On top of that, the financial and strategic objectives set by the management to meet its goals are also outlined in the body of the report. Through the analysis of the financial statements, the liquidity position of the group can be gauged by using a number of measures like the trade receivables and payables period, current and quick ratio, and also its working capital cycle. Collectively, these measures indicate that the group is relatively liquid in nature. Besides, an analysis of the capital structure of the group shows that there is a lack of equity funding as compared to debt funding in the past three years while the group moves to a more conservative approach in managing its debts. On the other hand, while its gearing ratio increases slightly as compared to the past year, it still meets the industry average ratio and hence poses no threat to the going concern of the group. In terms of the share price, it is noted that there is a significant decrease in share price of the group in year 2011 due to a share split involving subdivision of its existing shares to enhance its share liquidity. However, due to the fact that its growth rate in dividend is increasing annually, its share price is expected to increase in future periods. ...

In the past year itself, there has been an influx of international brands, which compete on the same playing field as Padini, the most recent being Japanese behemoth Uniqlo and Swedish fashion retailer H&M, which have opened their flagship stores in the Golden Triangle. We believe that given the growing size of the pot, the main barrier to entry would be with regards to the prime retail space which is getting scarce. 2. Bargaining power of buyers – high. The rising income levels, better education and greater access to a variety of brands and labels have resulted in a class of consumers more sophisticated in their needs and preferences. Where customer loyalty is of the utmost importance, retailers have strived to attain superior customer responsiveness by employing various methods of advertisements and promotions, loyalty programmes, as well as to increase customer’s perceived value of a brand. Brands catering to this expanding group of consumers have become numerous but more often than not, these brands pay more attention to the pricing strategies than to the perceived quality of the products under their brands.
