HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1932 by Takashi Nagashima for selling jewelry & accessories for women.  Later in 1980 when Takahiko Nagashima, the second pres, took the pres office, changed the mainstay line to importing and wholesaling picture/photo frames and interior decorative items.  In 2001, the firm was purchased by King      Jim Co Ltd, largest mfr of filing systems & electronic stationery, Tokyo (See REGISTRATION) and became its wholly owned subsidiary.  Goods are imported from Italy, China, Korea, Thailand, other. Clients include department stores, stationery stores, other, nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for May/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,113 million, a 15% up from Yen 966 million in the previous term.  Demand for photo frames increased with imports from China rose.  The net profit was posted at Yen 120 million, up from Yen 119 million a year ago. 

 

For the term just ended May 2008 the net profit was projected at Yen 120 million, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,150 million.
