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, 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 current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. Although the SC's liability ratio is high, it is mainly due to high current liabilities rather than long term debt. However, the high current liabilities are well covered by its large current assets, indicating that the SC does not face any shortage in short term working capital.

 

Overall financial condition of the SC: FAIR

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Formed in 1990 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the provision of civil engineering construction. With issued and paid up capital of RM1 million, the SC is backed by Mivan Ltd from UK.

           

Having been in the industry for over a decade, the SC should have received strong support from its regular customers. Being a moderate size company, the SC's interest lies mostly in the domestic       market. With full concentration in the local market, it is likely to be influenced by the local economic situation. At present, the SC's management is led by its Managing Director, James Martiin Laughlin supported by 30 employees.

           

During the financial year 2005, the SC's turnover and pre-tax profit stood at RM88,512,674 and RM7,678,659 respectively. Based on the higher profitability, the SC has generated a favourable return on shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. Besides, the SC is in good liquidity position as it has sufficient working capital to meet its short term financial obligations. Although the SC's liability ratio is high, it is mainly due to high current liabilities rather than long term debts. Overall, the SC's financial standing is fair. Given a healthy net worth standing at RM17,034,721, the SC should be able to further enhance its business.

           

We noted that the SC's products are sourced locally and imported from overseas countries. Thus, it eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials. Moreover, its long presence in the market has enabled the SC to built up an extensive supplier base. As such, it may not have problems in getting its raw materials.

 

The SC is clear of litigation.

 

The industry has reached its maturity stage and only enjoying marginal growth. As the market is saturated and competitive, the SC should improve its management capability and explore more new market segments in order to have a stable standing in the industry.

 

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