HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Masanao Hashimoto in order to make most of his experience in the shipping business.  This is an owner and operator specializing in refrigerated vessels.  The major hirer of the vessels is Kawasaki Near Sea Shipping KK, a subsidiary of Kawasaki Kisen KK (or K Lines), specializing in Japan Near Sea shipping trade.  Also charters out the vessels to fishery companies in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, other.  The owning side of the vessels, on long term charter, guarantees steady income.  Continues adding Newbuilding ships to secure steady income.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Oct/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,758 million, a 15% up from Yen 1,682 million in the previous term.  This was thanks to a Newbuilding vessel constructed and delivered during the term; also steep rise in shipping freight market with robust demand domestically & abroad.  China was one of the main players in the market, with demand steadily and constantly rising for ships & marine transportation.  The operations came back to profitability to post Yen 405 million net profit, up from Yen 96 million net losses a year ago.  The last term’s deficit is referred to heavy depreciation costs of ships that had to be written off for the term.

 

For the current term ending Oct 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 400 million, on a 2% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,800 million.  Shipping market is slowed from the previous robust activities.  Higher oil prices will eat into profits.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 48.9 million, on 30 days normal terms.
