Return on Net Assets

:

[

]


The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. Higher losses before tax during the year could be due to the higher operating costs incurred. Although the SC's returns showed positive figures it is not reflective of the true situation. The SC incurred losses during the year and its shareholders' funds have turned red. The positive returns on shareholders' funds is the result of losses divided by negative shareholders' funds. The SC's management was inefficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

Favourable

[

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

34 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

51 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

[

0.24 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.51 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

:

Unfavourable

[

<17.38 Times>

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

<0.34 Times>

]


The SC incurred losses in the year. It did not generate sufficient income to service its interest. If the situation does not improve, the SC may be vulnerable to default in servicing the interest. The SC's gearing was negative during the year as its shareholders' funds was in the red. This means the SC is running its business using borrowed money. We consider the SC as facing high financial risks.

Overall Assessment:

Although the SC's turnover increased its profits however showed a reverse trend. The losses could be due to the management's failure to maintain its competitiveness in the market. 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's interest cover was negative, indicating that it did not generate sufficient income to service its interest. If its result does not show impressive improvements or succeed obtaining short term financing or capital injection, it may not be able to service its interest and repay the loans. The SC has high financial risks. If its shareholders do not inject more capital into the company or if its business performance does not improve, its going concern may be in question.

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 2000 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in manufacture and wholesale of pharmaceutical and related product. Having been in the industry for over a decade, the SC has achieved a certain market share and has built up a satisfactory reputation in the market. With a small paid up capital of RM200,000, the SC should put more efforts on its business to gain higher market share while competing aggressively in the market.


Besides catering to the local market, the SC also exports to neighboring county, 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. However, being a loss making company indicates that the SC faces difficulties in the market. Currently, the SC's management is headed by its CEO, Chew Soon Keong, and supported by 15 manpower. An unfavourable return on shareholders' funds implies that the SC's management capability is weak.


Despite the higher turnover of RM2.39 million, the SC suffered pre-tax losses of RM344,934 which reflected a highly competitive business environment. Due to these losses, the SC has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. Besides, we noted that the SC's current liabilities well exceed its current assets. Due to its weak liquidity position, the SC may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term financial obligations if no fresh capital is injected into the SC. The high gearing ratio clearly implied that the SC was supported by more debt than equity. Thus, the SC is exposed to high financial risk.The SC's unfavourable financial performance over the years has wiped out its shareholders' funds to a deficit of RM984,792. Therefore, the SC as a going concern is much dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flow and obtain additional financing to meet its future obligations.


The SC sources its raw materials locally and internationally. Being involved in import and export activities, the SC is subjected to the foreign currency exchange risk and high operating costs which in turn may impair its profitability.


Based on the historical financial data, we concluded that the SC's payment habit is fair. The unfavourable creditors' ratio clearly implied a weak credit control.


The industry is rapidly growing and continue to be attractive in the near terms. However, the SC does not take any advantage from this favourable condition as it is making losses in this few years. The SC should adopt more competitive strategies to retain its business position in the market.


Based on the above unfavourable condition, we regard granting credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
