COMMENT

 

IMPORTER OF STORE FURNITURE AND CONFECTIONERY. FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK AND DOUBTFUL FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$175,000 / TERMS O/A 15 DAYS

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 10.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Toshiro Matsui in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading house specializing in import and wholesale of store furniture, confectionery, etc.  The first direct imports started in Aug 1996.  Store furniture and equipment are supplied mainly to Karaoke bars, coffee shops, hotels, etc.  70% of the goods are imported.  Operates two overseas subsidiaries: Hong Kong (opened Dec/2005, and Shanghai (opened Apr 2007).

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed.

           

The sales volume for May/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 717 million, a 1.5% down from Yen 728 million in the previous term.  Furniture sales declined due to some client’s stores shutting down operations.  The net profit was posted at Yen 2 million, compared with Yen 1 million a year ago.

 

For the term just ended May 2007 the net profit was projected and believed posted at Yen 2 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 730 million.  Weaker Yen should have contributed to sales growth in Yen amount.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  The proposed amount for 15 days terms, however, is considered TOO HIGH from the present financial status.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 10.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
