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.

The shrinking turnover could be the result of more entrants into the
market which eroded the Subject's market share.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. |

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 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 had no gearing and
hence it had virtually no financial risk. The Subject was financed by its
shareholders' funds and internally generated fund. During the economic
downturn, the Subject, having a zero gearing, will be able to compete better
than those which are highly geared in the same industry. |

Overall Assessment : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Subject's performance deteriorated over the years with lower
turnover and profit. 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
was a zero gearing company, it was solely dependant on its shareholders to
provide funds to finance its business. The Subject has good chance of getting
loans, if the needs arises. |

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH |
|
|
Incorporated in 2007, the Subject is a Private
Limited company, focusing on trading of fertilizers, energy, steel and ores.
Having been in business for 7 years, the Subject has established a remarkable
clientele base for itself which has contributed to its business growth.
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. 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. However, 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 zero geared company, the Subject virtually has
no financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance
its business. Given a positive net worth standing at USD 8,575,050, the
Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms. 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. We regard that the Subject's overall
payment habit is prompt. The Subject had a favourable creditors' ratio as
evidenced by its favourable collection days. 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 promptly. |
