COMMENT

 

WHOLESALER AND RETAILER SPECIALIZING IN AUTOMOTIVE TIRES. FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$90,000 / O/A 60 DAYS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4.9 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1951 by father of Koji Yamada in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  Incorporated in 1967, the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  Koji Yamada took the pres office in Oct 1995. Specializes in wholesaling and retailing tires, wheels and other associated goods for motorcycles and motorcars.  Also acts as agent dealer for Topy Enterprises Ltd, wholesaler of automotive parts, others, Tokyo, and offers wheel & tire fitting, maintenance and associated services.  Major client includes Mitsubishi Motors, which started recently, for supply of tires, wheels, etc, including maintenance services. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed in rounded-off numbers. 

 

The sales volume for Aug/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 305 million, a 2% up from Yen 300 million in the previous term.  Prices still remain under pressure by sale of recycled & second hand tires, added to lower priced imports.  The net profit, on the other hand, decreased to Yen 1 million, due to rising costs of materials and operations.  This compares with Yen 3 million net profit a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Aug 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 315 million.  Demand may have increased from the major client, Mitsubishi Motors.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered within the firm’s financial capabilities.
