FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Erratic

[

2008 - 2010

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

2008 - 2010

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Favourable

[

32.70%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Favourable

[

44.07%

]


The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The management had succeeded in turning the SC into a profit making company. The profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. 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:

Favourable

[

34 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

17 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0 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

:

Unfavourable

[

0.73 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.01 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

:

Nil

[

0.00 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.00 Times

]


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 turnover showed a volatile trend but its losses were lower when compared to the previous corresponding period. This could suggest that the SC was more efficient in its operating cost control and was more competitive. 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 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.

51212 : Wholesale of palm oil

 

 

INDUSTRY :

PALM OIL

 

 

 


Inventory levels and the La Nina weather patterns will determine the price of palm oil, which hit a 30-month high on 13 December 2010 while Crude palm oil (CPO) for February delivery rose RM89 to close at RM3,722. The prices expect to be firm over the next few months on sustained demand due to end-year festivities and the coming Chinese New Year holidays despite Malaysian plantations going into a production down-cycle after hitting a peak in October.


Inventory in November 2010, which stood at 1.63 million tonnes, was 15.4% lower than a year ago. Besides, wetter weather conditions going into the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the La Nina weather patterns could still affect the planting season and therefore prices going forward.


The CPO prices to be firm over the next few months on sustained demand due to end-year festivities and will hover around the RM3,000 to RM3,500 levels by the middle of year 2011.


According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, CPO production in November, at 1.45 million tonnes, was 8.6% lower than a year ago and 10.8% down from October, where there was a recovery despite the weather conditions, while year-to-date, it was 1.8% weaker than last year. While exports registered a slight 0.1% decline from a year ago, it recovered on a month-on-month basis and year-to-date, was up 4.8% compared to the same period in year 2009.


Inventories would depend on demand and the weather. The weather conditions would be like six months down the road but the current weather conditions were not normal. It's not normal to see the flooding that we've seen in the northern part of the peninsula or the extreme cold conditions in Europe.


In a report that the November data was the worst November performance since 2005. While investors should watch out for softening prices starting from mid-2011, there is no any urgency to underweight the sector at this point in time as palm oil price should remain relatively firm given that the supply tightness will persist in the next few months.


The house's average CPO price expectation of RM2,700 per tonne for next year on expectations of a potential bumper harvest in the second-half while for 2010, the CPO price was on track to hit an average price of RM2,700.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth

 

COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 1981 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the trading of crude palm oil and palm oil products. Its impressive track record shows that the SC has been able to keep its business going despite the passing of three decades of highs and lows in the local economy. We noted that the SC has increased its share capital from RM2 million to RM50 million thereby giving the SC additional funds to finance its future business needs. Besides, strongly supported by its holding company, the SC is expected to enjoy timely financial and technical support should the needs arise.


About 60% of the SC's products are exported to countries like Asia, Middle East and Europe countries while the remaining are absorbed by the local market. Such a wide geographical spread has well diversified its business risk should there be a slowdown in the local economy. Thereby it will increase its ability to compete in the market. To date, the SC has a total workforce of 100 employees in its business operations. The SC's management structure is well organised and its management capability is regarded as good.


During the financial year under review, the SC's turnover continued on an upward momentum, reaching RM1,560,44 million in 2010 compared to RM541.26 million previously. Correspondingly, its pre-tax profit rose to RM3.75 million. This was achieved on the back of stronger performance of higher turnover. Based on the higher profitability, the SC has generated a favourable return based on its existing shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. However, the SC possesses a weak liquidity position and we believe that the SC may face some difficulties in meeting its short term financial obligations. Nevertheless, 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 might be exposed to the forex risk as some of its raw materials are sourced from overseas suppliers. With its long presence in the market, it should have developed a strong supplier. Thus, it 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 had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days.


The palm oil industry continues to be attractive as government is encouraging the cultivation of palm oil areas which are suitable and will adopt sustainable agricultural practice. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the SC business potential should be favourable. Moreover, as the SC is long presence in the market, it should have acquired competitive edge against other players in the same fields.


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