Other Investigations


We conducted an interview with Ms Catherine from the SC's Admin Department. She revealed some information pertaining to the SC

 

 

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Increased

[

2005 - 2007

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

2005 - 2007

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Acceptable

[

24.00%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Favourable

[

49.66%

]


The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. The SC's management have been efficient in controlling its operating costs. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets

 

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Favourable

[

14 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

48 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 favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the SC. 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

:

Acceptable

[

0.82 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.98 Times

]


The SC's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the SC's working capital was slightly deficient. The SC will have to improve its liquidity position either by obtaining short term financing or increase its paid up capital so that it can meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due


Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Unfavourable

[

2.82 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.05 Times

]


The SC's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it may not be able to meet all its interest payment. 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's liquidity was at an acceptable range. If the SC is able to obtain further short term financing, it should be able to meet all its short term obligations. If there is a fall in the SC's profit or any increase in interest rate, the SC may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. 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 : FAIR

TRADING


Retail sales in Malaysia are expected to rise by 6.7% in the first half of 2008 to RM40.5million due to the strong consumer confident sentiment. According to the Retail Group Malaysia, retail sales were up 8.2% in the first half of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The strong retail growth is attributed to a strong performing economy, urban migration, stable employment, an expanding population as well as increasing tourist arrivals. Besides, increased attention by the government on development reforms and infrastructure would aid economic activity, despite Malaysia's real gross domestic products (GDP) growth would slow to 4.8% this year.


It is undeniable that the Visit Malaysia Year is a success by any measure as the government has extended the VMT to Aug 31, 2008. The opening of new mega shopping complexes has spurred domestic retail spending and attracted greater tourist arrivals.


Malaysian retailers in the country can look forward to another two years of robust growth, ringing up sales to the tune of RM69.3 billion in 2008 and RM74.88 billion in 2009. In 2008, RGM projects another eight per cent growth due to the uncertain US economy, which makes it too early to reduce or increase the projection as the situation is still being observed.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

 

COMMENTS

 

 


The SC is principally engaged in the trading in sundry goods such as potatoes, onions, garlics, nuts, beans and others. Incorporated in 1989, the SC is registered as a private limited company. Throughout its years of establishment, the SC should have gained certain market share and acquired a satisfactory reputation in the market. Presently, the SC has a paid up capital of RM1.9million. Under the majority control of Ng's family members, the SC's business position in the market is considered stable.


Investigation revealed that the SC mainly supplies to the local market. This narrow market segment limits the SC's business expansion opportunities and lowers its growth prospects. However, with its stable customer base through its years of establishment, its business risk is mitigated. The management of the SC is assisted by 20 staff in the operations and its overall management capability can be considered good.


Referring to the latest financial year 2007, the SC has striven to achieve a high turnover and profitability. Both its turnover and pre-tax profit have increased compared to the previous year. Its turnover showed an improvement of 67.33% to RM170.67million whilst its pre-tax profit grew 19.57% from RM1.98million to RM2.37milion. Based on the high profitability, return on shareholders' funds was high. However, a weak liquidity position shows that the SC was not be able to repay all its current obligations. Fortunately, a low gearing ratio places the SC at low financial risk.


We noted that all of the SC's products are sourced from overseas suppliers. Being an import-oriented company, the SC is deemed to be exposed to foreign exchange risk.


The SC's payment record is average and there is no legal suit against the SC.


The industry remains robust with continuing strong demand for its products. The steady growth in the local economy will further enhance the business activities and we believe that there will be more business activities available for the SC. Its long presence in the market should have enabled the SC to compete with other competitors.


In view of the above, we recommend credit be granted to the SC promptly.
