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 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 SC's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets to generate returns.

The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. 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 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 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 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.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

23921 : Manufacture of non-refractory ceramic

 

 

INDUSTRY :

CONSTRUCTION

 

 

 


Construction industry expected to play a vital role by contribution of 7%to the GDP growth in 2012 . The productivity levels of the construction anticipated to grow by 5.6% in 2012, compared with 3.09% 2011 . The Government and the private sector work together in order to achieve this target. Malaysia's economy was expected to sustain its growth momentum in 2012, with productivity growing by more than 4%, driven by the construction.


The productivity levels of the construction and services sectors are anticipated to grow by 5.6% and 4.9%, respectively, in 2012, compared with 3.09% and 4.92% year 2011.


The construction sector expected turns to grow eventhough local players be presured by eurozone crisis, slowdown in China's economy and less robust construction activities in the developed countries due to goverment new projects. Growth in the construction sector more than doubled to 6.4%, led mainly by the residential and civil engineering sub-sectors construction at first quarter 2012.


The acceleration of government project such as the remaining contracts for six packages of the elevated portion of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line, the RM7 billion West Coast Expressway (WCE), the RM7 billion electrified double tracking (EDT) from Gemas to Johor Baru and the RM30 billion Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE),easily increase job oppurtunity in year 2012. 


Major infrastructure improvements in the Klang Valley such as the MRT (My Rapid Transit), River Rehabilitation and covered walkway projects are expected to boost property prices.


This sector estimate get no less than RM20 billion at the end of year 2012. The sector started strongly with RM5.9 billion job wins in the first quarter 2012, which was already 74.5 per cent of the total RM7.9 billion awarded at the year 2011. Government would progressively award contracts over the local players at third quarter 2012, to ensure the projects completed by July 2017. The construction sector is likely to have a banner year at year 2012 with up to RM20 billion worth of jobs to be awarded.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

 

Incorporated in 1980, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on manufacturer of ceramic floor tiles. The SC has been in business for over two decades. It has built up a strong clientele base and satisfactory 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 SC is well backed by a listed company shareholders which would stimulate further growth for the SC. Hence, the potential growth of the SC is positive. 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 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 large entity, the SC has a steady workforce of 1000 personnel to support its business operations. Its future prospects seem to be fairly good as its business operations are running relatively stable. 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 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 68,352,747, 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 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 promptly.
