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	[	2009 - 2013	]
Profit/(Loss) Before Tax	:	Increased	[	2009 - 2013	]
Return on Shareholder Funds	:	Unfavourable	[	9.48%	]
Return on Net Assets	:	Acceptable	[	10.50%	]
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 management have been efficient in controlling its operating costs. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the Subject was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.
Working Capital Control
Stock Ratio	:	Unfavourable	[	73 Days	]
Debtor Ratio	:	Favourable	[	42 Days	]
Creditors Ratio	:	Favourable	[	25 Days	]
The Subject could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. 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	:	Favourable	[	1.05 Times	]
Current Ratio	:	Unfavourable	[	1.82 Times	]
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.
Solvency
Interest Cover	:	Unfavourable	[	1.91 Times	]
Gearing Ratio	:	Unfavourable	[	1.32 Times	]
The Subject's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it  may not be able to meet all its interest payment. 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 :
Generally, the Subject's performance has improved with higher 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. If there is a fall in the Subject's profit or any increase in interest rate, the Subject may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. 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.
Overall financial condition of the Subject : LIMITED

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

Incorporated in 1995, the Subject is a Public Listed company, focusing on supply chain management of agricultural products and food ingredients. With its long establishment in the market, the Subject has received strong support from its stable customers base. Its business position in the market is quite stable and it is expected to enjoy better market shares over its rivals. Having strong support from its shareholder has enabled the Subject to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment. The Subject is a large entity with strong capital position. We are confident with the Subject's business and its future growth prospect.

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 220 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. 

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. The Subject has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. The high gearing ratio clearly implied that the Subject was supported by more debt than equity. 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. Given a positive net worth standing at SGD 3,823,728,000, 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. 

The Subject's payment habit is average. With its adequate working capital, the Subject should be able to pay its short term debts.

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.
