COMMENT

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN COTTON YARNS & TEXTILE MACHINERY.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 5.8 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Toshio Noguchi in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a trading firm specializing in import and export of cotton yarns and textile machinery.  Goods are imported from and exported to mostly India.           

 

Business is seen rather slow to expand as trade competition getting severer with lower-priced imports from China and other S/E Asian countries.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 383 million, a 25% sharp down from Yen 510 million in the previous term.  Price competition over cotton yarns are getting severer.  The net profit, on the other hand, remained similar at Yen 17 million.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 17 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 400 million.  Weaker Yen is expected to uplift sales in Yen terms.

           

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 5.8 million, on normal 30 days terms.
