The following information has been obtained from the Chairman’s Statement and the notes to the financial statements:

‘Market conditions during the year ended 30 September 2021 proved very challenging due largely to difficulties in the global economy as a result of global pandemic which has led to steep falls in share prices and property values. Letsatsi has not been immune from these effects and our properties have suffered impairment losses of P6 million in the year.’

The excess of these losses over previous surpluses has led to a charge to cost of sales of P1.5 million in addition to the normal depreciation charge.

‘Our portfolio of investments at fair value through profit or loss has been ‘marked to market’ (fair valued) resulting in a loss of P1.6 million (included in administrative expenses).’

There were no additions to or disposals of non-current assets during the year.

‘In response to the downturn we have unfortunately had to make a number of employees redundant incurring severance costs of P1.3 million (included in cost of sales) and undertaken cost savings in advertising and other administrative expenses.’

‘The difficulty in the credit markets has meant that the finance cost of our variable rate bank loan has increased from 4.5% to 8%. In order to help cash flows, we made a rights issue during the year and reduced the dividend per share by 50%.’

‘Despite the above events and associated costs, the Board believes our underlying performance has been quite resilient in these difficult times.’

Analyse and discuss the financial performance and position of Letsatsi as portrayed by the above financial statements and the additional information provided.

Your analysis should be supported by any SEVEN profitability, liquidity and gearing and other appropriate ratios (up to 7 marks available).    (Total: 20 marks)
