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'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.

The
SC's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the SC's
working capital was slightly deficient. The SC will have to improve its
liquidity position either by obtaining short term financing or increase its
paid up capital so that it can 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 highly geared, thus it had
a high financial risk. The SC was dependent on loans to finance its
business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate,
the SC will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the
same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the SC has to
service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its
profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the SC's turnover and the
interest it needs to pay.

|
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's liquidity was at an acceptable
range. If the SC is able to obtain further short term financing, it should
be able to meet all 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's gearing level
was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of
additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high
interest rates.

TRADING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The wholesale and retail trade sector grew 7.1% in the first half of the year
2011 supported by strong consumer spending amid favourable labour market
conditions and sustained disposable income. This was reflected in the
higher distributive trade index which increased 15.9%, with wholesale and
retail trade indices increasing 19.2% and 7.8%, respectively.
|
|
It is anticipated that the retail industry will grow 6.0 per cent in the
year 2012.
|
|
Malaysia's retail sector for 2011 is expected to grow 6 per cent or RM81.59
billion worth of retail sales, similar to the year 2010, due to concerns of
high oil prices, declining purchasing power and high cost of doing
business. The Middle East and North Africa civil wars have caused the world
oil prices to climb. This has led to further rise in the cost of running
retail businesses, especially in terms of transportation cost. Many
retailers have no choice but to pass the increased cost to end consumers.
At the same time, natural disasters (tsunamis, floods, droughts, snow
storms, tornadoes and earthquakes) that occurred in all parts of the world
has also led to a shortage in the supply of food and raw materials. The
phenomenon has pushed retail prices up.In addition, the continual removal
of government subsidies since 2010 has pushed inflation upwards.
Consequently, rising prices of retail goods contributed to an expectation
of moderate performance.
|
|
During the first seven months of 2011, other consumption indicators such as
imports of consumption goods and credit card spending increased 12.8% and
11.8%, respectively. Sales of motor vehicles declined 3% on account of
supply chain disruptions following devastating March 2011 earthquake and
tsunami in Japan.
|
|
Growth of the sector is anticipated to remain encouraging with ongoing
efforts by the Government to increase its contribution to the economy.
Major initiatives include increasing the number of large format stores such
as hypermarkets, superstores and departmental stores are carried out to
boost the economy.
|
|
Meanwhile, the Government has introduced the Retail Shop Transformation
(TUKAR) programme. Under this programme, selected large format retailers
will assist small retailers to improve their premises and layout which
include attractive product display shelves, enhanced lighting and
point-of-sales system to manage product inventory,

CREDIT
RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION
|
Incorporated in 1990, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on procurement
of raw materials, marketing of electrical conductivity grade copper wires,
rods. 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 holding company 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.
|
|
Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is average.
|
|
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 high gearing
ratio clearly implied that the SC was supported by more debt than equity.
Thus, the SC is exposed to high financial risk. The SC however managed to
maintain an adequate liquidity level, indicating that the SC has the
ability to meet its financial obligations. Given a positive net worth
standing at MYR 86,860,914, 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.
|
|
We regard that the SC's overall payment habit is fair. With poor financial
condition, the SC may unable to pay its creditors on the given period of
time.
|
|
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
normally.
