MAX CREDIT LIMIT

 

YEN 10.8 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Seiji Miyauchi in order to make most of his previous experience in the subject line of business in foreign trading.  This is a trading house specializing in household goods, such as clothing, small furniture items, towels, portable radios, toasters, cosmetics, toiletries, beddings, etc.  Also handles horticultural & gardening tools & supplies.  Goods are imported widely from China, USA, UK, Netherlands, France, Italy, Belgium, Korea, other.  Has two purchasing offices in China.  Imports from China are rising, while those from Europe are seen decreasing due to the extremely weaker Yen against Euros, making import costs a lot higher and unable to pass onto consumers for the overage.  Clients are chain stores, supermarkets, specialty stores, other.  Actively retails them online (Mayfair Online), too. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The firm stopped releasing full financials with the last as of the 31/03/2002 fiscal term.  Only partial figures are being disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 603 million, a 17% up from Yen 515 million in the previous term.  Imports from China rose, particularly at competitively lower prices in the downstream markets.  The net profit was posted at Yen 2 million, down from Yen 4 million a year ago.  This is referred to the rising costs of operations.

 

For the term just ended Mar/2008 the net profit was projected at Yen 2 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 620 million.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 10.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount for 60 days terms is considered within the firm’s financial capacities.
