Company Background

With its strong presence in the Malaysian fashion scene for over 30 years, Bonia moves its influence into international arena. Today, Bonia is a brand leader in fashion products made from fine leather and high-quality accessories.

Bonia Corporation was incorporated on 28 August 1991 as private limited company under the name of Premium Fashions Sdn Bhd. On 22 June 1993, the company was converted into a public limited company and changed its name to Bonia Corporation Berhad on 18 September 1993. The company was subsequently listed on the Second Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now known as Bursa Malaysia) on 23 August 1994. On 23 April 2007, Bonia Corporation was transferred to the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. Bonia Group is principally engaged in manufacturing of leather goods / shoes; designing, promoting and marketing of fashion products for the company’s own brands; and distributing fashion products for some International Brands.

The Bonia Group had its humble beginning in 1978 with the formation of Bonia Trading Co., a partnership dealing in leatherwear and accessories. In 1989, the Group established a manufacturing facility in Melaka to design and manufacture leather goods.

The company began its organic expansion strategies by positioning its products in the domestic market and gradually into foreign territories. Even in those early years, the bone management recognizes the importance of brand building as opposed to just selling its product. The Bonia brand is associated with fashion, fine craftsmanship and quality. 28 years henceforth, the Bonia group can proudly reflect on its achievement of being the leading Malaysian company with strong positioning as a quality leatherwear fashion house.

Today, Bonia Corporation Berhad is one of Malaysia's leading local Leatherwear manufacturers, enjoying a 28% market share of local products with 37 boutiques and over 200 counters within the department, retail and duty-free stores across Malaysia, carrying product ranges from bags, wallets, shoes, apparels to accessories.

The group is gaining a strong foothold in the Middle East following the opening of its flagship boutique in Jeddah, and three others in Saudi Arabia with more plans to come. Bonus financial performance in FY2006 includes a 15% sales increase with marginally higher operating profit margin while market capitalization was up by 122% at RM 130 million.

Investment Recommendation

(a) Profitability

Based on the calculations and the information provided, Bonia Corporation had

experienced a good profitability since Return on Equity has increased from 13.79% to

16.3 %, it shows more return from investments which is good. Based on the Net Profit

Margin which has increased from 6.54% to 7.97%, the company is better at controlling

its expenses which is also a good thing. The Gross Profit Margin indicates that they are

getting better at controlling their Costs of Goods Sold which is good too. On the other

hand, Selling Expenses, General Expenses and Financial Expenses Ratio(FER)

increased 0.6%, 0.32% and 0.01% in the year. This means the business is getting better at

controlling the expenses.

(b) Stability

For the financial stability ratios of Bonia Corporation, the Working Capital Ratio has

decreased from 2.6 to 2.4 and it means that it does satisfy the ratio of 2:1 hence this is not

a good thing as the ability of this company to pay back its current liabilities has become

worse that the company is not able to pay back its current liabilities in a shorter time.

Moreover, the Total Debt Ratio has increased from 36% to 41.2% and this shows that

the business is now facing even more debt compare to last year. Furthermore, the Stock

Turnover Ratio has increased from 143.7 days to 172.7 days and this can be said that the

business is selling their products slower than last year. For Debtor Turnover Ratio ,it

has _______ from ____ days to ____ days as the using of time to collect the debt is

_____. Lastly, the Interest Coverage Ratio has a slight increase from 1.066 times to

1.074 times and this is good for the business because the ability to pay back their interest

expense has become better than the two years we compared but this still does not satisfy

the minimum requirement of 5 times.

In conclusion, the company is a good company to invest in. It is financially stable

and is able to make good profit at the same time. However, its Price Earning Ratio is 15

which mean that investors will have to wait for 15 years before recouping his

investments. If the investor is not conservative and is willing to wait for 15 years, then

Microsoft is a very good company to invest in.
