COMMENT

 

TRADING HOSUE SPECIALIZING IN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, WHOLLY OWNED BY TOYOTA TSUSHO CORP.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 882.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of intra-company “Tomen Chemical Corporation” separated from Tomen Corp to become Tomen Chemical Co Ltd.  In Apr 2006, when Tomen Corp and Toyota Tsusho Corp merged, the firm became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho Corp (See REGISTRATION).  This is a trading house for import, export and wholesale of industrial chemicals centrally.  Goods are imported from and exported to worldwide countries.  Clients are major chemical industries, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, other, nationwide.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales for the initial fiscal term ended Mar/2007 amounted to Yen 46,734 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 825 million and the net profit at Yen 481 million, respectively.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 850 million and the net profit at Yen 500 million, respectively, on a 9% rise in turnover, to Yen 51,000 million.  Materials prices hike plus weaker Yen will assist to raise sales in Yen terms.

 

The financials situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 882.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
