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 Subject's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its
products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.
The dip in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced
the Subject's profit margin. The Subject's management had generated
acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets. |

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost.
This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The Subject's management was quite
efficient in handling its debtors. The Subject's debtors days were at an
acceptable range, thus the risk of its debts turning bad was minimised. 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 : |
||||||
|
Although the Subject's turnover had increased, its profits had
declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer
market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the
Subject's profit margin. 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. |

ANALYSIS
|
|
INDUSTRY : |
TRADING |
|
The wholesale and retail trade sectors have expanded by 2.0% in the
third quarter of 2014, extending the 1.8 per cent growth in the previous
quarter. In 2013, the wholesale and retail sector expanded by 5.0%, after
declining by 1.4% the year before. Growth of the sector was driven by the
wholesale trade segment. |
|
|
The domestic wholesale trade index has increased by 3.2% in the fourth
quarter of 2013, moderating from the 6.6% growth in the previous quarter. The
slower growth was due to a decline in the sales of furniture and household
equipment (-12%) and petroleum and petroleum products (-0.6%). For the full
year, the domestic wholesale trade index grew by 5.2% reversing the 2.2%
decline in 2012. On the other hand, the foreign wholesale trade index has
increased by a slower pace of 5.6% in the fourth quarter, compared to the
7.7% expansion in the preceding quarter. The slowdown was due to a fall in
the sales of telecommunication equipment and computer (-3.8%) and petroleum
and petroleum products (-2.5%). For the full year, the growth of the foreign
wholesale trade index moderated slightly to 8.6% from 9.1% in the previous
year. |

|
Over the years, the Subject has
established an extensive clientele base in the market. Besides catering to
the local market, the Subject has penetrated into other countries. With the
contribution of both local and overseas customers, the Subject is likely to
be exposed to lower commercial risk. Hence, we believe that the Subject has
better business expansion opportunities in the future. Being a small company,
the Subject's business operation is supported by 30 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. 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. Based on the above condition, we recommend
credit be granted to the Subject normally. |
