HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1911 by Sazo Idemitsu at Moji as Idemitsu Shokai, a sole proprietorship on his account, thence advanced into China & Manchuria.  In 1940 incorporated as Idemitsu Kosan KK, absorbing the said Idemitsu Shokai, and in 1947, when Oil Distribution Assoc started, resumed oil business in Japan.  This is leading oil refinery, independent of any of the Major Oil Companies, with petrochemical producing operations.  In 1953, amid the internationaldisputes over Iran, the firm ventured to send tankers to Iran and imported crude oils    from there, which made the firm conspicuous in the oil industry.  In Aug 2004, absorbed Idemitsu Petrochemical Co Ltd, wholly owned subsidiary founded 1964, by separating unprofitable operation units to Mitsui Chemical Corp.  In Nov 2005, upgraded Beijing Office to a wholly owned subsidiary, Idemitsu Energy Consulting (Beijing) Co Ltd.  The firm went public by listing on the Tokyo S/E on 24/10/2006.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,327,403 million, a 20.4% up from Yen 2,763,668 million in the previous term.  The sharp leap is attributed to the soaring crude oil prices which eventually were passed on to consumers.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 70,829 million and the net profit at Yen 27,391 million, respectively, compared with Yen 79,594 million recurring profit and Yen 5,894 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.  The previous term’s net losses are referred to the asset-impairment accounting system employed from that term.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 81,000 million and the net profit at Yen 30,000 million, respectively, on a 7.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 3,580,000 million.The forecasts are based on: Crude oil US$56/bbl; Yen 188/US$.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and goof for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 40,467.2 million, on 30 days normal terms.
