ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW ................................................................................................................................ 1
The financial position of the company is pretty solid. It is successfully maintaining its current
assets and current liabilities ensuring optimum liquidity and maximum profitability. The equity
base is also strong to support additional debt capital.
The company is also making good profit with lucrative profitability rates. The total equity of
the firm is also growing every year. So far, the company is performing very good.
Well, everything has its weaknesses, so does GHAIL. It has a poor ability to generate cash
flow. It is losing cash every year. Its declining cash-in-hand surely will hinder its performance
as well as its financial base.
The firm recognizes R&D costs as assets when it reaches the development stage, following the
rules. It also prepares consolidated financial statements the group composed of itself and its
subsidiary companies.

Chapter #1
Introduction
Methodology
The report has been prepared using the annual reports of GHAIL for the years of 2013-2014,
2014-2015 and 2015-2016. The financial statements have been collected from the official
website of the company. The statements have been analyzed properly using Microsoft Excel
Spreadsheets.
Limitations
While preparing the report we face some limitations. Some of them are:
Organizational Overview
Golden Harvest is Bangladesh’s one of the leading business groups with diversified interests
in Food, Dairy, Commodity, Information Technology, Logistics, Real Estate, Aviation,

its business and is now a leading force behind various business sectors and employing over

commercial South Asian art dedicated event.

Chapter #2
Financial Position
From the common size financial position of the firm, we can see that the firm is maintain a
Equity-to-Total-Assets ratio of about 66% or 67%. It is obvious that 2/3 of the Total Assets
come from Equity and the rest comes from Debt Financing. The financial position seems pretty
strong. Now if we consider liquidity, the company maintain the Current Assets at a level where
it is slightly higher than the Current Liabilities; but not exceeding too much. This level of
liquidity ensures the ability of the firm to pay off its Current Liabilities and also invest the
maximum portion of its Current Assets to maintain higher profitability. Non-current Liabilities
are also at a moderate level. So, we can easily conclude that the firm is maintaining a pretty
strong financial position for the last three years.

Chapter #3
Financial Performance
Well, if we take a look of the Common Sized Statement of Comprehensive Income (see
Appendix 2A, 2B and 2C), we will find out that the company is doing good in making profit also.
Let’s have a glimpse of the Common Sized Statements of Comprehensive Income of the
company for the last three years:
Now, what do we see from the table? It’s obvious that the firm is making a Gross Profit of
about 50% of its Total Revenue and also making a Net Profit After Tax at a range of 16%-18%.
Both of them indicates that the firm is making a very good amount of profit compared to its
Total Revenue. The firm is also allocating its shareholders with a substantial EPS (earning per
share), which is increasing every year. So, we can conclude that the firm is also a profitable
one as well as it is a firm with a strong financial position.

Chapter #4
Changes in Equity
Simply, if we look at the Statement of Changes in Equity, we will find our answer. So, let’s
have a look of the Statement of the Changes in Equity for the last three years:
In the table, we can clearly see that the Total Equity is increasing every year at an increasing
rate. So, the owners surely are getting the benefit of high profitability of the firm. We began
this chapter with a question- whether the firm is serving its ultimate goal; maximizing the
wealth of the shareholders. Now, in a simple sense, we surely can conclude that the firm is
serving on behalf of the interest of the shareholders.

Chapter #5
Cash Flow
To test this, we will look into the Statement of Cash Flows (see Appendix 4A, 4B and 4C). Let’s
have a look:
In the table we can see that the firm is spending more cash then it is generating. Its operating
cash flow to total revenue ratio is somewhat around 25%. It has a negative net change in cash
and cash equivalents of three consecutive years. Clearly, cash-in-hand of the firm is decreasing
every year.
Well, in the previous chapters we have seen that the firm is maintaining a satisfactory rate of
profit and a solid financial position, along with the fact that the firm is increasing the value of
its equity. But now we see that the cash outflow is higher than that of the cash inflow.
Page | 6
It gives us a very clear message that:
Well, investing is good. It indicates that future cash flow is coming. But in this case, we cannot
see any increase in the cash flow for three consecutive years. So, investing cash outflow is not
justifying its bad cash performance. On the other hand, paying off all debts is not good either.
Keeping a certain amount of debt capital is important for lowering the cost of capital. So,
finally, we can conclude that the firm is not performing good enough from the angle of
generating cash flow.

Chapter #6
Intangible Assets
Well, we know that lots of discretions can be used in recording intangible assets. We will have
a quick overview of the changes of intangible assets of GHAIL over a period of three years.
Let’s have a look:
Intangible Assets
*both of the addition during the year indicates the cost incurred for the ERP system
which is in the development stage. (from notes to the Statements of Financial Position)
(Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd., 2014)
(Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd., 2015)
(Golden Harvest Agro Industries Ltd., 2016)
We can see that the company is recognizing the cost for the ERP system over the years which
is in development stage. The costs in the research stage have been recognized as expenses. So,
we can conclude that the firm recognizes its R&D expenses as assets when it reaches the
development stage.

Chapter #7
Consolidation
By now we know that Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited has investments in subsidiaries
and associates. We will shortly look into the effects of consolidation in the Statement of
Financial Position and Statement of Profit and Loss for the year 2015-2016.

Statement of Comprehensive Income
for the year ended at June 30, 2016
The Company Consolidated
Revenue 624,438,657 1,427,568,390
Cost of goods sold (320,284,720) (773,012,955)
Gross profit 304,153,937 654,555,435
If we carefully look into the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of
Comprehensive Income, we will find that following changes are taking place when we are
preparing consolidated statements from the statements of the individual company:
Page | 10
In the Statement of Financial Position:
All the assets of subsidiaries are being added to the assets of the company;
All the liabilities of the subsidiaries are being added to the existing liabilities of the
company;
Investment in subsidiaries is being removed;
The total assets of the consolidated identity exceeding the sum of total liabilities of the
consolidated identity and the equity of the principal company is termed as the equity
attributable to the non-controlling interest.
In the Statement of Comprehensive Income:
All the revenues and expenses of the company and the subsidiaries are added together;
Effects of intra-group transactions are abolished;
A portion of the net profit is attributed to the minority owners which is proportional to
their ownership in the subsidiaries;
Page | 11
Conclusion
After this brief financial analysis of Golden Harvest Agro Industries Limited, we can sum up
that the company has quite a solid financial position and making profit at a very good rate. The
equity of the shareholders in also increasing every year. But the company has scope of
betterment in the generation of cash flow. Cash is flowing out more than it is flowing in, which
can be proved to be perilous for the company. If the company can improve in this sector, it can
sustain longer as a profit making strong-based company.
In this brief analysis we have also seen that the company records R&D costs as assets when it
reaches the development stage, which justifies our classroom learnings. We also have seen how
consolidating the statements of the subsidiary companies with the holding company changes
the items of the statements of the holding company.
