HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Yoshihiro Minato in order to make most of his experience in the subject line of business.  Yoshiaki is his son.  This is a family-based trading firm specializing in import and wholesale of beans & pulse.  Goods are imported from China, USA, Myanmar, Thailand, Hungary, UK, Canada, other.  Clients include major bakeries, wholesalers, etc, nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed as is the case with family-based companies.

 

The sales volume for Jan/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,800 million, a 4% down from Yen 2,900 million in the previous term.  Global economic downturn affected the sales.  Consumer spending was sluggish.  High Yen hurt revenues & profits in Yen terms.  The net profit was posted at Yen 9 million, compared with Yen 10 million a year ago. 

 

For the term just ended Jan 2011 the net profit was projected at Yen 10 million, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 2,900 million.  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 50.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount is considered well within the firm’s financial capacities.
