Investments and Financing
1. Has your company made any investments or divestments* in the past two years?
 Summarise the investments and try to establish how these investments were financed (the statement of cash flows and the notes will provide you with some of this information).
 Summarise any divestments and the financial impact of these. For example were they loss making?
 Were reasons given for the investments/divestments – was it part of the overall business strategy of the company?
*Divestments could be either the disposal of a particular asset (for example PPE) or it could be the disposal of a whole business (a discontinued operation).
2. What is the financing structure of your company?
 Have there been changes to this mix over the last year and what were the changes? (Include any repayment of debt and refinancing with debt.)
 Comment on the appropriateness of these changes.
3. Search for at least three articles from business magazines, academic journals, or newspapers on the appropriateness of different forms of financing for companies. For example – when it is appropriate to have short-term financing, and what is the best form of financing? When is it appropriate to have long-term financing and what is the best type? Write a brief report.
