^LEVERAGE:

^{IN THE SHORT-TERM, SUBJECT WAS LARGELY FINANCED BY TRADE CREDITORS WHICH MADE UP 55.07% (2005: 90.50%) OF THE TOTAL CURRENT LIABILITIES AND AMOUNTED TO S$99,322,741 IN FY 2007 (2005: S$67,333,535). TRADE CREDITORS CONSISTED OF THE FOLLOWING:}

^{* TRADE PAYABLES DUE TO THIRD PARTIES - 2007: S$62,025,206 (2005: S$61,780,955)}

^{IN ALL, LEVERAGE RATIO WAS AGGRESSIVE AT 29.77 TIMES, UP FROM 6.53 TIMES AS A RESULT OF A GREATER RISE IN TOTAL LIABILITIES THAN TOTAL EQUITY. A LOWER RATIO WOULD BE MORE DESIRABLE AS THE LOWER THE RATIO, THE GREATER THE FINANCIAL SAFETY AND OPERATING FREEDOM FOR THE COMPANY.}

^LIQUIDITY:

^{IN GENERAL, SUBJECT'S LIQUIDITY SITUATION WAS SUFFICIENT AS SEEN FROM THE SIGNIFICANT RISE IN NET WORKING CAPITAL BY 18.26 TIMES FROM S$11,372,816 TO S$219,077,246 IN FY 2005. CURRENT RATIO ROSE TO 2.21 TIMES (2005: 1.15 TIME) BUT QUICK RATIO FELL TO 0.62 TIMES (2005: 1.15 TIMES).}

^{PROFITABILITY:}

^{SUBJECT POSTED AN INCREASE IN REVENUE BY 66.45%% FROM S$1,145,658,195 TO S$1,906,967,857. THIS LED TO A RISE IN NET PROFIT BY 45.92% FROM S$1,110,616 TO S$1,620,634 IN FY 2007. AS A RESULT, NET MARGIN WAS COMPUTED AT 0.08% (2005: 0.10%).}

^{DEBT SERVICING:}

^{DEBT SERVICING PROBLEMS MIGHT BE EXPECTED IF REVENUE AND EARNINGS CAN BE MAINTAINED AND PAYMENTS BY TRADE DEBTORS ARE NOT FORTHCOMING. IT WAS NOTED THAT AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD HAS SHORTENED TO 15 DAYS (2005: 19 DAYS).}

Singapore’s Country Rating 2007

Investment Grade

IN SINGAPORE, THE POLITICAL SITUATION REMAINS STABLE.

SINGAPORE BOASTS THE BEST GOVERNANCE IN ASIA, WITH AN EFFECTIVE LEGAL SYSTEM FACILITATING DEBT COLLECTION AND TO A HIGH DEGREE OF FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY.

EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS HAVE REMAINED SUBSTANTIALLY IN SURPLUS, CONTRIBUTED TO THE DYNAMISM OF THE ELECTRONICS AND PHARMACEUTICALS SECTORS AND TO REPATRIATION OF PROFITS FROM SINGAPORE INVESTMENTS. THE FINANCIAL AND TOURISM SECTORS HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE LARGE CURRENT ACCOUNT SURPLUS.

SINGAPORE CONTINUES TO KEENLY WELCOME FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND OFFERS A VERY OPEN AND WELL-PLANNED ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT. IT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTING AMBITIOUS DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY, FOCUSED PARTICULARLY ON THE CHEMICALS AND PHARMACEUTICAL SECTORS.

THE GOVERNMENT USES FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT TO DEVELOP PRIORITY SECTORS (ELECTRONICS, CHEMICALS, BIOTECHNOLOGY). THE AIM IS TO ENCOURAGE THE GROWTH OF HIGH ADDED-VALUE ACTIVITIES AND TURN SINGAPORE INTO A REGIONAL HUB FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS INTERESTED IN ASIA.

CERTAIN SECTORS (MEDIA, LEGAL AND FINANCIAL SERVICES) ARE HOWEVER ONLY PARTIALLY OPEN TO FOREIGN INVESTMENT. THESE SECTORS ARE SLOWLY OPENING UP, BUT THE PROGRESS IS SLOW.

AFTER HIGH GROWTH IN 2006, BUOYED BY THE DYNAMISM OF BOTH EXPORTS AND HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION, A SLOWDOWN IS EXPECTED IN 2007.

ASSETS

• MAJOR EXPORTER OF CAPITAL IN ASIA, NOTABLY VIA THE STATE-OWNED TEMASEK HOLDING COMPANY.
• HIGH QUALITY COMPETITIVENESS IN ASIA
• EXCELLENT BUSINESS CLIMATE
• POLITICAL STABILITY.

WEAKNESSES

• SKILLED MANPOWER HAS BEEN LACKING IN THE SECTORS TARGETED FOR DEVELOPMENT.
• AN AGEING POPULATION COULD, ULTIMATELY, AFFECT ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE.
• GROWING INEQUALITY AND THE EMERGENCE OF LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG THE LEAST SKILLED COULD GENERATE SOCIAL TENSIONS.
• BEING THE WORLD’S MOST OPEN ECONOMY, IT HAS BEEN VULNERABLE TO WORLD ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS.
