FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established on the basis of a division separated from Unitika Ltd, major general textile mfr, Osaka (See REGISTRATION).  This is a trading firm for importing, exporting and wholesaling synthetic fiber yarns (nylon, polyester yarns), the products of the parent.  Also processes woven & knitted goods.  Goods are mostly for use in women’s garments, sports wear, other.  Acts as insurance broker, too.  Clients other than group firms include apparel mfrs, general trading houses, other, nationwide.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 15,025 million, an 8% drop from Yen 16,321 million in the previous term.  Textile prices declined.  Some extraordinary losses are reported, actual amount has not been disclosed.  The operations continued in the red for three consecutive years, to register Yen 713 million net losses for the term, the loss amount having been widened from Yen 204 million net losses a year ago.  The net worth is negative.  The accumulated losses at the term’s end are reported at Yen 947 million, to be carried over into the next term.  Financials are released in digested form.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the operations are projected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 15,500 million..

           

The financial situation is considered WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements on the strength of the parent’s financial capacities.  However, we recommend that any and all credits to be tied with the parent’s full guarantee.  Note the negative net worth.
