COMMENT

 

MFR SPECIALIZING IN WOMEN’S CLOTHING, MEN’S SHOES, OTHER. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 27.6 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Atsuro Adachi in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  Hiroshi is his son.  Specializes in mfg women’s & children’s clothing, clothing accessories, men’s shoes, other.  Mfg is mostly subcontracted to factories in China, Hong Kong, Korea, other, and imported.  This business is being affected by seasonal fluctuations.  Clients are apparel mfrs, wholesalers and retailers.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Sept/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 831 million, a 21% down from Yen 1,055 million in the previous term.  This is referred to unseasonable heat & cold both in winter & summer.  The net profit was posted at Yen 55 million, compared with Yen 63 million a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Sept 2008 the net profit was projected at Yen 50 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 850 million.  Final results have not been released as yet.  Higher Yen should have assisted imports at lower prices.  Consumer confidence, however, remained depressed due to the recent financial crisis.  Unemployment & job cuts are now everyday event.  All the major automakers cut contract workers.  Homeless youngsters are said increasing with no immediate hope of finding jobs.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 27.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
