COMMENT    

 

TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS, WHOLLY OWNED BY KANEMATSU CORP. 

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 154.6 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a chemical division separated from Kanematsu Corp, trading house of Japan, Tokyo (see REGISTRATION), in order to import, export and wholesale of industrial chemicals.  Originally named as Kanematsu Kaseihin KK and renamed as captioned in Mar 2002.  The firm separated and transferred one division to a sister firm in 2005.  In 2009, merged this sister company.  Clients include major chemical mfrs, wholesalers, other, nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 17,612 million, a 4% up from Yen 16,994 million in the previous term.  The growth was driven by active demand in Asia and emerging countries, particularly in China.  On the other hand, the Great East Japan Earthquake that struck on March 11 2011 caused unprecedented damage to parts of Japan and produced tremendous adverse effects on economic activities nationwide, including severe disruption to supply chains.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 403 million and the net profit at Yen 229 million, respectively, compared with Yen 350 million recurring profit and Yen 233 million net profit, respectively, a year ago. 

 

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 410 million and the net profit at Yen 235 million, respectively, on a 5% rise in turnover, to Yen 18,500 million.  Exports continue robust into China and other S/E Asian countries.  Price hikes of some products will help increase sales.  High Yen may erode profits in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  The max credit limit is estimated at Yen 154.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.  Max credit limit of the parent, Kanematsu Corp, is estimated at Yen 9,141.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
