COMMENT

 

TRADING COMPANY SPECIALIZING IN MARINE FUELS, MACHINERY & SUPPLIES, WHOLLY OWNED BY MITSUI OSK LINES.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 291.3 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1948 as a ship operation & maintenance company by the then OSK Lines (currently Mitsui OSK Lines after the merger).  In Apr 2000, the subject merged three sister firms: Mitsui OSK Kogyo Kaisha (founded 1948), Navix Techno-Trade (founded 1973) and Nippon Engineering & Machineries (founded 1967), to rename as captioned.  This is a trading firm specializing in supply of marine fuels, luboils, ship machinery, equipment, parts, and other materials related to ships, including ship management & maintenance services, as a mainline.  By the merger, operations expanded to include machinery division, real estate division, shore construction materials division, and new business division (see OPERATIONS).  The mainline of marine fuels & lube oils division is growing rapidly backed up by the steep rise in oil prices.  Clients are mostly Mitsui OSK Lines group firms.  Three overseas subsidiaries take part in supplying marine fuels and ship supplies overseas.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 45,318 million, a sharp 38% up from Yen 32,667 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the skyrocketing rise in oil prices for supply to ships.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 572 million and the net profit at Yen 532 million, respectively, compared with Yen 284 million recurring profit and Yen 188 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 580 million and the net profit at Yen 530 million, respectively, on a 10% rise in turnover, to Yen 50,000 million.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 291.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
