HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Takashi Shibasaki as a marine transport company of logs from Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.  When Indonesia and Malaysia later stopped exports of logs due to the ecological reasons (forest conservation), the firm was transferred to the present executives. T Shibasaki then started his own company in Singapore for focusing on chemical transport business in the Asian region.  The subject firm is now engaged in transport of logs and timber from Sarawak.  This is a ship operator and operating manager of vessels chartered from ship owners.  One time, due to the shrink of business, chartered vessels were reduced.  But recently, when shipping market revived with transportation demand rose, driven by robust shipping demand centrally from China, the firm has started to increase the number of handling vessels.  Clients are general trading houses, paper mills, lumber firms, other, nationwide.  Reportedly, the firm lost one vessel due to marine accident.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Sept/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,658 million, edged up from Yen 2,628 million in the previous term.  Business continued steady.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 10 million and the net profit at Yen 4 million, respectively, compared with Yen 14 million recurring profit and Yen 14 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Hike of fuel oil prices ate into profits.

 

For the term ended Sept 2007 the net profit was reduced to a minimum amount post-taxes, on a 10% fall in turnover, to Yen 2,400 million.  This is referred to the loss of one vessel as aforementioned.  While the full financials are yet to be released, we have obtained these figures directly from the pres, M Gohara.  Otherwise, business is seen steadily growing.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 13.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
