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	:	Increased	[	2010 - 2012	]
Profit/(Loss) Before Tax	:	Decreased	[	2010 - 2012	]
Return on Shareholder Funds	:	Acceptable	[	10.76%	]
Return on Net Assets	:	Acceptable	[	12.31%	]
The Subject's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The Subject's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. The Subject's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.
Working Capital Control
Stock Ratio	:	Favourable	[	7 Days	]
Debtor Ratio	:	Favourable	[	43 Days	]
Creditors Ratio	:	Favourable	[	46 Days	]
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 Subject had a favourable creditors' ratio where the Subject could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.
Liquidity
Liquid Ratio	:	Acceptable	[	0.96 Times	]
Current Ratio	:	Unfavourable	[	1.05 Times	]
The Subject's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the Subject's working capital was slightly deficient. The Subject 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.
Solvency
Interest Cover	:	Acceptable	[	9.85 Times	]
Gearing Ratio	:	Favourable	[	0.72 Times	]
The Subject'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 Subject is able to generate sufficient income to service its interest and repay the loans. 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 Subject's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the Subject's profit margin. The Subject's liquidity was at an acceptable range. If the Subject is able to obtain further short term financing, it should be able to meet all its short term obligations. The Subject had an acceptable interest cover. If there is no sudden sharp increase in interest rate or fall in the Subject's profit, we do believe the Subject is able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its interest payment. 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 : FAIR

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

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

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

Incorporated in 2007, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on acting as the regional headquarter for the holding company and its related group of companies in the asia pacific region. Having been in business for more than 5 years, the Subject has established a remarkable clientele base for itself which has contributed to its business growth. Strongly supported by its well-established holding company, the Subject is expected to enjoy timely financial and technical support should the needs arise. 

Over the years, the Subject has penetrated into both the local and overseas market. The Subject has positioned itself in the global market and is competing in the industry. Its stable clientele base will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term. The Subject is a fairly large and rapidly growing company with over 300 staff in its 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. 

Financially, the Subject registered a higher turnover compared to previous year. However, its profits showed a reverse trend. The lower profit achieved was a result of higher operating cost and increased competition. 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 managed to maintain an adequate liquidity level, indicating that the Subject has the ability to meet its financial obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the Subject 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 486,297,000, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms. 

Overall, the Subject's payment habit is good as the Subject 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 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. Thus, the Subject's future performance is very much depend on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market. 

Based on the above condition, we recommend credit be granted to the Subject normally.
