malaysia - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Malaysia, a middle-income country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Under current Prime Minister NAJIB, Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in Islamic finance, high technology industries, biotechnology, and services. The NAJIB administration also is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economy's dependence on exports. Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics, oil and gas, palm oil and rubber - remain a significant driver of the economy. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has profited from higher world energy prices, although the rising cost of domestic gasoline and diesel fuel, combined with strained government finances, has forced Kuala Lumpur to begin to reduce government subsidies. The government is also trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplies more than 40% of government revenue. The central bank maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves, and a well-developed regulatory regime has limited Malaysia''s exposure to riskier financial instruments and the global financial crisis. Nevertheless, Malaysia could be vulnerable to a fall in commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity because exports are a major component of GDP. In order to attract increased investment, NAJIB has raised possible revisions to the special economic and social preferences accorded to ethnic Malays under the New Economic Policy of 1970, but he has encountered significant opposition, especially from Malay nationalists and other vested interests.

:

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The increase in turnover could be due to the SC adopting an aggressive marketing strategy.The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

The SC's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The SC's management was quite efficient in handling its debtors. The SC's debtors days were at an acceptable range, thus the risk of its debts turning bad was minimised. 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.

[

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.

The SC's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it may not be able to meet all its interest payment. 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Generally, the SC's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. 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. If there is a fall in the SC's profit or any increase in interest rate, the SC may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall financial condition of the SC : FAIR

51212 : Wholesale of palm oil

 

 

INDUSTRY :

PALM OIL

 

 

 


Oil palm is one of the main drivers of Malaysia's agriculture sector where it has accounting for 71% of its agricultural land bank. Malaysia is the one of the biggest producers and exporters of palm oil prodcuts inthe growing global need for oils and fats. The palm oil industry is expected to grow about 7.1% over the next 10 years where it is driven by new plantation expansion, venture of large plantation companies into high potential downstream activities such as processed food, biodiesel, second generation biofuel and oleochemicals.


According to MPOB ( Malaysian Palm Oil Board ) statistics in May/June 2012,imports of processed palm oil continue to rise from 88,000 tonnes (May 2012) and 112,000 tonnes (June 2012).Due to the biological stress on oil palm trees and following by the bumper harvest in 2011, Oil production is expected to decline at the end of 2012. The number of palm oil mills in operation in the malaysia has increased from 53 (Dec 31, 2011) to 55 (second quarter 2012), with another 14 new mills at various stages of construction.


The outlook for the palm oil industry is bright, with its price range between RM3,100 and RM3,840 per tonne in first quarter 2012.This is equivalent to about 26.6 % of the global oils and fats trade. Furthemore, at the end of 2012, the demand and the price of palm oil are expected to be increased due to the adverse weather conditions of the production soy bean in South America is expected to be declined by 3 to 5% at the end of 2012.


The unfreezing of India's base import price of refined palm olein is expected to cause insignificant impact to Malaysian refiners as they have already established other downstream markets for their refined crude palm oil (CPO) exports. Furthermore, Malaysia has produced 18.91 million tonnes or 37.65% of the total palm oil production on 2011 and it has accounted for 17.99 million tonnes or 46.27% of the world exports.


Under the palm oil National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) in 2011, the launches of the Oil Palm Replanting and New Planting Smallholders Schemes ware improved the smallholders agricultural practices in 2012.The oil extraction rate is set to improve to 21.05% in three-year from 2012 to low of 19.70% as 1.35 more.


In driving speedier harvesting of oil palm fruits, the government has introduced the RM1,000 discount scheme to encourage the use of motorised sickle called Cantas and diamond blade sharpeners to enhance the palm oil industry. MPOB appointed 100 enforcement officers to visit mills to ensure the only good quality crops are processed. Since 2007, the palm oil industry has grown at an average of 14.5 per cent annualy until 2012. If the momentum is maitained for next 5 to 8 years, malaysia will achive its target of two million of hecters palm oil.

Incorporated in 1991, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on trading of palm oil and its related products. The SC has been in business for over two decades. It has built up a strong clientele base and good reputation will enable the SC to further enhance its business in the near term. The SC is expected to enjoy a stable market shares. The capital standing of the SC is fair. With an adequate share capital, the SC has the potential of expanding its business in future.


Over the years, the SC has penetrated into both the local and overseas market. The SC has positioned itself in the global market and is competing in the industry. Its stable clientele base will enable the SC to further enhance its business in the near term. Being a small company, the SC's business operation is supported by 10 employees. Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is average. This indicates that the SC has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the SC.


We noted that both the turnover and profits have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to increase in turnover and better control over its operating costs. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was at an acceptable range which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The SC managed to maintain an adequate liquidity level, indicating that the SC has the ability to meet its financial obligations. 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 MYR 3,658,443, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


Overall, the SC's payment habit is good as the SC has a good credit control and it could be taking advantage of the cash discounts while maintaining a good reputation with its creditors.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Hence, the SC is expected to benefit from the favourable outlook of the industry.


Based on the above condition, we recommend credit be granted to the SC normally.
