FINANCIAL COMMENTS
Profitability :
Turnover : Increased [ 2004-2006 ]
Profit / ( Loss ) before tax : Increased [ 2004-2006 ]
Return on Shareholder Funds : Acceptable [ 18.83% ]
Return on Net Assets : Acceptable [ 14.89% ]
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 SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.
Working Capital Control :
Stocks Ratio : Favourable [ 33 Days ]
Debtors Ratio : Favourable [ 27 Days ]
Creditors Ratio : Favourable [ 2 Days ]
The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the SC. 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 [ 1.52 Times ]
Current Ratio : Favourable [ 2.10 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 [ 4.97 Times ]
Gearing Ratio : Favourable [ 0.00 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 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 :
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 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: STRONG
COMMENTS
Formed in 1997, the SC is principally engaged in processes and refines petrochemical products. Its end products are raw materials and ingredients for general purposes. With almost a decade of business experience, it should have enabled the SC to establish good reputation in the market. A paid up capital of RM1.01 billion has allowed the SC to expand its business comfortably when the needs arise. The SC is a subsidiary of BASF AKTIEGESELLSCHAFT which incorporated in Germany. Backed by its strong established holding company, the SC has competitive edge against other players.
Besides the local market, the SC has penetrated into the overseas markets such as Australia, China, India, Japan and others. The export business is the main revenue driver of the SC and thus its business risk exposure is considered low. As an export-oriented company, the SC's operations will be subjected to certain inherent risk of foreign currencies fluctuations and stiff competition in the international market. The SC is a large entity with a work force of 800. Its business operation is considered stable. Overall the management capability of the SC is average.
During the financial year 2006, the SC's turnover and pre-tax profit had increased significantly to RM2.49 billion and RM0.27 billion respectively. Due to its higher profitability, the SC has generated a favourable return on shareholders' funds which indicated that the SC was efficient in utilizing its funds to generate return. As its current assets (excluding inventories) exceed its current liabilities, the SC is able to meet all its short term obligations. Being a zero geared company, the SC virtually has no financial risk as it maintains its business using internal funds. The overall financial performance of the SC is strong.
Investigation revealed that 40% of the SC's products are sourced locally whilst the rest are obtained from overseas suppliers. Thus, it eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials or other necessary components.
Based on our historical financial data, we concluded that the SC's pattern of payment habit is good. This implies good credit control and the SC could be taking advantage of the cash discounts while maintaining a good reputation with its creditors. There are no legal suit against the SC.
The chemical products industry is expected to grow in tandem with the overall growth of other manufacturing industries. Besides that, the industry raises investment to improve efficiency and increase productivity to meet stronger demand. The SC should benefit from this favourable condition. With the SC's strong capital background, it should be able to gain a higher market share.
In view of the above, we recommend credit be granted to the SC promptly.
