Financial statement analysis

 

The financial statement analysis is based on the financial statement data of Labmaster Oy in the accounting period as at 31.12.2005. The analysis also utilizes the data of the accounting periods 2001-2004.

 

Industry comparison                                                                                                                              

The comparison includes 70 companies in the industry class 73101 Research and development on medical sciences. The risk of bankruptcy in the line is 0.4 %, and the risk of payment defaults 0.8 %. The risk of payment defaults is clearly lower than average.

 

Volume            

The turnover of Labmaster Oy is very small (117 tEUR) in relation to all active companies. This may cause uncertainties in the interpretation of ratios. Proportioned to the line of business, the turnover is close to the average in the line (143 tEUR). The change in turnover from the previous period is 7.3 %. In the latest accounting period, the company employed 8 persons on average. The turnover per person is 15 tEUR, which is poor compared with the line (median 55 tEUR). Thus, the productivity of labour is lower than the average in the line.

 

Profitability     

The operating margin of the company (-168.6 %) is poor, proportioned to the line (median 18.2 %). This indicates very poor internal financing. Also the operating income in % (-173.8 %) is poor, compared with the line (11.9 %), referring to a dangerously low contribution margin. The central ratio for profitability, return on investment, is poor (-110.1 %). This is clearly lower than the average in the line (median 17.9 %). In the long term, the development of profitability has been dangerously poor.

If, instead of the return on investment, the return on assets is calculated, taking also into account interest-free loans, the return ratio is -89.5 %. The return on assets is poor, in relation to the line of business (13.8%).

 

Liquidity          

The liquidity is very good, measured by quick ratio (2.5), which is about equal to the average in the line (median 2.4). In the last year, the financial buffer has improved steeply. The sales receivable turnover of the company is relatively short (25 days) compared with the line (42 days).

 

Solvency         

The solvency of Labmaster Oy is poor, measured by equity ratio (-399.5 %). Median in the line is 58.0 %, so the company´s solvency is clearly poorer than that of the line. The solvency has improved considerably from the previous period. The own capital is still negative. In the long term, the development of solvency has been dangerously weak. The company has subordinated loans. When including the subordinated loans into equity, the company´s solvency ratio is 28.6. The relative indebtedness is 265.8%, which is poor compared with the median in the line (23.5%). In the light of the capital structure indicators, the company´s debt burden is considerably high.

 

Summary and remarks           

Because the company is very small, in high debt and poorly profitable, it is a risk company.

The verbal interpretation of the financial statements analysis has been produced programmatically from unadjusted financial statements.
