HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1977 as a jewelry processor and later     in 1991 became a subsidiary of Imayo & Co Ltd, trading house of jewelry, based in Kyoto (See REGISTRATION).  Nobuhiro Imanishi is concurrently pres of the parent.  The subject specializes in mfg, processing of jewelry products, such as pendants, fingerings, earrings, and other products.  Also offers repairing, remodeling, made-to-order jewelry services.  Goods are      supplied from the parent and group firms.  Group consists of 9 firms domestic/overseas.  The subject operates an online shop named “Dr. Jewelry”. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Jul/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 572 million, a 6% down from Yen 610 million in the previous term.  Business was hurt by severe competition among the trade with lower-prices accessories imported from China and other S/E Asian countries.  The net profit remained unchanged at Yen 1 million.

 

For the term ended Jul/2006 the net profit is reported at Yen 1 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 600 million.  Sales in Yen terms were improved by weaker Yen against foreign currencies.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
