BONIA CORPORATION BERHAD

The components of the operating liabilities of the company are as follows:

1. Trade payables
2. Amount owing to subsidiaries
3. Other payables
4. Contingent consideration for business combination
5. Deposits
6. Accruals
7. Malaysian income tax
8. Foreign income tax

Trade payables represent the amount which is due in respect of normal trade credits and doesn’t bear any interest element along with it. It can be clearly inferred from the picture that the trade payables of the group has reduced from the year 2015 to 2016. The company had no balance in respect of the trade payable (Mohanram et al., 2017).

The amount owing to the subsidiaries represent the amount which have been paid in advance, behalf and are payable on demand in the form of cash and cash equivalents. It can be seen that in respect of the company the amount has increased substantially.

It is clearly evident that both in case of group and the company the amount corresponding to other payables has increased substantially from the year 2015 to 2016. The contingent consideration for business combination represents the amount that has been paid for the purpose of acquisition of the business of IBB (Grimm & Blazovich, 2016). It can be seen that in respect of the group the amount has substantially increased from the year 2015 to 2016 whereas the company had no balance in this respect.

Description and analysis of financing liabilities of the selected companies

It can be noted that the deposit with the group has increased from the year 2015 to 2016 whereas the accruals with the company has reduced from the year 2015. The accrual in case of the company has also reduced from the year 2015 to 2016.

It can be seen that the group’s income tax liability both in respect of Malaysian Income tax and Foreign Income tax has reduced from the year 2015 and similarly in case of the company the income tax liability of in respect of Malaysian Income tax has reduced from the year 2015 to 2016.

The components of the operating liabilities of the company are as follows:

1. Third parties under the head trade payables.
2. Other payables
3. Accruals
4. Deferred revenue from customer royalty points
5. Malaysian tax expense
6. Foreign tax expense

The ‘third parties’ represent the amount payable as part of normal trade credit and doesn’t bear any interest with it. It generally ranges from 30-90 days. It is clearly evident from the figure that the amount in respect of the group has increased from the year 2015 to 2016. Whereas in case of the company it had no balance as on, that date.

Other payables includes a sum which represents an amount owing to the bank in respect of bank acting as a settlement and paying agent on behalf of the group before the expiry of the period granted by the trade payables under a trade related financial agreement entered between the group and the bank (Grant, 2016). It can be seen that both in the case of the group and the company the amount pertaining to the other payables has increased.

Accruals represent the amount of outstanding expenses of the company. It can be clearly seen that both in case of the group and the company the amount has increased.

Deferred revenue from customer loyalty points represents the amount of unredeemed rebate vouchers by the customer.it can be clearly seen that the corresponding amount has increased in case of the group from the year 2015 to 2016 (Safdar, 2016).

BONIA CORPORATION BERHAD          

As it can be seen from the figure above that, the components of the financial liabilities of the company are as follows:

The financial liabilities of the group and the company can be broadly categorised as secured and unsecured and can be further sub- categorised as conventional sources of finance and Islamic financing liabilities:

The components of secured and conventional sources of financial liabilities are as follows:

Hire purchase and lease creditors

It should be noted that the hire purchase liability of the group has reduced in respect of the previous year 2015. Similarly, the company has also been bled to eradicate the hire purchase liability from its balances outright in the year 2016 (Maheshwari, 2017).

Term loans

Description and analysis of equity financing of the selected companies

The term loans of the group in the year 2016 has increased in respect of the term loans balance in the year 2015 whereas the balances of term loans of the company has decreased in the year 2016 from that of the year 2015 (Gong, 2017).

 The components of the secured Islamic financial liabilities are as follows:

Tier financing

As per the extract of the annual report above the tier, financing balances both in the respect of the group and the company has increased from the year 2015 to the year 2016.

The components of the unsecured conventional sources of finance comprise of only of term loans. It can be observed from the extract that in case of the group the balance of the term loan has reduced and the in case of the company it didn’t have  any balance of term loan in the past and has not taken any term loan this year too (Demmer et al., 2016).    

As it can be observed from the extract of the annual report that the components of the financial liabilities of the company are as follows:

1. Hire purchase
2. Term loans

The detailed description of the liabilities is given here under:

Hire purchase

It can be deciphered from the extract that the hire purchase balance has reduced in case of the entire group from the year 2015 to 2016 whereas the company has not taken any hire purchase in the year 2016 too thus keeping the balance at zero (Drake et al., 2017).

Term loans

The term loans balance in both the cases of the company and of the group has reduced. This suggest that the company and the group are following the same trend and have focussed to reduce the balance of their term loan (Omar et al., 2014).

BONIA CORPORATION BERHAD                                                                               

From the above picture, it is clear that the following are the components of equity:

1. Share capital
2. Share premium
3. Treasury shares
4. Retained earnings

Detailed analysis and description of the components are given hereunder:

Share capital

 This figure reflects the face value of the issued and subscribed equity share capital until date. It can be noted that the company has issued bonus shares to its shareholders in the year 2015 in the ratio 1:1. This has doubled the share capital of the company. Thereafter there has been no transaction of equity share capital by the company (Ball et al., 2015).

Share premium

 It is comprised of the amount of premium charged by the company from its shareholders above the face value of the shares issued to them. It can be sent that the share premium account is reduced by the amount of premium that is given to the shareholders by way of bonus shares (Devi, 2018). It has also increased by an amount of 1006 in respect of the premium charged by the shareholders by resale of the treasury shares.

Treasury shares

Comparison of financing activities of the selected companies

This figure reflects the amount of shares that the company has acquired back from its shareholders and it shows a debit balance in the statement. In the year 2015, the company resold the treasury shares to its shareholders at a premium. Thus, there is no opening balance of treasury shares in the year 2016 (Kim et al., 2016).

Retained earnings

It is the amount, which reflects the profit accumulated by the company over the years. It increases by the amount of profit earned by a company in the respective financial year and reduces by the amount of losses incurred by it. It can be seen that the company had issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1 in the year 2015 and thus the balance of the retained earnings has reduced drastically (Petersen et al., 2017). The balance in the retained earnings had further reduced by the amount of dividend paid in the year 2015.   

It can be seen from the above figure that the components of equity of the company are as follows:

1. Share capital
2. Share premium
3. Retained earnings

The detailed description and analysis of the components are listed below:

The share capital

Capital of the company reflects the face value of the equity shares issued and subscribed by the shareholders. The company has not issued any shares in the last two financial years thereby keeping the balance constant.

 
Share premium

It is the amount charged by the company from the shareholders in excess of the face value of the equity shares.  As the company has issued no shares in the last two years, hence the balance of the premium account has remained constant (Malik, 2017).

Retained earnings

It is the amount of profit that is accumulated by the company over the years from the profit earned by it through its operations.  It can be seen that the retained earning so of the company has been reduced by the amount of dividend given out by the company to the shareholders. It increases with the amount of profit earned by the company in the financial year (Hasan, 2015).

• The first difference between the two companies is that the BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD is using two sources of finance that is it uses finances from both the conventional sources of finance and the Islamic finance liabilities. Whereas PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD is using only the conventional sources of finance. This implies that the portfolio of BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD is far more than that of the PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD. It also gives indications that BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD has been able to satisfy all the conditions of the Islamic fiancé bodies, which provides such kind of loans, as without fulfilment of those it would not have been possible for the company to raise the same (Weygandt et al., 2015).
• The second difference between the financial liabilities of the two companies is that BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD is using both secured as well as unsecured sources of finance whereas the PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD is using only secured sources of finance (Warren & Jones, 2018). This suggests that the lenders are relying heavily on the repayment capability of the BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD. Whereas in the case of PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD the lenders are not able to trust the loan repayment capacity of the company. That is why the company has access to only secured sources of finance.
• The third difference that exists between the financial liabilities of the companies is that in case of BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD the balance of the term loan of the group has increased while the balance of the term loan of the company has decreased from the year 2015 to year 2016. Whereas in the case of PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD the terms loan’s balances both in the case of the company and the group has reduced from the year 2015 to 2016. This shows that one entity ahs similar trend of term loans for the company and the group whereas the other entity has different trend of term loan for the company and the group (Bahri et al., 2017).
• The fourth difference between the financing liabilities of the two companies is that in case of the BONIA CORPORATION BERHAD the total balances of the financial liabilities of the company has increased from the year 2015 to 2016 whereas the total balance of the PAIDINI HOLDINGS BERHAD has reduced from the year 2015 to 2016 (Lisowsky et al., 2017). This shows that the former is in more needs of the funds whereas the latter is in excess of funds and thus is repaying back its financial liabilities.

The entire analysis can be summarised as follows:

• The BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD is increasing the participation of the shareholders in its capital structure. The phenomenon is reflected by the fact that the share capital of the company increased because of the bonus issued by the company. Whereas there has been no such effort made by the PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD which has not changed the balance o fits share capital neither by way of fresh issue nor by issuing any kind of bonus share.
• The BONIA CORPORATION BERHAD is most likely expanding its business because it is using more financial liabilities in order to increase its cash availability. Whereas the PADINI HOLDINS BERHAD is in excess of funds, which is reflected by the fact, that it has been paying of its term loans.
• It is observed that there is more synergy in the operations of the group and the company in case of PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD whereas there is a difference in the trends followed by the company and the group in case of BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD. This is reflected by the trend in the terms loans of of the two companies.
• If the operations of the two companies are compared the BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD has more wide range of operations as compared to the PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD. This is because PADINI HOLDINGS BERHAD is involved in only the retailing of the products whereas the BONIA CORPORATIONS BERHAD is engaged in multitude of operations like manufacturing, wholesale, retail and marketing under its own brand and other multitude of international recognised brands. Hence, it requires and utilises more funds than that of PADINI HLDING BERHAD.
