FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

The financial summary of the SC in Year 2006 showed that it was financially strong. The SC has striven to achieve a favourable turnover and profitability. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was high indicating that the SC was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate favourable returns. Besides that, the SC was in good liquidity position with its current  liabilities  well covered by its current assets. With its net current assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. A low liabilities ratio has minimised the SC's financial risk.

 

Overall financial condition of the SC: STRONG

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 1974, the SC is principally engaged in the manufacturing of vegetable oil including palm kernel oil and specialty fat. With its long presence in the industry coupled with its vast experiences in the business, the SC should have built up a certain goodwill with its client over times. Having a paid up capital of RM4 million, the SC is able to expand its business more comfortably. Overall, the SC's business position in the market is considered stable.

           

We were informed that the SC is focusing on its specialties fats, bulk refined oils for food industries. We noted that the SC offers a wide range of products including cocoa butter substitutes, cooking Oils, hydrogenated Fats and etc. About 95% of its products are exported to overseas countries such as Germany, India, Japan, Korea and others countries. The wider range of its market segments has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings and minimised its business risk. The SC is a large organization with 1,000 employees and overall its management capability is considered good.

           

During the financial year 2006, the SC has striven to achieve a high turnover and profitability of RM360.31 million and RM359.27 million respectively. The SC has generated a favourable return on shareholders' funds which indicated the management was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate returns. Besides that, the SC possesses a good liquidity position and we believe the SC will be able to meet all its short term obligations. Moreover, the SC is a lowly geared company which has minimised its financial risk. Overall the financial condition of the SC can be regarded as strong.

           

 Our investigation revealed that 70% of the SC's products are sourced locally whilst the remaining products are obtained from overseas market. As an export-oriented company and being involved in import activities, the SC is subjected to foreign currency exposure risk.

           

Based on our databank, the SC is clear of any litigation and its payment record is average. The SC's good reputation in the market has reduced the risk of shortage of raw materials when the needs arise.

           

The industry remains robust with continuing strong global demand for its products. The steady growth in the economy will further enhance the industry activities and we believe there will be more business activities available for the SC. With the SC's strong background, it should have a competitive edge against other players in the same field.

           

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