EXCECUTIVE SUMMARY

The main aim for this research paper is to measure the performance of theorganization which we have chosen, the I-POWER BHD based on several areas

which determine the financial strength of the organization. The task of this study is to

finalize whether or not it is a good company to invest in, by using the elements

 provided by the financial statements.

We begin with our collection of financial statements from the annual reports

of the organization for five consecutive years, 2005 until 2009. From which, we have

chosen 4 different areas which are; Short-term liquidity, solvency, profitability and

the equity analyses. Each of these areas we are required to gather at least three ratios

in order to be more precise on our findings and the ratios which we have chosen

cannot be any more detailed. As for the equity analysis, we had to look for the market

 prices of the organization through the websites listed in the references, in search for 

historic prices.

Graphical analyses were constructed for the convenience of illustrating,

together with the definitions and contributions of the ratios would be to the

8/7/2019 I-POWER BERHAD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/i-power-berhad 4/28

organization. With our findings and fundamental analyses of calculations of the

ratios, we also provided relevant announcements, news and events accordingly to the

ratios, which can be referred to as technical analysis, to extricate any financial doubts

and to encourage a better understanding of the financial data. Also, important and

essential financial data were collected from the financial statements for five years,

relevant only to the ratios we selected, for a much better observation rather than

viewing the annual reports. As for the detailed calculations, they are attached in the

appendices at the end of this research paper, together with only relevant financial

statements.

Lastly, we provide suggestions whether or not this organization should invest

more in other business-related opportunities and if the financial performance of this

organization is increasing at a rapid pace. Based on the results of the ratios, we

 provide promising and guaranteed views to investors based on the fundamental and

technical analyses, if the organization is worth investing in.

and according to their analysis based on those financial statements, theseorganizations take the opportunities to make any financial changes due to certain

restricted or non-restricted obligations. Financial statement analysis, which is an

integral and important part of the broader field of business analysis, includes

analyzing a company’s business environment, its strategies and its financial standing

C. GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

Short-term liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to convert assets into cash or to obtain cash to meet

short-term obligations. Short-term is conventionally viewed as a period up to one

year, though it is identified with the normal operating cycle of a company (the time

 period encompassing the buying-producing-selling-colleting cycle). The importance

of liquidity is best seen by considering repercussion stemming from a company’sinability to meet short-term obligations. It compares all the current assets of a

company to all the current liabilities.

current ratio

Current ratio is current asset divide by current liabilities. The purpose is to

measures the liquid assets that provide a safety cushion to creditors and the liquid

reserve available to meet contingencies and the uncertainties surrounding a

company’s balance of cash flow.

Current ratio for I-POWER BHD for year 2006 is 28.06:1, 2007 is 3.36:1,

2008 is 99.08:1,and 2009 is 42.47:. In the year of 2008, I-POWER BHD has 99.08:1

of current assets for every single RM of current liabilities.

We can conclude that current assets is easy to convert into cash and available

to cover current liabilities. Company can decrease their current ratio by making

A more stringent test of liquidity uses the acid-test (quick) ratio. There are

28.36:1 in year 2006, 3.36 in year 2007, 52.88 in year 2008 and 12.32:1 in year 2009.

This shows that, provided creditors and debtors are paid at approximately the

different time, a view might be made as to whether the business has sufficient liquid

resources to meet its current liabilities.

Account receivable turnover is measures the number of times account

receivables were collected during the year. It also measure of how well the company

collects sales on credit from its customers, just as average collection period measures

this in days. A high or increasing in accounts receivables turnover is usually a

 positive sign and showing that company is successfully executing its credit policies

and quickly turning its account receivable into cash. So we can see that the account

receivable turnover ratio in year 2006 is 1.96:1, 2007 is 1.94:1, year 2008 is 3.69:1,

and year 2009 is 3.19:1. The high in account receivable turnover for year 2008 and

2009 has given the positive impact to the I-POWER BERHAD.

capital

Capital structure refers to the sources of financing for a company. Financingcan range from relatively permanent equity capital to more risky or temporary short-

term financing sources. Once a company obtains financing, it subsequently invests it

in various assets. Assets represent secondary sources of security for lenders and range

from loans secured by specific assets to assets available as general security for 

unsecured creditors. These and other factors yield different risks associated with

different assets and financing sources.

It is showed that positions of company are very well in 2006, which is 0.023,

0.0074 in 2008 and 0.016 in 2009. While in 2007, it showed a quite high the total

debt than total capital. The lowest the total debt ratio is the better, liabilities less,

asset more.

It also compared the company’s amount owed to creditor (total liabilities) to

the amount supplied by investors of the company (total shareholders’ equity), total

debt to equity capital. As we can see from the calculation is for the year 2006 to

8/7/2019 I-POWER BERHAD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/i-power-berhad 18/28

2009 is 0.024:1, 0.371:1, 0.0075:1, 0.017:1, and 0.88:1 respectively. Total debt less

than shareholder showed that the company is solvency.

The long-term debt to equity capital is measures the relation of long-term

debt (usually defined as all non-current liabilities) to equity capital. A ratio in excess

of 1:1 indicates greater long-term debt financing compared to equity capital. This

ratio is commonly referred to as the debt to equity ratio and it is computed as long-

term debt / shareholders’ equity. For the year 2006, long term debt to shareholder 

equity is 0.25 %, 0.14% in 2007, 0.1% in 2008 and 0.11% in 2009. We can conclude

that equity for the four years is higher than long term debt.

Altman's Z score is the tried and tested formula for bankruptcy prediction. It has

 been demonstrated to be quite reliable in a variety of contexts and countries. It is not

designed to be used in every situation. Before using a Z score to make predictions,one must ensure the firm being examined is comparable to the database.

It is a fact that if the Z-Score of less than 1.20, it shows that the company is

most likely to witness a high probability of bankruptcy, and if the Z-Score shows a

value of more than 2.90, it implies a low probability of bankruptcy for the

organization. As for values between 1.20 and 2.90, they represent ambiguous area.

As we can see, in the year 2006, the organization implies a low probability of 

 bankruptcy, while in year 2007 and 2008, its show that organization is between the

range of zone of ignorance of bankrupt and non-bankrupt probability. In the year 

2009 for the I-POWER BHD, the organization was on the verge of bankruptcy due to

the values for the years which show less than 1.20.

We can finalize that the organization has tried its best to maintain a financial

standing which impose situations where they avoid such risks of loss in year 2007 and

2008, but it cannot maintain in a long run until 2009.

PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS

Profitability refers to a company’s earnings relative to both the level and

source of financing and it is a measure of a company’s success in using financing to

generate profits. In the world of finance, the performance measures which are always

in common use are revenue, net income and asset growth. It is an important indicator 

of a company’s long-term financial strength.

Return on invested capital can also be known as profitability. It allows

comparisons with alternative investment opportunities and it impacts a company’s

ability to succeed, attract financing, repay creditors and reward owners. Profitability

conveys return on invested capital from different financing perspectives and it allows

managers to conduct proper financing plans, budgets, activities co ordinations and

control.

I-POWER BHD studies on profitability area were finalized mainly using three

ratios and they are net profit margin, total asset turnover, and return on total

equity Those ratios would aid many parties especially the investors, to properly

analyze the organization’s financial performance, based on the observations of the

annual reports from the years 2005 to 2009.

We can conclude that even I-POWER BHD is a company in healthy condition

 but it showed the company has an inefficient in management because the percentage

earned by shareholder for their investment are decrease from 2006 until 2009. Total

turnover increased from 2006 1.0810 to 1.3084 in 2007, but it decrease in the

following two years, that is 0.8667 and 0.2089 in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

EQUITY ANALYSIS

Equity analysis extends the analyses of financial statements to consider 

earnings persistence, valuation and forecasting. Earnings persistence is defined to

include the stability, predictability, variability, and trend in earnings. The equity

valuation analysis emphasizes earnings and other accounting measures for computing

company value. The earnings forecasting considers earning power, estimation

techniques, and monitoring mechanisms. Equity basically refers to shareholders

financing and the analysis of this area involves analyzing equity characteristics which

include classifying and distinguishing different equity sources, examining rights for 

equity classes and priorities in liquidation, evaluation legal restrictions for equity

distribution, reviewing restrictions on retained earnings distribution and lastly,

assessing terms and provisions of potential equity issuances.

D. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

I-POWER BHD are being analysed in term of its capital structure, short term

liquidity, profitability analysis and equity analysis. We can conclude that the

company was not efficiently operated based on their performance. Current asset of 

the company is easy to convert into cash quick and fast to create a new business

opportunity and it is a clear signal that a company pay its debts that are coming due in

the near future and still fund its ongoing operations. It also showed that the company

available to cover liabilities, while it is an inefficient use of resource reduced rate of 

return.

I-POWER BHD was in healthy condition which showed by Smith Z-score in

every year is above zero. From Altman Z-score, it showed that the company is in low

  probability for bankruptcy in 2006 but the company is in high probability for 

 bankruptcy in 2009, it is mean the creditors are not in well protected. The company

has an inefficient management and an inefficient in utilized all their assets to generate

a profit. It is showed an increasing in growth opportunity from 2006 to 2009. But in

the other hands, it is show a decreasing in worth value that can be gain with every

ringgit year by year.

Corporate social responsibility is a concept whereby I-Power holds with

utmost importance in taking responsibilities for the impact of activities on customers,

employees, shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspect of 

organizations operations. I-Power is fully aware that the obligation extends beyond in

statutory obligation to comply with legislation and therefore voluntarily taking further 

steps to improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as for the

local community and society at large.

a. From a point of view of a banker, does the company deserve additional

working capital loan? Justify your answer.

I-POWER BERHAD raise their fund from borrow loans from bank or issue

share or debentures to public. Either banker or investor, they will analysis company’s

 performance from financial ratios to decide whether company worth to invest or not.

But the ratios that banker and investors used to decide whether they should invest in

that company are different.

For bankers, they will more consent on company future performance and ability

to pay back the loans. Ratios which show the company liquidity, profitability, capitalstructure and solvency are more important for banker. They will use these ratios to

decide they should approve a loan to that company. I-POWER BERHAD liquidity is

favourable to bankers.

I-POWER BERHAD acid test ratio is considered in good condition because it

has a ratio of more than 1 for each year in the rule of thumb. Company’s solvency

ratios had make bankers reassurance about company ability to pay back the loan.

Total debts to equity capital ratios are not more than 1 for past 5 years, which mean

company do not have heavily rely on debt.

The profitability for the company is decreased. Net profit margin is decreased

from 2006 to 2009. Nevertheless, this show that the company performance in

management has to improve in their operating activities which will reduce their 

operating costs. The profitability for I-POWER BHD is showing a bad sign in

company capital structure and solvency. The banker will facing a long term period in

collected the loan and the loan borrowed to the company have the higher risk will

 become bad debt to the banker.

 

b. From a point of view of an investor, is this company considered as a good

investment? Justify your answer.

Investors will use profitability and equity analysis to decide they should invest

in that company or sell the company shares. Net profit margin for the company is

constant for this few years. One of the important ratios for investor is return on

common equity. This ratio will boost investor’s confidence to invest in this company.

The company had changed their operating activities to more efficient which will

reduce the operating costs. A good operating company will attract more investors. In

the other hand, the highest of the P/E ratio indicates the highest growth opportunities.

Since the I-POWER BERHAD P/E ratio is keep decreasing from the year of 2006 till

2009, it has made the investor dare not to invest in that company.
