IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT & COMPONENTS, OWNED BY MACNICA INC.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 126.9 MILLION, NORMAL 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1980 as the System Section in Japan Macnics KK (now Macnica Inc) (see REGISTRATION) in order to handle computer system products.  In 1983, started networking operations as agent for Excelan Inc, USA.  In 2001, intra-company system was adopted and the Section was renamed Macnica Networks Company.  In 2004, separated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macnica Inc, to concentrate operations on distribution and integration of computer and communication equipment (see OPERATION for details).  Clients include telecom carriers, semiconductor mfrs, networking firms, other, nationwide.  Goods are imported from USA, Canada, Holland, etc.  Financials are consolidated by the parent.

 

The sales volume for the initial fiscal term for full one-year ending Mar/2005 amounted to Yen 7,250 million, with the net profit reported at Yen 346 million.  The firm booked Yen 24 million net loss for the Mar/2004 term as initial investment and outlays.  The firm reported pretax profits at Yen 847 million, lodged to the Taxation Office.  Hence, we calculated its net worth at Yen 620 million.

 

For the term just ended Mar/2006 the firm projected sales to grow 10% to Yen 8,000 million, and the net profit to Yen 370 million, according to sources.  The parent projects its sales to grow 13% for the term ending Mar/2006.  Both firms have not released results as yet.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 126.9 million, on normal 30 days terms.  Considering the parent’s financial strength the limit is deemed within the subject’s financial capabilities.
