COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN POLISHED DIAMONDS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 6.5 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Patel Chandrakant, an Indian businessman residing in Japan, in order to import and market polished diamonds and other gem stones in Japan.  90% of the goods are imported from India and the rest from Belgium, etc.  The firm employs 5 sales staff, including three Indians.  Diamonds are partially processed into jewelry products on consignment to local jewelry processors. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The subject does not disclose financials and the following figures have been verbally obtained from Patel Chandrakant.  No are reported from outside sources, either.

 

The sales volume for Jan/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 420 million, a 5% UP from Yen 400 million in the previous term.  Consumer spending recovered.  The net profit was posted at Yen 5 million, up from Yen 4 million a year ago.

 

For the term just ended Jan 2007 the net profit was projected and believed posted at Yen 5 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 440 million.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies should have contributed to sales growth in Yen terms.  Also consumer spending is seen picking up.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 6.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.  We recommend, however, fully secured terms on new transactions.  This is because the financials have been verbally obtained from Patel Chandrakant, with no outside date to verify the figures.
