FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Erratic

[

2007 - 2009

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

2007 - 2009

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Favourable

[

30.09%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Favourable

[

30.46%

]


The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. Generally the SC was profitable. The favourable return on shareholders' funds and return on net assets indicate that the SC's management was efficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Nil

[

0 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

39 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0 Days

]


As the SC is a service oriented company, the SC does not need to keep 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

:

Favourable

[

4.46 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Favourable

[

4.46 Times

]


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.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Favourable

[

42.74 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.00 Times

]


The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. 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:

Although the turnover was erratic, the SC had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. 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. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. 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 :

CHEMICAL


The chemicals industry is one of Malaysia's key industries, catering not only for its own national requirements but also exporting to a number of countries worldwide. The Malaysian chemicals and chemical products industry has become the second largest contributor to the manufactured exports sector, after the electrical and electronics industry.


The chemicals industry is important in Malaysia on account of the nation's substantial oil and gas feedstock. The Chemicals Industries Council of Malaysia (CICM) was established in 1978 as an industry group under the aegis of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, to focus on the development of the chemicals industry. The primary objective of the CICM was to organise the chemicals industry in Malaysia into a cohesive group to represent Malaysia's interest at the ASEAN Chemicals Industries Club (ACIC).


The Malaysian chemicals industry witnessed 37% growth in domestic sales value in 2004 and sustained solid growth up until mid-2008. It expanded rapidly and had been forecast to reach sales figures of MYR60,816mn by 2009.


Malaysia's balance of trade for the year January to December 2008 was MYR114,883mn. In the first five months of 2008, total trade was 11.2% up on the same period last year. These impressive figures were short-lived however, with significant decreases observed in the latter half of 2008 and early 2009, due to the impact of global economic crisis. The Industrial Production Index (IPI) in January 2009 was 20.2 % lower than it was in January 2008, following a sharp decline of 15.9% in December 2008.


The biggest drop was witnessed by chemicals and chemical products, which saw output contract by 29.9%. This is partly because the chemicals industry tends to be more sensitive to the economic cycle and so fares disproportionately badly in recessions.


Total exports are down from MYR100,115mn (US$27,858.48mn) in January-February 2008 to MYR77,856mn (US$21,662mn) in the same period of 2009. Similarly, there has been a fall in imports, with total incoming sales falling from MYR81,289mn (US$22,617mn) in January-February 2008 to MYR57,778mn (US$16,705mn) in January-February 2009.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth

 

COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Established in 1988, the SC is a private limited company with core business in the trading in chemicals. With over 2 decades of experience in the business, the SC has fairly rich experiences in the business and has achieved a certain market share. With a large issued and paid up capital of RM292.5 million and strong backing from its well-established holding company, the SC enjoys timely financial assistance when the needs arise. These favourable conditions, the SC has minimised its risk in the industry compared to other players.


Over the years, the SC has established an extensive clientele base in the market. Besides catering to the local market, the SC has penetrated into other countries such as Australia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. With the contribution of both local and overseas customers, the SC is likely to be exposed to lower commercial risk. Moreover, the SC's products are widely used in various industries including packaging film, trash bags and etc. With a wide range of customer base coupled with a wider market segment, the SC's business risk is low. The SC is operating on a medium scale and it has approximately 60 employees in its business operations. The SC has a good management capability. Its capable management team has enabled the SC to keep its business on going. Hence, the future prospect of the SC is bright.


For the financial year ended 2009, the SC's turnover decreased from RM2.88 billion to RM2.41 billion . Despite the lower turnover, the SC's pre-tax profit grew to RM137.82 million. The SC has generated a favourable return on its shareholders' funds indicating that the SC's management was efficient in utilising its shareholders' funds to generate favourable returns. Besides, the SC was 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. 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. With the comfortable networth standing at RM463.26 million, the SC is able to sustain its business performance in the near terms.


The SC's supplier are from both the local and overseas countries. This will eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials.


Based on the historical financial data, we concluded that the SC's payment habit is prompt. The SC is capable to meet small and medium commitments.


The industry is rapidly growing and continue to be attractive in the near terms. We believe that the SC has the potential of capturing a higher market share in line with the tremendous growth in the industry. With the SC's favourable conditions, it should have acquired competitive edge from its competitors.


In view of the above favourable condition, we recommend a large amount credit be proceeded to the SC with favourable term.
