7. Read the dialogue between Andrew, a financial analyst, and his friend Bob. Do you agree with Andrew’s view on the problem? Can you add anything to his arguments? Reproduce the main points of the dialogue. If you have your personal or opposing opinion on the problem, express it in your dialogue.
Bob – Good morning, Andrew! How are you getting on?
Andrew – Oh, Bob! Nice to see you. Any problems? You look so anxious.
Bob – I need your professional advice, Andrew. You see, I want to invest
money into some company.
Andrew – A good idea. I’ll do my best to help you. So, what are you going to
begin with?
Bob – I think first of all I’ll have to read the annual reports to learn about
the company’s financial strength and profit potential.
Andrew – In fact most publicly traded corporations “tell all” in their financial
reports to shareholders, but finding the important information in them isn’t easy. You’ll need to know how to read annual reports.
Bob – Would you help me then? I fully trust to your expertise and
experience.
Andrew – Glad to hear that. The point is that the real story about the
company’s financial health is often buried in footnotes and dense
tables.
Bob – What do you mean?
Andrew – Any certified public accountant will tell you right off the bat if a
company’s report conforms with “generally accepted accounting
principles” .Then go to the footnotes. Check to see whether
earnings are up or down. If they are down only because of a
change in accounting, maybe that’s good! The company owes less
tax and has more money in its pocket.
Bob – And if earnings are up?
Andrew – Maybe that’s bad. They may be up because of a special windfall
that won’t happen again next year. The footnotes often tell the
whole story.
Bob – What about the letter from the chairman addressed to the
shareholders? I guess, the chairman’s tone reflects the personality,
the well-being of the company.
Andrew – In this letter the chairman should tell you how the company fared
this year. But more important, the letter should tell you why. Keep
an eye out for sentences that start with “ Except for …” and “
Despite the…” They’re clues to problems.
Bob – What’s the way to avoid problems?
Andrew – Find out what happened and why. For example, look for what’s
new in each line of business. Is management getting the company
in good shape to weather the tough and competitive years ahead?
Bob – What other sources can be used to find the important information ?
Andrew – One source is a balance sheet. Begin digging into the numbers!
The difference between current assets and current liabilities is
working capital, a key figure to watch from one annual report to
another. If working capital shrinks, it could mean trouble.
Bob – I see. The second basic source of numbers is the income
statement, isn’t it?
Andrew – You’re right. It shows how much money the company made or lost
over the year. By the way, what figure in the income statement
would you first look at?
Bob – It’s in the income statement at the bottom: earnings per share.
Andrew – Watch out. It can fool you! The company’s management could
boost earnings by selling off a plant. Or by cutting the budget for
research and advertising.
Bob – It sounds true. What number in the income statement is worth
looking at first then?
Andrew – The number you should look at first is net sales. When sales go
down, the company may be in trouble and it is selling off a losing
business.. If so, profits may be soaring.
Bob – I never thought that figuring out an annual report was going to be
so difficult! What else should I know?
Andrew – Get out your pocket calculator, and turn to the balance sheet.
Divide long-term liabilities by owners’ equity. That’s the debt-to-
equity ratio.
Bob – What does it mean?
Andrew – A high ratio means the company borrows a lot of money to spark its
growth. That’s okay – if sales grow, too, and if there’s enough cash
on hand to meet the payments.
Bob – A company doing well on borrowed money can earn big profits for
its shareholders. Am I right?
Andrew – Sure. But if sales fall, watch out. The whole enterprise may slowly
sink. Some companies can handle high ratios; the others can’t.
Bob – What would you advise me in this case?
Andrew – You have to compare. Is the company’s debt-to-equity ratio better
or worse than it used to be? Better or worse than the industry
norms? Better or worse after this recession than it was after the
last recession ? In company-watching, comparisons are all. They
tell you if management is staying on top of things.
Bob – Thank you very much, Andy. I appreciate your helping me greatly.
Andrew – Always glad to help an old friend. And keep in mind – each year,
companies give you more and more information in their annual
reports. Profiting from that information is up to you. I hope you
profit from mine.
