COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN POLISHED DIAMONDS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was reactivated in May 2002 by Ashish Choudhari on the basis of      taking over a firm, Shubham International Ltd, in the similar line of importing polished diamonds, founded in Sept 1999 by an Indian businessman.  Specializes in importing and wholesaling polished diamonds from India centrally, and partially from Hong Kong and Thailand.  A resident of Japan, A Choudhari speaks fluent Japanese with good business contacts in Kofu City, hub of jewellery processors and stores, and in greater-Tokyo area.  Diamonds and other precious stones are partially subcontracted mfg into jewellery products to local processors.  About half of the clients are in Tokyo area.  Financials are only partially disclosed in rounded-off figures.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Dec/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 500 million, a 2% up from Yen 490 million in the previous term.  Business networks expanded.  The net profit was posted at Yen 4 million, up from Yen 3 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2006 the net profit is projected at Yen 5 million, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 530 million.  Client networks continue expanding.  Weaker Yen may contribute to sales growth in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
