COMMENT    

 

TRADING FIRM SPECIALIZING IN IRON/STEEL PRODUCTS, WHOLLY OWNED BY MITSUI & CO LTD. 

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 4,691.7 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a section separated from iron & steel division of Mitsui & Co Ltd (See REGISTRATION).  In Apr 2008 merged two sister firms, Mitsui Bussan Raw Materials Development Corporation and Mitsui Bussan Metals Sales Co Ltd and expanded business into non-ferrous and steel raw materials.  This is a trading firm specializing in import, export and wholesale of: steel scraps, ferro-alloys, raw materials for iron making, nonferrous metal products, iron ore, coking coal, other (See OPERATION).  Clients include steel mills, metals industries, other, nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are consolidated by the parent, Mitsui & Co Ltd, and disclosed only in digested forms.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 227,343 million, a 52% down from Yen 470,978 million in the previous term, as substantially affected by the global economic downturn.  Demand from steel mills declined substantially.  Exports were hurt by the strong yen.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 2,542 million and the net profit at yen 1,362 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,195 million recurring profit and Yen 742 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  .

 

For the term that just ended Mar 2011 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 2,700 million and the net profit at Yen 1,500 million, respectively, on a 10% rise in turnover, to Yen 250,000 million.  Metal resources, including iron ore, drove recovery of business results on the strength of high market prices.  Sales in Asia grew.  Final results are yet to be released. 

           

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 4,691.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
