After considering the high net worth recorded by RAMADBK over the past five
financial years , Two Senior Officers from Mitsui Sumitomo Bank visited RAMADBK
for the first round of talks about issuing bonds with SMBC.
They proposed that since RAMADBK is well established in the core business could
concentrate on diversification of business including listing in Tokyo Stock
Market and as the first step for that we could start with bonds. They suggested
that outstanding performances of the RAMADBK and the reputation will certainly
carry a weight when trading bonds and At the discussion the they were very
pleased and highly appraised the rapid improvement of the company.
