COMMENT    

 

TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN MEAT PRODUCTS, WHOLLY OWNED BY NIPPON MEAT PACKERS INC.

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 3,189.1 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a trading division separated from Nippon Meat Packers Inc, nation’s top-ranked meat processor, Osaka (See REGISTRATION).  This is a trading house specializing in meat, meat products, processed foods, etc for supply to the parent centrally, and other meat packers.  It also handles farm & marine products.  Import sources are Australia, USA, Canada, UK, Korea, and other S/E Asian countries, mostly imported through general trading houses.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION 

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 196,221 million, a 16% down from Yen 233,961 million in the previous term.  This is referred to the lower unit prices of raw materials in the first half, amid severe price competition.  In marine products, sales to volume retailers grew but sushi toppings and fillings had a poor year.  Sales to overseas markets declined due to rising market prices in Japan.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 1,648 million and the net profit at Yen 869 million, respectively, compared with Yen 1,098 million recurring profit and Yen 486 million net profits, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2011 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 1,700 million and the net profit at Yen 870 million, respectively, on a 3% rise in turnover, to Yen 202,000 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 3,189.1 million, on 30 days normal terms.
