FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 498.4 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established on the basis of a chemicals division separated from Mitsui & Co Ltd (See REGISTRATION), as Mitsui Bussan Solvent & Coating Co Ltd.  In Apr 2009, merged with Bussan Chemicals Co Ltd and renamed as captioned.  This is a trading firm for import, export and wholesale of industrial chemicals (See OPERATION).  Goods are imported and exported worldwide.  Clients include major chemical mfrs, wholesalers, other, nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 103,573 million, a 42% up from Yen 72,781 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to the said merger of a sister company.  Chemical intermediate products such as phenol showed stable performance due to increases in both price & sales volume mainly in China.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 403 million and the net profit at Yen 42 million, compared with Yen 522 million recurring profit and Yen 7 million net losses, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2011 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 700 million and the net profit at Yen 420 million, respectively, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 108,000 million.  The parent, Mitsui & Co Ltd, reported a 6.2% hike in sales turnover.  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 498.4 million, on 30 days normal terms.
