FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Erratic               [           2004-2006         ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Increased          [           2004-2006         ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Favourable         [           129.62%           ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Favourable         [           180.62%           ]

 

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The SC's management have been efficient in controlling its operating costs. 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     :           Favourable         [           28 Days            ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Favourable         [           33 Days            ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           38 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       :           Unfavourable      [           0.58 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           0.87 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    :           Favourable         [           30.99 Times         ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.35 Times           ]

 

The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. 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 :

Although the turnover was erratic, the SC had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. 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. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. 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

 

Incorporated in 1990, the SC is principally engaged in manufacturing and distribution of photographic equipment and related products. Being a private limited company, the SC has a paid up capital of RM2.5million. Under the control of Naturecare Corporation, the SC is expected to enjoy timely assistance when the needs arise. With its long presence in the industry coupled with its vast business experience, the SC should have built up its own image and reputation over times.

           

Throughout its years of establishment, the SC's business has been growing steadily due to sheer determination and prudent management. Penetrating into overseas countries as such Asia countries has well diversified its business risk and allowed the SC to capture higher market shares. Currently, there are 55 employees in its business operations and the SC is headed by General Manager, Andy Teoh.

           

Compared to the previous year, the group's pre-tax profit has increased 4.26% to RM7.17million, given a turnover of RM33.77million. Return on shareholders' funds was high, indicating that the group was efficient in utilising its funds to generate returns. However, the group is in a weak liquidity position, which demonstrates that the group may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations. Fortunately, a low gearing ratio has placed the group at low financial risk.

 

The SC sources its raw materials from both local and overseas suppliers. Hence, the SC might be exposed to currency fluctuation risk.

           

Based on our historical financial data, the SC's overall payment habit is average. The SC is clear of any litigation.

           

The industry remains robust with the encouraging demand for its products. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the business potential of the SC should be favourable. Moreover, with the SC's strong background, the SC has better competitive edge against other players in the same fields.

           

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