COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN DIAMONDS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$125,000 / O/A 120 DAYS.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4.05 MILLION, NORMAL 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Setsuo Hosoi in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading house for import and wholesale of polished diamonds and other gemstones.  Goods are imported from selected suppliers.  This business is steadily growing with clientele networks expanding year by year.  Clients include major jewelry stores and processors.  The financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Oct/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 450 million, a sharp 80% up from Yen 250 million in the previous term.  This was thanks to the expanded client networks to major jewelry processors, particularly Oriental Diamond and Nagahori Corp are mentioned.  The latter handles diamonds centrally, having JV in Israel for diamond polishing, with annual turnover around Yen 18,000 million.  The firm wrote off Yen 12 million for the initial term ending 31/10/2003, with accumulated losses are estimated at around Yen 6 million.  We have expressed the net worth on the negative side.

 

For the current term ending Oct 2006 the net profit is projected at Yen 4 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 470 million.  The firm aims to achieve at least 10% rise in turnover, taking into further expansion of clients.  We have estimated rather conservatively.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4.05 million, on normal 30 days terms.  The proposed amount for 120 day terms is considered within the firm’s financial capacities.
