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.
Unemployment is very low. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly
of consumer electronics, information technology products, medical and optical
devices, pharmaceuticals, and on its vibrant transportation, business, and
financial services sectors. The economy contracted 0.6% in 2009 as a result of
the global financial crisis, but has continued to grow since 2010 on the
strength of renewed exports. Growth in 2014 was slower at 2.9%, largely a
result of soft demand for exports amid a sluggish global economy and weak
growth in Singapore’s manufacturing sector. The government is attempting to
restructure Singapore’s economy by weaning its dependence on foreign labor,
addressing weak productivity, and increasing Singaporean wages. Singapore has
attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology
production and will continue efforts to strengthen its position as Southeast
Asia's leading financial and high-tech hub. Singapore is a member of the
12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations, the Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership negotiations with the nine other ASEAN
members plus Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, and
in 2015, Singapore will form, with the other ASEAN members, the ASEAN Economic
Community.

The continuous fall in turnover could be due to the lower demand for the Subject's products / services.The management had succeeded in turning the Subject into a profit making company. The profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. The Subject's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency 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 unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the Subject taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the Subject and its suppliers and the Subject may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies. |

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. |

|
The Subject's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the year. 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 : |
||||||
|
Although the Subject's turnover decreased, its losses also decreased during the year. This could be the result of more efficient control in its operating costs. 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 did not make any interest payment during the year. The Subject was dependent on its shareholders' funds to finance its business needs. 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. |

INDUSTRY
ANALYSIS
|
|
INDUSTRY : |
ECONOMY |
|
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) announced that it expects the Singapore economy to grow by around 3.0% in 2014, and by 2.0 to 4.0% in 2015. Besides that in 2013, the economy grew by 4.1%, higher than the 1.9% growth in 2012. This was mainly due to strong growth in the services producing industries, particularly the finance & insurance, as well as wholesale & retail trade sectors. |
|
|
In 2013, all sectors contributed positively to growth. Finance & insurance was the largest contributor (1.2 percentage-points), followed by wholesale & retail trade (0.8 percentage-points) and business services (0.6 percentage-points). Growth in the manufacturing sector was improved by 1.7%, on the back of strong growth in the electronics and transport engineering clusters. By contrast, growth in the construction sector moderated to 5.9%, from 8.6% in 2012. |
|
|
Growth in the services producing industries picked up to 5.3% in 2013, from 2.0% in 2012. This was mainly due to stronger growth in the finance & insurance and wholesale & retail trade sectors. The finance & insurance sector grew by 11%, up from 1.3% in the previous year. The wholesale & retail trade sector has expanded by 5.0%, after declining by 1.4% the year before. |
|
|
For the whole of 2013, growth in total demand was 3.1%, similar to the pace of growth in 2012. External demand was the key contributor to total demand growth, accounting for 2.7 percentage-points, or almost 90%, of the increase. External demand grew at a faster pace of 3.6%, compared to the 1.4% growth in 2012. This was supported mainly by growth in the exports of machinery & transport equipment, miscellaneous manufactures, and transport services. Total domestic demand rose by a modest 1.7%, following the 8.6% increase in 2012. The slower growth in total domestic demand was primarily due to the decline in gross fixed capital formation (GFCF). |
|
|
For the full year, total consumption expenditure grew by 4.4% in 2013, faster than the 2.8% growth in 2012. Public consumption expenditure increased by 11%, a strong rebound from the 1.9% decline in 2012. Private consumption expenditure recorded gains of 2.7%, moderating from the 4.1% increase in the preceding year. |
|
|
Furthermore, in the first three quarters of 2014, the Singapore economy grew by 3.3% on a year-on-year basis. For the rest of the year, growth is expected to ease slightly on a year-on-year basis, in line with a projected slowdown in the global economy. Externally-oriented sectors such as the manufacturing and transportation & storage sectors are likely to slow, whereas growth in the construction sector will continue to be weighed down by the weakness in private sector construction activities. On the other hand, domestically-oriented sectors like business services are likely to remain resilient. |
|
|
Additionally, the labour market in Singapore is expected to remain tight in 2015, with low unemployment and rising vacancy rates. Against this global and domestic backdrop, the growth outlook for the Singapore economy remains modest. In tandem with the expected pick-up in external demand, externally-oriented sectors such as manufacturing, wholesale trade and finance & insurance are likely to provide support to growth. While some domestically-oriented sectors such as businesses services are expected to remain resilient, labour-intensive ones like construction, retail and food services may see their growth weighed down by labour constraints. |

CREDIT
RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION
|
|
Despite the lower turnover, the Subject's pre-tax profit have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. 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 managed to maintain an adequate liquidity level, indicating that the Subject has the ability to meet its 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. The Subject's unfavourable financial performance over the years has wiped out its shareholders' funds to a deficit of SGD -1,655,330. Therefore, the Subject as a going concern is much dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flow and obtain additional financing to meet its future obligations.
