Assets:
We can see that total assets are decreasing from 2.2 million in 2020 to 2 million in 2022.
Total assets mainly decrease because of the decrease in current assets from 1.5 million in
2020 to 1 million in 2022. In addition, because of the decrease in tangible fixed assets
from 2.2 million in 2020 to 2 million in 2022.
Moreover, when assets go down, cash goes up. For example, Inventory – Stock is
decreasing from 395,723 in 2020 to 391,080 in 2021. So, the cash goes up and the
difference is (4,643).
Liabilities:
We can see that total liabilities decrease from 2 million in 2020 to 1.6 million in 2022 due
to the decrease of long-term payables from 1.6 million in 2020 to 1.2 million in 2022. In
addition, due to the decrease of short-term debt to banks from 120 000 in 2020 to 50 000
in 2022.
Moreover, when notes payable were decreasing from 8,994 in 2020 to 3,877 in 2021, cash
goes down. So, when liabilities increase, cash goes up.
Equity:
Equity is increasing from $105,390 in 2020 to $359,571 in 2022 because retained earnings
increase in these 2 years to $150,297 in 2022.

Common size IS index is
2020 2021 2022 2020 2021 2022
Liabilities: We can see that current liabilities are increasing from 18% in 2020 to 22%
because of the account payables from 9% in 2020 to 16% in 2022.
Concerning equity, it is increasing from 5% in 2020 to 18% in 2022 due to the retained
earning that increase to 15% in 2022.
Index bs:
Total current assets decrease to 66% in 2022 because cash & banks decrease from 27% in
2021 to 21% in 2022.
Also, fixed assets increase to 67% in 2022 because other fixed assets increase 256% in
2022.
In addition, total liabilities increase 50% in 2022 because account payables increase from
115% in 2021 to 150%.
Total equity increases from 2020 to 2022 by 241%
Index IS:
Gross profit increase from 95% in 2021 to 116% in 2022 due to the increase of net sales.
EBITDA decrease from 48% in 2021 to 43% in 2022 because expenses of the company are
increasing.
EBIT is decreasing from 43% in 2021 to 35% in 2022 because depreciation between these
2 years is increasing.
So, net profit after taxes is decreasing from 43% in 2021 to 33% in 2022 which means that
the company is generating in 2022 less than it generated in 2021.

1. Current ratio:
• Type: liquidity ratio
• High or low: high
• Measurement: Measures whether current assets are sufficient to fund current
liabilities.
• Formula: CA/CL
• Calculation:
- CR 2020: 1584719/396179= 4
- CR 2021: 1068223/341515= 3.13
- CR 2022: 1052086/431591= 2.4
• Interpretation:
- 2020: For each 1$ of CL, the company has 4$ of CA.
If it liquidates all its CA, it will cover all its CL and will have excess cash.
- 2021: For each 1$ of CL, the company has 3.13$ of CA.
If it liquidates all its CA, it will cover all its CL and will have excess cash.
- 2022: For each 1$ of CL, the company has 2.4$ of CA.
If it liquidates all its CA, it will cover all its CL and will have excess cash.
In these 3 years, the company is doing less because, the CR of the company in
2020,2021 and 2022 is lower than the CR of the industry.
2. Quick ratio:
• Calculation:
• Interpretation:
- 2020: For every 1$ of CL, the company has 3$ of CA excluding inventory. If it
liquidates all its CA except inventory, it will cover all its CL and will have excess cash.
- 2022: For every 1$ of CL, the company has 1.3$ of CA excluding inventory. If it
liquidates all its CA except inventory, it will cover all its CL and will have excess cash.
In 2021 and 2022, the company is doing less because, the QR of the company in 2021 and
2022 is lower than the QR of the industry.
• Calculation:
• Interpretation:
- 2020: the company needs an average of 28 days to convert its AR into Cash.
- 2021: the company needs an average of 35 days to convert its AR into Cash.
- 2022: the company needs an average of 44 days to convert its AR into Cash.
In these 3 years, the company is providing a longer-term credit to the industry (ACP
company higher than ACP industry).
• Interpretation:
- 2020: For every 1$ of sales, the company have 206 days of inventory turnover.
- 2021: For every 1$ of sales, the company have 222 days of inventory turnover.
- 2022: For every 1$ of sales, the company have 196 days of inventory turnover.
The company’s inventory ratio from 2020 to 2022 is lower than the industry’s ratio, which
indicates a good sign for the company.
6. Dept to equity:
In 2020, the dept to equity of the company is equal to the dept to equity of the industry.
However, in 2021 and 2022, the Dept of equity of the company is lower than the dept to
equity of the industry.
• Calculation :
- 2020 : 2063498/ 2168889 = 0.95
- 2021 : 1407652 / 1657949 = 0.85
- 2022 : 1668839 / 2028409= 0.82
• Interpretation :
- 2020: For each 1$ of assets, the company have 0.95$ of debts.
- 2021: For each 1$ of assets, the company have 0.85$ of debts.
- 2022: For each 1$ of assets, the company have 0.82$ of debts.
In these 3 years, the company have a DTA ratio higher than the DTA ratio of the industry,
which is not a good sign.
2020: Dept to asset of the company is higher than Dept to asset of the industry.
2021: DTA of the company is lower than the DTA of the industry.
2022: DTA of the company is lower than the DTA of the industry.
In 2021 and 2022, the company have a dept to asset ratio lower than the Dept to asset
ratio of the industry, which is a good sign.
• Interpretation:
- 2020: For every 1$ of sales, the company generates 0.14$ of NI.
- 2021: For every 1$ of sales, the company generates 0.07$ of NI.
- 2022: For every 1$ of sales, the company generates 0.04$ of NI.
We can say that the company is underperforming because the NI of the company is lower
than the NI of the industry.
9.Average Payable Period:
The company takes longer time than the industry from 2020 to 2022, which is a good
indicator. So, they keep their cash longer when there is more time to pay off its debt.
• Calculation:
- ARx 2020= 2,264,161/176,727= 12.8x
- ARx 2021= 2,119,727/203,415= 10.4x
- ARx 2022= 2,739,574/ 331,439= 8.2x
• Interpretation:
We can see that the company ARx is decreasing from 12.8x in 2020 to 8.2x in 2022.
• Comparison with the industry:
•
The ARx shows a decrease throughout the three years meaning it is getting paid the
customers debts slower and should speed up that process.
• Interpretation :
We can see that the GPM is decreasing in general from 69% in 2020 to 66% in 2022.
And it shows that the company is making less money per dollar of sales.
The industry gross profit is at 69% same as 2020. It increased to 70% in 2021 showing
a better result because the company is controlling its expenses and more financially
stable.
Moreover, in 2022 this number decrease below the industry average showing that the
company is making less money per dollar of sale.
12. Return on Equity:
• Calculation:
• Interpretation:
We can see that return on equity is decreasing from 315% in 2020 to 30% in 2022
which indicates that the company is generating less profit in 2022 than 2020.
The return on equity in 2020, 2021 and 2022 are: 315%, 70,58% and 30,39%. They are
lower than the industry average.
As calculations show, a huge decrease between the year 2020 and 2021 and a smaller
decrease between 2021 and 2022 showing negative results because a lower
percentage means that the company profitability decreased to the amount of
shareholders equity.
So, the company is generating less profit per dollar of shareholders equity.
• Calculation :
• Interpretation :
We can see that return on assets is decreasing from 0.15% in 2020 to 0.05% in 2022
which indicates that the company is not making enough income from the use of its
assets.
The return on assets in 2020, 2021 and 2022 are: 0.15%, 0.09% and 0.05%. They are
lower than the industry average that is at 17%. It means that return on assets the
company is not making enough income from the use of its assets.
5. Based on all the above, analyze the financial position of the company.
In conclusion, we can see from the balance sheet that assets in 2020, 2021
and 2022 are more than liabilities, and liabilities are decreasing. Till now, it
means that the company has a strong financial health. Also, total equity is
increasing indicating that the company is utilizing its resources efficiently to
generate financial support for its options.
The income statement shows that the gross profit is increasing from 2020 to
2022 but EBIT and net profit before taxes is decreasing because of the
expenses that are increasing from 2020 to 2022. So, when expenses are
increasing, this is a bad sign for the company, and the firm should reduce
expenses in its business using comfortable methods.
Concerning ratios, return on equity is decreasing from 2020 to 2022, this ratio
should be increased to the company’s management will be more efficient and
will produce more growth.
The company can improve its profitability while selling more, higher price and
reducing costs.
