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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

[

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

6.61%

]

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the Subject was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Favourable

[

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Favourable

[

32 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

8 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

:

Unfavourable

[

0.68 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.84 Times

]

A low liquid ratio means that the Subject may be facing working capital deficiency. If the Subject cannot obtain additional financing or injection of fresh capital, it may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Acceptable

[

8.27 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.64 Times

]

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 lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The Subject was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the Subject being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment :

Although the turnover was erratic, the Subject had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. Due to its weak liquidity position, the Subject will be faced with problems in meeting all its short term obligations if no short term loan is obtained or additional capital injected into the Subject. 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 as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : LIMITED

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING

In the first quarter of 2017, manufacturing output rose by 8.0%, following the increase of 11% in the previous quarter. The robust performance of the sector was underpinned by sustained growth in the electronics, precision engineering and chemicals clusters. For the whole year of 2016, the manufacturing sector grew by 3.6%, a reversal from the 5.1% contraction in the previous year.

The electronics cluster increased by 33% in the first quarter, largely driven by the semiconductors segment, which saw its output surge by 50%. The strong performance of the semiconductors segment can be attributed to the continued recovery in global semiconductors demand, driven in turn by healthy demand in key end markets such as smartphone and automotive applications. At the same time, the other electronic modules & components and computer peripherals segments grew by 9.0% and 1.2% respectively. For the full year of 2016, the electronics cluster expanded by 16%.

Besides, biomedical manufacturing cluster contracted by 7.5% in the first quarter of 2017. Within the cluster, the medical technology segment recorded robust growth of 14%, supported by higher export demand for medical instruments. However, this was outweighed by a 14% decline in the output of the pharmaceuticals segment as the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients fell. For 2016 as a whole, the biomedical manufacturing cluster expanded by 14%, with both the pharmaceuticals and medical technology segments supporting growth.

In the first quarter of 2017, output of the transport engineering cluster fell by 11%, dragged down by the marine & offshore engineering (M&OE) segment. This more than offset expansions in the aerospace (10%) and land (7.0%) segments. The aerospace segment, in particular, was supported by an increase in demand for aircraft and engine maintenance work. For the whole year of 2016, the transport engineering cluster contracted by 18%.

The precision engineering cluster expanded by 19% in the first quarter of 2017, supported by both the machinery & systems (M&S) and precision modules & components (PMC) segments. Output in the M&S segment rose by 24 % on the back of robust export demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Meanwhile, the PMC segment grew by 11% due to an increase in the production of dies, moulds, tools, jigs & fixtures, optical instruments and metal precision components. In 2016, the precision engineering cluster’s output rose by 0.8%.

Moreover, output of the general manufacturing industries shrank by 6.7% in the first quarter 2017. In particular, the output of the miscellaneous industries segment fell by 12% due to a decline in the production of fibre glass products and construction-related products & materials. The printing segment contracted by 21%, as demand for commercial printing remained weak and the food, beverage & tobacco segment expanded by 3.2%, supported by healthy export demand. For the full year 2016, the general manufacturing industries contracted by 2.5%.

The output of the chemicals cluster increased by 2.9% in the first quarter of 2017 supported primarily by growth in the petrochemicals (9.8%) and specialty chemicals (2.9%) segments. Growth in the petrochemicals segment was partly the result of a low base effect as production levels a year ago were weak due to plant maintenance shutdowns. On the other hand, the other chemicals segment contracted to 5.6% on account of a lower level of production of fragrances. For the full year 2016, the chemicals cluster contracted by 0.9 per cent. This was due to a decline in the output of the petrochemicals segment arising from major plant maintenance shutdowns, even as the output of all other segments expanded.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

Incorporated in 1990, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on manufacture of masterbatches,chemicals,additives. The Subject has been in business for over two decades. It has built up a strong clientele base and satisfactory reputation will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term. The Subject is expected to enjoy a stable market shares. A paid up capital of SGD 2,500,000 allows the Subject to expand its business more comfortably. With a strong backing from its holding company, 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. 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. 

We noted that both the turnover and profits have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to increase in turnover and better control over its operating costs. The Subject has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. Due to its weak liquidity position, the Subject may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term financial obligations if no fresh capital are injected into the Subject. Being a lowly geared company, the Subject is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. Given a positive net worth standing at SGD 30,660,000, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms. 

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 has reached its maturity stage and only enjoying a marginal growth. The steady growth of the country's economy will further enhance the industry activities. Thus, the Subject's future performance is very much depend on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market. 

Based on the above condition, we recommend credit be granted to the Subject normally.
