Question #2

Ahmed enjoyed the bank training course, but it was good to be starting his first real job in the corporate lending group. Earlier that morning the boss handed him a set of financial statements of Kansai Paints Co. Kansai Paints she said, has a $1 million loan from us due at the end of December, and it is likely to ask us to roll it over. The company seems to have run into some rough weather recently, and I have asked Khalid to go down there this afternoon and see what is happening. It might do you good to go along with him. Before you go, take a look at these financial statements and see what you think the problems are. Heres a chance for you to use some of that stuff they taught you in the training course; Ahmed was familiar with Kansai Paints story. Founded in 1990, it had rapidly built up a chain of outlets selling construction materials. However, last year a number of new store openings had pushed the company into loss. Management had halted all new construction and put 15 of its existing outlets up for sale. Ahmed decided to start with Kansai Paints companys comparative financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011. The market price of Kansais common stock was $25 on December 31,2012 and $30 on December 31, 2011.

Required:

a) Highlight the ratios which Ahmed should use to analyze companys situation.

b) Using ratio analysis highlight the problem areas (if any) of Kansai Paints Co.

c) Compare the ratios of two years to help decide that the loan should be extended or not.
