COMMENT

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 72.0 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1931 by Chiyosaburo Naito (passed away 1987) for selling sewing yarns, on his account, and was incorporated in 1948.  Present executives are the founder’s descendants.  Owned & operated by the Naito family.  This is a specialized trader for wholesaling ladies garments, handicraft materials & tools, hand-knitting yarns, other.  Imports hand-knitting yarns from Italy (CROSA brand) and handicraft scissors from Germany (HENCHELS brand).  Clients are major department stores, specialty chain stores, nationwide.  Operates a retail store in Yokoyamacho, Tokyo for selling ladies’ clothing & accessories.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Jun/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,959 million, a 2% down from Yen 6,074 million in the previous term, affected by the slumping consumer spending.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 96 million and the net profit at Yen 101 million, respectively, compared with Yen 91 million recurring profit and Yen 49 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  The profits reportedly included extraordinary income from the disposal of assets.

 

For the current term ending Jun 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 50 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 6,100 million.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies will help uplift sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 72.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capabilities.
