HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Masashi Yamada in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  Shinji Yamada, now rep dir, is the founder’s son.  This is a trading house specializing in high-tech machinery & equipment for aircrafts, space & satellites, defense, etc.  Goods are mostly imported from USA.  Overseas subsidiaries: Yamada International Corporation (USA), opened 1972, headquartered at Washington DC; Yamada International GmbH (Europe), opened 2002, located in Frankfurt.  Has three subsidiaries: Aerospace Logistics & Electronic Engineering Co, CKB Corp, and Nippon UIC Co (import of aviation, space & defense equipment and peripherals, acquired in Jun 2004).

 

In Sept 2006, two executives (Motonobu Miyazaki, pres & Osamu Akiyama, mgn dir) and 11 staff left the firm to establish a new firm, Nihon Mirise Corporation, capital Yen 100 million, pres Motonobu Miyazaki; s/mgn dir Osamu Akiyama, in the similar line of defense & aerospace business, reportedly a rival company.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 34,073 million, a 9% up from Yen 31,128 million in the previous term.  Demand from defense-related and airlines increased.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,374 million and the net profit at Yen 985 million, respectively, compared with Yen 565 million recurring profit and Yen 420 million net profit, respectively, the previous year.

 

For the term just ended Mar 2007 the recurring profit was projected and believed posted at Yen 1,400 million and the net profit at Yen 1,000 million, respectively, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 36,000 million.  Demand is thought recovered particularly from the Defense Agency and related industries, in the light of strengthening the national securities.  Weaker Yen also assisted to raise sales amount in Yen terms, too.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1719 million, on 30 days normal terms.
