MFR & PROCESSOR OF BARBECUED CHICKEN 

 

FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR CREDIT ENGAGEMENTS: CD$497,725.00

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

           

The subject company was established originally in 1967 by Katsuyoshi Akaishi, on his account, for selling barbecued chicken (Yakitori in Japanese), in Iwate-Pref.  Incorporated in 1972 the firm moved the Headquarters to the caption address.  Takahito is his son, who assumed the pres office in Mar 2009.  This is processor of barbecued chicken, chicken ball, cooked pork, sausages, other processed meat products.  Barbecued chicken is a well-eaten food in Japan, particularly in pubs & snacks, eating in & take-out.  Operates 6 factories in northern part of Japan.  Clients include major meat packers, wholesalers, other. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Feb 2011 fiscal term amounted to Yen 11,098 million, an almost similar amount in the previous term.  Consumer spending was sluggish.  Exports continued increasing.  High Yen hurt sales earnings & profits in Yen terms.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 257 million and the net profit at Yen 146 million, respectively, compared with Yen 205 million recurring profit and yen 103 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the term that ended Feb 2012 the recurring profit was projected at Yen 260 million and the net profit at Yen 150 million, respectively, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 11,500 million.  Final results are yet to be released.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
