MALAYSIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Malaysia, a middle-income country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Under current Prime Minister NAJIB, Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in Islamic finance, high technology industries, biotechnology, and services. NAJIB's Economic Transformation Program (ETP) is a series of projects and policy measures intended to accelerate the country's economic growth. The government has also taken steps to liberalize some services sub-sectors. The NAJIB administration also is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economy's dependence on exports. Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics, oil and gas, palm oil and rubber - remain a significant driver of the economy. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has profited from higher world energy prices, although the rising cost of domestic gasoline and diesel fuel, combined with sustained budget deficits, has forced Kuala Lumpur to begin to address fiscal shortfalls, through initial reductions in energy and sugar subsidies and the announcement of the 2015 implementation of a 6% goods and services tax. The government is also trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplies about 32% of government revenue in 2013. Bank Negara Malaysia (central bank) maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves, and a well-developed regulatory regime has limited Malaysia's exposure to riskier financial instruments and the global financial crisis. Nevertheless, Malaysia could be vulnerable to a fall in commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity because exports are a major component of GDP. In order to attract increased investment, NAJIB earlier raised possible revisions to the special economic and social preferences accorded to ethnic Malays under the New Economic Policy of 1970, but retreated in 2013 after he encountered significant opposition from Malay nationalists and other vested interests. In September 2013 NAJIB launched the new Bumiputra Economic Empowerment Program (BEEP), policies that favor and advance the economic condition of ethnic Malays.

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The Subject's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

The Subject'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 Subject. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the Subject taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the Subject and its suppliers and the Subject may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the Subject in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the Subject was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the Subject is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

The interest cover showed that the Subject was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the Subject was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. The Subject was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The Subject was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the Subject being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall Assessment :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the turnover was erratic, the Subject had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. The Subject was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the Subject should be able to repay its short term obligations. With the favourable interest cover, the Subject could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. The Subject 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 Subject : STRONG

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

31 : MANUFACTURE OF FURNITURE

 

 

INDUSTRY :

FURNITURE & FIXTURES

 

 

 

 

Malaysia's Furniture Manufacturing Industry has been blooming in recent years. Malaysia ranks comfortably as the 10th largest exporter of furniture in the world in 2014. It exports 80% of their total furniture production around the world. With existing strong export base like Japan, United States and Australia, the nation continues its tremendous growth towards Saudi Arabia, Philippines and Russia. Malaysia is believed to diversify their export base to countries like Algeria, Greece, Puerto Rico, Libya and other countries awaiting confirmation.

 

 

Increased demand from major export destinations such as the US, Japan and Australia for Malaysian made furniture contributed to the higher output of wooden and cane furniture, which rebounded by 2.2% in the first seven months of 2014. Thus, shipments of wood products rebounded by 4.7% in the same time mainly driven by export growth of wooden furniture (13.4%) to the US, Japan and Australia. Amid higher demand, exports of bedroom furniture and seats with wooden frame increased significantly by 21.6% and 15.2%. However, in 2013, Malaysia's furniture export decreased 8.1% compared to 2012. Furniture exports to the United States in 2013, which is the largest market, also recorded a decrease of 6.1% compared to 2012. This performance was nevertheless commendable, taking into account the slowdown in the global economy in 2013, especially in the United States and Euro zone countries.

 

 

Despite numerous economic downturns, the industry is still supported by a strong global demand. While lower priced Chinese and Vietnamese furniture pose strong competition, Malaysian furniture continues to set itself apart with original design that places importance on aesthetics as well as its good work ethics. The government also plays an important role in nurturing the industry. Providing Pioneer Status for tax exemption and Investment Tax Allowance, the pro-business environment makes doing business easier and faster. With a business-friendly environment, good quality products and a high potential market, the Malaysian furniture industry is poised to exceed expectations and to continue its exponential growth.

 

 

Conclusively, Malaysia has always been known for its wood based furniture, owing to its natural resources. The government has set an annual growth target of 6.5% for wood based furniture, estimated to reach up to RM53 billion by year 2020. In recent years, the growth has shifted from producing general products towards designing its own, and this has been the key in propelling Malaysia onto the international arena. Popular with overseas buyers of the middle to high category, foreign buyers look to Malaysia for manufacturers who can meet their high production demand.

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. A paid up capital of MYR 2,050,000 allows the Subject to expand its business more comfortably.

Over the years, the Subject has established an extensive clientele base in the market. Besides catering to the local market, the Subject has penetrated into other countries. With the contribution of both local and overseas customers, the Subject is likely to be exposed to lower commercial risk. Hence, we believe that the Subject has better business expansion opportunities in the future. Being a moderate size company, the Subject has a total workforce of 80 employees in its business operations. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average. This indicates that the Subject has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the Subject. 

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. Return on shareholders' funds of the Subject was at an acceptable range which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The Subject 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.

Given a positive net worth standing at MYR 4,471,690, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms. 

The Subject'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 Subject has a good control over its resources.
