COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN TOWELS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 17.5 MILLION, NORMAL 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Yoshihito Hayashi in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  The firm is owned and operated by the Hayashi family, specializing in import and wholesale of towels, linens, fragrance, other.  The firm employs in-house division company system: Francjour, Cl-blanc and Verdemure.  Each division is responsible for area & item operations.  The Francjour Div acts as import agent for Cote Bastide and Edith Mezard (--France).  The firm also operates in-house shops at department stores, centering in Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya.  This business is thrown into cut-throat competition with lower prices imports coming in from China and other S/E Asian countries.  Downstream market prices continue under pressure.  The firm is actively differentiating itself by marketing higher-quality products from Europe, unlike those from these countries.  Still the competition is getting severer.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,134 million, an 18% down from Yen 1,388 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the said competition among the trade.  The net profit declined to one-fourth of the previous level to Yen 2 million.

 

For the term ended Mar 2006 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 2 million, despite a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,200 million.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies is thought to have contributed to sales growth in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 17.5 million, on normal 30 days terms.
