From the above figures, we can conclude that the company is not managing its cash and equivalents efficiently in Year 2008. There are huge debts found to be written off. The company overtraded in terms of granting credits to push up sales. As such sales are not collectable till the following year. However, in year 2009, these improved as more reserve was made available as reported in the Statement of Cash flows.The cash operating circle is the period of time which elapses between the point at which cash begins to be expended on the production of a product and the collection of cash from purchases.

6.0 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION6.1 PROFITABILITYFrom 2005 to 2006, return on capital employed (ROCE) has decrease from 32.91% to 12.11% (refer to calculations as per Appendix 10.1). It decreases by 20.8%. This also leads to a decrease in its net income from RM172, 875 to RM 99,871. Later in 2007, the ROCE percentage improves significantly to 28.24%. It increases by 16.13% from the year 2006. There has been a fall from 2008 and 2009 in which the percentage reduces from 14.57% to 6.22%. This also decreases its net income from RM140, 213 to RM50, 715 respectively. The importance of the net profit percentage can never be over-emphasized. It is a very vital tool in expatiating, translating and evaluating the performance of a company. Its quite visible and conspicuous that the net profit percentage is at an estimate of 21.5% in the year 2005. It fell to 12.61% in the following year. However, it rose up a bit to 14.65% in the 3rd consecutive year only to 6.66% AND 2.57% in the two following years respectively. This brings up the possibility of an inefficient cost structure or an inaccurate method of cost allocation in the company during the span of those five (5) years7.0 QUALITATIVE MEASUREWhen evaluating a company, it is important both quantitative and qualitative measures are taken into consideration. Some of the qualitative measures which Scomi involves in is community engagement that includes; society in need. This involves motivational program for students of SMK Air Hangat Langkawi. They held a motivational program to address issues concerning the students. Secondly, charity program with Oku Bentong. They donated money and supplies to the disabled there in Bentong. Thirdly, Scomi also involve in the Alor Star Mak Cik Embun house repair which was carried out in April 2008. On top of that, the product quality is another factor to be considered. As the global provider, Scomi ensures that the products are of good quality meeting the requirements of the customers. These are some of the qualitative measures which Scomi takes and participated in.
