Isuzu Reports $372-Million Loss: Isuzu Motors Ltd. of Japan reported a pretax loss of $372 million in the fiscal year ended Oct. 31, its first annual loss in five years, as its overseas sales slumped. The results compared to pretax earnings of $118 million in fiscal 1990. General Motors Corp. of the United States owns 37.5% of Isuzu. An Isuzu official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, attributed the truck and car manufacturer’s loss to a sharp decline in exports, particularly to North America.
