COMMENT    

 

TRADING FIRM, WHOLLY OWNED BY KROSAKI HARIMA CORP.

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY

BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 155.9 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.  .

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established on the basis of a trading division separated from Krosaki Refractories Corp (now Krosaki Harima Corp), mfr of firebricks, at the caption address (See REGISTRATION).  This is a trading firm specializing in import, export and wholesale of            refractory materials (partially manufactured), fuel oils, packaging materials & equipment, other.  In 2003, merged with two sister firms of the similar business line and renamed as captioned.  Operates gas stations, garages with repair facilities, too.  Also acts as non-life insurance broker. 75% of the products are shipped to the parent, Krosaki Harima Corp.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 8,117 million, an 8% up from Yen 7,550 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the robust demand for work-use refractories at the parent, reporting about 4% increase from the previous term.  Rising oil prices/other materials also contributed.  The recurring profit was posted at yen 132 million and the net profit at Yen 52 million, respectively, compared with Yen 158 million recurring profit and Yen 92 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.  Profits tend to deteriorate due to rising costs of materials and fuel oils, as adversely affected & hurt profitability.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 135 million and the net profit at Yen 53 million, respectively, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 8,300 million.  Exports will grow on back of robust demand overseas. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 155.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.
