...Chapter One Introduction 1.1 Origin of the Report Non-Banking Financial Institutions represent one of the most important segments of the financial system of Bangladesh and play a very important role in mobilizing and channeling resources In the present day socio-economic scenario, the leasing companies have been continuously playing an increased role in financing industry, trade and commerce and housing, thereby contributing significantly to the economic development of the country. The leasing sector has contributed significantly over the years, despite several constraints. With the challenges of time, the overall growth of the leasing business achieved through diversification of products and services and aggressive marketing with special focus on the SME sector, is indicative of the industry’s contribution to our national economy. It is worth mentioning that, within two decades; the leasing companies have emerged as an alternative source of finance and well sought after arm for credit for SMEs. In order to catch up with the demands of time, most leasing companies have diversified their products and services into other areas like small loans, housing loans, start-up working capital and domestic factoring of accounts receivable. Further to reducing dependence on traditional borrowings from banks for meeting their working capital requirements, some of them have already introduced new financial instruments like Bonds, Securitization of Assets, Syndication...

...The increasing trend of the current ratio from 2001 to 2002 suggests that the company is capable in paying its short-term obligations. However, it can also be a signal that the company has problems collecting its receivables or have long inventory turnover, both symptoms that the company may not be efficiently using its current assets. Thus, extensive substantive measures should be done. While the declining ratio may be a sign of deteriorating financial condition or it may be the result of eliminating obsolete inventories or idle current assets. But still, the current ratio at 2003 is above 2, the ideal ratio. The gross profit margin ratio consistently increased from 41.1% in 2001 to 41.6% in 2002 and 41.9% in 2003. This profitability analysis ratio measures how much from a company's revenue is available to cover overhead, other expenses and profits. A high gross profit margin indicates that the company can make a reasonable profit, as long as it keeps the overhead cost in control. In running a business it is but...

...of return for shareholders. Credit risk is most simply defined as the potential that a bank borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms. The goal of credit risk management is to maximize a bank's risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Banks need to manage the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits or transactions. Banks should also consider the relationships between credit risk and other risks. The effective management of credit risk is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to risk management and essential to the long-term success of any banking organization. Prime Bank primarily lends for trade finance although some amount of project financing is also undertaken. The bank has generally maintained a conservative approach towards lending and management claims that their credit appraisal process is more stringent than that of its local peers. The Prime bank follows a two-tier credit screening process: the branch prepares a credit proposal and sends it to the Head Office, where the credit officers analyze the business...

...McDonald's | RESEARCH SUMMARY Highlights I issue a Hold recommendation with a target price of $100.86. I’m issuing a hold recommendation on McDonald’s based on a relatively weak five-year growth potential forecasted. From the predicted financial statement, McDonald's Corp.’s revenue growth rate is restricted around 0.3% to 4.06%, which may be influenced by the negative media coverage in 2014. Despite these issues, we can still expect a slight increase in MacDonald’ stock, due to their tied-to-real-estate business. | | | Stable, but not strong financials: Stable Cash, Slightly Decreasing Leverage and Stable margin Market Profile | 52wk Range: | 87.62 - 103.78 | Volume: | 7,282,677 | Avg Vol (3m): | 7,457,610 | Market Cap: | 92.50B | P/E (ttm): | 21.65 | EPS (ttm): | 4.46 | Div & Yield: | 3.40 (3.50%) | I’m estimating McDonald’s to have stable financials over the next five years due to its weak growth potential.

Investors are probably asking, “Is this the beginning of the end? Is HD trying to grow too fast?” So why did HD’s profit decline in fiscal 1985? The company offers several explanations; all related to growth. • However, was HD growing faster in 1985 relative to other years? (No, look at Exhibit 1 and your own analysis) • Did they suddenly become a high growth company in 1985? (No.) • So, why is growth the reason for declining profitability in 1985 but not in prior years? • What is the real reason for the sudden decline in profitability that the company is not telling, and the reason for why stock price is declining?

...Owners and managers use financial statements to make important long-term business decisions. For example: whether or not to continue or discontinue part of its business, to make or purchase certain materials, or to acquire or rent/lease certain equipment in the production of its goods. Prospective investors use financial statements to perform financial analysis, which is a key component in making investment decisions. A lending institution will examine the financial health of a person or organization and use the financial statement to decide whether or not to lend funds. Financial analysis Financial analysis (also referred to as financial statement analysis) refers to an assessment of the viability, stability, and profitability of an organization or project. What we hope to do in this article is show how four principles, or cornerstones, can help senior executives and board members make some of their most important decisions. The four cornerstones are disarmingly simple: 1. The core-of-value principle establishes that value creation is a function of returns on capital and growth, while highlighting some important subtleties associated with applying these concepts. 2. The conservation-of-value principle says that it doesn’t matter how you slice the financial pie with financial engineering, share repurchases, or acquisitions; only improving cash flows will create value. 3. The expectations treadmill principle explains how movements in a company’s share price reflect changes...

...Case 9 & 10 Analysis Seagate Technology Buyout The Hertz Corporation Advanced Corporate Finance MW 2:00-3:15 PM Question 1 On page 1, the “value-gap” is two-fold. It signifies an under-valuation of Seagate’s core disk drive operating assets due to unfavorable public market investor preferences. Furthermore, the value of the Veritas share price has caused the Veritas stake to far outweigh the value of Seagate’s stand-alone market capitalization. Since Seagate does not own at least 80% of the voting stock in Veritas, distributing the wealth intrinsic in that stake to Seagate shareholders would prove difficult due to the hefty corporate tax rate of 34% that would erode its full-value. From a sum of the parts perspective, it seems that since the Veritas shares held by Seagate appreciated by more than 200%, while Seagate’s shares only increased by 25%, the market assigned relatively no value to Seagate’s market leading position in the disk drive business. This lack of market recognition for the true value of Seagate’s assets forced management to seek action. The management believed that the value of Seagate should be attributed to the value of its operating assets. Since the market was attributing such a high value to its Veritas stake, the market made it appear that Seagate was an investment holding company, rather than being in the disk drives business. There also seemed to be a “value-gap” in the sense that the Veritas stake is attached to business risk in the software...
