COMMENT

 

IMPORTER AND WHOLESALER SPECIALIZING IN POLISHED DIAMONDS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED RATHER WEAK BUT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR MODERATE BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established by Nayan Shah, an Indian businessman, in order to make most of his over 10 years’ experience in the subject line of business.  A resident of Japan for nearly 20 years, speaking fluent Japanese, he had cultivated a wide business network in Japan, which prompted him to start his own company jointly with Noboru Koyama, says Nayan Shah.  This is a trading house specializing in import and wholesale of polished and pre-cut diamonds.  90% of the products are imported from India, other from Hong Kong, Thailand, Israel, Belgium, etc.  Has a branch office in Kofu City, Yamanashi-Pref, hub of Jewelry mfrs, processors and wholesalers.  Goods are shipped to jewelers, chain stores centering in greater-Tokyo region.  The stones are partially subcontracted mfg to domestic jewelry makers into jewelry products. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Dec/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,495 million, a 25% sharp rise from Yen 1,200 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the expansion of customer networks plus the hike in material jewelry prices.  The net profit was posted at Yen 15 million, compared with Yen 10 million a year ago.  Profitability deteriorated due to rising costs of operations and materials costs.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 15 million, on a 7% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,600 million.  Weaker Yen against foreign currencies may slide sales upward in Yen terms, while profits may deteriorate due to rising costs of imports & operations.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.
