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 2014-16 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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 

Profitability

Turnover

:

Erratic

[

2012 - 2016

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

6.49%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

9.94%

]

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.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.

:

Favourable

[

0 Days

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Favourable

[

8 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

12 Days

]

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.

Liquidity

Liquid Ratio

:

Favourable

[

1.26 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.26 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

[

2.37 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.20 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 :

The Subject recorded lower profits as its turnover showed a erratic trend. The Subject's management was unable to control its costs efficiently as its profit showed a downward trend. 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

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

The wholesale & retail trade sector expanded by 6.8% in the third quarter of 2015, higher than the 6.0% growth in the preceding quarter. Growth was supported by both the wholesale trade and retail trade segments. The wholesale trade segment was boosted by an increase in both domestic and foreign wholesale trade sales volume. In particular, the domestic wholesale trade index rose by 7.4%, following the 8.1 % increase in the previous quarter. The strong performance in domestic wholesale trade was due to a surge in the sales of petroleum and petroleum products (14%), chemicals & chemical products (39%) and telecommunications & computers (18%).

Similarly, the foreign wholesale trade index rose by 10% in the third quarter of 2015, accelerating from the 6.9% rise in the previous quarter. Growth was driven by improvements in the sales of petroleum & petroleum products (21%), metals, timber & construction materials (10%) and general wholesale trade (8.8%).

Overall retail trade sales volume also recorded resilient growth of 5.6% in the third quarter of 2015, extending the 6.4 % expansion in the second quarter. Growth was supported by a surge in the volume of motor vehicle sales (44%), which was in turn due to a substantial increase in the supply of Certificate of Entitlements. Excluding motor vehicles, retail sales volume increased at a much slower pace of 0.7% over the same period. The increase in retail sales volume (excluding motor vehicles) was due to improved non-discretionary goods sales. For instance, the sales of medical goods & toiletries and department store goods rose by 8.1% and 3.6% respectively.

According to the Retail News Asia, Food and beverage has overtaken fashion as the primary driver of demand for retail real estate in Singapore. Despite declining retail sales and consumer spending, the prime retail sector remained in good shape during the third quarter 2015.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

Having been in business for more than 5 years, the Subject has established a remarkable clientele base for itself which has contributed to its business growth. A paid up capital of USD 5,000,000 allows the Subject to expand its business more comfortably. With a strong backing from its shareholders, the Subject enjoys timely financial assistance should the needs arise.

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. Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 22 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.

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. 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. The high gearing ratio clearly implied that the Subject was supported by more debt than equity. Thus, the Subject is exposed to high financial risk. Given a positive net worth standing at USD 17,468,559, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.

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.
