Diminishing Growth

Using revenue growth of 14.3% from 2003-2004,

and 6% from 2004-2005, you could project that
revenue growth from 2005-2006 could be equal to:
6/14.3=.4196
.4196*6= 2.52% (new assumed growth rate)
Leaving all other variables the same
Estimated Intrinsic Value = $34.84

Valuation continued..

Impressive growth
By Viewing the table which displays sales in yen
over the 9 months ended 12/31/2004, and then
looking at the sales in yen for the 9 months ended
12/31/2005 you get the following numbers
2004 sales = 6300551
2005 sales =7074255
Growth rate= 7074255/6300551= 12.2%
Adjusted to 10%
Estimated Intrinsic Value = $62.50
