MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 104.4 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was born by the merger on 01/Jan/2007 of Kyowa Seeds Co and Mikado Ikushu Nojyo in order to integrate operations.  This is a wholesaler specializing in agricultural equipment & supplies, seeds & seedlings, etc.  Owns a farm for seeds & seedlings in Chiba.  Operations cover nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for May/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 6,600 million, a 10% down from Yen 7,300 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the repercussion of decreased demand for vinyl greenhouse equipment which boosted last year.  The net profit was posted at Yen 12 million, down from Yen 18 million a year ago. 

 

For the term ended May 2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 15 million, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 7,000 million.  Final results are yet to be released.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 104.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
