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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 

Profitability

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turnover

:

Erratic

[

2009 - 2011

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

Return on Net Assets

:

Acceptable

[

20.79%

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The dip in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced the SC's profit margin. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

As the SC is a service oriented company, the SC does not need to keep 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.

Current Ratio

:

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC recorded lower profits as its turnover showed a erratic trend. The SC's management was unable to control its costs efficiently as its profit showed a downward trend. 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 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 arises.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall financial condition of the SC : STRONG

According to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA),the total industry volume (TIV) for first half 2012 was 301,224 units against 297,203 of first half 2011. This is an increase of 1.4% compared to first half 2012.The implimentation of the Bank Negara's guidelines on responsible financing practices from 1st January 2012 coused a slowdown in new vehicle purchase in first quarter 2012. However the market faced growth since April 2012 due to adjustment to the stricter requirements of the hire purchase loans application process.


Sales of passenger vehicles in the first half 2012 decreaced by a very small margin of 0.8% to 250,208 units compared to 252,200 units at the first half 2011. The decreace caused by lower prodcution volume of the passenger cars due to Thailands flood and distruction in Japanese supply chain. Sales of comercial vehicles in the first half 2012 increased by 50.3% to 31 852 units compared to 21,199 units at the first half 2012.


The TIV for second half 2012 forcasted 615 000 units against 600 123 of second half 2011. This is an increase of 2.5% compared to second half 2011. Sales of passenger vehicles in the second half 2012 forcasted increase by 2.2% to 547 000 units compared to 535113 units at the second half 2011. While sales of comercial vehicles in the second half 2012 forcasted to increase by 4.6% to 68 000 units compared to 65 010 units at the second half 2012.


Second half of 2012 could be challeging , where the world economy faces significants challenges due to the eurozone crisis and expected to slow down for the second half 2012 where would affect customer spending trend. But the government incentives towards robust motor vechicle industry expected to rose in the end of 2012 due to positif customer sentiment, the introdution of new models of vechiles, a longer working month and the extension of tax incentives for hybrids and electric vehicles to December 2013 under Budget 2012.

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

Incorporated in 2008, the SC is a Foreign company, focusing on trading of chemicals, steel, iron, parts for cars and other related products. The SC's Headquater is based in Japan. Having been in the industry for only 4 years, the SC is growing fast with a paid up capital of USD 225,101,415. Such a favourable paid up capital enables the SC to expand its business comfortably in future. 


Although the SC has been in the business for only 4 years, it has established an extensive marketing network to support its business operation. Apart from supplying its products to the local market, the SC has broaden its reach and penetrated into the Asia and Europe market. Such wide market coverage has minimised its business risk. Being a moderate size company, the SC has a total workforce of 60 employees in its business operations. 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.


Financially, the SC registered a higher turnover compared to previous year. However, its profits showed a reverse trend. The lower profit achieved was a result of higher operating cost and increased competition. 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 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 zero geared company, the SC virtually has no financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business. Given a positive net worth standing at MYR 75,508,250, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


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.


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 has reached its optimum level and is generally stable. It is saturated and very competitive. With the SC's strong capital background, it should have acquired competitive edge from its competitors.


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