The subject company was established on the basis of a trading division separated from Eiko Watch Co Ltd, Osaka (see REGISTRATION), for importing and wholesaling watches, polished diamonds, other precious stones, jewelry products and accessories.  This firm is virtually a trading division of the parent, Eiko Watch.  Toshiji Kotani is concurrently pres of the parent.  It also handles high-quality art objects.  The parent company is agent importer of “Sector” brand watches from Italy.  The parent’s Tokyo Branch Office is located at the same address.  Goods are supplied to the parent centrally.  

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Aug/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,100 million, a similar amount in the term.  Consumer spending was slow to recover, particularly for luxurious goods.  The net profit remained similar at Yen 1 million.

 

For the current term ending Aug 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,150 million.  Consumer spending is seen recovering.  Hike in material prices will raise sales amount in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and should be good for ORDINATY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 20.1 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount for 90 days terms is considered well within the firm’s financial capacities.
