Cloud 9Co. is an Irish sports shoes manufacturer. It has recently seen a decline in profitability owing to Covid 19. As a result,Cloud 9is faced with having to suspend its operations immediately unless it can find alternative markets to ensure the business can remain operational. The window to implement a new plan is very tight. Luckily, the production and sales directors had already assembled a team to devise a plan, referred to as Go Online, to diversify the business away from its reliance on the direct retail market. While much of the outline of Go Onlineis ready, it still requires input from the finance department. Although the team had intended to present Go Online at a strategy conference planned for later this year, events have now overtaken them and an emergency meeting of Cloud 9s senior management team has been called for next week. The principle agenda items are an assessment of the current level of stress on the firms liquidity and a discussion of the proposed Go Online which, it is hoped, can go into production quickly. To assist with these discussions, you are required to prepare a financial report package for the meeting regarding cloud 9scurrent liquidity condition and the expected financial implications of the Go Onlineproposal under consideration.
