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. Growth in 2014-17 was slower than
during the previous decade, at under 3% annually, 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 growth,
and increasing Singaporean wages. Singapore has attracted major investments in
advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology production and
will continue efforts to strengthen its position as Southeast Asia's leading
financial and technology hub. Singapore is a member of the Regional
Comprehensive Economic Partnership negotiations with the nine other ASEAN
members plus Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. In
2015, Singapore formed, 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 Subject incurred losses during the year due to the
inefficient control of its operating costs. 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
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. |

|
Gearing Ratio |
: |

[ |
0.00 Times |
] |
|
|
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 increased its
profits however showed a reverse trend. The losses could be due to the
management's failure to maintain its competitiveness in the market. 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 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 : |
MANUFACTURING |
|
The manufacturing sector expanded by 4.8%
in the fourth quarter, supported largely by robust output growth in the electronics
and precision engineering clusters. For the whole of 2017, the manufacturing
sector grew by 10%, accelerating from the 3.7% expansion in 2016. Growth was
largely driven by the electronics and precision engineering clusters, even as
the biomedical manufacturing, transport engineering and general manufacturing
industries clusters contracted. |
|
|
The electronics cluster grew by 24% in the
fourth quarter 2017, largely due to the semiconductors segment, which
expanded by 35%. Specifically, the semiconductors segment benefitted from
robust global semiconductors demand, which was in turn driven by key end
markets such as the smartphone market. At the same time, the computer
peripherals segment registered healthy growth of 9.5%, supported by buoyant demand
for printer-related products. On the other hand, the data storage and other
electronic modules & components segments contracted by 25% and 7.5%
respectively. For the full year, the electronics cluster expanded by 34% as
the healthy performance of the semiconductors and computer peripherals
segments more than offset the weakness in the data storage segment. |
|
|
In fourth quarter 2017, the precision
engineering cluster expanded to 20%, supported by both the precision modules
& components (PMC) and machinery & systems (M&S) segments. Output
in the PMC segment rose by 40% due to an increase in the production of dies,
moulds, tools, jigs & fixture, optical instruments and metal precision
components. Meanwhile, the M&S segment grew by 8.9% in tandem with
healthy export demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. For the
whole of 2017, the output of the precision engineering cluster rose by 18% on
account of robust expansions in both segments. |
|
|
The chemicals cluster grew by 12% in the fourth
quarter 2017, with all segments recording growth. In particular, the
petrochemicals segment grew by 23% on the back of production capacity
expansions, while the petroleum segment expanded by 13% supported by higher
refining margins. At the same time, the other chemicals and specialties
segments posted growth of 8.1% and 6.2%respectively. For 2017 as a whole, the
chemicals cluster expanded by 6.2%, supported by growth in all segments. |
|
|
Besides, output of the general
manufacturing industries cluster increased to 6.6% in the fourth quarter
2017, primarily due to the strong performance of the food, beverages &
tobacco (FBT) segment, which grew by 18% on the back of a surge in the
production of beverages products. On the other hand, the printing segment
shrank by 11% due to weak demand for commercial printing, while output in the
miscellaneous industries segment declined by 0.6% on account of a lower
production of construction-related materials. For the whole of 2017, the
general manufacturing industries cluster contracted by 1.6%, as output
declines in the printing and miscellaneous industries segments outweighed
output gains in the FBT segment. |
|
|
Moreover, output of the transport engineering
cluster fell by 7.8% in the fourth quarter 2017. The aerospace segment
recorded robust growth of 13% due to a higher volume of repair and
maintenance work from commercial airlines. However, this was more than offset
by output declines in the marine & offshore engineering (M&OE) and
land transport segments of 22% and 11% respectively. In particular, the
M&OE segment remained weak on account of low levels of rig-building,
shipbuilding and repair activities. For the full year 2017, the transport engineering
cluster shrank by 6.9%, dragged down mainly by the M&OE segment. |
|
|
The biomedical manufacturing cluster
contracted by 28% in the fourth quarter 2017, weighed down by the
pharmaceuticals segment (-37%) on the back of a drop in the production of
active pharmaceutical ingredients and biological products. However, the
medical technology segment, which grew at a healthy pace of 3.3%, provided
some support to the cluster. For 2017 as a whole, output in the biomedical
manufacturing cluster fell by 9.3%, led by the output decline in the
pharmaceuticals segment. |
