HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1917 by father of Koichi Sekiguchi as Sekiguchi Celluloid Kakosho, on his account, for mfg celluloid toys.  Incorporated in 2002, the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  Specializes in mfg stuffed animals, dolls, music box, other.  Mfg is all subcontracted to factories in China, Vietnam, Indonesia, other.  Major brand name is “Monchichi”.  Clients include major toy wholesalers, mfrs, other.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Feb/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,611 million, a 0.7% up from Yen 1,600 million in the previous term.  The operations, however, plunged into the red to post Yen 48 million net losses for the term.  This is referred to hike in material costs and appreciation of Yen against foreign currencies, the firm says.  This compares with Yen 12 million net profit a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Feb 2009 the operations are projected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 0.7% fall in turnover, to Yen 1,600.  Sales will be affected by the recent financial crisis with consumer spending steeply down & sluggish.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.       Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 55.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
