FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Increased

[

2007 - 2009

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

[

2007 - 2009

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Acceptable

[

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Favourable

[

41.06%

]


The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Favourable

[

37 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Acceptable

[

58 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

53 Days

]


The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The SC's management was quite efficient in handling its debtors. The SC's debtors days were at an acceptable range, thus the risk of its debts turning bad was minimised. 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

[

0.73 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.03 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

:

Acceptable

[

9.76 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.03 Times

]


The SC's interest cover was slightly low. If there is no sharp fall in its profit or sudden increase in the interest rates, we believe the SC is able to generate sufficient income to service its interest and repay the loans. 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 Assessment:

Generally, the SC's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. 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. The SC had an acceptable interest cover. If there is no sudden sharp increase in interest rate or fall in the SC's profit, we do believe the SC is able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its interest payment. 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.

INDUSTRY :

PHARMACEUTICAL


Malaysia's pharmaceutical industry has become increasingly reputable. Along the years, there was a significant transformation of the Malaysian pharmaceutical industry; especially gaining momentum from the implementation of regulations. Besides, the vast development in various aspects such as management, hospital, marketing, community, manufacturing, academia, research, regulatory and enforcement has changed the entire landscape of the local pharmaceutical sector.


Valued at RM3.5 billion in 2007, the pharmaceutical market grew to RM3.8 billion in 2008 and jumped to RM4.2 billion in year 2009, on the back of the US subprime crisis. Driven by the changing demographics, with a growing middle-class, as well as the rising expectations, the domestic industry is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 10 per cent. Currently, domestic manufacturers dominate the scene for generics and OTC (over the counter) products while MNCs (multi-national companies) reign strong in branded/ethical drugs.


Nonetheless, efforts to provide healthcare including pharmaceutical care are facing new challenges. Rising costs, constraints in financial budget, inefficient health systems, huge disease burden, and the changing social, technological, economic and political environment currently confront many countries, including Malaysia. The Ministry of Health has no option but to embrace change and ICT (information and communication technology). Its pharmaceutical services division has responded to this challenge by effectively applying innovative and creative ideas to further improve the drug delivery system.


Regarding medicines access, the number of medicines on the market has increased dramatically over the last two decades, bringing some novel innovations but also considerable challenges in regulating the quality and monitoring the rational use of medicines. On the regulatory front, up to 2009, the Drug Control Authority (DCA) had approved 12,626 prescription medicines, 9,683 OTC items and 20,193 traditional products. The DCA had also licensed 250 manufacturers, 374 importers and 962 wholesalers.


The pharmaceutical authority is mindful of creating a business-friendly environment which in turn will stimulate the economy and to achieve high income status in line with the prime minister's Government Transformation Programme (GTP). On this, it is taking steps to reduce the processing time for new licences from 21 to 10 days. With enhancement in IT system, licence applications are now more efficient. In an era of speed, the division must facilitate and be more responsive. Competitive edge is the driving force. While enforcement is important to ensure that the laws are complied to safeguard public interests but not over-regulation which can be burdensome to the business community. 


Anyway, audits and monitors will be conducted on suspiciously fast movement and high sale of selected brands. Last year, 79 pharmacies were raided with 1,297 items valued at RM389,900 confiscated. The pharmacy enforcement also took part in operations to reduce street crimes linked to drugs abuse and diversion of psychotropics, ATS stimulants and narcotic derivatives sourced from clinics and pharmacies. 

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth



COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 1979 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the distribution of pharmaceutical products and medical disposables. With experiences for about 32 years in the industry, the SC's operation has been running relatively stable since it has built up a relatively sound and stable clientele base which has contributed to its business growth. Presently, the issued and paid up capital of the SC standing at RM1 million, thus the SC has the potential of capturing a higher market shares as it is competing aggressively in the market.


Information revealed that the SC solely focuses on domestic market rather than overseas market. We believe that this narrow market segment would limit the SC's business opportunities and the SC is likely to be affected by the uncertainties in local economy. However, its long presence in the market has enabled the SC to gain certain market shares.Thus, its business risk is diversified. With a workforce of 70 staff, the SC's management structure is well organized and overseen by its managing director. Overall the management capability of the SC is good.


In the year 2010, its turnover continued on an upward momentum, reaching RM37.56 million. Correspondingly, its pre-tax profit rose to RM3.43 millions. This was achieved on the back of stronger performance of higher turnover. Besides 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. Due to its weak liquidity position, the SC may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term financial obligations if no fresh capital are injected into the SC. However, being a lowly geared company, the SC is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. With the comfortable networth standing at RM9.07 million, the SC is able to sustain its business performance in the near terms.


Our investigation revealed the SC is subjected to the foreign currency exchange risk, as imports its raw material from both local and overseas market such as United Kingdom and United States. Due to its long presence in the market has built up a stable supplier base. Hence, it may not have problems in getting its raw material when needs arise.


Overall, the SC's payment habit is good as the SC has a good credit control and it could be taking advantage of the cash discounts while maintaining a good reputation with its creditors. Based on our databank, the SC is clear of any litigation action.


The market for the pharmaceutical industry is growing due to increase public awareness about health matters, resulting in greater spending on healthcare. As a well established company, the SC should have strong competitive edge against other players in the same fields.


Based on the above condition, we recommend USD462,648 of credit be granted to the SC promptly.
