FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Increased          [           59.07%             ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Increased          [           198.39%           ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Favourable         [           39.02%             ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Favourable         [           53.17%             ]

 

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     :           Favourable         [           30 Days            ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Favourable         [           22 Days            ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           1 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       :           Acceptable        [           0.94 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.46 Times        ]

 

The SC's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the SC's working capital was slightly deficient. The SC will have to improve its liquidity position either by obtaining short term financing or increase its paid up capital so that it can meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

 

Solvency :

Interest Cover    :           Favourable         [           12.64 Times         ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.09 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 :

Generally, the SC's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. The SC's liquidity was at an acceptable range. If the SC is able to obtain further short term financing, it should be able to meet all its short term obligations. 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: STABLE

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Formed in 1969, the SC is primarily involved in the processing, trading of rubber and latex under the brand name of "THR". The SC is a private limited company with total paid up capital of RM5million. With its long track record in the industry coupled with its vast experience, the SC should have established 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. The SC has built up a diversified clientele base in both local and overseas countries. Currently, foreign market remains its biggest market, contributing 80% to its revenue with the balance coming from the local market. In view of its wider market segment, the SC is unlikely to be affected by the uncertainty in the local economy. Hence, better growth prospect can be expected. At present, the SC is overseen by managing director, Low Kok Horng and the SC's overall management capability is regarded good.

           

Compared to the previous years, the group's turnover has increased 59.07% to RM620.58million, which led to greater pre-tax profit of RM34.97million. Return on shareholders' funds was high, indicating that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate returns. However, the group's liquidity ratio was slightly low at 0.94 times, which demonstrates that the group was not be able to repay all its short term obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the group faces low financial risk. Given a huge net worth of RM70.66million, the group should be able to maintain its business in the near term.

           

The SC's resources are from both local and overseas suppliers. Due to its long establishment, we believe that the SC has built up a stable supplier base. Thus, it does not face significant problem in getting its resources.

           

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

 

The industry remains robust and its upward trend is likely to sustain in the near term. We believe that the encouraging global and domestic demand for the SC's products would present more business opportunities for the SC.

           

In view of the above positive circumstances, we recommend credit be proceeded to the SC with favourable terms.
