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.

|
OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH |
|
|
Incorporated in 2003, the Subject is an
Exempt Private company, focusing on trading in timber and wood products.
Having been in the industry for over a decade, the Subject has achieved a
certain market share and has built up a satisfactory reputation in the
market. It should have received supports from its regular customers. With a
weak shareholders' backing, the Subject's capital position is weak.
Inadequate capital may be a constraint to the Subject as it limits its
ability to expand its business in future. The Subject focuses only on overseas
market. This global approach has enabled the Subject to generate a better
growth sales. Being an export-oriented company, the Subject however is
subjected to certain inherent risk of global economy slowdown, foreign
currencies fluctuations and stiff competition in the international market.
Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 6
employees. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is
average. As the Subject is registered as an Exempt
Private company, it is not required to file financial statements for public
review. As such, we are unable to ascertain its present financial health. Investigation revealed that the Subject's
supplies are 100% sourced from overseas countries. As an imported oriented
company, its forex exposure is high. The Subject faces foreign currency
fluctuation which may affect its overall operating costs. The industry shows an upward trend and
this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Hence, the Subject is
expected to benefit from the favourable outlook of the industry. However, we
are of the opinion that there are a large number of other companies in the
same industry. In another word, we believe that the Subject faces stiff
competitions from other local players. In view of the above, we only recommend
credit be proceeded to the Subject with guarantee. |
