financial case report

1000 words

Guideline:
Based on your reading of the case and your ratio calculations, please think about the following questions:
1. What is your assessment of the performance of SciTronics in 2008 versus 2005?
2. Has SciTronics’ financial strength and access to finance improved or weakened?
3. What are the 2-3 most important questions that you would ask management as a result of your analysis? What additional (and reasonably available) information would be important if a second analysis of SciTronics’ performance is to be done?
4. Try to match the five types of companies listed at the end of the case with their corresponding balance sheet and financial ratios as shown in Exhibit 3 of the case.

Remember that you are supposed to write the report from apposition of a professional consultant. I do not recommend writing your report like questions and answers, unless you have seen business reports like this. However, within your report, you can imply questions to your audience and then try to come up with some solutions, or ask for more related information required to tackle them. Asking good questions is an important part of finding solutions and offering consultation. “A problem well put is half solved.” Then, you can begin to answer some of the questions or ask for more information with clear details to make you able to resolve the issue you raised.
