readily to be converted into cash within one year in the normal course of business. Based on the

result above, in 2009 and 2007, the current assets are higher compare to 2008. As we can see,

total for non current 2008 is higher and the total current asset is lower. Trade receivable was at

the highest in year 2009 when comparing year-to-year (9%). The lowest trade receivable trend is

in 2007 (2%). Trade receivable trend dropped drastically in year 2007 from 2008 (7% dropped to

2%). This is in tandem with the economic trend. During good years, the trade receivable is good,

and during bad times, the trade receivable is bad. Since experiencing an economic downturn in

increase in 2008 (17%). Managing current liabilities is very important to Hwa Tai and other

company’s cash flow process and extended viability. The increase of current liabilities in 2008 is

because of increase of other payable. In 2009, the current liabilities is lower because there are no

3. Ratio Analysis

Definition: expresses the relationship among selected items of financial statement data. Financial ratio classified into three categories, liquidity ratio, profitability ratio and solvency ratio.

Current Ratio

A liquidity ratio that measures a company’s ability to pay short term obligations.

Current Ratio 2010 = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities

= 35,343,809 35,774,652

= 0.99= 0.99 : 1

The ratio of 0.99: 1 means that for every ringgit of current liabilities, Hwa Tai has RM0.99 of current assets.

Current Ratio 2009 = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities

= 36,746,539 37,634,489

= 0.98= 0.98 : 1

The ratio of 0.98 : 1 means that for every ringgit of current liabilities, Hwa Tai has RM0.98 of current assets.

Current Ratio 2008 = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities

= 35,795,328 45,486,169

= 0.79= 0.79 : 1

The ratio of 0.79 : 1 means that for every ringgit of current liabilities, Hwa Tai has RM0.79 of current assets.

Current Ratio and Acid Test RatioCurrent Ratio Acid Test Ratio Series 3

Based on the output of current ratio, for every three year, Hwa Tai ratio is under 1.

Because of this matter, Hwa Tai would be unable to pay off its obligations. This data

shows that the company is not in a good financial health but it does not mean that Hwa

Tai will go bankrupt.

Acid Test ratio

This indicator to determine whether a firm has enough short-term assets to cover its

immediate liabilities without selling inventory. The acid-test ratio is far more strenuous

than the working capital ratio, primarily because the working capital ratio allows for the

inclusion of inventory assets.

Acid Test Ratio 2010 = Cast + Short Term Investment + Receivables (Net)Current Liabilities

= 28,530,006 35,774,652

= 0.80= 0.80 :1

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 15: Ratio

Acid Test Ratio 2009 = Cast + Short Term Investment + Receivables (Net)Current Liabilities

= 31,403,261 37,634,489

= 0.83= 0.83 :1

Acid Test Ratio 2008 = Cast + Short Term Investment + Receivables (Net)Current Liabilities

= 29,411,898 45,486,169

= 0.65= 0.65 : 1

Acid test ratio for the respective three years shows that Hwa Tai always gain less than 1 ratio. Its

shows that this company cannot pay their current liabilities and should be looked at with extreme

caution. This acid test ratio is much lower compare to current ratio, it means the current assets

for this company in highly dependent on inventory.

Receivable Turnover

This ratio measure used to quantify a firm's effectiveness in extending credit as well as collecting

debts. The receivables turnover ratio is an activity ratio, measuring how efficiently a firm uses its

assets.

Receivables Turnover 2010 = Net Credit Sales

Average Net Receivables

= 77,016,224 25,424,055

= 3.03= 3.03 times

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 16: Ratio

Average collection period 2010 = 365 days

Receiveables Turnover= 365

3.03= 120.49= every 120 days

A high ratio implies either Hwa Tai operates on a cash basis or that its extension of credit and

collection of accounts receivable is efficient. Based on the output, Hwa Tai receivables are

collected on average every 120 days.

Receivables Turnover 2009 = Net Credit SalesAverage Net Receivables

= 72,125,922 27724051

= 2.60 = 2.6 times

Average collection period 2009 = 365 days

Receiveables Turnover= 365

2.60 = 140.30= 140 days

Based on the output, Hwa Tai receivables are collected on average every 140 days.

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 17: Ratio

Receivables Turnover 2008 = Net Credit SalesAverage Net Receivables

= 80,245,698 29129452.5

= 2.75 = 2.75 times

Average collection period 2008 = 365 days

Receiveables Turnover= 365

2.75 = 132.50= 132 days

Based on the output, Hwa Tai receivables are collected on average every 132 days. From the data

in the three respective years, Hwa Tai took mostly more than 100 days to collect debts from the

creditor and it will cause problem in running the business. Furthermore, this matter will decrease

the confidence of the investor to invest in this company.

Inventory Turnover

This ration showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period

Inventory Turnover 2010 = Cost of Goods SoldAverage Inventory

= (54,393,416) 5,735,449

= -9.489.48 times

Days in Inventory 2010 = 365 daysInventory Turnover

= 365-9.48

= -38.49

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 18: Ratio

= 38.49 days

In 2010, 9.48 times Hwa Tai inventory is sold and replaced over a period. High inventory levels

are seems unhealthy because it represents an investment with a rate of return of zero and it will

give trouble to the company if the prices begin to fall.

Inventory Turnover 2009 = Cost of Goods SoldAverage Inventory

= (49,769,251)5684149

= (8.76)= 8.76 times

Days in Inventory 2009 = 365 daysInventory Turnover

= 365(8.76)

= 365 (10.90)

= -33.48= 33.48 days

Profit Margin

This probability ratio measures how much out of every ringgit of sales a company actually keeps in earnings.

Profit Margin 2010 = Net IncomeNet Sales

= 385,127 77,016,224

= 0.01= 0.50= 0.50%

Profit Margin 2009 = Net IncomeNet Sales

= 2,051,989 72,125,922

= 0.03= 2.85= 2.85%

Profit Margin 2008 = Net IncomeNet Sales

= 415,178 80,245,698

= 0.01= 0.52= 0.52%

Higher profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs

compared to its competitors. Based on the output in 2010, Hwa Tai got 0.50% profit margin. It

means that the company has a net income of RM0.005 for each ringgit of sales. And this number

did not show the good performance during 2010. Same goes to 2008, the company only has a net

income of RM0.0052 for each ringgit of sales. However, this company had little increased their

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 20: Ratio

profit margin in 2009 which the company has a net income of RM0.0285 for each ringgit of

sales.

Asset Turnover

It measures the amount of sales generated for every ringgit’s worth of assets.

Asset Turnover 2010 = Net SalesAverage Assets

= 77,016,224

56502750.5= 1.363052654= 1 times

Asset Turnover 2009 = Net SalesAverage Assets

Asset Turnover 2008 = Net SalesAverage Assets

= 80,245,698

63626216.5= 1.26 = 1 times

Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or revenue. The

higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy, companies with low profit

margins tend to have high asset turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset

turnover. But for Hwa Tai, they experienced low profit margin but still low in asset turnover.

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 21: Ratio

Return on Assets

This indicator show how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as

to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. It also known as return on

investment.

Return on Assets 2010 = Net IncomeAverage Assets

= 385,127 56502750.5

Return on Assets 2009 = Net IncomeAverage Assets

Return on Assets 2008 = Net IncomeAverage Assets

= 415,178 63626216.5

= 0.01 = 0.65 = 0.65%

ROA will tells company what earnings were generated from invested capital (assets). ROA for

public companies can vary substantially and will be highly dependent on the industry. The ROA

figure gives investors an idea of how effectively the company is converting the money it has to

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 22: Ratio

invest into net income. The higher the ROA number, the better, because the company is earning

more money on less investment. From the outcome from three respective years, Hwa Thai does

not show the good ROA because they only got 0.68% for 2010, 3.43% in 2009 and 0.65% in

2008. We can conclude that, Hwa Tai earning less money on high investment.

Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity

This ratio show how many ringgit of net income the company earned for each ringgit invested by

the owner.

Return on common 2010 = Net Income - Preffered DividendsStockholder's Equity Average Common Stockholders' Equity

= 385,127 40042400

= 415,178 40042400

= 0.01 = 1.04 = 1.04%

From the result, it seems that in 2009, the owner of the company gain more profit compared to

year 2010 and 2008.

From the graph, it shows that this company is not doing well because the percentages keep on

fluctuating from three respective years.

Earnings Per Share

The portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Earnings

per share serve as an indicator of a company's profitability. Earnings per share are generally

considered to be the single most important variable in determining a share's price. It is also a

major component used to calculate the price-to-earnings valuation ratio. From the company’s

annual report, it already stated that the Earning Per share for Hwa Tai company’s is RM1 for

2010, RM5 for 2009 and RM1 for 2008. From here we can conclude that, Hwa tai shows

increasing rate during 2009.

ACC720/0911/RAR

Price Earnings Ratio

A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings.

Price Earnings Ratio 2010 = Market Price per Share of StockEarnings Per Share

= 0.561

= 0.56= 0.56 times

= 0.112= 0.11 times

Price Earnings Ratio 2008 = Market Price per Share of StockEarnings Per Share

= 0.561

= 0.56= 0.56 times

In general, a high price earning suggests that investors are expecting higher earnings growth in

the future compared to companies with a lower price earning. However, the price earnings ratio

doesn't tell us the whole story by itself. It's usually more useful to compare the price

earnings ratios of one company to other companies in the same industry, to the market in general

or against the company's own historical price earning. It would not be useful for investors using

the price earnings ratio as a basis for their investment to compare the price earning of a

technology company (high price earning) to a utility company (low price earning) as each

industry. It is important that investors note an important problem that arises with the price

earning measure, and to avoid basing a decision on this measure alone. The denominator

(earnings) is based on an accounting measure of earnings that is susceptible to forms of

manipulation, making the quality of the price earning only as good as the quality of the

underlying earnings number.

ACC720/0911/RAR

Page 25: Ratio

Payout Ratio

The amount of earnings paid out in dividends to shareholders. Investors can use the payout ratio

to determine what companies are doing with their earnings. For Hwa Tai, no dividend was paid

or declared by the company since the end of the previous financial year. The directors do not

recommend the payment of any dividends in respect of the financial year ended 31st December

for the three respective year.

Debt to Total Asset Ratio

A ratio that indicates what proportion of debt a company has relative to its assets. The measure

gives an idea to the leverage of the company along with the potential risks the company faces in

terms of its debt-load.

company Hwa Tai has a very crucial time in 2008. The reasons why this company did not

performance well is because of the economic condition that affect it production. Other than that,

Hwa Tai have to compete with biggest competitors such as Hup Seng, Munchy and London

Biscuits. As we looked at the current and acid test ratio, in three respective years, Hwa Tai just

got below than1. From this result, we can say that, Hwa Tai is having a problem and unable to

pay off all its obligations. In this three years (2008, 2009, 2010), the receivables turnover is

around two to three times only. Meaning that, Hwa Tai collected their debts from the creditors in

around 120 days to 140 days. It is a long period to regain the capital. Haw Tai also took a long

period to store their inventory. They took 33 days to 41 days. The good inventory management

can be implement if Hwa Tai take at least a week for their product to be store. Higher profit

margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs compared to its

competitors. Hwa Tai highest profit margin is during 2009 (2.85%). The company did not gain

many profit compare to others competitors. Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using

its assets in generating sales or revenue. The higher the number the better. For Hwa Tai, they

only got one times for assets turnover for the three respectively years and return on assets for

Hwa Tai is higher at 2009. It shows that, Hwa Tai effectively converting their money in 2009

compared to 2008 and 2010.

From the conclusion above, Hwa Tai must make sure that they are efficiently managed

their assets to gain higher profit. They also need to sell their inventory and not to collect the bad

debt for a long period. Besides that, they need to manage the creditors in order to make sure they

pay all the credit at a given period. In order to fully maximize their assets, they have to generate

more income from collecting debt, reduce the days in inventory, reduce the average collective

period and increase the current ratio and acid test ratio. The credit management must be well

organized in order to success.
