COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN POLISHED DIAMONDS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was reactivated in May 2002 by Ashish Choudhari on the basis of      taking over a firm, Shubham International Ltd, in the similar line of importing polished diamonds, founded in Sept 1999 by an Indian businessman.  Specializes in importing and wholesaling       polished diamonds from India centrally, and partially from Hong Kong and Thailand.  A resident of Japan, A Choudhari speaks fluent Japanese with good business contacts in Kofu City, hub of jewelry processors and stores, and in greater-Tokyo area.  Diamonds and other precious stones are partially subcontracted mfg into jewelry products to local processors.  About half of the clients are in Tokyo area.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

Financials are only partially disclosed in rounded-off figures.

 

The sales volume for Dec/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 340 million, a sharp 24% decline from Yen 450 million in the previous term.  Business was slack due to lower consumer spending.  Price hikes also hindered the sales growth.  The net profit was posted at Yen 1 million, compared with Yen 2 million a year ago

 

For the current term ending Dec 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 350 million.  Business is seen slowly recovering.

 

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