FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

 

Turnover                                    :           Increased          [           2003-2005         ]

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

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Unfavourable      [           4.62%               ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Acceptable        [           15.28%             ]

 

The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds and net assets could indicate that the SC's management was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

 

Working Capital Control :

 

Stocks Ratio     :           Favourable         [           29 Days            ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           82 Days            ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           42 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       :           Acceptable        [           0.91 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.19 Times        ]

 

The SC's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the SC's working capital was slightly deficient. The SC will have to improve its liquidity position either by obtaining short term financing or increase its paid up capital so that it can meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

 

Solvency :

Interest Cover    :           Unfavourable      [           1.83 Times        ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.30 Times        ]

 

The SC's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it  may not be able to meet all its interest payment. 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's liquidity was at an acceptable range. If the SC is able to obtain further short term financing, it should be able to meet all its short term obligations. If there is a fall in the SC's profit or any increase in interest rate, the SC may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. 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 1988, the SC is principally engaged in the designing, assembly and marketing of computer,  computer peripheral and accessories. Its long presence in the industry coupled with its vast experiences in the business, the SC should have built up a certain goodwill with its client over times. The SC is a private limited company and the paid up capital of the SC stands at RM3 million.

           

Apart from supplying its products to local market, the SC also exports to overseas markets. However, the SC is still vulnerable to the changes in the local market as 90% of the SC's incomes are generated from the local market. At present the workforce of the SC is 80 and the SC's business activities are overseen by its Managing Director, Cheng Heng Swee and its management capability is average.

           

During the financial year 2005, the SC's turnover increased from RM63,200,949 to RM64,788,783. Its pre-tax profit jumped by 212,42%to RM615,817 compared to RM197,112. The SC's liquidity position was at an acceptable range and it should be able to meet its short term obligations. Beside this the SC posted a low gearing ratio indicating that the SC faces low financial risk. However the SC posted low return on shareholders' funds  indicating that the SC did not generate an acceptable amount of profits based on its existing shareholders' funds. Nevertheless, given a healthy net worth exceeding RM8 million, the SC has the ability to further expand its business.

           

Investigation revealed that the SC's supplies are sourced locally and imported from overseas countries. Thus, it is subjected to currency fluctuation risk which in turn may impair its operating results.

           

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

           

The ICT industry in Malaysia is one of the sectors that is registering the fastest growth rate. In view of the long term potential of this dynamic market, we believe that the SC should be able to further enhance its business. However, the competition within the industry is intense. Hence, the SC should improve its management capability and increase its capacity as well as explore more new market segments in order to have a stable standing in the industry.

           

In view of the above and based on our assessment we recommend credit be granted to the SC with close monitoring.
