COMMENT

 

SHIP OPERATOR AND AGENCY BUSINESS.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 28.0 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.  .

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Yue Li, resident Chinese, in order to make most of his previous experience in the shipping business.  This is a ship owner and operator of a total 13 vessels, plying between Japan/China, Korea and S/E Asia.  The firm has four divisions: ship owning and operating team (owning 13 vessels); ship agency team; export/import team (steel products, mechanical materials, plastic & raw materials); Ship service team (ship sales/purchases, ship material supply).

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 4,362 million, a sharp 36% up from Yen 3,201 million in the previous term.  This is thanks to robust transportation needs to and from China, where demand for steel, steel products, other raw materials rose sharply.  The net profit was posted at Yen 60 million, up from Yen 38 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 60 million, on a shade rise in turnover, to Yen 4,400 million.  Profits may erode due to rising fuel oil costs and operations.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 28.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
