Investment holding company Jadason Enterprises responds to SGX queries

The Company’s receivables increased from S$24.98m to S$35.03m, and SGX is asking for clarifications.

According to a release, SGX was referring to the Company’s unaudited statements for the quarter and nine months period ended 30 September 2011.

SGX’s query: The Company explained that Bills Receivables increased from S$24.98 million as at 31 December 2010 to S$35.03 million as at 30 September 2011 due to higher interest rate and lesser need for the discounting of bills by the Group. Please clarify the reasons for the higher interest rate and why there is a lesser need for discounting of bills by the Group.

Jadason Enterprises answered:
The prevailing interest rate is high in China as a result of the Chinese government raising the bank reserve requirement ratio to curb loans growth so as to control inflation. As the Group’s liquidity position has improved, there is lesser need for the Group to discount the bills receivables to obtain funds for its operation. Lesser bills discounting has helped the Group to save on interest cost, especially when the interest rate is high.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
