FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Decreased

[

34.98%

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

<30.83%>

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

<50.83%>

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

<6.52%>

]


The shrinking turnover could be the result of more entrants into the market which eroded the SC's market share. Higher losses before tax during the year could be due to the higher operating costs incurred. The SC's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets to generate returns

.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

167 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Acceptable

[

59 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

86 Days

]


The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. The SC's management was quite efficient in handling its debtors. The SC's debtors days were at an acceptable range, thus the risk of its debts turning bad was minimised. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the SC taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the SC and its suppliers and the SC may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

Liquidity:

Liquid Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.16 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.39 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

[

<1.08 Times>

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

3.25 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 highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The SC was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the SC will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the SC has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the SC's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

Overall Accessment:

The SC's losses could be attributed to the lower turnover which in turn could be the result of unfavourable market conditions. 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's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

INDUSTRY :

PLASTIC


The Malaysian plastic products industry is one of the most established industries within the country's manufacturing sector. The industry has developed into a highly diversified sector, encompassing an extensive range of plastic products such as components for the telecommunications industry, construction materials, household goods, acrylic sheets, bags, bathroom accessories, bottles, containers, toys games and packing materials.


Malaysia's plastic manufacturing industry is expected to grow up to 12% in 2009, as new capacity come on-stream. The Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA) said the domestic industry is on track to meet its projected growth between 5% and 8% in 2008, after expanding 8.3% in the first six months in 2008. Resin prices are expected to ease over 2009 and 2010 as new supplies come on-stream from the Middle East. The price of resin which make up as much as 80% of a maker's operating costs have fallen over 15% from the record in July 2008.


The plastic industry recorded sales of RM7.96billion in the first half of the year 2008 (January - June 2007: RM7.35 billion). Output of plastic products grew significantly by 6.5% (January - June 2007: -4.3%) led by higher demand from the transport equipment industries. This was shown by the strong growth in the components, such as blow moulded plastics (16.6%) and extruded plastic products (14.5%). In addition, the strong recovery in output of computers and computer peripherals also supported the demand for plastic products. Exports of chemicals and plastic products grew 14.9% (January - June 2007: 22.1%), mainly due to rising demand for organic chemicals, essential oils and non-primary form plastics.


In 2008, the government has developed the first and only specialized industrial park, The Kertih Plastic Park in the country which focusing on the plastic industry. According to MPMA, the park is developed under the East Coast Economic Region (ECER) and it is well positioned to attract more investments. Development for the park means that both the federal and state governments are aware of the importance of the plastic industry to the country's economy and are seriously looking into developing further the plastic industry.


The plastic manufacturers could leverage on the existing Eastern Corridor incentives to enhance their competitiveness. The MPMA stated that if the park could be developed into an attractive location for investment, it would boost the plastic industry in the region and the petrochemicals industry would stand to benefit from it due to higher demand for resins. Meanwhile, industry experts said the setting up of plastics park will further value-add and extend the oil, gas and petrochemical value chain, via downstream manufacturing of plastic products and integration with related plants and services within the existing Petronas Petroleum Industry Complex.


Investors in the park will be able to reap economies of scale and direct cost savings through tapping into operational and infrastructural synergies at site and obtaining "just-in-time" raw materials supply. Besides, the park development will also be supported by world-class research and development (R&D) input from the Petronas Polymer Technology Centre. The centre aims to spur the growth and global competitiveness of the plastic industry in the Kertih Plastic Park by carrying out R&D for plastic application, joint venture projects with manufacturers and end users, and offering technical services including products testing, technology development and training.


Overall, the industry's outlook for 2009 is still bright. However, the industry is still clouded by the current financial turmoil in major economies including the US, Europe, Japan and Australia which will affect demand for plastic.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

COMMENTS

 


Incorporated in 1999 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged as a manufacturer of pipes and related products. Throughout its years of establishment, the SC has slowly been building up contacts with its clients and competing in the industry. With RM18 million in issued and paid up capital, the SC has the potential of capturing a higher market shares as it is competing aggressively in the market.


About 50% of the SC's products are exported to countries like Singapore and Philippines while another 50% absorbed by the local market. Such a wide geographical spread has well diversified its business risk should there be a slowdown in the local economy. Thereby it will increase its ability to compete in the market. Assisted by 34 manpower, the SC does not have a strong management team. Its unfavourable return on shareholders' funds implied that the SC's management capability is weak.


In 2006, the SC posted a poor financial performance. The decreasing in its turnover from RM2.88 million to RM1.87 million has widen its pre-tax losses to RM2.89 million. Due to these losses, the SC has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. Besides, the SC possesses a weak liquidity position and we believe that the SC may face some difficulties in meeting its short term financial obligations. Moreover, the SC has a high gearing ratio of 3.25 times which has placed the SC at high financial risk.


Investigation revealed that the SC's raw materials are sourced from both local and overseas suppliers. Hence, the SC is subjected to currency fluctuation risk and high operating costs.


Based on the historical financial data, we concluded that the SC's payment habit is fair. The unfavourable creditors' ratio clearly implied a weak credit control.


The plastic industry continues to be attractive with encouraging global and domestic demand. Hence, we believe there will be more business opportunities available for the SC. Nonetheless, the SC will still faces moderate business risk as it has to compete with many well established players in the same field.


Due to its poor financial performance, we only recommend a small amount of credit be proceeded to the SC with guarantee.
