CERES Project

The document discusses the cash flows and financial performance of a company that implemented the "Get Ceres" retail program. Key points: - Operating cash flow is decreasing over time while investing cash flow contributes the most. Financing cash flow adds cash from increasing debt levels. - The company's assets are not self-financed as operating cash flow is not enough to support investments. Cash position became negative in 2006. - Working capital needs are increasing as days sales outstanding increase while days payable outstanding remain the same, requiring more working capital to support the business model. - Returns on equity and capital employed are decreasing from 2002-2006 as equity and capital increase faster than net income.

Question 1

1534/- will be the profits translating into cash from operations,investing cash flow has
contributed the most

Operating cash flow- the trend here is decreasing as we can see through the data over
the period of time. The cash generation from operating activities is decreasing year by
year. Increase in net income isn’t the best but there is a constant increase in the
depreciation and holding up more inventory is also a reason

Investing cash flow- it has always generated a negative figure in the cash flow statement
but in the initial 2 years it was because of the purchase of land, later it decreased with
the years as we see, overall it’s an improving trend

Financing cash flow- in the first three years they have incurred a lot of debt therefore
there Is a positive slope but in the fourth year the figure has decreased because of with a
little of a downfall can be noticed but over the 4 years it has always added cash in the
cash flow statement

“self financing of investments”- there assets are not all self financed as there operating
cash flow isnt enough to support there investments and they are incurring a lot of debt
every year, so clearly they are investing out of the debt money they receive

‘cash position of the company”- as I anaylise the cash position of the company I see that
its not the best, by the yeaar 2006 they went negative in cash flow which can hinder there
module of the get ceres program, so they really need to keep it in the positive for the
betterment of the company
‘free cash flow”- they clearly don’t have free cash flow in 2006, because they are
negative with there cash flow, but they had a good free cash flow in 2005, I think its
because of the get ceres program they shrinked there cash flows because it increased
there accounts receiveables and they need a lot of capital to maintain the cash flow with
that model

THE R.O.E IS DECREASING FROM. 2002 TO 2006E AS THE EQUITY IS


INCREASING IN EVERY YEAR BUT THE OPERATING INCOME DERIEVED IS NOT
SUFFICIENT, WHICH IS RESULTING IN A DECREASING TREND OF THE R.O.E

THE R.O.A.C.E IS ALSO DECREASING FROM 2002 TO 2006E AND THIS IS ALSO
BECAUSE THE CAPITAL EMPLOYED IS INCREASING BUT E.A.T.B.E ISNT
INCREASING MUCH, WHICH IS WHY ITS RESULTING IN A DECLINE TREND

Question 5

TWO PROS OF THE GET CERES PROGRAM

1.THEY MANANGED TO GET THE MARKET SHARE WITH THERE ORGANIC


PRODUCTS EVEN WITH A MORE EXPENSIVE PRODUCT, NOW THERE 80% SALES
ARE FROM THERE RETAIL COUNTERS SO THIS HAS GIVEN THERE BUSINESS A
BIG BOOST

2.DUE TO WORD OF MOUTH AND A GOOD PRODUCT THEY’LL RECEIVE


REGULAR AND REPEATED CUSTOMER AND THIS RETAIL MARKET MOVE WILL
HELP THEM SCALE EVEN MORE AND THEY’LL BE ABLE TO BECOME A BIG
COMPANY AS THEY VISIONED IT

THE TWO CONS ARE-

1.THIS INCREASES THERE WORKING CAPITAL BY HUGE PERCENTAGE AS


THERE ACCOUNT RECIEVEABLE INCREASES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW GIVING
120 DAYS OF CREDIT, IT INCREASES FINANCIAL LOAD AS THEY ARE USING
LINE OF CREDIT FROM THE BANK FROM WHICH THEY ARE CHARGED
INTERESTS PLUS THERE R.O.E AND R.O.A.C.E IS DECREASING BECAUSE OF IT

2.IF ANY OF THE AMOUNTS RECIEVABLE TURNS TO A BAD DEBT, THEN ITS
GONNA BE A BIG ISSUE FOR THE COMPANY AS THEY ARE TRUSTING THE
DEALERS A LOT. SO THIS RISK FACTOR IS ALWAYS THERE WITH THEM
