COMMENT

 

RETAILER SPECIALIZING IN WATER PURIFIER & NATURAL WATER.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                                               

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 0.5 MILLION, 30 DAYS TERMS, PROVIDED ALL CREDITS ARE RECOMMENDED STRICTLY UNDER GUARANTEE. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1975 as YK Tigers Shoji for retailing water purifying devices and later when the firm obtained licensee agreement for marketing “New        Life” brand water purifiers in Ginowan City area.  Being an island area affected by sea water, the water purifiers sold dramatically well at the initial stage.  This created a rush of new participants in this market. When demand peaked, the “bubble” burst.  The firm expanded operations to           handle diversified products, such as pure natural water, mineral water, natural skin-care products, health-care equipment, etc.   The turnover has been declining to one half of the peak year when it posted Yen 120 million.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed.  The last when the firm released digested financials was for the 31/03/2003 fiscal term.  The total assets reported at Yen 14 million with negative net worth.

 

The sales volume for 31/03/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 50 million, a 6% down from Yen 53 million in the previous term.  Consumer demand remained sluggish.  The profits are reported at a minimum amount post-taxes

 

For the term just ended Mar 2007 the net profit was projected at Yen 1 million, on a 10% recovery in turnover, to Yen 55 million.  This target has reportedly been achieved, but no final results as yet.

 

The financial situation is considered WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 0.3 million, on 30 days terms.   We recommend that any & all credits to be strictly on guaranteed terms.
