of current final accounts and annual report of the enterprise:

There are several assumptions that were made while generating these condensed final
accounts. All of them are as follows:
 When the annual report of the entity was analysed then no information regarding
preference shares was gathered therefore it has been assumed that during the year 2019
the organisation was not having any preference shares (Pimbley, and Phillips, 2020).
 The second assumption which was made for the organisation was related to non-
controlling interest in equity. Because of no information of it in the annual report, it has
been assumed that the value of it would be zero or nil for 2019.
2. Critical evaluation of the financial performance of company
Ratio analysis:
Traditional ROE decomposition 2019 Actual
2020
Forecasts
Net profit margin (ROS) 1.0% 1.5%
× Asset turnover 1.82 2.10
= Return on assets (ROA) 1.9% 3.2%
Equity Multiplier 2.14 2.40
= Return on equity (ROE) 4.1% 7.6%
Alternative ROE decomposition
Net operating profit margin 49.6% 55.0%
× Net operating asset turnover 5.44 5.70
= Return on Net Operating Assets 269.7% 313.5%
Return on Net Operating Assets 269.7% 313.5%
4

x (Net Operating Assets/Invested Capital) 0.58 0.75
+ Return on Non-Operating Investments 5.7% 5.9%
x (Non-Operating Investments/Invested Capital) 1.16 1.30
= Return on Invested Capital 164.0% 242.8%
Spread 24.0% 32.0%
× Financial leverage 1.14 1.31
= Financial leverage gain 27.3% 41.9%
ROE = Return on Invested Capital + Financial leverage
gain 191.3% 284.7%
Traditional approach: While using this approach to analyse performance of the
company return from operating activities and financial activities are analysed. From the results
that are generated above it has been analysed that return on equity according for this method for
2019 will be around 4.1% and the forecasted one for 2020 will be around 7.6%. From the
calculations it has been analysed that in 2020 the performance will be improved (Silver-Myer,
2019) (Suraj, and Patel, 2018).
Alternative approach: From the results that are generated from the alternative approach
of decomposition it has been analysed that ROE for 2019 is around 191.3% and it will be
increased up to 248.7% in 2020. It shows that performance of the company will be improved in
upcoming year.
3. Forecasts for the components of ROE to arrive at an estimation of ROE for 2020
There are various forecasts are used for the calculation of decomposition of ROE for
2020. It has been estimated that net profit margin will be increased up to 1.5% and asset turnover
will be increased up to 2.10. These forecasts were made by analysing past year’s data which
showed that in 2019 these were increased as compare to 2018. Several forecasts related to
spread, financial leverage, net operating profit margin etc. are also made. All of them were made
5

to estimate performance of 2020. The basis which was focused to make these assumptions was
difference of 2018 and 2019.
4. What additional information would be interested in as an analyst in evaluating the company’s
performance for 2020
In order to analyse the financial performance of 2020 several other elements could be
focused (Annual report of Myer, 2019). These are expenses of 2019, total incomes for the year,
auditor’s declaration about the company to analyse material misstatement. The other ratios that
can also be focused to analyse the performance are debtor and creditor turnover ratio, solvency
ratio etc.
CONCLUSION
From the above project report, it has been concluded that for all the business entities it is
very important to make sure that they are able to formulate final accounts properly. It can help to
estimate performance of upcoming year. In order to perform the analysis of performance
financial statements are required to be analysed properly.
