FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Increased

[

2004 - 2006

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

2004 - 2006

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

6.74%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Acceptable

[

16.69%

]


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 profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds and net assets could indicate that the SC's management was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Favourable

[

20 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

81 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

8 Days

]


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

:

Unfavourable

[

0.79 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.94 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

[

1.47 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.59 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 highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The SC was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the SC will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the SC has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the SC's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

Overall Accessment:

Although the SC's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the SC's profit margin. 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. 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's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

INDUSTRY :

FOOD & BEVERAGES

 

 


Agricultural output will be further boosted by the projected increase in food production resulting from the various incentives and development programmes mounted by the government to reduce the high food import bill as well as to raise farmers' income through diversification into high value food crops and farming, including aquaculture, floriculture and cultivation of medicinal plants.


During the January to November 2007, domestic food manufacturing surged by 7.9%. The food and beverage sector remains dynamic with the opening of new international and local food chains and outlets throughout the country. The industry's potential has also attracted the interest of investors in hospitality-linked companies including the introduction of a new budget hotel chain patterned after the concept of budget airlines.


Agricultural produces for food is one of the main thrusts of the Government towards country's self-sufficiency, and also as a major contributor to the country's development. The objective is expected to be achieved through concerted efforts to reduce food imports and fully utilise the nation's resources. Imports of meat products currently stand at about RM2 billion annually.


In addition, turning Malaysia into a halal food hub is still on the agenda, which partly supports the positive outlook on the domestic food industry; this is a niche market that is not seen to be vulnerable to the effects of an economic slowdown in the US. Meanwhile, another area that has experienced growth and is poised to expand further this year is the processing and preservation of fish and fish 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.


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 : Average Growth

 

COMMENTS

 


Established in 1993, the SC is principally engaged in the trading of spices. The SC sells a wide range of spices from seeds, roots, bark, flowers, garlic, nutmeg to almond etc. With its long presence in the industry coupled with its vast experiences in the business, the SC should have built up a certain goodwill with its client over times.


Having been in the business for over a decade, the SC should have received strong support from its regular customers. Apart from serving the local market, the SC also exports to Thailand and Indonesia. Its ability to penetrate into the global market has benefited the SC in terms of higher profitability and minimised its business risk. At present the workforce of the SC is SC is 35 and the SC's business activities are headed by Director, Ng Shan Poh and its management capability is average.


During the financial under review, turnover of the SC grew by 15.82% to RM30.81 million in 2006. The SC recorded a pre-tax profit of RM295,016 for the year. The SC generated an unfavourable return on shareholder's fund indicating that the SC was inefficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate favourable returns. Besides this, it is in a weak liquidity position with its current liabilities not well covered by its current assets. Thus it may face working capital deficiency in repaying its short term obligations. The SC posted a high gearing ratio indicating that the SC faces high financial risk. Nonetheless with the comfortable networth standing at RM3.04 million, the SC is able to sustain its business performance in the near terms.


Investigation revealed that the SC's supplies are sourced from both local and overseas suppliers. Hence, the SC is subjected to currency fluctuation risk and high operating costs.


Based on its historical financial data, the SC's payment is average. The SC should be able to meet its small and medium commitments.


The rising population, improvement in quality of life and higher propensity to consume will further increase the demand for food products. We believe that the encouraging demand for the SC's products would present more business opportunities for the SC. However, the SC is facing increasing competition from other companies. Hence, the SC should improve its management capability and explore more new market segments in order to have a stable standing in the industry.


In view of the above we recommend credit be granted to the SC with monitoring.
