Other Investigations

On 22nd May 2007, we conducted an interview with Mr Rajandaran the SC's Managing Director. He revealed some information pertaining to the SC.

 

 

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Increased          [           361.86%           ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Increased          [           < 136.39% >     ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Unfavourable      [           < 62.36% >       ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Unfavourable      [           < 17.22% >       ]

 

The increase in turnover could be due to the SC adopting an aggressive marketing strategy. Higher losses before tax during the year could be due to the higher operating costs incurred. The SC's             unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets          to generate returns.

 

Working Capital Control :

Stocks Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           205 Days          ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Favourable         [           21 Days            ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Unfavourable      [           87 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 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       :           Unfavourable      [           0.09 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           0.70 Times        ]

 

A low liquid ratio means that the SC may be facing working capital deficiency. If the SC cannot obtain additional financing or injection of fresh capital, it may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations.

 

Solvency :

Interest Cover    :           Unfavourable      [           < 4.12 Times >  ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           2.25 Times        ]

 

The SC incurred losses in the year. It did not generate sufficient income to service its interest.  If the situation does not improve, the SC may be vulnerable to default in servicing the interest. The SC was highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The SC was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the SC will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the SC has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the SC's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

 

Overall Assessment :

Although the SC's turnover increased its profits however showed a reverse trend. The losses could be due to the management's failure to maintain its competitiveness in the market. Due to its weak liquidity position, the SC will be faced with problems in meeting all its short term obligations if no short term loan is obtained or additional capital injected into the SC. The SC's interest cover was negative, indicating that it did not generate sufficient income to service its interest. If its result does not show impressive improvements or succeed obtaining short term financing or capital injection, it may not be able to service its interest and repay the loans. The SC's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

 

Overall financial condition of the SC: POOR

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Established in 1994, the SC is principally engaged in the manufacturer of industrial chemical. With 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 with the paid up capital standing at RM1 million.

           

Our investigation revealed that the SC solely concentrates on the overseas market. With the full concentration on the overseas market, the SC is unlikely to be affected by the uncertainties in the local economy and this has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings. However, being an international player, the SC is subjected to certain inherent risks of foreign currencies fluctuation and stiff competition from the international market. The SC can be considered as a small entity with the workforce of 10 and the management of the SC is overseen by Rajandaran Gopal.

           

Referring to the financial statements as at 31 Mar, 2005, the SC reported pre-tax losses of RM313,169 on the back of RM817,339 in turnover. Due to the losses, the SC has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was inefficient in  utilising its shareholders' funds to generate returns. Moreover, the SC is in weak liquidity position with its current liabilities well exceeding its current assets. Thus, it may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations if no short term loan is obtained or additional capital injected. The gearing ratio of the SC is also high indicating that the SC faces high financial risk.

           

Investigation revealed that the SC's supplies are sourced locally and from overseas countries. Thus, it is subjected to the currency fluctuation risk. 

           

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

           

This industry remains robust with continuing strong global demand for its products. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the SC's business potential should be favourable.  However, the SC is facing increasing competition from other companies. Hence, the SC should improve its management capability and explore more new market segments in order to have a stable standing in the industry.               

 

Despite showing a positive growth of the industry, we however regard that granting credit to the SC to be quite risky in view of poor financial standing. Hence, we do not recommend the credit to be proceeded to the SC.
