COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN POLISHED DIAMONDS AND DIAMOND JEWELRY.  FINANCIAL SITUATION UNDETERMINED DUE TO THE RECENT INCEPTION BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4.5 MILLION, SECURED TERMS RECOMMENDED UNTIL FINANCIALS ARE MADE AVAILABLE.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established as a branch office in Japan BY JB Group, India, FOUNDED 1965 for marketing their products in Japan.  B B Kukadia is a relative of Bhavagan Kukadia, co-founder of the Indian principal.  The subject is a trading firm for import and wholesale of polished diamonds from India. and diamond jewelry & other jewelry products from Hong Kong.  The information relative to the firm is limited and we have directly contacted the firm and obtained the information contained herein.  The financials are not disclosed in details and the figures given here have been verbally obtained from the director, B H Patel.  The financials, however, have not been confirmed or verified from other databases.

 

The sales volume for Jul/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 500 million, a 10% up from Yen 450 million in the previous term.  The business is growing steadily with the number of clients increasing by assiduous sales efforts, said the treasurer.  The net profit is not disclosed.  We estimate Yen 15 mill to Yen 20 million should have been posted.  No verification, however.

 

For the current term ending Jul 2006 the net profit is projected at Yen 20 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 520 million.  The treasurer expects turnover will further expand due to the weaker Yen against foreign currencies lifting sales in Yen terms.

 

Both the financial situation and business trends are not determined due to the recent inception and the lack of financial details but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Nothing detrimental is heard of the firm among fellow traders.  Max credit is estimated at Yen 4.5 million, assessed only from the professed sales turnover.  We recommend all CREDITS to be on fully guaranteed terms until financial details have been made available.
