HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Taiyo Fishery group originally as Azuma Boeki KK for exporting farm/fishery products and non-life insurance broking.  In 1953, licensed as importer of petroleum products.  After merging several sister firms, renamed as captioned in 1963 to focus on petroleum trading business.  In 1988, advanced into crude oil/oil products transportation business by large-size tankers.  In 1989, advanced into chemical tanker operations (total 11 chemical tankers operated).  This is a trading house having 5 divisions: Petroleum Div, Materials Div, Shipping Div, Insurance Broking Div, and Real Estate Div.  (See OPERATION for details).  The Petroleum Div accounts for about 60% of total sales.  Domestic major clients are oil refiners both on the supply and sales. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 88,845 million, a 6% hike from Yen 83,508 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the skyrocketing oil prices which boosted sales despite almost similar volumes handled.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,813 million and the net profit at Yen 215 million, respectively, compared with Yen 2,021 million recurring profit and Yen 1,641 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The deteriorated profits are referred to Yen 3,468 million extraordinary losses stemming the disposal of fixed assets. 

 

For the term ended Mar 2007 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 1,830 million and the net profit at Yen 220 million, respectively, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 94,000 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,170.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
