COMMENT

 

IMPORTER OF TOILETRIES, COSMETICS, WHOLLY OWNED BY GELETTE GROUP HOLDINGS BV, EUROPE (GROUP OF PROCTER & GAMBLE CO, USA). FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT

 

UNABLE TO BE ASSESSED DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF FINANCIALS.  CREDIT LIMIT OF P&G KK IS ESTIMATED AT: 1,251.0 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

FOR THE SUBJECT FIRM, WE RECOMMEND SECURED TERMS ON NEW  TRANSACTIONS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF NON-AVAILABILITY OF FINANCIALS.

The subject company was established as a trading house by Procter & Gamble Co, USA.  This is a trading firm with mfg division for import and wholesale of toiletries, cosmetics, other, the products of       US parent. Mfg is wholly done by P&G KK (Financials are attached, See REGISTRATION). The group consists of 6 firms: Procter & Gamble Japan KK; P&G Max Factor JV; P&G Northeast Asia Pte Ltd; P&G KK; Wella Japan KK; Iams Japan KK.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are not disclosed.  See financials of P&G KK as attached.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements. Max credit limit cannot be assessed due to the absence of financials.  The proposed amount, therefore,             is not to be determined.  It may be somewhat awkward for the globally well-established firm, but we recommend secured terms on new transactions simply because of the non-availability of the financials.
