COMMENT

 

WHOLESALER OF CAR PARTS; REAL ESTATE MANAGEMENT. FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 29.2 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS. 

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Shoichi Kamiya in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.   A trading firm specializing in wholesaling automotive parts and       accessories: floor mats, rear sunshades, smoke curtains, other car interior & exterior accessories.  Also manages real estate including its own buildings.  Operated 6 subsidiaries but due to competition among the trade particularly in the light of recycled car parts & accessories, the firm gradually reduced operations.  Used to be listed on the JASDAQ, but was delisted in 2006.  Business is being gradually reduced to focus on real estate & nonresidential buildings operations, management & leasing, while car parts business is on a small scale retained.  Major client in the car business is still Toyota Motor.  Sold most of the facilities, including some of the buildings, and stockholdings to curtail operations. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The firm stopped releasing full financials as from the 31/03/2006 fiscal term after having been delisted from JASDAQ (We have attached full financials as SUPPLEMENT)

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 5,000 million, a drastic 59% down from Yen 12,210 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the said curtailment of operations and liquidation of unprofitable businesses, including subsidiaries.  The net profit is not disclosed, but is reportedly posted at Yen 50 million.  The net worth shown is only estimated.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 50 million, on a similar turnover, at Yen 5,000 million.  The firm is reported to concentrate on real estate management & operations.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 29.2 million, on 30 days normal terms.
