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 Subject's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the Subject was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The Subject's debtors ratio was high. The Subject should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. 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'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 highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The Subject was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the Subject will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the Subject has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the Subject's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall Assessment :

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Subject recorded lower profits as its turnover showed a erratic trend. The Subject's management was unable to control its costs efficiently as its profit showed a downward trend. 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 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's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

46692 : Wholesale of fertilizers and agrochemical products

 

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

 

 

 

According to the Retail Group Malaysia (RGM), the wholesale and retail trade sector forecast to grow to 6% in year 2013. During the first quarter of year 2013, RGM is estimating the retail industry to grow 6.9%. Many retailers have been enjoying better sales since the government handed out cash from mid-January of 2013 under the second round of Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia to more than 12 million Malaysians. Bookstores and related retail stores have also started enjoying rising sales since the RM250 1Malaysia Book Voucher was distributed to 1.3 million private and public university students. Besides, since early February 2013, handphone traders and retailers selling smartphone accessories have started to benefit from the RM200 rebate on smartphones for 1.5 million young adults aged between 21 and 30 years with a monthly income of not more than RM3,000.

 

The wholesale and retail trade sector grew 6.1% in the first half of the year 2012 driven by strong domestic consumption and the increasing number of large format stores operating in Malaysia, including 180 foreign hypermarkets, superstores and departmental stores as at end of August 2012. In addition, other indicators such as imports of consumption goods were higher by 15.2%.

 

In 2012, the wholesale and retail trade sector growth to 5.5% driven by higher consumption which benefited from Government initiatives under the 2012 Budget such as BR1M, Baucar Buku 1Malaysia (BB1M) and the RM100 assistance for all primary and secondary school students. The performance of the sector will also be supported by ongoing efforts to modernise the retail segment under the ETP. In 2012, 500 retail shops and 50 workshops are targeted to be modernised under the Retail Shop Transformation (TUKAR) and Automotive Workshop Modernisation (ATOM) programmes, respectively. As at end of July 2012, 95 workshops have been modernised, surpassing the yearly target, while 393 retail shops have been modernised.

 

Growth of the sector is anticipated to remain encouraging with ongoing efforts by the Government to increase its contribution to the economy. Major initiatives include increasing the number of large format stores such as hypermarkets, superstores and departmental stores are carried out to boost the economy.

 

Over 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is contributed by domestic consumption, therefore the wholesale and retail sector plays a crucial role in driving Malaysia's growth over the next decade despite the ongoing global economic slowdown. By 2020, Malaysia's wholesale and retail sector is expected to boost the country's total Gross National Income (GNI) by RM156 billion, creating 454,190 new jobs.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 2007, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on trading in fertilizers. Having been in business for 7 years, the Subject has established a remarkable clientele base for itself which has contributed to its business growth. 

Over the years, the Subject should have build up its clientele base and received supports from its regular customers. Investigation revealed that the Subject's interest lies mostly in the local market. Thus, any adverse changes to the local economy might have a negative impact on the Subject's business performance. 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. This indicates that the Subject has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the Subject. 

The Subject's business performance showed a reverse trend as both its turnover and pre-tax profit have decreased compared to the previous year. 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. The high gearing ratio clearly implied that the Subject was supported by more debt than equity. Given a positive net worth standing at MYR 2,112,483, 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. 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. 

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.
