COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN FRUITS & VEGETABLES.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 18.3 MILLION, NORMAL 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Sadami Yano in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading house, wholly owned and managed by the Yano families, specializing in importing and wholesaling fresh fruits and vegetables.  Specifically imports tropical fruits.  Imports are from New Zealand, USA, Korea, Australia, Turkey, China, Taiwan, Mexico, Chile, other.  Clients are specialty stores and mfrs in the fruits & vegetables mfg lines, wholesalers, chain stores, fruits & vegetable markets, nationwide.  Financials are only partially disclosed as follows.

The sales volume for Dec/2004 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,222 million, a 2% down from Yen 1,252 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the harsh competition among the trade, particularly affected by cheap imports from China and other S/E Asian countries.  The firm also imports from China in greater volumes to cope up with the competition.  The operations came back to profitability to register Yen 1 million net profit, compared with Yen 9 million net losses a year ago.

 

For the term ended Dec/2005 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 1 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,250 million.  The results should have been reported to the Taxation Office by the end of March but they have not been made available officially.  The figures have been verbally obtained from the treasurer and not attested.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 18.3 million, on normal 30 days terms.
