Following up with our initial analysis last week, NewGen had the opportunity to review CanGo’s financial statement. The success of a business depends on its ability to remain profitable over the long term, while being able to pay all its financial obligations and earning above average returns. NewGen leveraged our knowledge of Investment rations, breaking our analysis down into four (4) key areas, efficiency, financial leverage, liquidity and profitability. Attached you will find our financial analysis summary matrix.
1. Efficiency Ratio
We began with a look at your efficiency ratio, concentrating on your receivables turn over for the past year. This reflects the time between your sale and actual collection. If a company 's Turnover

b. Your Quick Ratio fell below a 1 to .95. As a common rule of thumb, a quick ratio of greater than 1.0 means a company is sufficiently able to meet their short-term liabilities. With CanGo’s falling below this threshold, could be indicative that your over-leveraged, struggling to maintain or grow sales, paying bills too quickly, or collecting receivables too slowly. This ties into our comments above on yor efficiency ratio (Investigatinganswers, 2012).
c. Working Capital for the past year reflected a negative balance almost 8.5m that will seriously impact on banking institutions percentage against planned activities.
4. Profitability NewGen’s final analysis was on CanGo’s profitability looking at your Return on Assets and Sales. CanGo’s return on assets reflected a .023 indicative that your more asset-intensive and must reinvest more money to continue generating earnings (About.com, 2012). Similarly, CanGo’s Return on Sales (ROS) was .17 (Investopedia, 2012).

Return on Total Assets was 4.43% which is below five percent. That indicates that the company is not accurately converting its assets into profit. The total for Return on Stockholders’ Equity was 8.89%, however financial analysts prefer ROE to range between 15-20 %. The company’s low ROE indicates that the company is not generating profit with new investments. Lastly, Debt-to-Equity ratio for the company was 1.01 which indicates that investors and creditors are equally sharing assets. In the view of creditors, they see a high ratio as a risk factor because it can indicate that investors are not investing due to the company’s overall performance. The totals of these three ratios demonstrate that the company’s financial state is not as healthy as it should be.
The liquidity ratios of the firm are slightly below the industry averages. This is due to inventory and accounts receivable making up a significantly larger portion of the current assets than cash and marketable securities.

This is the reason that company’s interest income has decreased despite the increase in loans made in 2008. Efficiency ratio is basically an operating expense margin measure, the lower the better. The above 60 percent efficiency ratio, 50 percent generally regarded as optimal, is an indicator of company's deteriorating performance.
Taking a look at liquidity ratios, Gemini Electronics is in a fairly good position. Gemini has improved the company’s current ratio. The idea behind the current ratio is to get an idea of whether Gemini has enough short-term assets to use to pay off short-term liabilities. Therefore, a higher current ratio is better. With regards to quick ratio, higher is better. However, in 2009 Gemini’s quick ratio has decreased very slightly. This could be due to the fact that quick ratio is more conservative, excluding inventory and other assets that can be more difficult to turn into cash quickly. This slight decrease would not be considered something to be overly concerned about at this point in time.

Our choices led to a constant increase in net income over the three years. Short term debt increase by approximately 100% percent but steadily reduced over the next three years. We were happy with the positive growth of the company and the fact that we were able to pay off most of the initial short term funding required by the increase in working capital requirement. Overall the current situation of the company in 2018 is good, although the total value created is less than 20% of that created in phase 1. From this we learned that the value of the firm can be significantly increased more through a reduction in working capital requirement than through increasing the firm’s sales and net income.
