FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Increased

[

56.28%

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

<1,045.46%>

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Acceptable

[

14.44%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Acceptable

[

20.03%

]


The increase in turnover could be due to the SC adopting an aggressive marketing strategy. The management had succeeded in turning the SC into a profit making company. The profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.


Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Favourable

[

48 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

79 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

25 Days

]


The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. 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

:

Favourable

[

1.98 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Favourable

[

2.82 Times

]


A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the SC in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the SC was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the SC is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.


Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Nil

[

0.00 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.00 Times

]


The SC's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the year. The SC had no gearing and hence it had virtually no financial risk. The SC was financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated fund. During the economic downturn, the SC, having a zero gearing, will be able to compete better than those which are highly geared in the same industry.

 

Overall Accessment:

The higher turnover had helped to reduce the SC's losses. The SC was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. The SC did not make any interest payment during the year. The SC was dependent on its shareholders' funds to finance its business needs. The SC was a zero gearing company, it was solely dependant on its shareholders to provide funds to finance its business. The SC has good chance of getting loans, if the needs arises.

Overall financial condition of the SC : STRONG

INDUSTRY :

TEXTILE


The textiles and textiles products industry comprises four sub-sectors, namely primary textiles which cover activities such as polymerization, spinning, weaving, knitting and wet processing; made-up garments; made-up textiles; and textile accessories.


The production of textiles, apparels and footwear industry declined by 10.1% in the first six months of 2007 (January-June 2006: 12.6%). The decline was due to 21.4% contraction in output of textiles and 2.5% in apparels (January- June 2006: 9.8%; 31.4%), as a result of stiff competition from low-cost producing countries, in particular China, India, Thailand and Vietnam. In an effort to improve profit margins, the textile and apparels manufacturers are engaging in outsourcing and cross-border investments.


The textiles industry continues to make significant contributions to exports and employment. In 2006 (January-November), the textiles and textile products industry was the seventh largest export earner, contributing RM9.7 billion or approximately two per cent of total exports of manufactured goods. Malaysia's major export destination for textiles and textile products in 2006 was USA, accounting for 27.8 per cent of the total exports. Other major export destinations were ASEAN countries (16.1%), Turkey (6.3%), Japan (4.8%) and People's Republic of China (3.8%).


Most Malaysian manufacturers act as sub-contractors and supply their products to well-known global brands, besides developing their own. Demand for better designs as well as quality clothing and footwear has enabled manufacturers to focus on higher value-added production. Some producers have embarked on investments in high-tech equipment and improving product quality and productivity as well as brand building, undertaken during the economic downturn three years ago. Consequently, they are in a better position to compete with the recovery in external demand and better global economic performance.


In 2006, the International Trade and Industry Ministry's effort to launch a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US have propel the local textile and apparel industry into the global market place and assist the industry players to gain market shares in US. FTA could pave the way for import duties for Malaysian textile and apparel products entering US to be reduced or abolished and thus bring down the prices of the products.


There are over 1,000 factories involved in the textile and apparel industry and the competitiveness are highly dependent on their ability to deliver good quality products on time with competitive pricing. Malaysia is dependent on imports for the basic natural raw materials for the textile and apparel industry. There is increasing competition from low-cost producing countries like China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Decline



COMMENTS

 

Incorporated in 1997 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in manufacturing of woven automotives seat and upholstery fabrics. With a large paid up capital of RM10million, the SC has the potential of capturing higher market shares as it is competing aggressively in the market. Under the control of Fu-Chi Textile Co. Ltd, it allows the SC to enjoy timely assistance when the needs arise.


Having been in the market for over a decade, the SC has established a wide and stable clientele base. Apart from serving to the domestic market, 40% of its products are exported to Europe and Asia countries. This global approach has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings and market shares. Hence, better growth prospect can be expected from the SC. Presently, the SC is led by General Manager, Teng Hock Guan assisted by 80 staff in its business operations.


Referring to the financial year ended 2006, the Group's turnover has increased 56.28% to RM29.2million, which led to higher pre-tax profit of RM4.12million. Return on shareholders' funds was at an acceptable range, indicating that the Group was efficient in utilising its funds to generate returns. Besides, the Group was in a good liquidity position as well. This shows that the Group does not face any difficulties in meeting its short term obligations. Being a zero geared company, the SC virtually has no financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business.


We noted that the SC's raw materials are sourced locally and internationally. Being involved in import and export activities, the SC is subjected to currency fluctuation risk.


Based on our databank, the SC's overall payment habit is prompt and there is no legal suit against the SC.


The industry demonstrates a downward trend in the near term. The immediate outlook of the industry is unfavourable and it might pressure down the business performance of the SC.


Given a strong financial performance and positive net worth of RM20.18million, we recommend credit be granted to the SC normally.
