CASE 1 Swiss Sdn Bhd (SSB) produces dairy products and requires seasonal working capital. These were funded mostly through bank loans and overdraft facilities, which currently total RM1.2 million. A price cap on dairy products and a new deal with unions that boosted wages resulted in a decline in profit for the company in the second half of 2018 and for the majority of the financial year 2019. Sales increased dramatically throughout both of these years, owing to a strong advertising strategy. The company's bank manager became aware of SSB's declining financial status in early fiscal year 2020 after seeing a ratio analysis from the bank's computer system. This indicated that key ratios extracted from the quarterly management account had fallen below the industry average and were trending downward. The manager forwarded a copy of the analysis and a letter expressing his worry to the SSB's managing director None of the ratios, however, had gone below the levels set in the loan arrangement Three months later, following investigation revealed that the current ratio had gone below the agreement's limit of 2.0. Legally, if the loan is not repaid in full within one month, the bank may take action. The bank manager relayed the analysis to the managing director once more. This time, though, the accompanying letter stated that the bank would want immediate repayment unless it could demonstrate how the financial situation could be addressed. According to the managing director, the current level of sales cannot be sustained without spending RM500,000 on additional equipment and machinery in July 2020. This will necessitate an increase from RM1.2 million to RM1.7 million in loan and overdraft facilities. It is now July 2020.
