FINANCIAL COMMENTARY

 

Profitability

The group yielded a rate of net profit on sales of 0.85 per cent in FY09. The group is now able to book in SGD - SIN 0.01 of profit for every SGD - SIN of sales.

 

 

Liquidity

 

Current ratio stood at 1.07 times in FY09. This means that the group has SGD - SIN 1.07 of current assets for every SGD - SIN of current liability incurred.

 

A minimum figure of 1.0 would be considered the lowest limit that this figure should reach. Any business that has a current ratio near 1.0 may be heading for liquidity problems, and would need to be closely monitored. A figure greater than 2.0 would be more desirable, to act as a buffer against any short-term liquidity problems, and give creditors/bank managers a degree of comfort when granting credit/finance.

 

 

 

 

 


 

Leverage

Total debt-to-equity ratio notched at 12.95 times in FY09. This means that the group requires additional external financing of SGD - SIN 12.95 for every SGD - SIN injected into its operations.

 

Generally, a total debt-to-equity ratio of less than 0.5 times is preferred. The ratio measures the proportion of the company's reliance on external debt for financing, relative to the shareholder's fund. A lower ratio would imply a greater financial safety and operating freedom for the company.

 

 

Efficiency Ratio

 

 

Return on equity was 64.73 per cent for Subject in the current financial period. The return on equity measures the return earned on the owner's investment.  Generally, the higher this return, the better off the owner.

 

Return on assets stood at 4.64 per cent. The return on asset measures the overall effectiveness of management in generating profit with its available assets.

 

Total assets turnover ratio logged at 5.45 times in FY09. This ratio measures the group's ability to make productive use of its total assets to generate sales which reflects the efficiency of the management in utilising its resources.
