COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND RETAILER SPECIALIZING IN RAILWAY MODELS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                                               

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 800,000.00, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS, WE    RECOMMEDING SECURED TERMS ON NEW TANSACTIONS. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Atsushi Sato in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a one-man operated shop specializing in railway, tram & traction models & parts.  Goods are imported mainly from Austria and retailed at the caption shop.  Also retailed online.  Goods are partially subcontracted mfg to local makers.  The firm does not disclose information on the management and financials and all the information contained herein have been directly obtained from Atsushi Sato himself.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Dec/2006 fiscal term is said amounted to Yen 50 million, a 100% up from Yen 25 million in the previous term.  Demand increased sharply from railway maniacs, particularly from retired men.  The net profit was posted at Yen 5 million, according to A Sato.  The net worth is believed at Yen15 million, but not confirmed by A Sato.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 10 million, on a 100% rise in turnover, to Yen 100 million.  Business is on the upswing, according to A Sato.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 800,000.00, on 30 days normal terms.  We, however, recommend secured terms on new transactions.  This is because the financials are self-professed and not verified by third parties, or any of the databases.
