HIGHLIGHTS

 

This is a long-established “Nishijin” (brand-name of kimono textiles) fabrics mfr founded as kimono store in1843 in Edo period.  Excels in high-quality products, such as traditional Japanese “obi” and art fabrics.  Top-ranked maker of “obi”.  Merged with Selkon Co, mfr of interiors for automobiles, trains and air planes, and advanced into this area.  The company plans to reinforce sales of own-brand environment-friendly curtains.  The kimono sales subsidiary will pull out from unprofitable stores, including in department stores.  In July 2010, transferred part of interior products for vehicles, such as autos, trains and airplanes, to a subsidiary equity-method firm, TB Kawashima KK, jointly founded with Toyota Tsusho Corp and Toyota Boshoku Corp. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 40,841 million, a 27.5% down from Yen 56,336 million in the previous term.  This is largely referred to the said transfer of vehicle interior operations to another firm and excluded from the consolidated sales.  The operations continued in the red to register Yen 149 million recurring loss and Yen 1,372 million net losses, respectively, compared with Yen 1,307 million recurring loss and Yen 1,454 million net losses, respectively, a year ago. . 

           

For the current term ending Mar 2012 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 100 million and the net profit at Yen 100 million, on a 16.0% fall in turnover, to Yen 34,300 million.  Drop curtains will fare well.  New interior products launched in Oct 2010 will fully contribute.  Operating profits should rise.  Equity-method profit & loss will improve. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 709.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
