Other Investigations

 

On 14th June 2007, we conducted an interview with Ms Marry from the SC's Admin Department. She revealed some information pertaining to the SC.

 

 

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Decreased         [           63.71% ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Increased          [           39.58% ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Acceptable        [           23.50% ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Favourable         [           31.07% ]

 

The shrinking turnover could be the result of more entrants into the market which eroded the SC's market share. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

 

Working Capital Control :

Stocks Ratio     :           Nil                    [           0 Days              ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           165 Days          ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Unfavourable      [           175 Days          ]

 

As the SC is a service oriented company, the SC does not need to keep stocks. The SC's debtors ratio was high. The SC should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the SC taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the SC and its suppliers and the SC may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

 

Liquidity :

 

Liquid Ratio       :           Favourable         [           1.04 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.04 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    :           Nil                    [           0.00 Times           ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.00 Times           ]

 

The SC's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the year. 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 :

Due to the efficient control of its operating costs, the SC was able to remain profitable despite lower turnover achieved during the year. 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 did not make any interest payment during the year. The SC was dependent on its shareholders' funds to finance its business needs. 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: STABLE

 

 

COMMENTS

 

The SC started its corporation in 1998 as a Private Limited company. Basically, the SC is engaged in the trading in palm oil products and other related products as well. Due to its long presence in the business, the SC should have built up a satisfactory reputation in the market. Besides that, we found that the issued and paid up capital stands at RM100,000 and the shares are equally held by two shareholders.

           

Currently, the SC is overseen by the Managing Director, Elango Ramasamy supported by 5 employees in its business operation. Throughout its years of establishment, the SC has slowly been building up contacts with its clients and competing in the industry. Information revealed that the SC serves only the local market. With the full concentration in the domestic market, the SC is likely to be exposed to higher business risk if there is a downturn in the local economy. However, the SC has a moderate range of             products in its corporation. Thus, this will minimize its market risk should there be any unfavourable events.

           

The financial summary of the SC in Year 2005 showed that it was financially STABLE. Compared to the previous year, the SC's turnover has decreased about 60% to RM6million. However, the SC was still able to generate a higher pre-tax profit of RM63,339 in 2005. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC is relatively high, which demonstrated that the SC was efficient in utilising its shareholders' fund to generate favourable returns in 2005. Besides that, the SC was in good liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by its current assets. Thus, the SC will not face any problems in meeting all its short term obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the SC's financial risk can be minimised due to the low liabilities ratio. In 2005, the shareholders' funds increased to RM198,840.

           

The SC might be exposed to forex risk as some suppliers are from overseas. As the SC has been operating for about 10 years in the industry, it should be able to develop a stable supplier and clientele base. The SC might not face any problems of shortage raw materials in future as the suppliers are both local and from overseas .

           

Based on the historical financial data, the SC's overall payment habit is average.

           

The industry as a whole, the SC is expected to enjoy average growth in the future. The palm oil industry seems to be an important component of the national economy and especially the agricultural sector.   There are many competitors exist in the competitive market and perhaps that the SC should be able to gain certain market shares due to its reputation and long establishment.

           

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