COMMENT

 

TRADING HOUSE, AFFILIATED TO KANEMATSU CORP.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 1,517.2 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established jointly by voluntary groups of Mitsubishi Corp and former body of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, as a trading firm dealing with foods, metals, resources & materials, household items, etc.  In Jan 2006, 60% of Mitsubishi Corp & its group shares were transferred to Kanematsu Corp, which became 77.4% owning parent company.  This is a trading firm specializing in farm products, animal feeds, livestock products, vending machines for beverages, building materials, oil products, aluminum scraps, etc.  Has overseas subsidiaries in USA (2), UK and China.  In Aug/2006, took over 50% shares of nestle Vending KK from Nestle Japan Corp.  Major activities are centered in domestic operations with overseas trading accounting for 9%.  Aircraft engines and peripherals division is expanding and the vending machine division keeps rising.  Health foods also continue growing.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 197,944 million, a 9% down from Yen 217,500 million in the previous term, affected by sluggish consumer spending.  The net profit, on the other hand, improved to Yen 1,882 million from Yen 1,816 million a year ago.  The operations, however, dipped into the red to mark Yen 335 million net losses for the term, compared with Yen 1,000 net profit a year ago.  The firm booked some extraordinary losses for the term, due to restructuring costs as reported.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 1,900 million and the net profit at Yen 500 million, respectively, on a 1% rise in turnover, to Yen 200,000 million.  Aircraft engines and vending machines divisions will contribute.  Health foods div also growing.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,517.2 million, on 30 days normal terms.
