FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

 

 

Profitability:

Turnover

Decreased

[

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

<169.76%>

]


The shrinking turnover could be the result of more entrants into the market which eroded the SC's market share. The SC incurred losses during the year due to the inefficient control of its operating costs. The SC's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

Favourable

[

Debtors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

69 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

86 Days

]


The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The high debtors' ratio could indicate that the SC was weak in its credit control. However, the SC could also giving longer credit periods to its customers in order to boost its sales or to capture / retain its market share. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the SC taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the SC and its suppliers and the SC may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

Liquidity:

Liquid Ratio

:

Acceptable

[

0.86 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.26 Times

]


The SC's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the SC's working capital was slightly deficient. The SC will have to improve its liquidity position either by obtaining short term financing or increase its paid up capital so that it can meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Unfavourable

[

<86.34 Times>

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.58 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 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:

The SC's losses could be attributed to the lower turnover which in turn could be the result of unfavourable market conditions. The SC's liquidity was at an acceptable range. If the SC is able to obtain further short term financing, it should be able to meet all its short term obligations. 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 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 :

METAL

 

 

 


The metal industry is bullish in its outlook for 2011 with the implementation of projects under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). The local industry players were poised to benefit in the long term from projects such as the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit).


Even though the metal industry was not identified as one of the National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs), it has given huge contribution to various sectors under the NKEAs. The development of this industry would directly influence the performance and success of those NKEAs especially in the construction sector.


There would be a lot of infrastructure projects under the NKEAs and 10th Malaysia Plan which will create opportunities for the metal industry to expand production to cater for the upcoming demand in the implementation of projects.


By imposing an export duty on iron ore, then more will be available in the country and the prices will be lower than global prices but the imposing an export duty must be on special circumstances.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

 

COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION

 

 


Incorporated in 1990 as a private limited company, the SC is principally engaged in the manufacturing of formwork system for civil engineering construction. Having been in the industry for over 20 years, the SC should have received strong support from its regular customers. With a issued and paid up capital of RM1 million and strong backing from its well-established holding company, the SC enjoys timely financial assistance should the needs arise.


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 Hong Kong, India, China as well as Middle East region. With the contribution of both local and overseas customers, the SC is likely to be exposed to lower commercial risk. Being a large entity, the SC has a steady workforce of 650 personnel to support its business operations. More efforts are expected from the management in order to sustain its growth momentum.


During the financial year ended 2009, turnover of the SC has dropped by 55.24% from RM302.36 million to RM135.34 million which led to lower pre-tax profit of RM28.97 million. 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, the SC possesses a weak liquidity position and we believe that the SC may face some difficulties in meeting its short term financial obligations. Fortunately, 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. Given a positive net worth standing at RM16.49 million, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


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 fair. The unfavourable creditors' ratio clearly implied a weak credit control.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is likely to sustain in the near future. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the SC's business opportunity in the future should be bright.


Based on the above condition, we recommend a moderate amount of credit be granted to the SC normally.
