Other Investigations

We conducted an interview with the SC's Owner, Mr. Sundararaman. He    revealed some relevant information on the SC.

 

 

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

We are unable to comment on the SC financial position as the SC is not required by the law to file its financial statement in the Registrar of Business.   

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Formed in 1965 as a partnership, the SC is principally engaged in trading of textiles. Having been in the market for over three decades, the SC should have established its own image and reputation over times.

           

Due to its long established, the SC should have built up a wide and stable clientele base in the market. The SC's major concentration is on the domestic market. Such narrow market segment limits the business expansion opportunities of the SC. However, with its vast business experience in the industry, the SC's exposure to business risk has well diversified. Currently, the business activities of the SC are overseen by the owner, Sundararaman supported by 4 employees in its operations. The SC's overall management capability can be considered average.

           

As the SC is registered as a partnership, its financial statements are not available for analysis. As such, we are unable to ascertain the SC's financial strength. The SC's ability to meet obligations is very much dependent on the partner's financial strength.

           

The SC's suppliers are obtained from local and overseas suppliers. Thus, it eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and shortage of its supplies.

           

The SC is clear of any litigation.

           

The industry demonstrates a downward trend in the near term. The immediate outlook of the industry is unfavourable and it might impair the business performance of the SC.  As the market competition is tight, the SC should adopt more competitive strategies in order to retain its market position and compete with other players in the same field.

           

In view of the above, we only recommend credit be granted to the SC under reliable guarantee.
