COMMENT

 

CONTAINER SHIP OWNER & OPERATOR, WHOLLY OWNED BY NIPPON YUSEN KAISHA LTD (NYK LINE).

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 1,673.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.  

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established as a ship owner and operator trading mainly in Asian region.  In Aug 2002, went under the control of Nippon Yusen Kaisha Ltd (see REGISTRATION) and become its wholly owned subsidiary.  At the same time delisted from Tokyo S/E.  This is an owner and operator of container ships (a total of 21 ships) trading within Asia, extending from Sakhalin in the north to Indonesia in the south and to the Middle East in the west.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 78,452 million, a slight drop from Yen 78,495 in the previous term.  The operations plunged into the red to register Yen 1,662 million recurring loss and Yen 2,074 million net loss, respectively, compared with Yen 103 million net loss a year ago.  The steep hike in fuel oils was a hard blow to eat into profits.  The freight rates hikes could not catch up with the fuel oil cost surge.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 100 million, on a similar turnover, at Yen 78,500.  Freight Conference’s freight rates revision upward will lead to profitability. 

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 1,673.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
