COMMENT

 

A TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN TEXTILE MACHINERY, OWNED BY ITOCHU GROUP COMPANIES.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 88.3 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.  .

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established on the basis of a machinery export division separated from Itochu Corp, a leading general trading house, Tokyo (See REGISTRATION).  The subject exports, and partially imports, textile machinery & peripheral equipment, logistic plant & systems, environmental equipment, and other industrial machinery, including their parts & attachments.  Export destinations are China, Pakistan, Thailand, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, etc.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 24,920 million, a 13% down from Yen 28,551 million in the previous term.  Exports were slow.  Machinery prices continued under pressure due to competition.  The operations plunged into the red to register Yen 23 million recurring loss and Yen 372 million net loss, respectively, compared with Yen 118 million recurring profit and Yen 3 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Some extraordinary losses are reported.

 

For the term ended Mar 2007 the operations were projected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, despite a 10% rise in turnover, to Yen 27,500 million.  Exports were seen recovered.  Weaker Yen should have contributed to uplift sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 88.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
