COMMENT

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN STEEL PRODUCTS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK AND DOUBTFUL FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$100,000 / D/P AT SIGHT.

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 3 MILLION, SECURED TERMS REOMMENDED

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Tsutomu Masui in order to make most of his experience in foreign trading.  Handling items are believed to be steel & metal sheets, plates, other products as judged from domestic suppliers, but T Masuda declined to specify items.  Also believed handling forklift parts & components, supplied from domestic forklift mfrs.  T Masuda says his clients know very well of the items handled, and that he does not want them to be known particularly to fellow traders.  No other databases are available to pinpoint items.  He confirmed, however, that operations are essentially export business.  Export destinations are Guam, Saipan, Palau Island, Truk Islands, other.  Goods are supplied from major steel mfrs, forklift mfrs, and traders.  Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Jun/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 250 million, a 7% down from Yen 270 million in the previous term.  This is believed to the strong Yen against foreign currencies that depressed sales in Yen terms.  The net profit remained unchanged at Yen 1 million.

 

For the current term ending Jun 2006 the net profit is estimated to mark time at Yen 1 million, on a similar turnover, at Yen 250 million.  Business is seen slacking.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  The proposed amount, however, is considered TOO HIGH from the recent financial status.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3 million, on fully secured terms recommended.
