HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Masahiro Koshiba in order to make most of his experience when he was with Deutsche Asset management & Edward Brogen and Principles of Japan Advisory Ltd, for the purpose of proving investment advice to overseas hedge funds.  Opened UMJ (Singapore) Pte Ltd in Mar 2005.  The subsidiary began role as investment manager to the Japan Alternative Investment Energy Fund.  In Mar 2006 acquired stock holdings of Japan advisory Ltd held by CEO Masahiro Koshiba.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar 2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 193 million, an 81% drastic down from Yen 1,000 million in the previous term (the Yen 1,000 million figure is only estimated as the firm did not disclose financials for the term.  The slowdown of domestic stock market weighed heavily, the firm the firm says.  The operations plunged into the red to post Yen 306 million net losses for the term.  The firm reported retained earnings as at the 31/03/2008 fiscal term at Yen 313 million, as against Yen 666 million for the 31/03/2007 fiscal term.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the operations are estimated to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 2% fall in turnover, to Yen 190 million.  The worldwide financial crisis will hurt. 

           

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for PROPER business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 10.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
