Panasonic New Zealand Limited's financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 show the company is once again making a profit, albeit a moderate one.

In 2013, Panasonic made a loss of $4,221,000. However, in 2014 Panasonic made a total profit for the year of $7,000.

The company's total revenue for the 2014 financial year was $159,299,000. In 2013 this figure was $169,385,000.

Total assets also remained about the same. For the year ended 31 March 2014 assets totalled $40,058,000 and in 2013 they totalled $41,050,000.

On the flip side, total liabilities for 2014 were $21,255,000, which is down from the 2013 figure which was $22,254,000.

Net assets remained almost exactly the same - in 2014 it was $18,803,000 and in 2013 it was $18,796,000.

The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Panasonic Australia Pty Limited and the ultimate parent company is Panasonic Corporation Limited, based in Japan.
