Other Investigations

 

On 23rd January 2007, we conducted an interview with one of the staff from the SC's Admin Department. She furnished some information pertaining to the SC.

           

 

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

            Profitability :

            Turnover                                    :           Decreased         [           49.47% ]

            Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Decreased         [           54.35% ]

            Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Acceptable        [           15.66% ]

            Return on Net Assets                 :           Acceptable        [           26.68% ]

 

The shrinking turnover could be the result of more entrants into the market which eroded the SC's market share. The SC's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

 

            Working Capital Control :

            Stocks Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           126 Days          ]

            Debtors Ratio    :           Favourable         [           20 Days            ]

            Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           48 Days            ]

 

The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the SC. The SC had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days. The SC could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

 

            Liquidity :

            Liquid Ratio       :           Favourable         [           1.05 Times        ]

            Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.56 Times        ]

 

A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the SC in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the SC was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the SC is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

 

           


Solvency :

            Interest Cover    :           Acceptable        [           5.20 Times           ]

            Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.00 Times           ]

 

The SC's interest cover was slightly low. If there is no sharp fall in its profit or sudden increase in the interest rates, we believe the SC is able to generate sufficient income to service its interest and repay the loans. The SC had no gearing and hence it had virtually no financial risk. The SC was financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated fund. During the economic downturn, the SC, having a zero gearing, will be able to compete better than those which are highly geared in the same industry.

 

Overall Assessment :

The SC's performance deteriorated over the years with lower turnover and profit.The SC was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations.The SC had an acceptable interest cover. If there is no sudden sharp increase in interest rate or fall in the SC's profit, we do believe the SC is able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its interest payment.The SC was a zero gearing company, it was solely dependant on its shareholders to provide funds to finance its business. The SC has good chance of getting loans, if the needs arises.

Overall financial condition of the SC: FAIR

 

 

BASIS COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 1997 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the manufacturing and trading of gold & jewellery. Backed by a well-established holding company with issued and paid up capital of RM500,000, the SC is expected to enjoy timely financial assistance should the needs arise.

 

Over the years, the SC has built up a good reputation and a stable clientele base. It designs and supplies most of the finished jewellery for the group's retail outlets marketed under PYT, Diamond & Platinum and Degem Diamond Collection brand, which caters for different market segments and demand. With a diversified customers' base, the SC's market risk is mitigated. Moreover, the SC's ability to penetrate into the global market has minimised its business risk. Currently, the SC has a workforce of 60 employees and its management capability is considered average.

 

During the financial year 2005, the SC's performance shows a reverse trend as both its turnover and pre-tax profit has decreased compared to previous year. Its turnover dropped significantly by 49.47% from RM92,268,528 to RM46,623,176 whilst its pre-tax profit saw a drop of 54.35% to RM4,318,854, in view of decline in margin as a result of a challenging and competitive business environment. However, the SC managed to generate an acceptable return of 15.66% for its shareholders' which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The SC's liquidity position was at an cceptable range and it should be able to meet its short term financial obligations. Being a zero eared company, the SC virtually has no financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to inance its business needs. Overall, the SC's financial standing is fair.

 

Investigation revealed that the SC's raw materials are sourced locally and from overseas countries.

Hence, it is subjected to the currency fluctuation risk which in turn may affect its profitability.

 

Based on the historical financial data, we concluded that the SC's payment record is average. The SC is

clear of litigation.

 

At present, the market trend was moving towards platinum and white gold jewellery and the demand are

on the rise, especially among youngster. This younger generation between 18 to 35 years of age had

already demonstrated a preference for jewellery of contemporary design set in platinum and white gold,

as opposed to yellow gold. Since over 90% of the SC's jewellery products are diamonds set in platinum

(Pt 950) or 18-karat white gold (750W), we believe that the encouraging demand for the SC's products

would present more business opportunities for the SC.

 

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

 

                                                                                                                                                                  


THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MALAYSIA ACCOUNTING STANDARD.
