FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

The financial summary of the SC in Year 2005 showed that it was financially FAIR. The SC has generated a favourable return on its shareholders' funds, indicating that the SC was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate favourable returns. Besides this, it also has an adequate liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by its current assets. With its current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. However, the SC has high liabilities ratio and it may face financial difficulties if no additional capital is injected.

Overall financial condition of the SC: FAIR

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 2004, the SC is a new entrant company involved in import, export and trading of stainless steel. The SC's position in the industry is not stable as it has yet to build up a good reputation among its suppliers and clientele. From our investigation revealed that the SC is only dealing with the overseas markets. The SC exports all of its products to countries like Singapore and Asia Pacific Region. Being an export oriented company, the SC is exposed to high foreign currency fluctuation risk. The SC's business operation is overseen by Director Ramos Flores Benjamin and currently it has 7 staff in its operation. We noted that the SC is clear of litigation and it has a total paid up capital of RM24,000,000.

 

During the financial year 2005, the SC's turnover and pre-tax profit stood at RM334,658,359 and RM14,793,294 respectively. Based on the higher profitability, the SC has generated a relatively high return for its shareholders. Besides that, the SC's liquidity position is at an acceptable range and it does not face any problems in meeting its short term financial obligations. Nevertheless, the SC had a high liabilities ratio which has placed the SC at a high financial risk. Overall, the SC's financial standing is Fair.

 

In the view of the above, we recommend that credit be granted to the SC with monitoring.
