HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a division separated from Itokin Sohonsha, as Itokin Hambai KK, Osaka.  Kingo Tsujimura took the pres office.  In Jul 1982, merged Itokin Ace KK and renamed as captioned.  In Nov 1991, absorbed Tokyo Itokin KK and       moved the Headquarters to Tokyo.  This is a trading house with mfg divisions (mfg is by subsidiaries both at home and abroad), for import, export and wholesale of clothing & clothing accessories, furniture, house interior goods, other.  Akio Tsujimura is the founder’s son, who took the pres office in Jan 1998.  Operates 7 domestic subsidiaries and 30 overseas, of which 10 are in China. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are disclosed in digest form.

 

The sales volume for Jan/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 138,295 million, a 5% down from Yen 146,079 million in the previous term.  With increasing imports from China and other S/E Asian countries, clothing prices continued under downward pressure.  Sales amount did not expand as targeted.  The firm reported huge extraordinary losses for two consecutive terms, resulting in Yen 8,700 million net losses for the term.  The loss amount widened from Yen 2,296 million net loss a year ago.

 

For the term ended Jan 2007 the operations were projected to come back to profitability and believed posted Yen 500 million net profit, on a 1.2% rise in turnover, to Yen 140,000 million.  Weaker Yen should have contributed to raise sales amount in Yen terms. 

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3,040 million, on 30 days normal terms.
