Telecommunications company Fujikura (TYO:5803) and electronics manufacturer Furukawa Electric (TYO:5801) have agreed to dissolve their 50:50 joint venture, Viscas, and waive claims against the company.
Both companies' boards resolved on March 27 to waive loans receivable totalling 8.27 billion yen, as Viscas' remaining operations have substantially concluded.
The dissolution follows a 2016 agreement to terminate the joint venture, after which Viscas transferred its core businesses to its two parent companies.
As of March 31, Viscas reported negative net assets of nearly 16 billion yen and total assets of 1.46 billion yen.
Both Furukawa Electric and Fujikura said they had already recorded allowances for doubtful accounts in the fiscal year ended March 2025.
