Other Investigations

 

We conducted an interview with Mr. Ujjwal Mehta the SC's Managing Director. He revealed some information pertaining to the SC.

           

 

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability :

Turnover                                    : Increased        [           1.96%   ]

Profit / ( Loss ) before tax           : Increased        [           20.66% ]

Return on Shareholder Funds      : Unfavourable    [           8.20%   ]

            Return on Net Assets     : Acceptable     [           10.96% ]

           

The higher turnover could be attributed to the favourable market condition. The SC's management have been efficient in controlling its operating costs. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds and net assets could indicate that the SC's management was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

 

 

Working Capital Control

 

Stocks Ratio                 : Unfavourable    [           111 Days          ]

Debtors Ratio                : Unfavourable    [           144 Days          ]

Creditors Ratio               : Unfavourable    [           159 Days          ]

 

The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. The SC's debtors ratio was high. The SC should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. 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                   : Unfavourable    [           0.75 Times        ]

Current Ratio                 : Unfavourable    [           1.23 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                : Favourable       [           33.07 Times      ]

Gearing Ratio                : Favourable       [           0.00 Times        ]

 

The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. 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

           

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. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficultiesThe 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 arise.

 

 

Overall financial condition of the SC

 

FAIR


COMMENTS

 

Established in 1997, the SC is principally engaged as a wholesaler of diamonds. As a private limited company, the SC has a paid up capital of RM500,000. With a small paid up capital, the SC may face difficulties in expanding its business when the needs arise. Having been in the industry for almost 10 years, the SC should have built up its reputation and image in the market. We considered that the SC's business position in the market is much dependent on the abilities of its shareholders.

 

Our investigation revealed that the SC only serves local customers. This narrow market segment limit sits business expansion opportunities and lowers its growth prospect. Being dependent on one market segment, the SC may lose its competitiveness against other export-oriented companies. As the SC's products are recognised as luxury items, it faces high business risk. The SC is recognised as a small entity with a work force of 1 employee in the operations. Overall, the SC's management capability is considered average.

 

During the financial year 2005, the SC's turnover and pre-tax profit had increased to RM4,679,475 and RM72,311 respectively. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC is relatively low, indicating that the SC's management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. Besides that, the SC is in a weak liquidity position. It may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term obligations.

Fortunately, a zero gearing ratio has placed the SC at low financial risk. The overall financial performance of the SC is fair.

 

We noted that the SC sources its products locally and also from overseas market. Being involved in import activities, the SC is exposed to foreign exchange risk.

           

Based on its financial historical data, the SC's payment record is fair. The SC should paid its suppliers on time in order to maintain good relationship with its suppliers. There are no legal suit against the SC.

 

The spending spree is expected to continue in year 2007. With this promising outlook of the industry, the SC's business potential should be favourable. However, being a small entity, the SC faces keen competition from other well established players in the same field.

 

In view of the above, we only recommend credit be granted to the SC with close monitoring.

 

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MALAYSIA ACCOUNTING STANDARD.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

 

-          From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds.  It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th Century B.C.  India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

-          The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

-          The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

-          Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

-          Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

-          The diamond jewellery industry in India today may be more than Rs 60000 mil and is rated amongst the fastest growing  in the world. Indi ranks third in the world in domestic diamond consumption.

-          Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

-          Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th October 2010 is as under –

 

DIAMOND SAGA – DIRTY DOZEN STUCK WITH 2K CR DEBT

 

This could be the biggest credibility crisis the Indian diamond industry has ever faced. Fifteen banks run the risk of losing Rs 2000 crore lent to a dozen diamond firms in Surat. Until about two months ago, they had not repaid  these dues. Bankers believe many diamantaires borrowed money during the economic downturn two years ago and diverted funds to businesses like real estate and capital markets. Many of themselves made money from these businesses but their diamond companies have gone sick and declared insolvency.

-          Most of the money borrowed from the banks in the name of their diamond business has been diverted in real estate and the share market. The banks are not in a position to seize their properties because in many cases, these were purchased in the name of their relatives and friends.
