TWO YEAR FINANCIAL ANALYSIS REPORT
Financial Highlights
SC experienced a deteriorating turnover performance in FYE2017. This was
followed by net losses. SC realized net losses worth USD73,003 in FYE2017,
posting net loss margin of 1.21%. Therefore, accumulated profits reduced in
FYE2017. This in turn reduced total shareholder’s equity during the end of
FYE2017. The net loss margin registered meant that SC was unprofitable for the
year. SC failed to generate returns on assets and equity in FYE2017.
Liquidity position deteriorated in current financial year, registering performance
above the industry norm. Working capital surplus has decreased but SC remained
solvent in generating current assets to cover current debt obligations in FYE2017.
The cash flow statement shows that the company was sufficient to cover its cash
outflows from operating and investing activities with the cash inflow from its
financing activities.
Total debt to equity increased, posting at 103.96% in FYE2017, which remained
higher than the industry norm of 81.71%. SC has switched to rely on more debt
than equity to finance its operations during FYE2017.
We would like to highlight that the company had total bank borrowings totaling of
USD0.85 million in FYE2017 as compared to USD0.64 million in FYE2016.
According to its audited financials for FYE2017, the borrowings were unsecured.
Taking into consideration profitability, liquidity and leverage, the company has
shown a fair financial performance.

Profitability
Chart 1: Comparative Performance of Turnover, Earnings and Total Shareholder’s Equity
SC’s turnover decreased by 8.98% to USD6.04 million in FYE2017. Turnover
represented revenue from sale of goods.
Aside from turnover, SC has posted other operating income amounting to
USD11,343 in FYE2017 as compared to USD19,299 in FYE2016.
Cost of sales reduced by 8.00% to USD5.53 million in the current year. SC was
able to cover the cost of sales with the revenue generated but registered lower
gross profit of USD0.51 million in current year from USD0.62 million in the
previous year.
Meanwhile, total operating expenses decreased by 4.44% to USD0.58 million in
the FYE2017. The decreases in selling and distribution costs, administrative
expenses, other charges led to the overall decrement in total operating expenses
in FYE2017.
Net losses realized at USD73,003 in FYE2017, representing a dip of 409.02% from
previous financial year's profits. On top of poorer sales performance, the
realization of net losses was also result of SC’s inability to control costs.
Hence, accumulated profits reduced by 9.31% to USD0.71 million in FYE2017. This
in turn has translated into contracted total shareholder’s equity, which depreciated
by 5.31% to USD1.30 million in FYE2017.

Meanwhile, both pre-tax loss and net loss margins were reported at 1.26% and
1.21% respectively in FYE2017. This implies that SC was unprofitable during the
current financial year.

Return on Invested Capital
Chart 3: Comparative Changes in Return on Assets Ratio and Return on Equity Ratio
Following the realization of losses, Return on Assets ratio (ROA) and Return on
Equity ratio (ROE) reported negative results during the year.
Return on Assets ratio (ROA) realized at a negative 2.75% in FYE2017 implying
that the company was making losses of USD2.75 for every USD100 worth of
assets.
Return on Equity ratio (ROE) realized at negative 5.61% in FYE2011. In other
words, the company incurred losses of USD5.61 for every USD100 equity invested
into the business.
Basically, the ROE measures the management’s capability in generating returns on
its shareholders’ funds and based on the negative ROE in FYE2017, it appeared
that the management was inefficient in giving its shareholders returns during the
current financial year.

Liquidity
Chart 4: Comparative Changes in Current Ratio and Quick Ratio
Current ratio dropped by 0.39 from 2.34 in FYE2016 to 1.95 in FYE2017. Quick
ratio also showed decrement, decreasing by 0.29 to 1.64 in FYE2017. The
decrease in both ratios was largely attributed to a larger increasing current
liabilities position, whereby it rose by 27.63% as compared to a 6.00% rise in
current assets in FYE2017. Overall, SC's liquidity position remained above the
industry norm of 1.75.
Working capital surplus has reduced by 10.09%, registering at USD1.28 million in
FYE2017. Nonetheless, the surplus suggests that the company remained solvent
with sufficient current assets to cover current debt obligations in the event of
liquidation.
SC's cash position increased by 36.47% to USD0.29 million in FYE2017. This was
due to the sufficient amount of cash generated from financing activities to cover
its cash outflows from operating and investing activities.
SC has realized net cash outflow from operating activities of USD0.11 million in
FYE2017, a 68.16% contracted from previous financial year. This was contributed
by the decrease in trade and other receivables.. On the other hand, cash
expenditure in investing activities reduced by 9.86% to USD5,878 in FYE2017.
This was contributed by the decrease in purchase of property, plant and
equipment.. Meanwhile, net cash outflow from financing activities turned around
by 278.03% to inflow of USD0.19 million in FYE2017. This was contributed by the
proceeds from interest bearing loans..
As such, net cash deficit in FYE2016 rebounded to surplus of USD76,210 during

Chart 5: Analysis of Collection, Payment and Inventory Conversion Periods
Inventory conversion period increased from 24.19 days in FYE2016 to 25.37 days
in FYE2017, implying that it took a longer time for the company to turn its stocks
into sales. We noticed that SC has maintained a lower level of inventory at the end
of FYE2017 of USD0.42 million, which was a decrease of 4.53%.
Payment period increased to 27.81 days in FYE2017 from 24.20 days in FYE2016.
We noticed that trade creditors has increased by 5.71% in FYE2017 on the back of
drop in the cost of sales.
Collection period lengthened from 87.41 days in FYE2016 to 102.95 days in
FYE2017. This implies that the company was less efficient in its collection from
customers. Note that SC's collection period remained longer than industry norm of
58.50 days.

Chart 6: Comparative Changes in Asset, Accounts Receivable and Payable, Inventory and Fixed Asset
Turnover Ratios
Asset turnover ratio decreased to 2.27 times, while fixed assets turnover ratio
increased to 300.22 times in FYE2017. Total asset level increased by 5.64% on the
back of drop in SC’s turnover. Note that increase in current assets have triggered
an overall increment in total asset in FYE2017. All in all, the company remained
efficient in capitalizing on its assets to generate returns.
Accounts receivable and accounts payable turnovers ratios moved in tandem for
three financial years under review. The lower accounts receivable turnover ratio of
3.55 times reinforced that SC was slower in the recovery of its debts from trade
debtors. Accounts payable turnover ratio dropped to 13.13 times, showing that SC
took a longer period to pay its trade creditors (See section on Liquidity).
Inventory turnover ratio fell to 14.39 times in FYE2017 from 15.09 times in
FYE2016. Note that SC's inventory turnover ratio remained above the industry
norm of 12.14 times.

Industry Information
The wholesale & retail trade sector grew by 2.2 per cent in the third quarter,
extending the 2.1 per cent growth in the previous quarter. Growth was supported
by both the wholesale trade and retail trade segments.
The wholesale trade segment was boosted by expansions in both domestic and
foreign wholesale trade sales volumes (Exhibit 1). The domestic wholesale trade
index rose by 1.3 per cent in the third quarter, following an increase of 6.3 per
cent in the previous quarter, on the back of expansions in the sales of petroleum &
petroleum-related products (3.0 per cent) and others1 (11 per cent).
Exhibit 1: Changes in Wholesale Trade Index at Constant Prices
Meanwhile, the foreign wholesale trade index expanded by 4.6 per cent in the
third quarter, faster than the 1.9 per cent growth in the second quarter. The
improved performance of the index can be mainly attributed to a turnaround in the
sales of petroleum & petroleum-related products. Specifically, the sales of
petroleum & petroleum-related products expanded by 5.3 per cent in the third
quarter, a reversal from the decline of 4.2 per cent in the second quarter.
Additionally, robust expansions in the sales of electronic components (15 per cent)
and food, beverages & tobacco (19 per cent) further lent support to growth.
Overall retail sales volume rose by 0.9 per cent in the third quarter, extending the
1.4 per cent growth in the previous quarter, supported by a sustained recovery in
non-motor vehicle sales (Exhibit 2). Notably, retail sales volume (excluding motor
vehicles) expanded by 2.4 per cent in the third quarter, similar to the 2.5 per cent
increase in the previous quarter. The improvement in non-motor vehicle sales
came on the back of an uptick in consumer sentiments as well as higher tourist
expenditure on shopping. In particular, the sales volume of department stores,
watches & jewellery, and wearing apparel & footwear rose by 4.6 per cent, 4.5 per
cent and 4.1 per cent respectively.

Financial Ratio Glossary
Key Business Ratios are used to identify irregularities in the status and future potential of a company.
Name Formula Explanation
Current
Ratio (x)
Total Current Assets /
Total Current
Liabilities
This ratio shows the cover by current assets of short term creditors,
and the higher the ratio the more assurance there is that payment of
creditors can be met.
Asset
Turnover (%)
(Turnover / Total
Assets(including Intangibles)) x 100
This ratio measures how efficient the company's management has been
in generating sales from the assets at its disposal.
The measure can vary considerably from industry to industry and
should therefore be judged according to the industry norm.
Profit Margin
(%)
(Profit before Tax /
Turnover) x 100
This reveals the profits earned per pound of sales and therefore
measures the efficiency of the operation.
This ratio is an indicator of the business' ability to withstand adverse
conditions such as falling prices, rising costs or declining sales
Return
on
assets
(%)
(Profit before Tax /
Total Assets) x 100
This is the key indicator of profitability for a company it matches
operational profits with the assets available to earn a return.
Companies using their assets efficiently will have a relative high return
while less well run businesses will have a relatively low return

NA Assessment not available due to insufficient data
The D&B New Credit Risk Index provides a quick assessment of a business's risk standing based on
observed business failure of companies in Singapore. When used together with other information, it helps you derive better risk decisions.
The Risk Index was recently enhanced in November 2003 and has been computed using D&B's expertise
and advanced statistical techniques. It is calculated based on up-to-date information currently available in
the D&B Singapore database.
The D&B Risk Index is based on a scale of 1 to 6, where 1 represents a lower and 6 a higher percentage of
observed Business Failures.
Though the index does not predict the probability of business closure, it reflects from a database profiling approach, the ratio of failed to operating businesses for each Risk Index Level.
The Risk Index is computed using the following key drivers available in the report. Each risk value is first
weighted according to that area's overall importance, and then aggregated and considered with the other
weighted risk values. The final Risk Index is assigned base on ranges. The final aggregated value is
compared with the predetermined ranges and the Risk is assigned to the report.
