Introduction
Financial performance analysis is the process of evaluating a company's financial health and
operational efficiency by examining various financial metrics and ratios. This analysis helps
stakeholders, such as investors, creditors, and management, to assess the company's profitability,
liquidity, solvency, and overall effectiveness in utilizing its resources. By conducting financial
performance analysis, stakeholders can make informed decisions regarding investment, lending, and
strategic planning. Bond issuance eligibility analysis involves evaluating the suitability and readiness
of a corporation or entity to issue bonds in the financial markets. This process typically involves a
comprehensive assessment of the issuer’s creditworthiness, financial stability, and ability to meet its
debt obligations. Factors considered in bond issuance eligibility analysis may include the issuer’s
credit rating, financial performance, cash flow projections, debt levels, collateral, market conditions,
and regulatory requirements. The analysis aims to determine whether the issuer has the necessary
financial strength and credibility to successfully issue bonds, attract investors, and fulfill its debt
obligations over the bonds tenure. It helps both issuers and investors gauge the risks associated with
bond issuance and make informed decisions regarding investment opportunities in the bond market.

Debt to total assets ratio (DTA)
The Debt to Total Assets (DTA) ratio is a financial metric used to measure the proportion of a
company's assets that are financed by debt. It is calculated by dividing total debt by total assets. The
formula for the Debt to Total Assets ratio is:
Debt to total assets ratio (DTA) = Total Liabilities/Total Assets
Total debt includes both short-term and long-term debt obligations, such as loans, bonds, and other
forms of debt financing. Total assets represent all of the resources owned by the company, including
both tangible assets like property, equipment, and inventory, as well as intangible assets like patents
and trademarks.

From the data and graph, The DTA ratio has been steadily increasing over the three-year period.
Moving from 0.653 in 2019 to 0.681 in 2021 indicates a consistent upward trend in the proportion of
assets financed by debt.
From the data and graph,There has been a remarkable improvement in Robi Company's ROA over
the three-year period. The ratio has increased substantially from 0.09 in 2019 to 0.9 in 2021.
Eligibility
As per the requirement of the question the specific conditions were that the DTA shall not exceed
50% and the ROA shall be at least 10% in the latest year of analysis(i.e.,2021) but based on our
analysis we got DTA in our calculation 65.3%,66.9%,68.1% which is higher than 50% and ROA’s
values are 0.09%,0.8%,0.9% which is lower than 10%. so We can say that the selected company
