HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Takehisa Toki in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading firm specializing in importing and wholesaling chilled beef, feeds, fertilizer, vegetables and foods.  Goods are all organically         produced. Beef comes centrally from USA, other from France, Spain, Argentine, Chile, China,         Indonesia, other. Clients include major meat packers nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Dec/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,185 million, a 24% up from Yen 3,596 million for irregular 9 months (due to change in accounting term) in the previous term.  The growth rate is adjusted on a 12-month basis.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 60 million and the net profit at Yen 6 million, respectively, compared with Yen 63 million recurring profit and Yen 44 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The net profit deterioration is referred to some NC’s plus risen imports and operation costs.

 

For the term just ended Dec 2006 the net profit was projected and believed posted at Yen 15 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 5,300 million.  Reportedly, the sales should have risen further thanks to the weaker Yen against foreign currencies.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 51.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
