Executive Summary

3
We have completed the Business analysis of Singer Bangladesh Ltd. Our primary task was to
read the annual reports of last four years and understand the detail statements provided at the
reports and then do the financial analysis ie. Cash Flow Analysis, Ratio Analysis, Operating Cycle,
Sustainable growth, estimating Z Score etc. We analyzed the financial statements of this company
by using their annual report, stock exchanges and the financial statements. In our study we try to
study their financial performance from 2014 to 2017.

Financial statements analysis provides owners and stakeholders with the basic tools for
determining how well their operations perform at all times.

These statements are concise reports designed to summarize financial activities for specific
periods. Owners and managers can use financial statement analysis to evaluate the past and
current financial condition of their , diagnose any existing financial problems, and forecast future
trends in the firm’s financial position. Evaluation pinpoints, in financial terms, where the firm has
been and where it is today. Diagnosis determines the causes of the financial problems that
statement analysis uncovers and suggests solutions for them.

The two key reports for all sizes and categories are the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement.
The Balance Sheet is an itemized statement that lists the total assets and the total liabilities of a ,
and gives its net worth on a certain date (such as the end of a month, quarter, or year). The
Income Statement records revenue versus expenses for a given period of time.

Regular preparation and analysis of financial statement information helps managers and owners
detect the problems that experts continue to see as the chief causes of small failure -- such as
high, operating expenses, sluggish sales, poor cash management, excessive fixed assets, and
inventory mismanagement. By comparing statements from different periods, you can more easily
spot trends and make necessary management decisions and budget revisions before small
problems become large ones.

This exercise has provided us with understanding of the components and purposes of financial
statements and related analysis and interpretations.

SINGER HISTORY

4
The SINGER saga began in 1851, when Sir Isaac Merritt Singer with US$ 40 in the borrowed
capital began to manufacture and sell a machine to automate and assist in the making of clothing.
This revolutionary product was the first offering from the newly formed I.M. Singer & Company,
which has now evolved into the world leader in the manufacturing and distribution of sewing
related products. The SINGER brand name is now famous around the globe.

In 1876, SINGER became the first multinational industrial company as it began manufacturing
sewing machines in Glasgow, Scotland. By 1880, world sales had reached 250,000 units. Additional
factories were established in New Jersey, and one of the best-known emblems- the RED S Girl
Trademark-was developed.

The first electric machine was introduced in 1889 and by the turn of the century, annual sales had
reached US$1.35 million. A separate subsidiary, the Singer Sewing Machine Company, was
established to handle sales and distribution in the western hemisphere. In 1908, The singer
Building at 149 Broadway in New York was opened and became the headquarter of Singer for the
next 54 years. It was the tallest building and the first skyscraper in the world at that time.

Capitalizing on its famous brand name, its hire-purchase plan and its vast network of retail outlets
and other distribution points around the world, Singer introduced electronics, home appliances,
and other consumer durables especially in the Asia Pacific Rim, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Today Singer is a household name throughout the world for a wide range of products for the
home.

SINGER BANGLADESH HISTORY

The presence of SINGER in Bangladesh dates back to the British colonial era when the country was
a part of the Indian subcontinent. The first operation of Singer began in 1905. Later, in 1920, two
shops were set up in Dhaka and Chittagong.

After the partition of the sub-continent in 1947, two separate states emerged. Bangladesh became
a part of Pakistan and formed its eastern wing. SINGER in East Pakistan operated as a branch of
SINGER Pakistan and the products used to come from Western Pakistan. At the initial stage,
marketing operation was carried out through only 10 shops, which increased to 43 by the late
1960s. After the emergence of Bangladesh on December 16, 1971, the East Pakistan Branch Office
was elevated to a country Office and the Sewing Machines were made available from different
Singer overseas sources. The number of shops was squeezed to only 23 because of low volume of
a change in the investment policy in 1979 created new opportunities and SINGER registered as an
operating company, with 80% of the share held by Singer Sewing Machine Company (SSMC), USA,
and 20% by local shareholders. In 1983 the company was listed with Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE)
and offered 20% of its total capitalization- 2,565 ordinary shares of Taka 100 each. In 2001, it was
also listed with the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE).

PRODUCT DIVERSIFICATION

5
Since its inception in Bangladesh, the name SINGER has been synonymous with the sewing
machine. Although sewing machines are SINGER’S core but the Management realized that this
product alone could not substantiate growth for longer periods. This realization led to
diversification into numerous product ranges. Thus, the transformation of SINGER from a single
product sewing machine company into a multi-product consumer durable company began in 1985
for further growth and expansion.

This diversification into consumer durables has continued unabated. At different times SINGER has
introduced Refrigerators, LCD/LED TV, Color Televisions, Furniture, Air Conditioners, Fans,
Washing Machines, Irons, Microwave Ovens, Rice Cookers, Motorcycles, Instant Power supply,
DVD Players, Room Heaters, Air Coolers, Kitchen Appliances, Netbook, Laptop, Desktop
Computers, Generators, Blue Ray DVD Players. SINGER, as part of its diversification program,
ventured into the manufacturing and marketing of Furniture in 2013.

NEW ROLE OF SINGER BANGLADESH

RETAILER

The gradual transformation of SINGER Shops into 'Singer Mega' and 'Singer Plus' started back in
2006 as part of its multi-branding strategy. The main focus of this strategy is to make available
varied world famous brands under the same product category for providing customers a variety of
choice under the same roof. As such SINGER Mega and SINGER Plus Shops now offer world
famous brands like BEKO, Grundig, Apple, Samsung, Siemens, Skyworth, Videocon, Preethi,
Singtech, Dell, Toshiba, Prestige, Lifestraw and many more alongside with SINGER.

DEALER

Despite offering the largest retail chain for Consumer Electronics and Home Appliance industry in
the country, around 300 dealers are located across the country to make Consumer Electronics &
Home Appliances of SINGER and other brands, SINGER Cables and Sewing Machines available to
more consumers.

4. On the basis of Z-score:

Z-score model for prediction distress


Several models to predict distress have been developed over the years. One of the more popular
and robust models is the Altman’s Z-score model.

The Altman Z-score is the output of a credit-strength test that gauges a publicly traded
manufacturing company's likelihood of bankruptcy. The Altman Z-score is based on five financial
ratios that can calculate from data found on a company's annual 10-K report. It uses profitability,
leverage, liquidity, solvency and activity to predict whether a company has high probability of
being insolvent.

Z-score of Singer Bangladesh Limited for 2017, 2016 & 2015

Particulars 2017 2016 2015


(Net working Capital/Total Asset)*1.2 0.32 0.36 0.52
(Cumulative Retained Earnings/Total Asset)*1.4 0.17 0.14 0.08
(EBIT/Total Asset)*3.3 0.56 0.53 0.53
(Market Value of equity/Total Liabilities)*0.6 2.03 2.24 3.44
(Sales/Total Asset)*1.0 1.55 1.55 1.85

20
 Bankruptcy prediction when Z is less than 1.2,
 Z within the range between 1.2 and 2.9 is gray area.
 Z above 3 is safe.

Comment on the basis of Z-score

The firm is much safer according to Z score because the firm’s score above hurdle of 3. The score
is slightly decreasing then the previous year but investor had taken that under consideration as the
scores are above the hurdle more than 3 and stock price has rather gone up in future.

BETA COEFFICIENT OF SINGER BANGLADESH LIMITED:

Beta risk measures the volatility of security return in response to the volatility of the market return.

2
β = COV(R ,R )/ σ R
j j m m
Researchers have shown that the best measure of the risk of a security in a large portfolio is the
beta (b) of the security.

Beta measures the responsiveness of a security to movements in the market portfolio (i.e.,
systematic risk).
A beta that is greater than 1.00 indicates that the security's price is theoretically more volatile than
the market. For example, if a stock's beta is 1.20, it is assumed to be 20% more volatile than the
market.
A company with a higher beta has greater risk and also greater expected returns.

The beta coefficient can be interpreted as follows:


β =1 exactly as volatile as the market
β >1 more volatile than the market
β <1>0 less volatile than the market
β =0 uncorrelated to the market
β <0 negatively correlated to the market

22
High β – A company with a β that’s greater than 1 is more volatile than the market. For example,
a high-risk technology company with a β of 1.75 would have returned 175% of what the market
return in a given period (typically measured weekly).

Low β – A company with a β that’s lower than 1 is less volatile than the whole market. As an
example, consider an electric utility company with a β of 0.29, which would have returned only
29% of what the market returned in a given period.

Negative β – A company with a negative β is negatively correlated to the returns of the market.
For an example, a gold company with a β of -0.2, which would have returned -2% when the
market was up 10%.
