HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Zensuke Ishikawa in order to make most of his    experience in the subject line of business.  This is a family-based firm, operating at home residence, specializing in import and wholesale of diamonds, other gem stones and jewellery products.  Goods are imported from India, Israel, Thailand, Hong Kong, etc.  Goods are partially subcontracted mfg to local processors into jewellery products.  Clients are jewellery processors, jewellery stores, wholesalers, etc, centering in Yamanashi-Pref, including greater-Tokyo region.  Being a family-based company, financials are only partially disclosed.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Oct/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,050 million, a similar amount in the previous term.  The firm is considered having steady clients to ensure steady revenues.  The net profit remained similar at Yen 12 million.  The firm stopped paying dividends for this term, compared with Yen 10/share previously.

 

For the term just ended Oct 2006 the net profit is believed posted at Yen12 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,100 million.  Weaker Yen should have contributed to uplift sales in Yen terms.
