The SC is governed by the Companies Act, 1965 and must file in its annual return, together with its financial statements with the Registrar of Companies. In Malaysia, all the companies seeking listing on the Bursa Malaysia (Malaysia Stock Exchange) must be public limited companies.

Other Investigations

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Erratic               [           2004-2006         ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Decreased         [           2004-2006         ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Unfavourable      [           3.14%   ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Unfavourable      [           4.98%   ]

 

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The SC's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds and net assets could indicate that the SC's management was inefficient in utilizing its assets to generate returns.

 

Working Capital Control :

Stocks Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           166 Days          ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           111 Days          ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           43 Days            ]

 

The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. The SC's debtors ratio was high. The SC should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. 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         [           1.20 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.96 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        [           3.51 Times        ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.10 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 was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The SC was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the SC being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

 

Overall Assessment :

The SC recorded lower profits as its turnover showed a erratic trend. The SC's management was unable to control its costs efficiently as its profit showed a downward trend. 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, as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

 

Overall financial condition of the SC: LIMITED

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Established in 1975, the SC is principally engaged in the design, manufacturing and installation of electronics and microprocessor controlled products. The SC was listed in the Bursa Malaysia in 1994 and this has enabled the SC to have direct access to the capital market for funds required for its future expansion and continued growth. Its long presence in the market should have enabled the SC to gain a certain market share and established rapports with its client. With RM45.5 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.  

           

In order to further grow the business, the SC has broaden its reach and penetrated into the global market. The SC's revenue is derived from overseas markets such as Middle East and ASIA. The wider range of its market segments has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings and minimized its business risk. At present the workforce of the SC is 150 and the management of the SC is overseen by Managing Director, Lim Jot Chow. Overall the management capability of the SC is average.

           

During the financial year 2006, its turnover  dropped slightly from RM112.8 million to RM80.3 million whilst its  pre-tax profit has dropped by 46.79% to RM2.4 million against RM4.6 million previously. Return on shareholders' funds of the group is relatively low, indicating that the group did not generate an acceptable amount of profits based on its existing shareholders' funds. However the group posted good cash flow management which has enabled the group to meet its short term obligations as and when they fall due. Moreover being a lowly geared ratio has minimized the financial risk of the group. Given a healthy net worth standing at RM59.6 million we believe that the group should be able to maintain its business in the near terms. 

           

Investigation revealed that the SC sources its raw materials from both local and overseas countries. As a result, the SC is exposed to foreign currency fluctuation risk.        

           

Based on our historical financial data, the SC's payment is average. The SC should be able to meet its small and medium commitments. Some caution needed for big transactions.

           

The industry remains robust with continuing strong global demand for its products. With this promising outlook of industry, the SC should be able to further enhance its business. As the electrical and electronic (EE) industry is the Malaysia's leading industrial sector, we believed that the SC has a better opportunities to enhance its business position in tandem with the industry's positive growth. 

                                   

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