Overall financial condition of the SC: N/A

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 2000, the SC is principally engaged as a supplier of timber products. Being a private limited company with a small paid up capital of RM500,000, the SC may face difficulties in expanding its business when the needs arise. Throughout its years of establishment, the SC should have developed a satisfactory reputation in the market.

           

Being a small and young company, the SC has slowly been building up contacts with its customers in the market. Information revealed that the SC exports all its timber products to other countries such as Europe and Asia. Being an export oriented company, the SC is not affected by the changes in the local economy but it is vulnerable to the changes in the global economy. Hence, the business risk is moderate. As the SC is highly depending on the overseas market, it is subjected to the currency fluctuation risk. At present, the SC is headed by managing director, Bernard Wang supported by 3 employees in its business operation. Overall, its management capability is regarded average and more efforts are expected from the management in order to compete with its rivals.

           

The SC's latest available financial accounts with the Registrar of Companies are for the year 2003 only. We are of the opinion that the financial accounts are outdated and our comment on the SC's financial is restricted thereto.

           

Information revealed that the SC's supplies are sourced locally. Over the years, the SC should have established a stable supplier base in the market.

           

The SC is clear of any litigation.

           

The industry remains attractive with the encouraging global demand for its products. Nevertheless, the industry is quite competitive and the SC is required to implement aggressive competitive strategies in order to compete with other well established players in the same industry.

           

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