Trang 12As recently as 2014, Coreblue was featured in lists highlighting the best performing funds, but recent poor performance has resulted in a 24% drop in assets undermanagement. A thorough inhouse review revealed that several of the historically bestperforming investments in one of Coreblue's biggest funds had not been subject
to the mandatory screening process. Three of these investments subsequently saw decreases in market capitalization of more than 40% and were responsible for morethan 70% of the drop in the fund's active return
Longton is currently reviewing the investments in question in order to report to Coreblue whether any warning signs were evident from the financial statements. Longtonhopes this report will lead to a much bigger project for BKJE involving redesign of Coreblue's screening and analysis process
The first company Longton is reviewing, Reddyfast, Inc., rose to prominence in 2012 when it promised to deliver custom built kitchen/dining room extensions in customerbackyards, which could be built onsite in a day. Longton intends to include in her report the following extracts from Reddyfast's financial statements shown in Exhibit 1
Longton has isolated these figures as she believes that analysis of the relationship between receivables and revenue should have revealed cause for concern over theperiod 20122014. She intends to restate the financial statements for accounts receivables sold, and then compute the trend in days of sales outstanding using endofyear receivables
Longton plans to make the following statements concerning inventory management trends that Coreblue should be on the lookout for:
Statement 1
A substantial and unexpected increase in sales in the final quarter may be a sign that a company is using billandhold transactions to give a oneoff boost to revenueand cash flows toward the end of a period
Statement 2
Earnings are made up of a cash earnings component and an accrual earning component. The cash component of earnings is more persistent. A firm with a higherproportion of cash earnings will have a higher β in the following expression of earnings persistence:
Earnings = α + β(Earnings ) + ε
The second company in question is Ervington Boddan, Inc. (EB), a provider of heating solutions for recreational vehicles across the United States. Three board members
of EB have also served as board members for Reddyfast since its inception in 2009
Longton is concerned that EB's growth is fueled largely by income from associates, and, as a result, Longton intends to prepare a report showing the core ROE withoutincluding the results on such investments. In order to illustrate the driving forces behind ROE, she intends to perform a classic DuPont analysis that excludes the impact
Trang 13Due to the nature of its business, Yopatta (like its peers) has relatively few tangible assets on its balance sheet. However, on reviewing the notes to the balance sheet,Longton identifies that Yopatta has a significant operating lease commitment. Using endofyear reported balance sheet data, Longton calculated Yopatta's debttoequity ratio to be 48%. She now intends to restate the ratio after capitalizing operating lease commitments using the information in Exhibit 3.

The requirement to capitalize operating leases will impact not only leverage ratios, but also coverage ratios based on the income statement. This lease capitalization will result in a decrease in operating profit, a decrease in interest expense, and a decrease in interest coverage ratios.
