FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

 

Turnover                                      : Erratic                        [ 2004 - 2006                 ]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax                : Increased                    [ 2004 - 2006                 ]

Return on Shareholder Funds        : Unfavourable               [ 6.89%                        ]

Return on Net Assets                   : Acceptable                 [ 26.30%                       ]


The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds and net assets could indicate that the SC's management was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

 

Stock Ratio                                 : Favourable                  [ 21 Days                      ]

Debtors Ratio                              : Favourable                  [ 48 Days                      ]

Creditors Ratio                             : Favourable                  [ 16 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                 [ 0.89 Times                  ]

Current Ratio                               : Unfavourable               [ 1.11 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                              : Unfavourable               [ 1.58 Times                  ]

Gearing Ratio                              : Favourable                  [ 0.36 Times                  ]


The SC's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it may not be able to meet all its interest payment. 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 Accessment:

 

Although the turnover was erratic, the SC had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. 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. If there is a fall in the SC's profit or any increase in interest rate, the SC may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. 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 : FAIR

MSIC CODE

51239 : Wholesale of other foodstuffs e.g mee,kueh teow, wantan skin and related products,cooking oil, tinned food, etc

                    

INDUSTRY :   FOOD & BEVERAGES


Food production is seen to expand further with the Government's policy to reduce the food import bill and promote self-sufficiency by 2010 through expansion of idle lands and mechanization of farming methods as well as promotion of good farming practices. Areas of activity that will boost this sector include aquaculture, deep-sea fishing, floriculture as well as herbs cultivation.


Output of the food products industry grew significantly by 12.7% (January-June 2006: 1.1%). This was driven by higher output in processing and preserving of fish and fish products, which grew by 27.1% in tandem with increased marine fish landings. In addition, the robust growth of food products was also supported by increased output of dairy (16.0%) and grain mill products (7.0%), in particular, rice milling which increased 17.7%, benefiting from higher production of paddy. Meanwhile, other food products, particularly, sugar refinery and biscuit products also registered double-digit growth ranging between 23.0% and 25.0%.


Export receipts of food products increased by 15.9% (RM5,268 million) while beverages 106.5% (RM580 million) as a result of continuous efforts by manufacturers to attain quality assurance and accreditation for Malaysia's food and beverages products.


The Government has identified the processed food industry as one of the major growth sectors of the economy under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP). Under the 9MP, the food commodities subsector is expected to grow at an average rate of 7.6% per annum through improvements in efficiency and productivity as well as expansion in hectarage. Exports of food commodities will be increased to achieve a positive food trade balance. The production of 'padi' will be increased to meet the target of self-sufficiency level of 90%. The production of fruits will be undertaken on a large-scale in the fruit production zones using the cluster development approach and concentrating on nine fruit species which have export potential. The production of vegetables will focus on high value varieties for local consumption and selected export markets. The Green Book Programme to promote cultivation of food crops at the community level will be reactivated.


The Government has approved an allocation of RM11.4 billion representing an increase of 70% compared with the Eighth Plan allocation for the sector. Among the objectives of the plan are large-scale commercial farming and greater application of modern technology and ICT to produce higher value-added processed food and food products.


Production of 'halal' food will be further promoted to take advantage of the vast potential of the 'halal' export market. This will include processing and packaging of meat, fisheries and other food-based products. In addition, Malaysia will be developed as the centre for the certification of 'halal' products and the Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM) 'halal' certification will be promoted worldwide. Concerted efforts to develop Malaysia as world halal hub to capture new markets worldwide would provide impetus for further growth of the local food industry.


The market for convenience and functional foods is expected to grow rapidly in view of the changing consumption patterns and greater awareness of healthy lifestyles. In this regard, the production and supply of ready-to-use seafood, livestock products and vegetable-based convenience food will be promoted as new areas of investment. Palm oil and cocoa-based food ingredients will be further developed in terms of products range and quality. The better performance in the food products industry was also due to greater efforts undertaken by the industry to keep pace with advancement in technology.


Note : The Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) was tabled in Parliament on March 31, 2006, is the five-year blueprints within the new National Mission policy and implementation framework from now until 2010. Malaysia is expected to see some structural changes and improved performance in the economy.

                    

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth

 

COMMENTS

 


Incorporated in 1988 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the wholesaling and importing of culinary food such as garlic, beans, onions, shallots, beans and etc. Over the years, the SC should have received strong support from its regular customers. Backed by Keongco Holdings Sdn Bhd, it allows the SC to enjoy timely financial assistance when the needs arise.


The SC operates in many markets such as China, Taiwan, Thailand and other countries. In line with the SC's global market penetration, the SC's business risk is well diversified. The SC management team are able to maintain good business relationship with its business partners both locally and overseas. Its management capability is regarded average. Currently, the SC employs over 182 employees in its business operations.


During the financial year 2006, the SC's turnover has increased 15.95% to RM162.93million, which led to higher pre-tax profit of RM1.04million. Return on shareholders' funds was low, indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate returns. Besides, the SC possesses a weak liquidity position as well. This shows that the SC was not be able to repay all its short term obligations. Fortunately, a low gearing ratio has placed the SC at low financial risk.


Investigation revealed that 60% of the SC's supplies are imported from overseas countries especially China, Myanmar and Europe. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates as a result of its import activities may negatively affect the SC's operating results.


Based on our historical financial data, the SC's payment is average and it should be able to meet small and medium commitments. Little caution needed for big transactions. The SC is clear of litigation.


Food is an evergreen industry as it is a basic consumer items. The growth potential of the SC is bright in tandem with the increasing population and consumer disposal income. Although the competition is intense within the industry, we believe that the SC is adapting well to meet the challenges of this sector with its aggressive business marketing network.


Based on the above circumstances, we recommend credit be granted to the SC normally.
