FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    :           Increased          [           20.49% ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           :           Decreased         [           20.68% ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      :           Acceptable        [           23.52% ]

Return on Net Assets                 :           Acceptable        [           21.44% ]

 

The higher turnover could be attributed to the favourable market condition and the SC could be gaining the market share progressively. The dip in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced the SC's profit margin. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

 

Working Capital Control :

Stocks Ratio     :           Acceptable        [           61 Days            ]

Debtors Ratio    :           Unfavourable      [           82 Days            ]

Creditors Ratio   :           Favourable         [           46 Days            ]

 

The SC kept adequate stocks to meet its normal business transactions without incurring excessive storage costs. The high debtors' ratio could indicate that the SC was weak in its credit control. However, the SC could also giving longer credit periods to its customers in order to boost its sales or to capture / retain its market share. 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      [           0.64 Times        ]

Current Ratio     :           Unfavourable      [           1.04 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    :           Unfavourable      [           < 11.66 Times >            ]

Gearing Ratio    :           Favourable         [           0.09 Times                    ]

 

The SC incurred losses in the year. It did not generate sufficient income to service its interest.  If the situation does not improve, the SC may be vulnerable to default in servicing the interest. 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 SC's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the SC's profit margin. 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. The SC's interest cover was negative, indicating that it did not generate sufficient income to service its interest. If its result does not show impressive improvements or succeed obtaining short term financing or capital injection, it may not be able to service its interest and repay the loans. 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: LIMITED

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 1981, the SC is principally engaged in the manufacturing of plastic and paper products. Being a private limited company, its paid up capital stands at RM2,496,350 and the immediate holding company is Thong Guan Industries Bhd which is incorporated in Malaysia. Backed by its established company, the SC is expected to enjoy timely financial assistance when the needs arise. Throughout its years of establishment, the SC should have built up certain goodwill with its clients over times.

           

We noted that the SC concentrates on both local and overseas clients. The SC has expanded its business to other countries such as United States, Asia, Europe and etc. Thus, we believe that the SC's exposure to commercial risk is low. The SC is a large entity with a work force of 450. Its business operation is considered stable. Overall the management capability of the SC is average and its growth prospect remains bright.

           

In 2005, the SC reported pre-tax profit of RM15.95 million based on its turnover of RM301.08 million. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was high, indicating that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate return. However, the SC's liquidity ratio was slightly low at 0.64 times, which demonstrates that the SC was not be able to repay all its short term obligations. Being a lowly geared company, it places the SC at low financial risk. Given a healthy net worth of RM59.54million, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near term.

           

The SC's raw materials are from both local and overseas suppliers. Being involved in both import and export activities, the SC is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Its long presence in the market has enabled the SC to bargain with its suppliers for lower prices and higher quality products.

           

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

           

The plastic industry continues to be attractive with encouraging global and domestic demand for its products. With the promising outlook of the industry, the SC should be able to further enhance its business. Having strong support from its holding company, the SC has better competitive edge against other players in the same field.

           

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