COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN PLASTIC FILM BAGS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$625,000 / O/A 60 DAYS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 70.0 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Shuichi Kobayashi in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading firm for importing and wholesaling polyethylene film bags centrally, and related film bags.  Goods are imported mostly from subcontracted mfrs in Hong Kong, China, Thailand, etc.  Clients are major volume discount chains, trading houses, plastic product makers, etc, nationwide.  Goods continue in rising demand due to stricter regulations for garbage disposal for using municipally designated quality film bags.  Recently expanded import sources and subcontracted mfrs overseas. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed as follows. 

         

The sales volume for Sept/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,670 million, a 50% sharp rise from Yen 2,438 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the rising demand for the products due to the said stricter local rules for garbage disposal bags.  To cope with the upbeat in demand the firm expanded import sources widely in addition to existing suppliers.  The net profit was posted at Yen 35 million, up 52% from Yen 23 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Sept 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 38 million, on a 10% rise in turnover, to Yen 4,000 million.  Demand continues.  Weaker Yen will contribute to sales growth in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 70.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount for 60 days terms is considered well within the firm’s financial capabilities.
