COMMENT

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN TELECOM.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: NEGATIVE NET WORTH.  ALL CREDITS ARE RECOMMENDED ON STRICTLY GUARANTEED TERMS. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by father of Yoshinobu Kumagai.  This is a trading firm, essentially owned and managed by the Kumagai family, for import, export and wholesale of telecom and peripherals.  Goods are imported from Sweden, etc, and exported to USA, Canada, Netherlands, Sweden, other.  Domestic clients include Self Defense Force, telecom mfrs, etc.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 66 million, a 12% up from Yen 59 million in the previous term.  Demand revived after slowed down enquiry last year.  Price competition was harder last term.  The operations came back to profitability to post Yen 6 million net profit, up from Yen 4 million net losses the previous term.  The accumulated losses of Yen 11 million at the term’s end were carried over into the next term.

 

For the term ended Mar/2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 8 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 68 million.  Demand is seen recovering.  Weaker Yen should have helped uplift sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Negative net worth and all credits are recommended on fully secured terms.
