Other Investigations


We conducted an interview with one of the SC's staff from Admin & Accounts Division. She revealed some relevant information on the SC.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

 

Turnover                                      : Increased                    [ 2005 - 2007                 ]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax                : Decreased                  [ 2005 - 2007                 ]

Return on Shareholder Funds        : Acceptable                 [ 16.80%                       ]

Return on Net Assets                   : Acceptable                 [ 19.19%                       ]


The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. 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:

 

Stock Ratio                                 : Favourable                  [ 22 Days                      ]

Debtors Ratio                              : Favourable                  [ 34 Days                      ]

Creditors Ratio                             : Favourable                  [ 10 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                                 : Unfavourable               [ 0.61 Times                  ]

Current Ratio                               : Unfavourable               [ 0.90 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               [ 2.80 Times                  ]

Gearing Ratio                              : Acceptable                 [ 0.96 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's gearing was slightly high. The SC is utilising the leverage concept to fund its expansion. However, the high gearing has added financial risks to the SC. It will be more vulnerable in times of economy downturn.

Overall Accessment:

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. 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's gearing was slightly high and its financial risk was also high. If no plans are made to reduce its gearing, the SC's performance may deteriorate in the coming year.



Overall financial condition of the SC : LIMITED

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

 


Formed in 1992, as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the trading in sundry goods such as onions, garlic, rice, canned foods and others. With its long track record in the industry, the SC should have gained certain market share and acquired a satisfactory reputation in the market. Having a paid up capital of RM1.2 million, the SC has the abilities to expand its business comfortably.


Although the SC solely focuses on the local market, it does not face significant risk as its products are treated as necessity items for public. Besides that, being supported by some traditional customers, the SC's business risk is regarded as moderate. Today, the management of the SC is assisted by 25 employees in the operations. It is managed by its director, Ng Long Chong.


During the financial year 2007, the SC's turnover and pre-tax profit stood at RM33,393,220 and RM586,577 respectively. Return on shareholders' funds is at an acceptable level, indicating that the SC's management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate return. However, the SC is in a weak liquidity position. It may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term obligations. A low gearing ratio has minimised its financial risk. The overall financial performance of the SC is limited. Given a networth of RM2.68 million, we believe that the SC has the abilities to maintain its business in the near term.


Investigation revealed that the SC sources its products from both the local and overseas market. Thus the SC is subjected to the foreign currency exposure risk.


Based on its financial historical data, the SC's payment record is average and there are no legal suit against the SC.


The industry continues to grow and the growth prospect is bright. This has created ample business opportunities for the SC to expand and stabilise its business.


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