COMMENT

 

MFR SPECIALIZING IN SEMICONDUCTOR PERIPHERALS, WHOLLY OWNED BY ENPLAS CORPORATION.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 145.3 MILLION, NORMAL 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of the semiconductor peripherals mfg division separated from Enplas Corporation, top processor of precision plastics, Saitama (see REGISTRATION).  The parent at the same time separated Display Device Division as an independent entity.  The arrangements are part of restructuring and streamlining operations.  The given name is one of its products (the China subsidiary is titled as Enplas HY-card Electronic (Shanghai) Co Ltd).  The subject specializes in mfg semiconductor peripherals (see details in OPERATION).  The firm has 13 overseas subsidiaries/offices to cover overseas markets.  80-90% of the goods are shipped to NEC Corp, nation’s representative high-tech powerhouse, Tokyo, on contracts.  The semiconductor operations account for about 14% of total group sales.  The goods are both imported and exported.     

 

The sales volume for Mar/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 4,507 million, an 18% up from Yen 3,804 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to robust demand for semiconductor and peripherals both at home and abroad, particularly in China and other S/E Asian countries.  The operations came back to profitability to register Yen 338 million net profit for the term.

 

For the term ended Mar/2006 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 360 million, on an 8% rise in turnover, to Yen 4,850 million.  The subject firm does not release the results for the term, and we have calculated the figures from the results released from the parent, Enplas Corporation.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 145.3 million, on normal 30 days terms.  On the back of the financial strength of the parent, the subject is considered FAIR in financial status and responsible for credit engagements up to the estimated amount.
