HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally as a textile specialized trader and later has grown into one of the leading general trading houses of Japan.  Traditionally strong in textiles, but financial structure deteriorated, resulting in trimming down of operations.  Following debt forgiveness by the main bank, the firm made a new start, focusing operations on 4 key sectors including food and IT-related areas under supervision of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ (MUFG).  Sold majority of less-profitable textile subsidiaries’ shares.  It-related continuing growth led by solutions, including mobile communications equipment.  Foods and steel products plant expanding.  Cultivation of non-gene modified soybeans with Canadian farmers expanding; studying cultivation in other countries.  Plant division is striving to win new orders for geothermal power generation in Asia.  Now concentrates on areas such as electronics, IT, foods, steel, environmental, and materials.  Business results are showing a steady improvement on a result of the restructuring.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2015 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,117,096 million, a 0.2% up from Yen 1,114,539 million in the previous term.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 22,895 million and the net profit at Yen 11,470 million, respectively, compared with Yen 20,160 million recurring profit and Yen 11,799 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2016 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 23,000 million and the net profit at Yen 12,500 million, respectively, on a 7.4% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,200,000 million.  Earnings will be contributed from the inclusion of Kanematsu NNK Corporation in the consolidated account and the electronics business will be boosted.  The vehicle and aircraft business will also continue growing.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 22,108.6 million, on 30 days normal terms.
