FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

The financial summary of the SC in Year 2007 showed that it was financially FAIR. The SC has generated an acceptable return on its shareholders' funds, indicating that the SC was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate returns. Besides this, it also has an adequate liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by its current assets. With its net current assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. However, a high gearing ratio has placed the SC at high financial risk.

Overall financial condition of the SC : FAIR

INDUSTRY COMMENTS

 

MSIC CODE

15143 : Manufacture of refined palm oil

51411 : Wholesale of petrol, diesel, lubricants, etc.

 

 

INDUSTRY :

PALM OIL

 

 

 


The Plantation and Commodities Minister, Peter Chin Fah Kui said that palm oil prices are expected to stay between RM3,500 and RM3,600 a tonne in the short term on the strong demand and the shortage of vegetable oils worldwide. Besides, the high demand for biodiesel also could influence the price of palm oil in the industry as 16 million metric tonnes of palm oil output, six million will be used for biodiesel and the rest for food. In the long term, palm oil prices are expected to stay above RM3,600 a tonne but this will depend on the crude oil price.


Government is encouraging the cultivation of palm oil areas which are suitable and will adopt sustainable agricultural practice. Hence, the government has offered incentives to those involved in the cultivation of palm oil, especially to smallholders to replant or plant new crops.


The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) expects palm oil export earnings to touch a record RM50bil this year on anticipation that the price of the commodity will maintain its bullish run. Palm export revenue jumped 41.8% to RM45.1bil last year compared with RM31.8bil in 2006. China maintained its position as the largest importer of Malaysian palm oil for the sixth consecutive year, accounting for 3.84 million tonnes, or 27.9% of the exports.


According to the Chairman, Datuk Sabri Ahmad, he said that the continued tight supply and high demand for vegetable oils as well as adverse weather conditions could see a continued bull run in palm oil prices this year and next. Therefore, the world demand for vegetable oils and fats is expected to increase within the next three to four years.


He said the palm oil industry recorded a phenomenal performance in 2007, with average palm oil price having risen 67.5% to RM2,530.50 per tonne in 2007 from RM1,510.50 in 2006.


Nonetheless, the production of crude palm oil declined marginally by 0.4% from 15.9 million tonnes to 15.8 million tonnes in 2007. The total oil palm planted area increased 3.4% in 2007 to 4.304 million ha from 4.165 million ha in 2006. For the year 2007, palm oil exports fell 4.8% to from 14.4 million tonnes to 13.7 million compared to the previous year.


Malaysia has teamed up with Indonesia to counter anti-palm oil propaganda among the Western non-government organizations (NGOs) as about 85 percent of the world palm oil is produced by Malaysia and Indonesia. This NGOs in the West purposely launch the campaigns to tarnish to product's good name even though they know it's not true.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth



 

 

COMMENTS

 


Incorporated in 1980, the SC is principally engaged in manufacturing, trading and marketing of palm oil products. Being a private limited company, the SC has a large paid up capital of RM85.5million which allows the SC to further expand its business in the near term. Under the control of its holding company, the SC is expected to enjoy timely assistance when the needs arise. With its long track record in the industry, the SC should have built up certain goodwill with its clients over times.


Over the years, the SC has firmly established a wide and stable network both locally and internationally. We believe that with long experience in the business, the SC should have received strong support from its loyal customers and business associates. Apart from serving the local market, the SC's customer's base has broaden to cover Europe and Asia countries. Such an extensive network has minimised its business risk and better growth prospect can be expected. To date, the Group has 3,278 employees in its business operations and more efforts are expected from the management in order to sustain its growth momentum.


During the financial year 2007, the SC's turnover and pre-tax profit stood at RM1.6billion and RM39.03million. Return on shareholders' funds was at an acceptable range, indicating that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate returns. Besides, the SC possesses an adequate liquidity position as it does not face any difficulties in meeting its short term obligations. Although the SC's liability ratio is high, it is mainly due to high current liabilities rather than long term debt. However, the high current liabilities are well covered by its large current assets, indicating that the SC does not face any shortage in short term working capital. Given a huge net worth of RM223.24million, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near term.


Besides obtaining its raw materials locally, the SC also imports from overseas countries. Due to its long establishment, we believe that the SC has built up a stable supplier base. Thus, it does not face significant problem in getting its resources.


Based on our historical financial data, the SC's overall payment habit is average.


The industry remains robust with the encouraging demand for its products. Although the market is highly competitive, the SC should be able to sustain its market shares due to its reputation and years of establishment.


In view of above and based on our assessment, we recommend credit be granted to the SC promptly.
