HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by a certain Inoue originally in 1902 as a paint merchant, on his account.  Incorporated in 1947 the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  Until 2005 the firm was 20% owned by Tohpe Corp, mid-size paint mfr belonging to Furukawa group, but now became wholly owned by the Inoue family.  Business tie-ups with Tohpe Corp still continue.  This is a wholesale of a wide range of paints & coatings for various industries (see OPERATION), with strength for ship’s underwater paintings, as seen from its clients.  Executes painting works, too.  With a history over a century in the business the firm is known by its solid and sound management and operations in the industry.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMAION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,975 million, an 11% down in the previous term.  The operations plunged into the red to post Yen 49 million recurring loss and Yen11% net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 6 million recurring profit and Yen 2 million, respectively, a year ago.  The profit deterioration is referred to the rising costs of operations and material prices, some of which have not been passed on to clients.

 

For the term ended Mar 2009 the operations are projected to come back to profitability to post Yen 1 million net profit, on a 1% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,000 million

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 9.3 million, on normal 30 days terms.
