COMMENT

 

AIRLINE OPERATOR, AFFILIATED WITH ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: ALL CREDITS ARE RECOMMENDED ON FULLY SECURED TERMS DUE TO NEGATIVE NET WORTH.

 

Note: Forecasts for the 31/03/2007 fiscal term.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by local entrepreneurs to advance into airline business operations.  This is an airline operator servicing three routes from/to Haneda Airport and Kumamoto, Nagasaki and Miyazaki.  The firm went into financial difficulties in 2005 and sought protection under Industrial Revitalization Corp of Japan.  The IRCJ selected All Nippon Airways as the sponsor company for the rehabilitation.  ANA, now owns 14.9% of the firm’s stock, provides technical operations, such as plane maintenance and marketing.  The firm is successfully on the way to rehabilitation thanks to strong support from All Nippon Airways.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 14,460 million, a 21% up from Yen 11,935 million in the previous term.  The operations continued in the red to post Yen 2,685 million net loss for the term. This is referred largely to the increased costs and expenses covering new opening of Tokyo-Nagasaki route.

 

First Half results ending Sept/2006: sales Yen 9,059 million (up 33.4%), recurring loss Yen 1,020 million, net loss Yen 1,047 million.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the operations are projected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 3.7% rise in turnover, to Yen 15,000 million.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Due to the negative net worth we recommend all credits to be on fully guaranteed terms.
