HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1951 by Michihiro Abe in order to wholesale women’s apparel, on his account.  In 1952, opened Osaka Branch, followed by mfg factory at the caption address, and advanced into mfg operations.  Incorporated in 1958, the       firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  Shozo is the founder’s son, who took the pres         office in Oct1996.  The subject firm, wholly owned by the Abe family, specializes in mfg women’s slacks, long pants and jeans only, and no other apparel goods.  Goods are sold online, too.  In 1971, absorbed a subsidiary shipping firm, Kuzushio Kaiun KK, which brings steady     revenues. Full financials are available only for the 30/06/2004 fiscal term, including the         30/06/2001 fiscal term.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Jun/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 558 million, a 10% down from Yen 617 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the harsher competition among the trade due to cheaper imports from S/E Asian countries.  The decreased sales in the apparel division were to some extent compensated by steady revenues from shipping operations but not fully, and sales declined.  The net profit was posted at 178 million, down 62% from Yen 481 million a year ago, hurt by the skyrocketing fuel oil & materials prices for the shipping operation.

The net worth is only estimated at Yen 1,792 million, as calculated from the previous Yen 1,614 million.

 

For the term ended Jun 2006 the net profit is estimated posted at Yen 175 million, on a 1.4% decline in turnover, to Yen 550 million.  Full financials (or final results) have not been made available.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 13.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.
