SINGAPORE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in consumer electronics, information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and on a growing financial services sector. Real GDP growth averaged 8.6% between 2004 and 2007. The economy contracted 0.8% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but rebounded 14.8% in 2010, on the strength of renewed exports, before slowing to 5.2% in 2011 and 1.3% in 2012, largely a result of soft demand for exports during the second European recession. Over the longer term, the government hopes to establish a new growth path that focuses on raising productivity, which has sunk to an average of about 1.0% in the last decade. Singapore has attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology production and will continue efforts to establish Singapore as Southeast Asia's financial and high-tech hub

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The SC incurred losses during the year due to the inefficient control of its operating costs. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the SC was inefficient in utilising its 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 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.

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 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the SC's turnover increased its profits however showed a reverse trend. The losses could be due to the management's failure to maintain its competitiveness in the market. 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. 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 ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING

 

 

 

The manufacturing sector contracted by 1.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012, led by declines in the electronics and precision engineering clusters. These clusters were weighed down by weak global demand for semiconductors and semiconductor-related equipment. For the whole year of 2012, the manufacturing sector grew by 0.1%, significantly lower than the 7.8% recorded in 2011 when the sector was boosted by a surge in the growth of the biomedical manufacturing cluster.

 

Output of the biomedical manufacturing cluster grew by 2.4% in the fourth quarter. The expansion was driven by the medical technology segment which grew by a healthy 9.2%, benefitting from robust export demand for medical devices. The pharmaceuticals segment also grew by a modest 1.1%. For 2012, the biomedical manufacturing cluster expanded by 9.9%.

 

Output of the transport engineering cluster expanded by 4.9% in the fourth quarter. The aerospace segment grew by 6.2%, supported by higher demand for repair jobs from commercial airlines. Similarly, the marine & offshore engineering segment expanded by 5.0%, on the back of higher contributions from oil rig projects and oilfield equipment components. In the year 2012, the transport engineering cluster surged by 11%.

 

The output of the precision engineering cluster shrank by 1.3% in the fourth quarter. The decline was led by the 5.3% contraction in the machinery & systems segment, which saw weak export demand for semiconductor-related equipment. On the other hand, the precision modules & components segment grew by 2.9%, supported by higher production of optical instruments & photographic equipment and electronic connectors. In 2012, the precision engineering cluster expanded by 1.3%.

 

The general manufacturing cluster's output grew by 1.2% in the fourth quarter, driven by the 6.4% growth in the miscellaneous industries segment. The segment's growth was supported by higher production of batteries and constructionrelated materials. By contrast, the printing and food, beverages & tobacco segments declined by 6.4% and 1.3% respectively. For 2012, the general manufacturing cluster grew by 2.0%.

 

The chemicals cluster's output grew by 7.7% in the fourth quarter. The petrochemicals and petroleum segments registered growth of 9.3% and 6.3% respectively, partly due to the low base from plant shutdowns in end of 2011. The specialty chemicals segment also expanded by 8.0% on the back of higher regional demand. For the year 2012, the chemicals cluster declined by 0.4%, primarily due to weak regional demand for specialty chemicals in the second and third quarter of 2012.

 

Output of the electronics cluster contracted by 10% in the fourth quarter, led by the semiconductors and computer peripherals segments which contracted by 13% and 15% respectively. By contrast, the data storage segment grew by 7.8%, mainly due to the low base in end of 2011 when floods in Thailand had disrupted the supply chain for data storage products. For the whole of 2012, the electronics cluster contracted by 11%.

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 


Incorporated in 1988, the SC is a Public Listed company, focusing on manufacturing of food products, investment holding. 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. Having strong support from its shareholders has enabled the SC to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment. The SC has strong capital position. We are confident with the SC's business and its future growth prospect.

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.

Despite the higher turnover, the SC suffered pre-tax losses which reflected a highly competitive business environment. The SC has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. 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 SGD 252,175,000, 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.

The SC's payment habit is average. With its adequate working capital, the SC should be able to pay its short term debts.

The industry has reached its optimum level and is generally stable. It is saturated and very competitive. Thus, the SC's growth prospect is very much depends on its capacity in sustaining its performance in the market.

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