The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The dip in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced the SC's profit margin. Generally the SC was profitable. The favourable return on shareholders' funds and return on net assets indicate that the SC's management was efficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

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.

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the SC in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the SC was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the SC is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

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 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the SC's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the SC's profit margin. The SC was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. 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 :

MANUFACTURING

 

 

 

 

 

 


The manufacturing sector expanded by 5.1% in the third quarter ended September 30,2011 on a year-on-year basis as supply-chain disruptions were reduced and following higher output of domestic-related industries as well as a weaker external environment. Investments in Malaysia's manufacturing sector reached RM40.7 billion in the first 10 months of 2011 and the full-year figure is expected to surpass year 2010's numbers.

 


The E&E sub-sector is expected to moderate in the second half of 2011, due to the increasingly uncertain external environment. Output of E&E contracted 4.9% during the first seven months of 2011 largely due to the global supply chain disruptions and lower global chip sales. Lower orders for notebooks and personal computers arising from increased preference for smartphones and media tables coupled with uncertainties over the US and European economies, adversely affected the sub-sector.

 


The wood and wood products sub-sector, on the other hand, is expected to rebound when Japan's reconstruction efforts gain momentum and new housing projects start in the Middle East after the month of Ramadhan in the year 2011. Production of wood and wood products contracted 7% during the first half of the year 2011, largely due to slower output of wooden and cane furniture as well as veneer sheets and plywood. 

 


The rubber products sub-sector is expected to remain resilient supported by continuous improvements in medical and healthcare standards in emerging markets as well as demand from niche markets such as the oil and gas sector for rubber hoses. Output of rubber products increased 15.4% during the first seven months of 2011, supported by continuos demand for rubber gloves as well as rubber tyres and tubes. 

 


For the textiles, apparel and footwear sub-sector, the local industry players's ability to produce quality designs and diversification of product lines to cater to different market segments as well as market under their own labels are expected to sustain the growth of this sub-sector. Furthermore, the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games is anticipated to boost demand for sports attire and strengthen the sub-sector's growth further. Production of textiles, apparel and foorwear grew 14.8% during the first half of the year 2011 led by higher output of wearing apparel and footwear.

 


During the first seven months of 2011, production of chemicals and chemical products rose 5.6%. While output of basic chemicals contracted 8.2%, other chemical and plastic products recorded a positive growth of 30% and 20.7% respectively. On the domestic front, output of construction related materials as a group grew strongly by 20% following robust housing construction activities and aided by ongoing implementation of civil engineering projects. The manufacture of transport equipment shrank 9.4% as a result of supply chain disruptions caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. In addition, production of food rose 2.4% driven by the manufacture of refined palm oil processed and preserved fish products and other food products. Specifically, production of beverages increased 12.6% while tobacco declined 2.3%

 


Going forward, the manufacturing sector is expected to be driven by higher value-added activities. In this regard, further tax and non-tax incentives will be provided to encourage manufacturers to move up the value chain. The new growth initiatives in the manufacturing sector such as solar and medial services would be important drivers of growth apart from helping to diversify the manufacturing base and contributing to the resilience of the sector.

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 1997, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on manufacturing of petrochemicals. With its long establishment in the market, the SC has received strong support from its stable customers base. Its business position in the market is quite stable and it is expected to enjoy better market shares over its rivals. Having strong support from its shareholder has enabled the SC to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment. The SC is a large entity with strong capital position. We are confident with the SC's business and its future growth prospect.


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. With the contribution of both local and overseas customers, the SC is likely to be exposed to lower commercial risk. Hence, we believe that the SC has better business expansion opportunities in the future. Being a large entity, the SC has a steady workforce of 610 personnel to support its business operations. Its future prospects seem to be fairly good as its business operations are running relatively stable. The SC has a good management capability. Its capable management team has enabled the SC to keep its business on going. Hence, the future prospect of the SC is bright.


Financially, the SC registered a higher turnover compared to previous year. However, its profits showed a reverse trend. The SC has generated a favourable return based on its existing shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The SC is in good liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by it current assets. Hence, it has sufficient working capital to meet its short term 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 1,210,213,000, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


Having a strong assets backing, the SC possesses latent assets as collateral for further financial extension. Hence, it has good chance of getting loans if the needs arises. The SC's supplier are from both the local and overseas countries. This will eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials. Overall the SC has a good control over its resources.


We regard that the SC's overall payment habit is prompt. The SC had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days.


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.


In view of the above favourable condition, we recommend credit be proceeded to the SC with favourable term.
