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

:

Increased

[

2012 - 2016

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

2012 - 2016

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

(25.22%)

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

6.27%

]

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 Subject's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control

Stock Ratio

:

Favourable

[

32 Days

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Favourable

[

54 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

23 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

:

Acceptable

[

0.84 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.16 Times

]

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.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Unfavourable

[

0.41 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

4.35 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 :

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'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. 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 : POOR

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



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2011, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on trading of leather, mineral, metal, agricultural commodities. 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. With a large issued and paid up capital of USD 14,100,000 and strong backing from its holding company, the Subject enjoys timely financial assistance should the needs arise. These favourable conditions has minimised its risk in the industry compared to other players. 

Investigation revealed, 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 6 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. 

Despite the higher turnover, the Subject suffered pre-tax losses which reflected a highly competitive business environment. 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. 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 85,874,699, 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. 

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.
