Integrated Case KPB Inc., Part II Financial Statement Analysis Part I of this case discussed the situation that KPB Inc., a regional snack-foods producer, was in after an expansion program. KPB had increased plant capacity and undertaken a major marketing campaign in an attempt to go national. Thus far, sales have not been up to the forecasted level, costs have been higher than were projected, and a large loss occurred in 2005 rather than the expected profit. As a result, its managers, directors, and investors are concerned about the firms survival. Donna Jamison was brought in as assistant to Fred Campo, KPBs chairman, who had the task of getting the company back into a sound financial position. KPBs 2004 and 2005 balance sheets and income statements, together with projections for 2006, are given in Tables IC 4-1 and IC 4-2. In addition, Table IC 4-3 gives the companys 2004 and 2005 financial ratios, together with industry average data. The 2006 projected financial statement data represent Jamisons and Campos best guess for 2006 results, assuming that some new financing is arranged to get the company over the hump. Jamison examined monthly data for 2005 (not given in the case), and she detected an improving pattern during the year. Monthly sales were rising, costs were falling, and large losses in the early months had turned to a small profit by December. Thus, the annual data look somewhat worse than final monthly data. Also, it appears to be taking longer for the advertising program to get the message across, for the new sales offices to generate sales, and for the new manufacturing facilities to operate efficiently. In other words, the lags between spending money and deriving benefits were longer than KPBs managers had anticipated. For these reasons, Jamison and Campo see hope for the companyprovided it can survive in the short run. Jamison must prepare an analysis of where the company is now, what it must do to regain its financial health, and what actions should be taken. Your assignment is to help her answer the following questions. Provide clear explanations, not yes or no answers.

1. Use the extended Du Pont equation to provide a summary and overview of KPBs financial condition as projected for 2006. What are the firms major strengths and weaknesses?
