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 hu

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The Subject incurred losses during the year due to the inefficient control of its operating costs. The Subject's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets to generate returns.

As the Subject is a service oriented company, the Subject does not need to keep 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.

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 Subject incurred losses in the year. It did not generate sufficient income to service its interest.  If the situation does not improve, the Subject may be vulnerable to default in servicing the interest. 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 :

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Subject's losses increased but its turnover showed a  fluctuating trend. This indicate the Subject was slowly losing its market share due to its competitors. 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. The Subject's interest cover was negative, indicating that it did not generate sufficient income to service its interest. If its result does not show impressive improvements or succeed obtaining short term financing or capital injection, it may not be able to service its interest and repay the loans. 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 INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

 


 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2000, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on wholesale of chemical fertilisers. 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. Having strong support from its holding company has enabled the Subject to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment. The capital standing of the Subject is fair. With an adequate share capital, the Subject has the potential of expanding its business in future.

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. Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 15 employees. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average.

Due to the challenging market conditions, the Subject's business performance seems to be deteriorating and losses incurred. The Subject has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. 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. 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 17,539,527, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.

Having a strong assets backing, the Subject possesses latent assets as collateral for further financial extension. Hence, it has good chance of getting loans if the needs arises.

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 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.

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