COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN SHOTGUNS & RIFLES.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 12 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company is a specialized trader of rifles, shotguns, other.  Sole distributor of Pietro Beretta Spa (Italy) guns and shells.  Also acts as exclusive importer and distributor for other foreign makers.  Goods are supplied to about 400 gun shops nationwide, from Hokkaido to Kyushu.  Stricter regulations on guns & gun holding make it harder for the company to maintain business with gun maniacs gradually decreasing in the rapidly aging population. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 680 million, an 8% down from Yen 740 million in the previous term.  Stricter regulations on guns/rifles are making it harder to market them.  The net profit was posted at Yen 9 million, compared with Yen 10 million a year ago.

 

For the term ended Mar 2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 9 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 690 million.  The handling volume remained similar, but the weaker Yen should have uplifted sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 12 million, on 30 days normal terms.
