COMMENT

 

TRADING DIVISION SPECIALIZING IN PEARLS, WHOLLY OWNED BY GOLAY BUCHEL HOLDING, SWITZ.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$50,000 / O/A 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 36.9 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.  .

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Golay Buchel Holding, Switz, as its marketing     base in Japan, to engage in international trading business.  Golay Buchel Japan KK, founded in            1957, is a sister firm founded as a purchasing office in Kobe.  The subject functions as its          foreign trading division to import and export the goods.  Goods are imported from Golay             Buchel group firms in Italy, France, Germany, etc.  Has 3 group branch offices in Tokyo, Kobe         and Fukuoka.  Tokyo Branch handles essentially South Sea pearls.  Pearls are also exported.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

The sales volume for Dec/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,000 million, a 5% down from Yen 2,100 million in the previous term.  Hurt by sluggish consumer spending.  The net profit was posted at Yen 18 million, down from Yen 20 million the previous year.

 

For the term just ended Dec 2006 the net profit was projected and estimated posted at Yen 20 million, on a 5% recovery in turnover, to Yen 2,100 million.  Weaker Yen should have contributed.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 36.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capabilities, backed up by the Swiss parent’s financial strength.
