It does not represent the amount of earnings actually distributed to shareholders. From 2002 to 2005, the Earnings per share (EPS) have been constantly getting higher and higher, however, it drops at 2006. 2005 has the highest EPS. The EPS is rather high, meaning that it has been making money. Although the EPS drop in 2006, it does not mean that the firm loses money, it is just that, the firm is making less money that year as compared to year 2005. Therefore, in conclusion, the firm is still making money. c) Operating Cash Flow (OCF) = Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) Taxes + Depreciation OPF = $61,000,000-$8,000,000+$226,000,000 OPF = $279,000,000 Free Cash Flow (FCF) = OPF Net Fixed Asset Investment (NFAI) Net Current Asset Investment (NCAI) NFAI = Change in Net Fixed Assets + Depreciation NFAI = (88,883-81,278) + 16,000,000 NFAI = 16,007,605

NCAI = Change in Current Assets Change in Spontaneous Current Liabilities (Accounts Payable + Accruals) NCAI = (173,696,000-203,686,000) ([41,210,000+85,240,000] [37,272,000+86,056,000]) NCAI =-29,990,000- (126,450,000-8,693,272) NCAI =-147,746,728 Therefore, FCF = $279,000,000 $16,007,605 (-$279,768,000) FCF = $542,760,395 -Operating cash flow is the cash flow a firm generates from its normal operations.

Objective 2-To determine the strength and weakness of the company Liquidity is a firms ability to satisfy its short-term obligation when they come due. In 2006, OSIMs current ratio is 1.02, which is higher than the industry average, 0.64. The higher the ratio, the more liquid the firm is. However, from 2005 to 2006, this ratio drops from 1.07 to 1.02. This means, the firm is more liquid in 2005 compared to 2006. Still, this is the strength of the company, as it is able to meet the short-term obligations. Activity measures the speed with which various accounts are converted into sales or cash-inflows or outflows. In 2006, OSIMs inventory turnover is 2.55, comparing to the industrys 26.65, OSIMs inventory turnover is not good. Thus, this is the weakness of the firm.

The debt ratio for OSIM in 2006 is 0.59, compared to the industry average, 0.76. Debt ratio measures the proportion of total assets financed by the firms creditors. Therefore, OSIM has lower risk and lower potential return compared to the industry average. In this case, it can be the strength of the company, as it does not take risk unnecessary. This can be further proven with the fact that the debt ratio in 2005 is 0.64, which is lower than 2006s debt ratio. Profitability enables analyst to evaluate the firms profits with respect to a given level of sales, a certain level of assets, or the owners investment. In 2006, the gross profit margin for OSIM is 62%, comparing to the industry average, 48.65%. OSIM has better sales since gross profit margin measures the percentage of each sales dollar remaining after the firm has paid for its goods. In addition, the ratio for 2005 was 48%. There is an improvement

from 2005 to 2006. So, this is strength, since it is able to make profit and the profit made is higher than the industry average. Market ratios relate a firms market value, as measured by its current share price, to certain accounting values. In 2006, OSIM has higher price/earnings ratio than the industry average, 48.9 to 20.09. This is strength, because investors are willing to pay this much of money to invest on the firm, so the firm will have more cash to make more money. Furthermore, the firms ratio in 2005 was 35.9, there is an increase.
