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 higher turnover could be attributed to
the favourable market condition and the SC could be gaining the market share progressively.The
SC could be more efficient in controlling its operating costs and had managed
to reduce its losses during the year. The SC's unfavourable returns on
shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its
assets to generate returns. |

As the SC is a service oriented company,
the SC does not need to keep stocks. The SC's debtors ratio was high. The SC
should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. 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's interest cover was low. If its profits
fall or when interest rate rises, it may not be able to meet all its interest
payment. 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 : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The higher turnover had helped to reduce the
SC's losses. 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. If there
is a fall in the SC's profit or any increase in interest rate, the SC may not
be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. 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. |

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%. |

OVERALL INDUSTRY
OUTLOOK : MATURE |
|
Incorporated in 2004, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on
manufacture of water treatment, waste treatment and oilfield chemicals; manufacture
and repair of water/waste water treatment equipment. Having been in business
for more than 5 years, the SC has established a remarkable clientele base for
itself which has contributed to its business growth. Presently, issued and paid
up capital of the SC stand at SGD1,953,211.
Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is weak. Without capable
management, the SC is unlikely to be successful and often contribute to
unacceptable levels of accountability. Weak management can affect productivity,
profitability, sales growth and ultimately can result in the failure of a
business.
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. 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.
Without a strong assets backing, the SC may face difficulties in getting loans
for its future expansion and continued growth.
The poor payment habit may affect the goodwill between the SC and its suppliers
and the SC may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.
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 unfavourable condition, we regard granting credit to the SC
to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
