Students must register for their group with the lecturer during the first three weeks of the trimester and are not allowed to change group members afterward. Topic for Group Written Report: Every group for this assignment is required to select the most current published annual report of a LISTED COMPANY in AUSTRALIA at https://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/listedCompanies.do. Please avoid selecting any financial services organisations such as commercial banks, trust etc. as they do not fit with the aims of this assignment. You are required to write a report to evaluate company’s performance as a business analyst, by using relevant resources (latest financial statements (annual reports), company’s website and relevant research materials). The prescribed textbook of this unit should also be utilised.  Hint: You have to be clever and pragmatic in selecting the company. It has to be large, substantial and must have the available information for desk research. You are required to explore and collect information on the company to complete this assignment. Then, answer ALL the following questions in your written group report: a) Company background and mission b) Common size & horizontal analysis of key financial statements. Various types of trend, bar & pie charts can be useful in the presentation of the analyzed results in your assessment submission. Students are expected to make very brief but pertinent comments regarding the findings. Comments could be related to the causes and significance of the increase or decrease of important variables such as PPE assets, intangibles, sales, EBIT, net income, capital structure. You should use at least 5-6 years of data to give a reasonable analysis. c) Cash Flow analysis. You would need to provide some commentary around what trends are emerging in the part of the Cash Flow Statement called cash flow from operations as a lot of the good news and bad news of a company is revealed there. Investors often look at this section before they bother with an income statement. a. You may want to take cash flow analysis further by including Free Cash flow to the Firm (FCFF) and Free Cash flow to Equity (FCFE) numbers. Have a look at Appendix A for more details. b. If you look at page 248 of your textbook, you will see Palepu referring to FCFF as free cash flow to debt and equity claim holders. He articulates FCFE as free cash flow to equity claim holders. Please refer to Appendix A for further clarification regarding Free Cash Flow. d) Liquidity Analysis. This would entail as a minimum a current ratio and a liquid ratio together with relevant commentary on receivables and payables and stock management, etc. https://kent.rtomanager.com.au/Staff/StaffControls/StaffPages/Staff_DocView.aspx https://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/listedCompanies.do Kent Institute Australia Pty.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Figure 3 Figure 4

Figure 5
In figure 1 showing sales of both the companies, it clearly indicates Bubs Organic had a steady growth rate as compared to Bellamy’s Organic. The reason of decline sale of Bellamy is decline in China’s demand impacted by regulatory change, lower birth rate and increased local competition. But the company targets to achieve $500Million revenue generation by FY21. In figure 2 and fig. 3 of EBIT and Net Income, Bellamy’s EBIT is better due to decreased long-term liabilities, as company has surplus cash and is free from such liabilities. Figure 4 shows Net Worth, as clearly indicated in the graph, both the companies have the same type of graph. In figure 5 shows robust growth in assets of both the companies, as both have heavily spend on capital expenditure to increase sales.
