HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1955 by father of Masanori Shibuta, on his account.  Incorporated in 1978, the firm has been succeeded by Masanori Shibuta.  This is a harbor tugboat operator, one of the top operators in Hokkaido.  Operations are extended into nationwide areas.  Clients include major construction companies nationwide.  Tokyo office covers the nationwide areas, from Hokkaido down to Kyushu.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The firm stopped disclosing full financials (in digest form) as from the 31/03/2005 fiscal term and the following partial figures are made available.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 993 million, a 45% steep hike from Yen 684 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the launching of new large size harbor tug boat.  The net profit rose steeply to Yen 21 million from Yen 5 million a year ago.  The firm booked Yen 31 million net loss for the 31/03/2004 fiscal term, coming from heavy investment costs.

 

For the term just ended Mar 2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 5 million, on an almost similar turnover, at Yen 1,000 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 14.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
