HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established as a collective purchasing office jointly by Mitsui & Co, a leading general trading house, Tokyo, and three DIY home center operators: Homac Corp, Sapporo; Kahma Co Ltd, Aichi-Pref; and Daiki Co Ltd, Matsuyama.  Toshihiro Hisada is concurrently pres at Khama Co, and the other directors are all from each of the three partners.  The aims of the firm are, as outlined by the company: to create an “industrial level collaboration” to generate “maximum synergy”, covering selection of raw materials, product planning, distribution, etc; to achieve total cost reduction & price adjustment; to design, develop private and original brands products; just-in-time logistics, etc.  As such, the firm specializes in import and wholesale of a wide range of goods handled by home center operators, such as: gardening & pet supplies, DIY kits & tools, auto accessories, leisure goods, house keeping supplies, furniture, interior goods, home appliances, clothing, accessories, kerosene, etc.  Goods are imported mainly from China and other S/E Asian countries.  Mitsui’s wide marketing networks worldwide are being effectively utilized.  Goods are wholly shipped to the three chain stores operators.  Total stores operated by the group are 425 from Hokkaido to Shikoku.

 

In Sept 2006, the parties established a joint-stock company, DCM Japan Holdings Co Ltd, at the caption address to integrate business operations.  The subject then became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company.  

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are made available in digest.

 

The sales amount for Jan/2006 amounted to Yen 9,900 million, a 30% up from Yen 7,644 million in the previous term.  This is thanks to the new opening of chain stores of the group.  The net profit decreased to a minimum amount post-taxes from Yen 6 million net profit a year ago.  Rising costs of imports ate into profits.

 

For the term ended Jan/2007 the net profit was projected and believed posted at Yen 10 million, on a slight rise in turnover, to Yen 10,000 million.  Supply of the goods to group chain stores will be upgraded to 90% from the current 70%.

 

Financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 119.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
