COMMENT

 

IMPORTER OF DIAMONDS & JEWELRY.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Kiyozumi Suganuma in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  This is a family-based trading house for import and wholesale of polished diamonds, and other precious stones.  Goods are imported from India centrally.  Stones are partially subcontracted mfg into jewelry products to local jewelry processors.  Clients are jewelry processors, makers, jewelry stores, etc centering in Kofu-Pref, extending into greater-Tokyo region. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Aug/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 520 million, a 2% down from Yen 530 million in the previous term.  Sluggish demand persisted for luxury goods.  Price competition among the trade was getting severer.  Business is seen slow to progress.  The net profit remained similar at Yen 7 million.

 

For the term just ended Aug 2007 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 7 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 530 million.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies is believed turned up sales in Yen terms.  Business is observed picking up.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.
