The lower turnover could be due to the unfavourable market conditions. The dip
in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced the SC's
profit margin. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its
shareholders using its assets.

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.

|
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.

|
The SC's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the
year. The SC had no gearing and hence it had virtually no financial risk. The
SC was financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated fund.
During the economic downturn, the SC, having a zero gearing, will be able to
compete better than those which are highly geared in the same industry.
Overall Assessment:
The SC's
performance deteriorated over the years with lower 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. The SC did not make any
interest payment during the year. The SC was dependent on its shareholders'
funds to finance its business needs. The SC was a zero gearing company, it
was solely dependant on its shareholders to provide funds to finance its
business. The SC has good chance of getting loans, if the needs arises.
Overall financial condition of the SC : STRONG

|
INDUSTRY :
|
MACHINERY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) has suggested that the government
reduce the import duty and sales tax for heavy machinery used in
construction, on a systematic basis within two years, to five per cent from
the 20 per cent currently.
|
|
The reduction would enable construction machinery companies as well as the
industry, to remain competitive within ASEAN.
|
|
As a majority of the construction machinery in Malaysia is quite old, there
would be huge opportunities for construction machinery companies to explore,
penetrate and expand their businesses as well as to support the
implementation of projects in the country.
|
|
The MBAM is encouraging the use of newer machinery to improve efficiency
and also for safety purposes, as older ones, may have a higher safety risk
due to metal fatigue.
|
|
However, the existence of an import duty and sales tax are still required
to avoid large scale dumping of second hand machinery in Malaysia.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Marginal Growth
|
COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION
|
Incorporated in 2000 as a private limited company, the SC is
principally engaged in the manufacturing of sterilisation for healthcare
products. Strongly supported by its well-established holding company from United
Kingdom, the SC is expected to enjoy timely financial and technical support
should the needs arise. With a large issued and paid up capital of RM29.7
million, the SC's business has been expanding comfortably over the years.
The SC's business position is stable.
|
|
Besides catering to the local market, the SC also exports to neighboring
countries especially Singapore. As it concentrates in both local and
overseas markets, we believe that the SC has the ability to lower its
business risk to meet any uncertainties in the local economy. Currently,
the SC has a total work force of 70 employees in its operation. Overall,
the management capability of the SC is average.
|
|
In year 2010, the SC's turnover has moderated by 1.53% to RM19.78 million
whilst its pre-tax profit dropped to RM8.36 million, in view of decline in
margin as a result of a challenging and competitive business environment.
Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was at an acceptable range which
indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to
generate income. The SC is in good liquidity position with its current
liabilities well covered by its current assets. Hence, it has sufficient
working capital to meet its short term financial obligations. Besides,
being a zero geared company, the SC virtually has no financial risk as it
is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs.
The SC had a strong financial performance in year 2010.
|
|
Investigation revealed that the SC's raw materials are sourced from both
local and overseas suppliers. Hence, the SC is subjected to currency
fluctuation risk and high operating costs.
|
|
We regard that the SC's overall payment habit is prompt. The SC had a
favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days.
|
|
The potential growth for the industry is marginal and it is quite
competitive. It very much depends on the SC's capability in sustaining its
performance in the market. With the SC's favourable conditions, it should have
acquired competitive edge from its competitors.
|
|
Based on the above condition, we recommend a fairly large amount of credit
be granted to the SC promptly.
