HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1964 by Yasuhiko Akasaka in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business, on his account, and was incorporated in 1960.  Originally started mfg of plastic films, such as food wrapping films, garbage disposal bags, kitchen sink bags, clothes-pegs, laundry lines, etc for household chore use.  The mfg division has been reduced and replaced by lower-priced imports from subcontracted factories in China and other Asian countries.  Higher costs of mfg in Japan drove the firm to make this switch.  Now the firm is categorized as a trading firm.  Clients are major chain stores, furniture stores, supermarkets, other, nationwide.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Feb/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,284, a 9% up from Yen 2,099 million in the previous term.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 114 million and the net profit at 65 million, up from Yen 54 million net profit a year ago.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies contributed to sales growth in Yen terms.  Further, demand for plastic disposal films and bags keeps rising due to increasingly stricter regulations by local municipalities on the quality/size/etc from the recycling & incineration/disposal processing and eco-friendly measures.

 

For the current term ending Feb 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 65 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,390.  Demand is expected to continue rising.   Rising costs of imports may eat into profitability.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 108.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount for 45 days terms is considered within the firm’s financial capacities.
