COMMENT

 

RETAILER SPECIALIZING IN JEWELRY.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$100,000 / O/A 90 DAYS.   

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Hideyuki Furukawa in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  Keiko is his wife.  Owned and operated solely by the Furukawa family, the firm specializes in retailing gemstones, special metals, necklaces, bracelets, fingerings, earrings, broaches, other jewelry products and accessories.  Gem stones are partially subcontracted mfg & processing to domestic jewelry processors.  About 60% of the goods are imported directly from Israel, Hong Kong, Thailand, China, other.  The owner makes regular business trips to these countries for direct purchase of the goods. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The firm stopped releasing financials (albeit partial) as from the 30/04/2005 fiscal term.  The following figures have been obtained from outside sources which, however, the firm declined to confirm.  All figures are therefore based on the information from outside sources.

 

The sales volume for Apr/2006 fiscal term is reported amounted to Yen 435 million, a 4% up from Yen 417 million in the previous term.  The net profit was posted at Yen 3 million, up from Yen 2 million a year ago.  Consumer spending is seen recovering.

 

For the term ended Apr 2007 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 3 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 450 million.  This is largely thanks to the weaker Yen against foreign currencies which resulted to lift sales in Yen terms.  This business faces severe competition on prices with lower-priced imports coming in from China and other S/E Asian countries.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and for ORDINARY business engagements. The proposed amount for 90 days terms is considered within the firm’s financial capabilities.
