1.0 Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders
As you know we started off with a huge debt and a couple of years with huge losses. But times have change for BikeSmith, good times are coming.
Despite the crisis 2009 was a good year for BikeSmith, we as a company grew with 33.5%. Nobody grew that fast in 2009. During these hard times we achieved to make a profit. The profit for the first halve of 2009 is €9,066,790. We now see a big grow in our income compared to the €2,562,954 in the first halve of 2008.
2009 will be seen as a turning point for our company. We now see that we keep growing and that it is not a one-time thing. We know that the our debts will be gone in a couple of years , if we keep continuing like this and keep exploring new markets.
The reason that we have such a success is, we have cut on prices and we have changed our production. We cut prices for some market research, because a lot of markets are already known, and we changed the production by producing the same amount that is needed.
During 2009 we produced 172,157 normal bicycles, 196,750 racing

    Net sales for Competition Bikes, Inc. increased 33% from year 6 to year 7. This yielded a 31.8% increase in costs of goods sold. Gross profit in year 7 was up by 37.5%. This is done by subtracting the cost of goods sold (3,294,000) from net sales (4,485,000) and resulting in the 37.5%. Their overall net earnings increased 313.4% in the course of year 6 to year 7. That is roughly three times their previous earnings. This growth could be attributed to the increased amount of money spent on research and devolvement and on various advertisements. (WGU, 2014)…

    JET2 Task 2 Report

    • 3197 Words
    • 13 Pages

    Upon reviewing the Competition Bikes Inc. (CBI) Budget Schedules and ProFormas for Year 9, there are a few concerns that should be analyzed. The first is the forecasted sales in units. The forecast for year 9 is 3,510 units, which is a 3.2% increase over the 3,400 units sold in year 8. The storyline mentions the economic downturn, which has led to a decrease in bike sales. It can take some time to recover sales lost during an economic downturn, and given that sales were down 15% between year 7 and year 8, to go from a 15% decrease in sales to a 3.2% increase in sales in the span of only two years may be an unrealistic goal. I would want to see a specific plan in place for how the company plans to accomplish this substantial increase in sales in such a challenging market (such as an increase in advertising budget, or R&D developing a new product feature that will help differentiate CBI’s bikes from the competition).…

    Task 2 Budget Planning

    • 1895 Words
    • 8 Pages

    There are a few areas of concern when looking over Competition Bike’s budget for the upcoming year (Year 9). This budget estimates that 3,510 units will be sold. CB has just experienced a 15 % decline in sales, due to the economic situation. In year 8, CB sold 3,400 units. This flexible budget is allowing 110 more units be added into the mix. Although sales trends have remained consistent, despite the decline in sales from professional riders, it might be wise to not aim as high to make sure the recovery actually does occur. The sales forecast predicts that CB will recover over the next 3 years. CB estimates over $100,000 more in cash and cash equivalents for year 9. This is, of course due to the increase in unit sales that is worked into the budget. It might be a better idea to underestimate rather than overestimate when it comes to cash on hand.…

    The horizontal analysis is a method used to analyze changes in the company’s financial health between years in values of dollars and percentages using data from the balance sheet and income statement. In the horizontal analysis a base year is set and then other years are compared to the base year. The horizontal analysis will be used to assess Competition Bikes actual financial operating performance based on the time period between years 6 through 8, with year 6 set as the base year. Starting with an analysis between year 6 and year 7, we look at the horizontal financial changes to determine actual performance by the percentages. Net sales in years 6 and 7 reflect a change of $1,495,000 at a 33% increase change. This change is positive which translates into higher sales which also mean the operating performance was good for the company and customers really liked the products. The cost of goods sold reflects a change of $1,048,000 at a 31% increase change. This percentage is financial strength for company again which means the customer liked the products. This percentage should remain lower than the net sales, and the percentage reflect an added strength for the company because this percentage is lower than net sales, so here the Competition Bikes has control over the cost of making the Bikes to increase revenue. In the same years (6 and 7) the horizontal comparison ratio for gross profits reflected a change of $447,000 which is a positive increase of 37.5%. Therefore, 37.5% of each dollar from sales was retained after the cost of…

    Lewis Llewellyn and Dai Armstrong were the first two men who made a plan of opening their own company after being redundant as the consequence of the closure of their town’s steel works in South Wales. Both of them belonged to the local cycle touring club and since then, they had become close friends. With the idea of making a traditional upright cycle in sharp of the 1940’s and 1950’s, Cyclermate Ltd has been established and quickly gained success and attracted a number of attentions of customers owing to its high quality hand - made products and word – of – mouth reputation. Over the next 15 years, the company had still expanded and continued to be successful when persuading many small cycle shops in Wales and England to display or at least to keep a stock of brochures of its products. Everything seems to work quite smoothly until 2010, when Cyclermate has faced a lot of issues in terms of finance, human resource and operation. To be specific, the demand among buyers in this field continues to fall even price of each Cyclermate’s product has been reduced; the quality of its products are no longer as good as it was in the past which illustrated by the increase of complaints from customers about its quality and fault and the bank manager has expressed concern about the overdraft which will cost Cyclermate a big trouble if it does not solve these problems immediately. These are just some of the obstacles which the company has faced so in this essay, I will analyze more clearly about its difficulty and recommend some positive solutions for Cyclermate which it can follows to handle these issues.…
