COMMENT

 

WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN PACKAGING MATERIALS, WHOLLY OWNED BY SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO LTD.  

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$125,000 / O/A 30 DAYS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 88.3 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a plastic sales division separated from Sekisui Shoji KK, trading house owned by Sekisui Chemical Co Ltd (see REGISTRATION), to cover west Japan.  Separately established were: Sekisui Techno Shoji East Japan Co Ltd (covering east Japan) and Sekisui Techno Shoji Chubu Co Ltd (covering Nagoya area).  This is a trading division specializing in wholesaling synthetic resin packaging materials, products of the parent: plastic bags & wrappers, films, jewelry accessories, other.  In Oct 2004 merged a sister company, Sekisui Techno Shoji Chubu Co Ltd, to make it Nagoya Branch to cover the greater-Nagoya region.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 15,287 million, an almost similar amount in the previous term.  Sales are considered on normal levels, as the last term‘s steep rise reflected the said merger.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 289 million and the net profit at Yen 148 million, respectively, compared with Yen 303 million recurring profit and Yen 159 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Profits deteriorated due to rising costs of materials and operations.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 300 million and the net profit at Yen 150 million, respectively, on a 1.4% rise in turnover, to Yen 15,500 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 88.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capabilities.
