COMMENT           

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN PC’S & PERIPHERALS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 92.3 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established as marketing base in Japan by Keian, Taiwan, for     selling PC’s & peripherals.  This is a trading house specializing in PC’s and peripherals.  Also   exports electronics parts & components to Taiwan, Singapore, etc.  Domestic clients include             major PC chain stores, electronics mfrs, other.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Jun/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 7,378 million, a 21% down from Yen 9,326 million in the previous term.  Due to competition among the trade, PC unit prices continued under pressure.  Higher dependence ratio of PC hardware hurt the operations.  The operations continued in the red to register Yen 16 million net losses for the term.  This compares with Yen 69 million net losses the previous year.  The firm is said in process of increasing PC software sales, including memory cards.  Balance Sheet is attached.

 

For the term ended Jun 2006 the operations are reported to have come back to profitability but still remained at a minimum amount post-taxes, on a similar turnover, at Yen 7,400 million.  Details have not been released.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 92.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
