HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established on the basis of a chemical division separated from Mitsui & Co Ltd, Tokyo.  A trading house handling solvents, coatings, resins, adhesives, and other industrial chemicals.  In Jun 1999, merged a sister company, Mitsui Fuller Ltd, adding new products of adhesives.  30% of sales are imports & exports.  Stressing operations in China and other S/E Asian countries, utilizing the parent’s overseas offices & networks. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 70,713 million, a 21% up from Yen 58,249 million in the previous term.  This is thanks to steep rise in chemical materials costs, which boosted sales, both for imports & exports.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,047 million and the net profit at Yen 668 million, respectively, compared withy Yen 623 million net profit a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 700 million, on a 6% rise in turnover, to Yen 75,000 million.  Business continues rising.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 365.3 million, on 30 days normal terms.
