HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established on the basis of a trading section separated from JSR Corporation (then Japan Synthetic Rubber Corp), synthetic rubber mfr, at the caption address (See    REGISTRATION), in order to engage in non-life broking business.  In 1962 started cargo transport  business centrally for the parent’s cargo transport.  In 1966, started distribution of curelastometer; and from 1972 onwards gradually transformed into a trading firm, handling a wide range of industrial chemicals, synthetic rubber, fine chemicals, testing equipment, other (See OPERATION for details). In 1988, transferred the insurance business to a sister company, JSR Service KK.  In 1999, transferred film business from the parent.  In 2001, opened Shanghai Office (subsidiary).  In 2004, renamed as captioned.          Goods are mostly supplied from the parent.  Clients include tire mfrs, specialty mfrs, wholesalers, other.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2008 fiscal term amounted to Yen 47,506 million, a 17% up from Yen 40,770 million in the previous term.  Petrochemical price hikes, although partially passed on to clients, contributed.  Imports & exports expanded on back of stronger demand for synthetic rubbers from auto makers both at home & abroad.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 923 million and the net profit at Yen 40,770 million, respectively, compared with Yen 749 million recurring profit and Yen 447 million net profit, respectively, a year ago

 

For the current term ending Mar 2009 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 940 million and the net profit at Yen 560 million, respectively, on a 7% rise in turnover, to Yen 51,000 million.  Business is seen uprising.

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.            Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 706.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
