HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1955 by father of Masanori Shibuta, on his account.  Incorporated in 1978, the firm has been succeeded by Masanori Shibuta.  This is a harbor tugboat operator, one of the top operators in Hokkaido.  Operations are extended into nationwide areas, Vietnam, China, Sakhalin, etc.  Clients include major construction companies nationwide.  Tokyo office covers the nationwide areas, from Hokkaido down to Kyushu. Operates a total 25 tugboats and small vessels.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 752 million, a 24% down from Yen 993 million in the previous term.  This is referred to scrapping of a large size tugboat, which was the main profit earner.  The hike in fuel oils is one of the reasons.  The net profit was posted at 2 million, sharply down from Yen 21 million a year ago.  This is referred to the said hike in fuel oils.

 

For the term ended Mar 2008 the net profit was projected at Yen 5 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 780 million. 

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 3.8 million, on 30 days normal terms.
