The subject company was established by Bridge Leaning Ltd, Hong Kong, as its branch office in      Japan.  The firm imports Houghton Muffin and other school text books & materials.  Dealing is with its Hong Kong office only.  Clients are international schools & private bilingual schools.  The firm declined to divulge any further information saying that their business is only with Hong Kong Headquarters and      financials are handled by them.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Dec/2007 fiscal term is believed posted at Yen 100 million, but this is only estimated and verified by outside sources.

           

Both the financial situation and business trends are not determined due to the recent inception but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit cannot be assessed due      to the lack of financials and other relative information, which the firm refused to disclose.
