FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Increased

[

57.85%

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

<256.65%>

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

98.86%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

<55.32%>

]


The increase in turnover could be due to the SC adopting an aggressive marketing strategy. Higher losses before tax during the year could be due to the higher operating costs incurred. Although the SC's returns showed positive figures it is not reflective of the true situation. The SC incurred losses during the year and its shareholders' funds have turned red. The positive returns on shareholders' funds is the result of losses divided by negative shareholders' funds. The SC's management was inefficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

89 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

70 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

78 Days

]


The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. 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 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

[

0.30 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.36 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

[

<3.48 Times>

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

<3.29 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's gearing was negative during the year as its shareholders' funds was in the red. This means the SC is running its business using borrowed money. We consider the SC as facing high financial risks.

Overall Accessment:

Although the SC's turnover increased its profits however showed a reverse trend. The losses could be due to the management's failure to maintain its competitiveness in the market. 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 has high financial risks. If its shareholders do not inject more capital into the company or if its business performance does not improve, its going concern may be in question.

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

 


Established in 2000, the SC is a private limited company with core business in the processing and trading of meat. Throughout its years of establishment, the SC has slowly been building up contacts with its clients and competing in the industry. With RM2 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.


Besides catering to the local market, the SC also ventured to Asia countries. As it concentrates in both local and overseas markets, we believe that the SC has the ability to lower its business risk to meet any uncertainties in the local economy. Currently, the SC has a total work force of 100 employees. The SC's business activities are overseen by its executive director, Loo Choo Gee. The management capability of the SC is considered as weak due to its red shareholders' fund.


Financially, the SC registered poor financial standing in year 2006. Despite the higher turnover of RM3,786,599, the SC suffered pre-tax losses of RM2,009,972 which reflected a highly competitive business environment. 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, a low liquidity and high gearing level has placed the SC on high financial risk. The SC's unfavourable financial performance over the years has wiped out its shareholders' funds to a deficit of RM2,033,084. Therefore, the SC as a going concern is much dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flow and obtain additional financing to meet its future obligations.


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 poor. The unfavourable creditors' ratio may affect the goodwill between the SC and its suppliers and the SC may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.


The industry remains robust with continuing strong global demand for its products. There is no doubt that the food industry is growing, in tandem with the rising population. However, we are of the opinion that there are large numbers of other companies in the same industry. In another words, we believe that the SC faces stiff competitions from other local and foreign players.


In view of above and due to its red shareholders' fund, we regard granting credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
