HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Toshio Ohki in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading firm, operated by the Ohki           family, for import and wholesale of polyethylene plastic (garbage) bags, films, shopping bags, other, for household & business use.  Goods are manufactured at subcontracted factories in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, other S/E Asian countries, and imported. 

 

First imports started from China in 2002.  Clients include supermarkets, convenience stores, wholesalers of packaging materials & cleaning products, other nationwide.  In Sept 2000, initiated direct transactions with Ito-Yokado & group firms (now of holding company, Seven & I Holdings Co Ltd, under which are: Ito-Yokado, Seven-Eleven Japan and Denny’s Japan).  This    paved the way to expand businesses.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,953 million, a 46% up from Yen 2,708 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to stricter standards recommended by municipalities, nationwide, on quality, materials, etc of garbage disposal bags & films.  Higher materials prices also assisted to boost sales.  The net profit increased to Yen 63 million from Yen 44 million a year ago.  Financials were disclosed in full for the first time this term.

 

For the term just ended Mar 2007 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 120 million and the net profit at Yen 70 million, on an 11% rise in turnover, to Yen 4,400 million.  Weaker Yen may have increased sales volume in Yen terms.  Final results are yet to be produced.  Business is seen continuing rising. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 25 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount for 60 days terms is considered within the firm’s financial capabilities.
