COMMENT

 

TRADING HOUSE SPECIALIZING IN PAPER & PULP.

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: US$100,000 / O/A 90 DAYS.

                       

MAX CREDIT LIMIT: YEN 5,962.0 MILLION, 30 DAYS NORMAL TERMS

 

 

                        Note: Forecast for the 31/03/2011 fiscal term.

                       

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was born by the merger of Okura Miyuki Co Ltd, as the surviving body, and Okamoto Co Ltd (including its 3 subsidiaries) in Oct 2005.  The merger effected to push the subject to No.2 in the paper trading industry.  Excels in printing paper, plastic films and board paper.  Core sales agent for Nippon Paper Ind, one of two largest paper mfrs in rivalry with Oji Paper.  Clients include printing houses, publishing firms, etc. 

 

The firm’s Sendai Office was damaged by the recent North East Japan Earthquake but not to the total loss.  Inventories were scattered and it is presently difficult to make regular shipment of commodities.  The secondary effect of the earthquake is being most concerned as there are frequent after-quake trembles in the area.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 325,045 million, a 9.6% down from Yen 359,580 million in the previous term, as affected by the global economic downturn particularly in the first half of the term.  It recovered in the second half but the loss in the first half was not sufficiently recovered.  In the printing industry demand for printing paper declined substantially due to the corporate cost-saving efforts for PR and printing operations.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 3,855 million and the net profit at Yen 2,487 million, respectively, compared with Yen 4,011 million recurring profit and Yen 1,866 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2011 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 3,800 million and the net profit at Yen 2,400 million, respectively, on an almost similar turnover, at Yen 325,000 million.  The figures were projected well before the said Earthquake and taking into damage/loss by the earthquake will have to be accounted for.  The firm does not revise the outlook figures.  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 5,962.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.  The proposed amount for 90 days terms is considered well within the firm’s financial capacities.
