Limitation of Study
Shortage of time period:
Time constraint would be the major factor for the study. We have completed this report writing
within a shorter period of time. So the time constraint of the study hindering the course of vast
area and time for preparing a report within the mentioned period is really difficult.
Lack of sufficient well informed websites:
There are some lacks of information in financial statement (balance sheet and income statement).
So, we have faced many difficulties to collect information.
Organization do not want to provide all information needed to conduct study.
Small knowledge.
In many cases, updated information is not available.
In some cases, respondents do not provide the required information.

Comments
SCLs Current Liabilities are growing
and Current Assets are declining. It
means the firms capability to pay
their current liabilities are not so well
in terms of their current assets. We
should be more focus on proper
current assets and current liabilities
management.
Firms liquidity situation of assets is
very poor gradually to cover its
current liabilities, which is a bad sign
for future growth.
Though the firms inventory turnover
ratio looks good on 2014, but overall
condition is not so well. As a
manager, we should focus more to
utilize inventory in a proper way.
SCLs average collection period of
credit sales amount is too good on
2014. Though it seems very slow in
2012 and 2013.
SCL cannot cover the value of its fixed
assets by its sales with an efficient
way. As a manager, we should be
more concern to generate more
revenue and reduce the costs.
SCL is not well-managed to cover the
value of its total assets by its sales
with an efficient way. As a manager,
we should be more concern to
generate more revenue and reduce
the costs.
The firms liabilities are not well paid
by the total assets. It refers the
amount of total assets should be
increased in terms of total liabilities
to safeguard from any bad financial
situation.
SCLs payment of interests is not very
well managed by EBIT. It should be
more efficient to pay interest to avoid
bankruptcy.
The margin is showing more volatile.

Comments
It reflects the RAKs strength of
liquidity of current assets is almost
double than its liability. So the firm
can handle the debt with a wellmanaged way.
As we know the inventory is less
liquid. So, after deduction of
inventory from the current assets we
can find the RAKs actual liquidity of
current assets is strong and increasing
as a good manner.
Though the inventory turnover shows
an unexpected growth in 2014, but
the actual scenario seems like volatile.
It means the inventory has been
utilized in a maximum way on 2014 to
meet the cost of its production.
Here, we can see the RAK usually
draw its receivable from the market
within 50-60 days. Though it is
consistent, but as a manager we
should try to minimize the period.
To generate sales, RAK is utilizing the
plants and equipments in an efficient
way. Its performance is increasing

Though RAK is utilizing the fixed

assets in sales related activities in a
very efficient way, but the efficiency
of using total assets are not very
satisfactory.
The total assets of RAK is not
sufficient to cover-up the total
liabilities. It is not a good sign and the
situation is growing gradually.
RAK is paying the interest of debt in a
consistent way. Besides, it has
sufficient fund to pay interests.
Though the margin was little upward
moving on 2013, but it fell
tremendously on 2014. It may be
occurred cause of proper cost
management, managerial issues or,
any other factors.
The liquidity position is declining
gradually. It creates impact on the
ROE. It may cause others uninterested
to invest.
RAKs ROA is rapidly moving
downward. That is not a good sign. It
shows the negative capability of firm
to utilize their assets for sales.

Comments: RAK has more efficiency to utilize the assets than Shinepukur to maximize net
income. That is reflected on the ROA. though the condition of ROA is declining gradually year
after year. So both the companies need to focus on that.

Overall Comparison
Shinepukur and RAK, both are the renowned name for the Bangladeshi market. The scenario of
financial background looks totally different from each other. Where RAKs strength is showing,
on other side Shinepukurs weakness is representing also in statements. RAK is strong for its
cost, assets, inventory, debt, and equity management. But, Shinepukur should work hard for
achieving the strength of the mentioned elements. This can be achieved by the efficient action of
the management.

From the above forecasted income statement and balance sheet of Shinepukur and RAK
Ceramics Limited, it is estimated that we need additional fund BDT 494.957 and BDT 493.431
additional fund to increase the additional 10% of sales. If we want to meet the additional sales
target to generate revenue on 2015, we need that fund. And the fund may be managed from
external or internal or both sources.
19 | P a g e

3. Raising the AFN and Financing Feedbacks (Shinepukur & RAK Ceramics)
As a manager we can raise the additional fund from different internal and external sources. We
can issue new shares/ use retained earnings/ borrow from financial institutions/ issue notes or
bonds to arrange the additional fund to achieve the forecasted revenue generating target. Besides,
we can also create a mixed source to collect the additional fund. As a manager it is a key concern
to find suitable sources to create fund. Cause too much borrowing or issuing new shares will
never make a firms efficiency. It creates problem of debt management. However, the
borrowings from financial institutions are needed to get rebate from tax. So, having provided a
look on overall sources, we have to find out the way of sourcing our AFN.
Additional Fund Needed
(AFN)

Shinepukur Ceramics Limited

BDT 494.957 millions

RAK Ceramics (Bd) Limited

BDT 493.431 millions

As we know, the used retained earning portion should be covered by the external or internal
financing. As we need to maintain a minimum retained earnings portion for the organization.
Though we use the retained earnings in terms of financing as required additional funds, but we
need to cover the amount through other sources of borrowings.
We can segment the total amount of additional required fund for Shinepukur and RAK on the
basis of collections sources in following ways.

The funding is segmented by the mentioned way, as it is better to play risk-free. Though interests
are related with borrowings, so it is create cost for long time borrowings. But, it can be paid

20 | P a g e

earlier to reduce that cost. On other side, long time borrowings are well to reduce risk and
additional pressure to pay the debt.
Shinepukurs debt management and financial condition is severe bad. As a manager it is tough to
arrange funding from internal source. So, it is better to collect maximum amount from long term
borrowings, and the rest amount can be collected with issuing new stocks and short term debts.
On other side, RAK is well managed on debt and business. Though it is easy to provide their
debt with the internal source, but it is needed to play safe. Long term debt can reduce their risk
and it can be paid at any time. Time duration can provide them a relaxing environment over here.
Besides, as a manger we can mix-up the funding with some short term borrowings and issuing
common stocks. It can also be helpful for the firm.

The balance sheet of RAK is showing the scenario of debt and equity, which are adjusted cause
of loans and new share issues. What can be the impact of the borrowings; we can see the things
on ratio analysis portion.

24 | P a g e

Financial Statement Analysis: (Adjusted Data)

SHINEPIKUR's RATIO ANALYSIS: (Adjusted Data)
Current Ratio (Times)
0.57
The current ratio shows that the current liability is more than the current assets. So, we need to focus to
increase the amount of current assets to become free of risk from short-term liabilities.
Inventory Turnover (Times)
1.87
The inventories are not well-managed to minimize the cost of sales. So, it should be managed with an
efficient way.
DSO (Days)
33.88
As it shows the similarity as present year DSO, so we do not have to be worried for that. We just need to
focus on minimize the time period.
TAT (Times)
0.26
It means the assets are not being well managed. So, we have to take action to reduce the cost and
managed the assets efficiently to maximize profit.
Debt Ratio (%)
38.61
The debt ratio has indicated the portions of assets are not sufficient to pay liabilities. So we should be
focus to increase assets to liquidate whenever is needed to pay liabilities.
TIE (Times)
6.63
It is showing the strength to pay interest with net operating expenses. On 2015, the performance may
be good enough.
Profit Margin (%)
1.46
It is showing the profit will be 1.46% higher than the per dollar sales. It is definitely better than previous
years.
