Other Investigations

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

The financial summary of the SC in Year 2005 showed that it was financially FAIR. The SC has generated a favourable return on its shareholders' funds. Besides this, it also has an adequate liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by its current assets. With its current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. However the SC posted a high liability ratio indicating that the financial risk of the SC is high.

 

Overall financial condition of the SC: FAIR

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Established in 1990, as a private limited company the SC is principally engaged as a manufacturer of metal products. Having been in the market for over one decade should have enabled the SC to build up a certain goodwill with its client over times. With RM10 million in issued and paid up capital, the SC has the potential of capturing a higher market shares as it is competing aggressively in the market.        

                       

Our investigation revealed that the SC serves both local and overseas clients. Penetrating into the overseas countries such as Thailand has well diversified its business risk and at the same time added strength to its capabilities in capturing higher market shares. At present the workforce of the SC is 160 and the SC's business activities are overseen by its Managing Director, Low Guan Hong and its management capability is average.

           

During the financial year ended 31 December 2005, the SC reported pre-tax profit of RM13.33 million on the back of RM257.71 million in turnover. The SC has generated a favourable return on its shareholders' funds indicating that the SC was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate favourable returns. Besides this, it also has an adequate liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by its current assets. With its net current assets, the SC  should be able to repay its short term obligations. However the SC posted a high liability ratio indicating that the financial risk of the SC is high. Nonetheless the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near term, given a positive net worth standing at RM35.07 million.

           

Investigation revealed that the SC's supplies are sourced from both local and overseas suppliers.      Hence, the SC is subjected to currency fluctuation risk and high operating costs.

           

The SC is clear of litigation.

           

The industry remains robust with continuing strong global demand for its products. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the SC's business potential should be favourable. Nonetheless, the SC should adopt better competitive strategies in order to sustain its business position and to compete with other well established players in the same industry.        

 

In view of the above we recommend credit be granted to the SC normally.
