We conducted an interview with one of the SC's Sales staff. She revealed some relevant information on the SC.


FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

 

Turnover                                       : Increased                    [ 25.53% ]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax                 : Increased                    [ 153.41% ]

Return on Shareholder Funds        : Acceptable                  [ 11.70% ]

Return on Net Assets                   : Acceptable                  [ 15.31% ]


The higher turnover could be attributed to the favourable market condition and the SC could be gaining the market share progressively. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.


Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio                                  : Favourable                  [ 26 Days ]

Debtors Ratio                               : Acceptable                  [ 64 Days ]

Creditors Ratio                             : Favourable                  [ 18 Days ]

 

The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. 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 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                  [ 2.40 Times ]

Current Ratio                                : Favourable                  [ 3.02 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                               : Favourable                  [ 151.68 Times ]

Gearing Ratio                               : Favourable                  [ 0.03 Times ]

 

The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. 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:

Generally, the SC's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. 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. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. 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 : STRONG

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 1993, the SC is a private limited company, focusing on wholesale and retail of spices. Over the years, the SC has a paid up capital of RM500,000. With this paid up capital, the SC's management should put more efforts in its business operation to keep its business going. Through years' establishment, the SC should have built up pretty sound supply channels. Under the control of Teh's family members, the SC's business position in the market is considered quite stable.


Apart from the local market, the SC also has business operations in other countries. The wider range of its market segments has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings and minimized its business risk. Having a stable customer network through its years of establishment, the SC's future prospect is bright. Presently, the SC has a work force of 20 employees in the operations. Its management capability is regarded as average.


During the financial year 2006, the SC turnover and pre-tax profit had increased to RM21,692,849 and RM901,792 respectively. Return on shareholders' funds is at an acceptable level, indicating that the SC was efficient in utilising its funds to generate return. Besides that, the SC is in a good liquidity position and it is able to repay its short term obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the SC faces low financial risk. The overall financial performance of the SC is strong. A networth of RM5.87 million allows the SC to maintain its business in the near term.


Our check revealed that the SC's supplies are 100% sourced from overseas countries. As an imported oriented company, its forex exposure is high. A small movement in currency exchange rates would result in a change in operating profit or costs.


Based on its financial historical data, the SC's pattern of payment habit is prompt and it is clear of litigation.


The food industry continues to grow and the growth prospect is bright. With the promising outlook of the industry, the SC should be able to further enhance its business.


In view of its strong financial performance and based on our assessment, we recommend credit be granted to the SC promptly.
