COMMENT

 

EXPORTER SPECIALIZING IN PAPERBOARD CARTON MFG EQUIPMENT.

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

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4.5 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.  .

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Akihiko Nishihara in order to make most of his     experience in the subject line of business. A small-sized trading firm specializing in exporting paperboard boxes/cartons mfg equipment and associated accessories.  Goods are exported world-widely to USA, Europe, Asia, etc.  Also imports paper cutting machines from China. Goods for export are supplied from domestic specialty mfrs.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The firm stopped releasing full financials with the last at the 30/09/2002 fiscal term (in digest only), and only the following partial figures are made available.

 

The sales volume for Sept/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 270 million, an 8% up from Yen 250 million in the previous term.  The operations came back to profitability to post Yen 1 million net profit, compared with Yen 1 million net losses the previous year.  Due to competition prices were under downward pressure.

 

For the current term ending Sept 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 2 million, on an 11% rise in turnover, to Yen 300 million.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies, particularly Euro, may lift sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
