FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Increased          [           42.07%             ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Increased          [           220.11%           ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Favourable         [           52.41%             ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Favourable         [           30.21%             ]

 

The increase in turnover could be due to the SC adopting an aggressive marketing strategy. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. 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     :           Nil                    [           0 Days              ]          

Debtors Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           105 Days          ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Unfavourable      [           68 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         [           1.00 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.00 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        [           4.80 Times           ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.54 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 :

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. 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: FAIR

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Established in 1997, the SC is principally engaged in the design and supply of construction equipment for concrete bridges and management of engineering services. 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 clients over times.

 

In order to further grow the business, the SC has broaden its reach and penetrated into the global market. At present, the SC's revenue is derived from overseas markets such as ASIA and Europe. The wider range of its market segments has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings and minimised its business risk. The management of the SC is headed by Executive Director Low Chin Wah and assisted by 25 staffs. Overall the management capability of the SC is average.

           

During the financial year 2006 turnover of the SC grew by 42.06% to RM18 million in 2006. The SC recorded a pre-tax profit of RM597,825 for the year. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was high indicating that the SC was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate favourable returns. Good cash flow management has enabled the SC to meet its short term obligations. Beside this the SC also posted a low gearing ratio indicating that the SC faces low financial risk. The SC should be able to maintain its business in the near term, given a positive net worth standing at RM1.14 million.

           

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 habit is average. The SC should be able to meet its small and medium commitments.

           

The potential growth for the industry is marginal and it is quite competitive. It is much dependent on the SC's capacity in sustaining its performance in the market. As the SC has a long presence in the market, it should have acquired competitive edge against other players in the same fields.

           

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