HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1919 by Kanzaburo Shinohara for making printing machines, on his account.  Incorporated in 1944 as Shinohara Machinery Co Ltd and the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  This is a specialized mfr of offset printing press, their parts & components.  In 1975 the firm separated its trading division as an independent entity, Shinohara Shoji KK, for import and export of the offset printing press.  And in Oct 2010 the firm absorbed Shinohara Shoji KK and changed the name as captioned.  This was done in order to eliminate unprofitable operations of the firm (negative net worth of Yen (-) 743 million at Sept/2009 fiscal term).  However, on 11/01/2011 the firm bankrupted and applied to the court for protection under the Civil Rehabilitation Law.  The court accepted on the same day the company’s application for the process of rehabilitation under the Civil Law.  The liabilities are reported at Yen 7,857 million as of Mar/2010 fiscal term.  In Dec/2009 the firm had to move its factory, at a cost of Yen 2,500 million plus, as the factory site was designated as a redevelopment area by the Prefecture. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 2,261 million, a sharp 53% decline from Yen 4,846 million in the previous term.  The economic environment in Japan for the period rapidly deteriorated as the unprecedented global financial crisis intensified from the fall of 2008.  The printing industry & book publishers experienced a sharp decline in demand for printing/books.  Exports were substantially plummeted.  High Yen hurt export earnings & profits in Yen terms.  Moved the Factory to the captioned and during that time productions substantially declined.  The operations plunged into the red to register Yen 629 million recurring loss and Yen 517 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 14 million recurring profit and Yen 14 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.  Inventories piled up and the devaluation losses ate into profits.

 

For the term that ended Mar 2011 the sales were projected at Yen 2,600 million, up 15% from the previous term.  The firm applied for the application of Civil Rehabilitation Law on 11/01/2011 as aforesaid.  The ex-Factory site is owned by the firm but is under mortgage by main banks.  It is reported that Mitsubishi Estate Co Ltd is planning to build a large office/residence building in the area and that the value of the land will rise.   

 

The financial situation is FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 23.1 million, 30 days, recommending fixed terms on all transactions.
