COMMENT

 

TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN MICROWAVE & ELECTRONICS COMPONENTS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK  AND DOUBTFUL FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$55,000 / O/A 30 DAYS.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 3.6 MILLION, NORMAL 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Shintaro Miyata in order to make most of his previous experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading house specializing in import and wholesale of microwave & millimeter wave components, electronics components, optical apparatus, etc.  Also offers technical support.  Goods are imported from USA and Europe.  Clients include major electronics mfrs automakers, research institutes, universities, government agencies, etc.  Financials are only partially disclosed. 

 

The sales volume for Nov/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 284 million, a 12% down from Yen 321 million in the previous term.  This is reportedly referred to inventory adjustments in progress at some of the client’s stock bases.  Higher Yen against foreign currencies depressed sales in Yen terms, too.  The net profit was tripled down to Yen 5 million from Yen 15 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Nov 2006 the net profit is projected at Yen 5 million, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 300 million.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  The proposed amount is considered TOO HIGH from the recent financial status.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3.6 million, on normal 30 days terms.
