COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN JEWELRY, COSMETICS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK AND DOUBTFUL FOR     CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$50,000 / O/A 30 DAYS TERMS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 2.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Keiichi Sakamoto in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a small-sized trading house, owned by Sakamoto family, specializing in import and wholesale of jewelry, cosmetics, and accessories.  Goods are imported centrally from Europe, and recently from China, other.  Due to price wars among the trade, the firm has been increasing imports from China and other S/E Asian countries at competitive prices.  Goods are wholly shipped to specialty wholesalers in the trade nationwide. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Dec/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 190 million, a similar amount in the previous term.  Business remained slow with lower-priced imports from China and other Asian countries continued down-pressure on prices.  The net profit was limited to the minimum amount, similarly in the last term.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 195 million.  Weaker Yen will likely uplift sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  The proposed amount is considered TOO HIGH from the recent financial status.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 2.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
