NISSAN MOTOR <NSANY> SEES SECOND HALF PROFIT Nissan Motor Co Ltd of Japan said it expects that it was profitable in the second half ended yesterday after a first half operating loss of 17 billion yen. Nissan chief financial officer Atsushi Muramatsu, in a speech before an automotive seminar, said he attributed the improvement to cost reductions and rationalizations of operations. He said if exchange rates stabilize, Nissan will have a strong profit recovery in fiscal 1988 and profits for fiscal 1989 better than those before the yen started advancing. Muramatsu said Nissan is studying the possibility of setting up its own finance company to improve access to U.S. and European capital markets.
