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 increase in turnover could be due to
the SC adopting an aggressive marketing strategy.The management had succeeded
in turning the SC into a profit making company. The profit could be due to
better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its
resources. Generally the SC was profitable. The favourable return on
shareholders' funds and return on net assets indicate that the SC's
management was efficient in utilising the 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 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. |

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 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. |

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. 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. |

INDUSTRY : |
ECONOMY |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to Ministry of Trade and
Industry (MTI), the Singapore economy is expected to grow by 1.0 to 3.0% in
2013 as growth in the global economy is likely to remain subdued despite
macroeconomic conditions stablising in recent months of 2013. |
|
|
|
|
|
However, the global economic outlook is
still clouded with uncertainties. Notably, concerns remain over the extent of
the fiscal cutback with the budget sequester in the US and potential flareup
of the debt crisis in the Eurozone. Should any of these risks materialise,
Singapore's economic growth could come in lower than expected. |
|
|
|
|
|
Although resilient domestic demand in
emerging Asia will provide some support to global demand, it will not fully
mitigate the effects of an economic slowdown in the advanced economies.
Consequently, Singapore's externally-oriented sectors such as electronics and
wholesale trade will continue to perform poorly, while the financial services
sector will be affected by heightened uncertainties in the external environment.
Nevertheless, there will be some modest support to growth from the biomedical
manufacturing cluster and tourism-related sectors. The former will likely see
increased production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and biologics while
the latter will benefit from rising visitor arrivals from the region. |
|
|
|
|
|
For the whole of 2012, Singapore's GDP
growth slowed to 1.3%, from 5.2% in 2011, mainly due to weakness in the
externally-oriented sectors. Manufacturing sector growth slowed sharply from 7.8%
in the year 2011 to 0.1%. The hudge decline was largely due to a rebound in
the output of the biomedical manufacturing and transport engineering
clusters, which together helped to mitigate part of the fall in output in the
electronics cluster. By contrast, the construction sector growth accelerated
from 6.3% to 8.2% in 2012, due to the expansion in both public and private
building activities. |
|
|
|
|
|
Growth in the services producing
industries also moderated to 1.2% in 2012, compared to 4.6% in 2011. This was
mainly due to the slowdown in wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and
food services as well as other services industries. In particular, the
wholesale and retail trade sector contracted by 0.7%, compared to the 1.6%
growth in year 2011. The accommodation and food services as well as other
services industries posted lower gains of 2.8% and 0.1% respectively,
compared to 8.2% and 6.3% in 2011. |
|
|
|
|
|
For the whole of 2012, all sectors, except
the wholesale and retail trade, contributed to growth. Business services was
the largest contributor with 0.4 percentage-points, followed by construction
with 0.3 percentage-points and transportation and storage at 0.2
percentagepoints. Besides, growth in total demand moderated to 2.4%, compared
to 4.2% in 2011. Domestic demand was the key contributor to total demand
growth, accounting for 2.2 percentage-points, or over 90 per cent, of the
increase. |
|
|
|
|
|
In 2012, total domestic demand rose by
9.7%, following the 6.5% increase in 2011. The growth in total domestic
demand was broad-based across consumption, gross fixed capital formation
(GFCF) and changes in inventories. The total consumption expenditure in 2012
grew slightly by 0.9%, easing from the 3.7% growth in 2011. Public
consumption expenditure fell by 3.6%, reversing the 0.5% growth in 2011.
Private consumption expenditure registered a 2.2% gain, moderating from the
4.6% increase in the preceding year. |
|
|
|
|
|
Overall, the Singapore economy is expected
to grow by 1.0 to 3.0% in 2013. |

OVERALL INDUSTRY
OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH |
|
Incorporated in 2004, the SC
is a Private Limited company, focusing on captive insurance. Having been in
business for 9 years, the SC has established a remarkable clientele base for
itself which has contributed to its business growth. Having strong support from
its holding company has enabled the SC to remain competitive despite the
challenging business environment. The capital standing of the SC is fair. With
an adequate share capital, the SC has the potential of expanding its business
in future.
The SC has a good management capability. Its
capable management team has enabled the SC to keep its business on going.
Hence, the future prospect of the SC is bright.
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. Based on the
higher profitability, the SC has generated a favourable return based on its
existing shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient
in utilising its funds to generate income. 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 AUD 15,884,879, 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
prompt. The SC had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable
collection days.
The industry has reached its maturity stage and
only enjoying a marginal growth. The steady growth of the country's economy
will further enhance the industry activities. With the SC's favourable
conditions, it should have acquired competitive edge from its competitors.
In view of the above favourable condition, we
recommend credit be proceeded to the SC with favourable term.
