                        Forecast (or estimated) figures for 31/03/2009 fiscal term

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Kisaburo Masaki, now ch, as a wholesaler of jewelry and accessories, owned & managed by the Masaki family.  This is a comprehensive wholesaler of jewelry and precious stones & metals.  Strength in handling a wide range of items including ingots, diamonds and colored stones.  Particularly strong in diamond jewelry.  Goods are             also imported from Europe, USA, S/E Asian countries. Goods are retailed through a subsidiary jewelry store, JMC KK, too.  Two overseas JV’s in Singapore and Hong Kong were closed by Apr 2004 as a round of restructuring.  Imports are now handled directly or through specialized traders. Holds large-scale sales promotion campaigns regularly nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 8,534 million, a 20.5% decline from Yen 10,738 million in the previous term.  This is referred to sluggish consumer spending for luxurious goods.  Price hikes in materials costs also hurt.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 50 million and the net profit at Yen 26 million, respectively, compared with Yen 101 million recurring profit and Yen 90 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

           

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 100 million and the net profit at Yen 70 million, on a 1.2% rise in turnover, to Yen 8,634 million.  Brand items will continue steady growth, while the firm is narrowing items to highly-profitable ones to improve profits.            

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
