COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN JEWELRY.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK AND DOUBTFUL FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$450,000 / O/A 120 DAYS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Nobuyoshi Yamaguchi in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a family-based company, starting originally as a wholesaler of gemstones and jewelry products, and from early 2005 started importing the goods from Bangkok, Thailand.  The firm employed a specialist in the trade for that purpose.  Gem stones are imported from Thailand centrally and subcontracted mfg into jewelry products to local jewelry processors.  Clients are local jewelry processors, jewelry designers, jewelry stores, etc, centering in greater-Tokyo region.  Full financials are not disclosed, except the following partial figures.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financial are disclosed partially and in rounded off numbers.

 

The sales volume for May/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 175 million, a 3% up from Yen 170 million in the previous term.  The imports from Thailand rose and contributed to the sales growth, also noted is the expanded client networks thanks to the quality jewelry products made into imported precious stones.  The net profit was posted at 1 million, unchanged from the previous term.

 

For the term just ended May 2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 1 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 180 million.  Weaker Yen should have contributed.  Business is seen on the upswing. 

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  The proposed amount, however, is considered TOO HIGH from the current financial status.
