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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 

 

Profitability

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turnover

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The SC's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. 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 SC had a favourable creditors' ratio where 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's interest cover was slightly low. If there is no sharp fall in its profit or sudden increase in the interest rates, we believe the SC is able to generate sufficient income to service its interest and repay the loans. 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 had an acceptable interest cover. If there is no sudden sharp increase in interest rate or fall in the SC's profit, we do believe the SC is able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its interest payment. 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall financial condition of the SC : FAIR

The domestic wholesale trade index grew by 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2012, an improvement from the 5.4% decline in the third quarter.

The foreign wholesale trade index grew by 8.6% in the fourth quarter, an increase from the 6.6% growth in the third quarter.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 1978, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on trading of chemical products, raw materials, act as service company to its holding company and related company. With experiences for about 36 years in the industry, the SC's operation has been running relatively stable since it has built up a relatively sound and stable clientele base which has contributed to its business growth. Having strong support from its shareholder has enabled the SC to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment. The SC has strong capital position.


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 480 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.


The SC's business performance showed a reverse trend as both its turnover and pre-tax profit have decreased compared to the previous year. 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 USD 557,000,000, 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.


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.
