COMMENT

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, MACHINERY, OTHER. 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 880.1 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1905 by Sadajiro Shima, on his account, for wholesaling industrial chemicals & machinery.  Incorporated in 1921 the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  This is a trading firm for import, export and wholesale of industrials chemicals, pharmaceuticals, lubricating oils, plastics, machinery, other.  Operates 6 overseas subsidiaries for import/export business.  Imports/exports account for 46% of total sales.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Sept/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 42,648 million, a 1% down from Yen 43,204 million in the previous term.  Imports decreased for lubricating oils due to higher oil prices which could not be passed on to clients.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 797 million and the net profit at Yen 488 million, respectively, compared with Yen 787 million recurring profit and Yen 422 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Sept 2008 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 780 million and the net profit at Yen 480 million, respectively, on a slight rise in turnover, to Yen 43,000 million.  The final figures are yet to be produced, however, the firm says the figures have been achieved.  The business had not been much affected by the recent worldwide financial crisis, the firm says.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.            Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 880.1 million, on 30 days normal terms.
