COMMENT         

 

MFR SPECIALIZING IN CHILDREN’S WEAR, WHOLLY OWNED BY TOMY CO LTD. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 86.9 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established on the basis of a children’s wear & goods division separated from Tomy Co Ltd, leading toy mfrs, Tokyo (See REGISTRATION).  Specializes in mg (on consignment) children’s wear & goods.  Goods are manufactured at subcontract mfrs in China, Korea, other.  Clients are major department stores.  Operates 58 retail stores nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,257 million, a 7% down from Yen 3,501 million in the previous term.  Hike in materials and operation costs hurt the sales.  Operations plunged into the red to post Yen 203 million recurring loss and Yen 402 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 26 million recurring loss and Yen 124 million net profits, respectively, a year ago..

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the operations are expected to come back to profitability but still limited to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 5% fall in turnover, to Yen 3,100.  Business is stagnant under the recent financial crisis world over, with consumer spending downturned and sluggish.  The parent, Tomy Co Ltd, revised its forecast down by 7% from the earlier estimates.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 86.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.
