Case Analysis: Silver River Manufacturing Company
1. General Background
Silver River manufacturing organization is a large regional product if a farm and it is an
agribusiness supplier who relies on upon agriculturists for 45-50 percent of its aggregate
deals. In the decade before 2003, SRM had encountered high and moderately enduring
development in deals, resources and benefits. Greg White the president of SRM was very
little worry about the budgetary position of the association yet after the end of 2003, the
interest for new field trailers in the citrus and vegetable commercial ventures began to tumble
off and Marion Nation National Bank likewise attempted to survey his credit installment
framework. The retreat that had been tormenting the country's ranch economy and appalling
stops for two straight winters brought about high abbreviation of interest for woods retailer
and citrus transport bearers; SRM was not insusceptible to this. In spite of the fact that SRM
had demonstrated high and relentless development in deals, resources and benefits preceding
2003, on the other hand, towards the end of 2003 the interest for new field trailers in citrus
and vegetable commercial ventures began for tumble off. SRM was likewise influenced by
the retreat and on the highest point of this the business went down steadily. Then again, his
agrarian items were likewise influenced by the terrible atmosphere.
SRM in outlining trailers for their new offerings, and these river trailer packages are sold
through across the country merchant systems of the support organizations. With couple of
special cases, the products produced by SRM are not subject to innovative obsolescence or
to decline, and in those occasions where innovation is an element to be viewed as, SRM
holds a few licenses with which it can mostly balance a portion of the dangers. Marion Area
National Bank (MCNB) is the official investor of SRM that has authorized short and long
haul credit offices. MCNB considered SRM to be a monetarily stable and effectively
overseen firm until the manifestations of sickness of SRM surfaced. Being a nearby
companion and a well-wisher, Miss Lesa Nix, VP of MCNB, advises Mr. White that the
money related wellbeing of SRM intensified from 2004 through 2005 such that MCNB
should seriously mull over getting back to back the credit offices while SRM has made a
promise to extend its office obliging an extra reserve of $7,012,500 . Mr. White Had wanted
to get this extra cash by a transient credit from MCNB.

Organization (SRM) is an expansive territorial result of homestead and utility trailers

particular lives stock bearers and invented house suspension possessed by Greg White. They
import more than 85% of SRM'S deals originate from the south eastern piece of the United
States. A few notable support organizations in Florida work nearly with SRM in outlining
trailers for their new offerings. SRM is a notable customer of Marion Nation National Bank
(MCNB). Because of the subsidence that had been disturbing the country's homestead
economy since 2000s brought on issue for agribusiness for the SRM who relies on upon
agriculturists for approximately 45 to 50 percent of aggregate deals. SRM whose items are
completely in view of most recent innovation and SRM hold a few licenses with which it can
somewhat balances a portion of the danger.
In spite of such unfriendly conditions Nix considered the organization to have great long run
prospects, expecting, obviously that administration responded promptly and properly to the
present circumstance. Thus, Nix had looked upon the danger of quickening the advance
reimbursement essentially as it intends to stand out enough to be noticed and too to constrain
him to consider uplifting moves that must be made to moderate SRM's transient issues. With
a specific end goal to alleviate the issue white forcefully diminish the further deals as he
trusted it would permit him to acknowledge more notable economies of scale underway and
to ride the experience bend to a lower expense position. Hence, generation proceeded with
unrestricted and inventories begin to increment.
To keep up the already high development of offers and to diminish the regularly growing
stock SRM decrease cost as well as a piece of a "coordinated business entrance arrangement"
offered more good credit terms and loose credit guidelines. Despite the fact that she wanted
to abstain from calling the credits if at all conceivable in light of the fact that that activity
would back SRM into a tough situation from which it may not have the capacity to rise in
place, Nix understood that the bank's analysts, because of the late spate of bank
disappointments, were exceptionally touchy to the issue of issue advances. SRM's Altman Z
calculates (2.88) for 2005 was underneath 2.99, which showed that SRM was liable to get
bankrupt in two years. On account of this lack, MCNB was under expanded weight from the
controllers to rename SRM's advance as 'issue classification' and make whatever strides
Group 2
Page 3
expected to gather the cash due and decrease the bank's presentation as fast as practicable. So
as to keep away from renaming, SRM obliged solid and persuading proof to demonstrate that
its issues was interim in nature and it had great shot of turning around the pattern.
Consequently, to back these increments in resources, SRM changed to Marion Nation
National Bank, (MCNB) for long pull advance in 2004 and increment in its transient credit
advance in both 2004 and 2005.MCNB had been a noteworthy financier of SRM for quite a
while. In the beginning, Lesa Nix, the VP of MCNB, had taken care of the instance of SRM.
Later, she got advanced and was no more in charge of taking care of SRM's record. On the
other hand, as Mr. White was a nearby companion, despite everything she took unmistakable
fascination on SRM. Indeed, even this was inadequate to cover the forceful extension on the
benefit side. Thusly, Greg White who constantly made brief installments began to defer
installments. This came about significant increment in records payable and other transient
credits.
The current financial related issues were not by any means the only issue Mr. White
confronted. He had as of late marked an agreement for a plant extension that would require
another $7012500 of the capital amid the first quarter of 2006. He had wanted to get this cash
by a fleeting advance from MCNB to be reimbursed from the benefit created in the first a
large portion of 2006. He accepted that new offices would improve the generation capacities
in an extremely profitable territory of custom steed van.
As per Mr. White's investigation, the money related position of the organization could
enhance fundamentally throughout the following two years if the bank kept up or even
expand the credit lines. Once the new office is goes on the web, the organization would have
the capacity to build yield in quickly growing(and especially beneficial) horse van and home
body section of the business furthermore lessen the reliance on ranch and light utility trailer
deals to 35% or less. He additionally anticipated that the business development would be 6%
and 9.5% in a normal for 2006 and 2007 individually, expecting there is no huge change in
either national or homestead economy. He likewise expected that SRM would change its
strategy of forceful advertising and deals advancement and come back to full edge costs,
standard industry credit term and more tightly credit benchmarks. These progressions would
decrease expense of products sold to 85% in 2005 and 82.5% in 2006 and 80 % in 2007.
Group 2
Page 4
Correspondingly regulatory and offering costs are liable to diminish from 9% to 8% in 2006
and 7.5% in 2007. Additionally, the various costs would decrease to 1.75% and 1.25% of
offers in 2006 and 2007 individually. Normal gathering period and stock turnover will be
kept up at normal industry level.
With respect to money related information gave for the situation and the anticipated salary
articulation and asset report, we need to break down whether SRM is qualified to get the
bank credit. Presently, the inquiry is whether the bank ought to broaden the current short and
long haul credits or ought to rather request quick reimbursement of both existing advances.
What's more, we need to propose options accessible to SRM if the bank were to choose to
withdraw the whole line of credit and to request quick reimbursement of the two current
advances.
The best way to stop SRM to go in bankruptcy is to persuade the senior credit board of
trustees with solid and persuading proof that Silver River assembling present challenges were
impermanent in nature. That suitable activities intended to beat the issue had been taken, and
that the chance for accomplishment in turning around the pattern was reasonably great.

Funds flow statement, table: 6 shows changes or movement of funds or changes in working
capital of Silver River Manufacturing Company. The net sales have a significant increase of
$12181 during the year (2004-2005). The company also made a profit of $183307 during the
year 2005 which exceed the profit for the year 2004. However, the company has also incurred
Group 2

additional cost in 2005 as compared to the previous year. Even if the company has made a
significant increase in their sales in 2005 as compared to 2004, it fails to improve the net income.
There was a huge gap between the net incomes for the two consecutive years. It can be said that
the high increase in the cost part has made the company lost their net income. Hence, the bottom
line is the uses of the funds exceeded the source of fund.

Altman's Z- Scores
A Z- Scores is a statistical measurement of a scores relationship to the mean in a group of
scores. A Z-score of 0 mean is same as the mean. It can also be positive or negative, indicating
whether it is above or below the mean and by how many standard deviations. It represents the
distance between the raw score and the population mean in units of the standard deviation. Z is
negative when the raw score is below the mean and positive when above the mean.

The Altman Z factor range of 1.81-2.99 represents the so-called zone of ignorance". It means
that the company range lies between 1.81 and 2.99 Z factor than it is very difficult to predict the
company whether it is in bankruptcy or not. If company lies below the 1.81 Z factor than
company is in a bankruptcy stage. If the company Z factor lies above the 3 that represents the
company is in expansion stage non failure stage. In the company at 2003 the Z score is 3.93 that
show the company is in good condition. In 2004 the company has 3.49 Z score that also
represent good condition of the company but it is below than previous. In the 2005 Z score is
2.68 that indicate the company moves slowly to bankruptcy stage. They need certain changes in
the company.

industry average of 2.50.
Quick Ratio
(Cash + Marketable Securities + Trade Accounts Receivable) / Current Liabilities
Quick ratio in 2006 and 2007 revised of 0.68 and 0.84 respectively no different because of higher
volume of inventory. This show both revised years 2006 and 2007 quick ratios is less than
industry average of 1.00 and after paying short term loan no different in quick ratio.
LEVERAGE RATIOS
Debt Ratio
Total Liabilities / Total Assets
Debt ratio is in both years 2006 of 56.60% and 2007 of 53.24% revised slightly lower than
projected. This shows low risk at revised than projected. Comparing this ratio with industry
average of 50.00% SRM shows higher risky in term of debt financing in its investing activities.
Times interest earned ratio
(EBIT/Total Interest)
Times interest earned ratio in both year of revised 11.90 and 21.05 in 2006 and 2007 respectively
show stronger ability of SRM to make interest payment out of its EBIT than that of projected. In
2006 SRM would be paying interest for first half of the year so this ratio seems to be high and
than of industry average of 7.70. Then in 2007 firms ability to meets its current interest
increases to about 3 times of the industry average. This shows SRM strong ability to pay interest
of reaming debt.

average collection period is maintained as per industry average. But we can see difference in

improved management of total assets in revised.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Profit margin: Profit margin significantly increases in both 2006 and 2007 to 3.14 and 5.17

Issue 6: Decision based on Resources

The overall analysis of the financial statements and financial ratio suggest that the bank should
extend the existing short and long-term loans and grant the additional $7012500 loan. The key
financial indicators of the company is such as current ratio, time interest earned, inventory
turnover, profitability ratio, ROA, ROE are being well improved whilst the debt ratio, collection
period are declining as the projections of the SRM were materialized. The SRM has attained a
good reputation from its previous performance and maintained its trustworthiness to the Bank.
This indicates a strong advantage for the company. So, the bank should grant and extend the
loan. We have following reasons to support our recommendation:
a. The reputation in the market along with its past performance.
b. The external environment (Climate and other macro factors) is the one that has
affected the company performance. The operation part of the company has a positive
impact. So. The bank can understand the situation to extend the loan.
c. The analyses made by Mr. White suggest that the financial position of the company
could improve significantly over the next two years. Shifting from policy of
aggressive marketing and sales promotion to full margin prices, standard industry
credit term and tighter credit standards would reduce the cost of goods sold.
Similarly, he is also planning to minimize administrative and selling expense and
miscellaneous expenses in the coming two years.
d. The projected growth rate of 6% and 9.5% in sales on an average for 2006 and 2007
respectively, assuming there is no significant improvement in either national or farm
economy. This condition is also likely to strengthen their chances of making the debt
payments.
e. SRMs projected Altman Z factor is increasing and is above 3 for the years 2006 and
2007 which shows the less chances of company going bankrupt in future.
Group 2
Page 41
Analyzing the projected financial statements, it seems that the company will improve its
financial positions if all the projections are materialized, if all the projections are materialized
company will surely grow its financial position reflected by financial statements. Considering the
above reason, the bank should grant and extend the existing loan. However the bank can use its
safeguarding tools to make its loan safe. Such as
a. Security
A financial instrument that represents: an ownership position in a publicly-traded
corporation (stock), a creditor relationship with governmental body or a corporation
(bond), or rights to ownership as represented by an option.
b. Mortgage
A debt instrument, secured by the collateral of specified real estate property, that the
borrower is obliged to pay back with a predetermined set of payments.
c. Guarantee
In general, a financial guarantee is a promise to take responsibility for another
company's financial obligation if that company cannot meet its obligation. The entity
assuming this responsibility is called the guarantor. It is non-cancellable indemnity bond
that is backed by an insurer in order to guarantee investors that principal and interest
payments will be made.
d. Insurance
A commercial contract agreeing to compensate one for loss in the event of specifically na
med or described risks.

Issue 7: Alternative
It will be intense choice for SRM to make if bank request quick reimbursement of two current
short and long terms loans. Its aggregate advance in 2005 is $27795. It would be smart thought
to offer some of its value as shares are exchanging at $1.02 in business sector. Book estimation
of value in 2005 is 38,636.72 however it has come to just $3570 in business sector along these
lines, it may not be best alternative. The choice left for the SRM Company will be to change over
money equal advantage for money and pay the credit as requested by the MCNB. As it is clear
that silver river manufacturing organization whose stock is exchanged over the counter is a huge
local maker of homestead and utility trailers, particular trained animals transporters and
manufactured home body was financially solid before 2003. Hence, the president of the
organization was ignoring the genuine circumstance of the organization. As indicated by the lack
report, which uncovered various significant issue in the money related status of silver river
manufacturing organization ,especially that of flow proportion, speedy and obligation proportion.
So as to maintain benefits and unrivaled business sector execution Mr. White forcefully
diminished costs to strengthen further deals. This SRM as well as, offered more good credit
terms and loose credit guidelines. Therefore, creation proceeded with unrestricted and
inventories began expanding. This action of Mr. White increased sales through the third quarter
of 2005, but inventories also increased steadily and particularly short-term credits and accounts
receivable grew up dramatically.
Consequently, on the off chance that if the bank withdraws the whole line of credit and requests
prompt reimbursement of the two current advances, SRM can receive taking after activities like:
Sale of assets:
In the event that all of above alternatives neglect to meet the credit reimbursement,
SRM can sell distinctive resources of the organization which can help to pay prompt
reimbursement of the advance .These advantages may incorporate vehicles, land,
ventures, market securities and so forth.
Group 2
Page 43
Minimize stock level:
Minimizing the stock level means the increment of trade stream in for cold hard currency the
organization which offers distinct option for pay the credit. SRM has colossal measure of
stock of $46658.62. Indeed, even just half change of its stock can meet practically parcel of
bank credit.
Make strict gathering approaches:

The normal gathering time of SRM is 57 days in 2005. The organization needs to make
its gathering arrangements stricter so that the borrowers will pay in time. Here, SRM is
receiving liberal accumulation strategies.
Take home loan advance from bank:
