Right side up would be nice but two out of four might be a pass where you come from. It would also be useful to have all the data in one document so you don't have to jump backwards and forwards but you can't have everything

There is a lot of data here what is your question or specific problem? You may also have breached copyright by copying and transmitting these files

I get it but I won't do your work for. You. Implicit in the data is that certain ratios must be achieved or maintained. I suggest you determine whether that criteria has been met. I also see there is some opportunistic treatment of liabilities which may affect whether the criteria is met. Creative accounting must be identified and reported upon.

You have been given specific terms of reference, do you have difficulty identifying these or any aspect of the analysis?

I suggest you calculate some specific ratios to determine whether this apparently highly successful acquisition is in fact what it seems. You should calculate EVA and times interest earned.

Please lay those 6 questions out with your answer and I will review it for you

We can go through this step by step start with the first question and I will use simple words please understand I can't copy the documents and as they are proprietary I should not transcribe them here is what I said in simple terms'

You have been asked some general questions, you have also been asked to answer six specific questions.

There are financial ratios that lenders have insisted upon. You should include in your report whether these conditions have been met. I see that there are attempts to alter these ratios using some less than honest methods we call creative accounting

I think you must carefully read the data and look for a transaction with a date close to balance date. The short term notes may be part of the answer It may be to answer this question you must calculate what the management bonus actually is and do all the other analysis needed and how much it might have increased.

What I was telling you earlier is that some key ratios may show you that some things are not in the best interests of shareholders calculation of EVA is one such ratio

Ok , the sucuned q2 has the debt covenant imposed any restriction that may have influenced any of managements reporting choices? How i should find?

ok , the sucuned Q2 HAS THE DEBT COVENANT IMPOSED ANY RESTRICTION THAT MAY HAVE INFLUENCED ANY OF MANAGEMENTS REPORTING CHOICES? HOW I SHOULD FIND?

Again we are talking about the treatment of the short term notes so you must calculate the liquidity ratio in both cases and determine whether the lenders requirements are met. You must decide whether the presentation of the accounts represents a true and fair view in regard to the short term notes.

Things to think about how can the company be sure they can borrow the money short term over and over again, are they a good credit risk?

Ibrahim there is an issue I must take up with you and that is presentation, not all of us write well but an accountant must train so that writing is legiable and what you have done is well presented

I'm not sure you have addressed the specific questions you were asked and it will take me some time to work out what you have done but I see some of your conclusions

The company is in a sorry financial state. The earnings indicate a trading loss as all the income has come from other income items and most of these will only happen once. So in answering the question on sustaining earnings you would have to report that although sales have risen profit has fallen and a reason is interest on additional debt.There has been a manipulation in regard to the short term notes and current liabilities need to be restated.
The average number of days sales in receivables has risen, this may be structural and depend on when the sales were made or it may indicate bad debts. By my calculation the allowance for bad debts is inadequate

These are just some thoughts and I will get back to you

Hello Ibraham
I have looked at your calculations and while on the face of it some ratios are positive I don't agree with your upbeat assessment of this company. When calculating ratios on sales you must exclude other revenue items to get a proper picture and there is a trading loss
I will attach a file so you can see what I think about the specific questions

trying to understand your writing and your comments a number of times you used raw data rather than looking behind the figures Your assessment that because net profit as a percentage of sales has increased this is good while in fact if you remove the other income you will see there is a trading loss which is not good and there has been a decline since 2010. In the same way you will see I have adjusted the current ratio and the liquidity ratio because there has been a misstatement of a current liability. The notes to the accounts are there so you can see what might not be obvious such as the company has a short term liquidity problem

I said to you you should calculate EVA this is not easy to do but it would show you that the decisions of management had destroyed value in 2011

EVA makes certain adjustments to the accounts to calculate NOPAT (net operating profit after tax) which is then used in conjunction with a risk adjusted average cost of capital to determine whether the acts of management has resulted in a growth in shareholder value or not. When used as tool to measure performance over time it can guide management in making those decisions which create value.

In the case of this question the cost of debt can be used as a proxy for a risk adjusted cost of capital because you do not know what the risk rate is but moneys loaned to the company would include a risk factor
