COMMENT    

 

TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN EXPORTING INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 


 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT

 

YEN 21.9 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Toshikatsu Saito and three other members in order to make most of their previous experiences in the chemical industry.  This is a trading house specializing in export of industrial chemicals (see OPERATION).  Export destinations cover worldwide: USA, Europe, India, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Korea, other.  Goods are supplied from domestic major chemical makers.  More than 50% of the turnover accounts for pharmaceutical industry, and the balance for: food & feeds, polymers, reprographic, dyestuffs & inorganic industries.  The firm will be celebrating 20th anniversary in Sept 2008. 

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The firm does not disclose full financials only except the following partial figures.

 

The sales volume for Sept/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,146 million, a 17% down from Yen 1,383 million in the previous term.  Exports slowed.  One major account reduced imports substantially due to inventory control.  Business did not expand as expected.  The net profit decreased to Yen 3 million from Yen 6 million a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Sept 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 4 million, on a 9% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,250 million.  Exports recovered.  Weaker Yen in the early period should have contributed.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and should be good for ORDINARY

business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 21.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.
