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. NAJIB's Economic Transformation Program (ETP) is a series of projects and policy measures intended to accelerate the country's economic growth. The government has also taken steps to liberalize some services sub-sectors. 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 about 35% of government revenue in 2011. Bank Negera Malaysia (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

:

Increased

[

2008 - 2011

]

 

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

2008 - 2011

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

1.48%

]

 

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

1.84%

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the SC was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

24 Days

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC kept adequate stocks to meet its normal business transactions without incurring excessive storage costs. 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liquidity

:

Favourable

[

]

 

Current Ratio

:

Favourable

[

6.07 Times

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

:

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the year. 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Generally, the SC's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. 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 did not make any interest payment during the year. The SC was dependent on its shareholders' funds to finance its business needs. 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 : FAIR

Export oriented-industries are expected to benefit from the higher growth of global trade, while domesticoriented industries expand in line with the better consumer sentiment and business confidence. The resource-based industries are envisaged to grow steadily attributed to improved demand for petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products. With better job prospects and higher disposable income, the transportation equipment subsector, in particular, the passenger car segment is expected to expand.

 

Value-added of the manufacturing sector expanded 5% during the first half of 2012. Output of the sector rose 5.2% during the first sevenmonths of 2012 in line with the increase in sales value of manufactured products by 6.5% to RM363.1 billion. Output from domesticoriented industries continued to expand 8.6% while export-oriented industries grew 4.1%.

 

According to the Department of Statistics, the sales value of the Manufacturing sector in January 2013 posted a growth of 7.4% (RM3.6 billion) to record RM52.4 billion as compared to RM48.8 billion reported in year 2012. Meanwhile, month-on-month basis, the sales value has decreased by 0.4% (RM0.2 billion) as compared with the preceding month. The sales value in December 2012 has been revised positive 7.5% year-on-year to record RM52.6 billion.

 

Output of rubber products increased 3.6% in the first seven month of 2012 mainly supported by continuous demand for rubber gloves. Output of rubber gloves grew 5.9% on account of the expansion in the global healthcare industry and wider usage of gloves in other sectors. Similarly, output of catheters, especially for use in medical appliances, also registered a strong growth of 12.6%. Nevertheless, production of rubber tyres and tubes reduced 10.9% in tandem with slowing external demand from the automotive industry, especially China.

 

Meanwhile, production of wood and wood products rebounded 4.6% largely supported by higher demand for wooden and cane furniture (33.5%). The positive performance was attributed to vibrant higher demand from major export destinations such as China and the United States (US) for Malaysian-made furniture. Demand from China accelerated further following the country's rising income level and the implementation of zero import duty on Malaysian made-furniture. Malaysia government has growth target of 6.5% for wood based furniture where estimated to reach up to RM53 billion by year 2020.The government providing pioneer status for tax exemption and investment tax allowance for this industry as a boost up step towards produce good quality product and to meet the world demand.

 

The output of chemicals and chemical products rose 9.9% in the first seven month of year 2012 on account of increasing demand for plastic products (11.8%) and basic chemicals (11.1%). External demand for plastic packaging materials surged during the early part of the year 2012, particularly from Japan and Thailand, as manufacturers resumed operations, which were interrupted by natural calamities and power outages. Chemical production are expected to show 7.5 % in year 2013 inline with Malaysia as one of the largest contributor in world Chemicals & Chemical industries.

 

Tax and non-tax incentives provided by goverment encourage manufacturers to move up the value chain of manufacturing industry. The new growth initiatives by goverment in the manufacturing sector such assolar and medial services can be important drivers of growth apart from helping to diversify the manufacturing base and contributing to the resilience of the sector.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

Incorporated in 1931, the SC is a Foreign company, focusing on manufacture of canned pineapples and pineapple juices. 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.


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. The SC is a fairly large and rapidly growing company with over 350 staff in its 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.


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 low range which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. 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. 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. Given a positive net worth standing at SGD 781,640,603, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


We noted that the SC's supplies are solely sourced from local market. Being highly dependent on a limited number of suppliers could lead to delays, lost of revenue and increased costs if such resources become unavailable or shortage.

 

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.
