FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Increased          [           2003-2005         ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Increased          [           2003-2005         ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Favourable         [           38.67%             ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Favourable         [           38.37%             ]

 

The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. The SC's management have been efficient in controlling its operating costs. Generally the SC was profitable. The favourable return on shareholders' funds and return on net assets indicate that the SC's management was efficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

 

Working Capital Control :

Stocks Ratio     :           Favourable         [           45 Days            ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           66 Days            ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           41 Days            ]

 

The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The high debtors' ratio could indicate that the SC was weak in its credit control. However, the SC could also giving longer credit periods to its customers in order to boost its sales or to capture / retain its market share. 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         [           1.07 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.55 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    :           Favourable         [           13.26 Times         ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.28 Times           ]

 

The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. 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 :

Generally, the SC's performance has improved with higher 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. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties.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: STABLE

           

 

COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 2001, the SC is principally engaged in the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The SC produces about 15 types of API including Bethasone Valerate, Mometasone Furoate, Bethasone Divropianate and etc. The SC has maintained  contacts with its clients and is competing with others players in the same industry. Presently, the SC's paid up capital stands at RM1million.

           

Besides the local market, the SC has penetrated into overseas markets such as India, China, Switzerland, Thailand, Korea, United State and Europe. The SC mainly sells its products to the dealers and pharmacies. We noted that one of its major customer is Pharmaniaga Bhd. It has 50 employees in its operation. Overall the management capability of the SC can be regarded as average.

    

During the financial year 2005, the SC recorded a turnover of RM20.9miilion which is increased from RM11.04million in year 2004.  At the same time, its pre-tax profit also increased to RM1.58million compared to RM1.40million in the previous year. Based on the high profitability, the SC has generated a favourable return on its shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its shareholder's funds to generate an acceptable income. Due to its good liquidity position, the SC does not face significant risk in meeting its short term financial obligations. The SC has low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. Overall, the SC's financial standing is stable.

           

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

           

Based on our historical financial data, the SC's pattern of payment is good. The SC is clear of litigation.

           

The industry shows an upward trend and the trend is very likely to sustain in the near future. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the business potential of the SC should be favourable.

           

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