Trade Finance

saa'International trade' is the exchange of goods and services across international


.boundaries or territories International trade can be defined as either the buying (importing) or selling (exporting) of goods or services on a global basis. In most countries, it represents a significant share of GDP. While international trade has been present throughout much of history its economic, social, and political importance have been on the rise in recent centuries, mainly because of Industrialization, advanced transportation, Globalization, Multinational corporations, and outsourcing. In fact, it is probably the increasing prevalence of international trade that is usually meant by the term .""globalization International trade is also a branch of economics, which together with International .finance, forms the larger branch of International economics

Methods Of Payment .There are four methods of payments in the international trade which are as under

:Planning & Budgeting Planning and budgeting department is concerned with preparation of budgets and making forecasts for coming years to help in decision making and planning in the .present Forecasting is The process of analyzing current and historical data to determine future trends

Planning is a tool which helps management in its attempts to cope with the uncertainty of the future. It starts with certain assumptions based on the management's experience, knowledge, and judgment. These estimates are projected into the coming months or years using one or more techniques such as Box-Jenkins models, Delphi method, exponential smoothing, moving averages,

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

59

regression analysis, and trend projection. Since any error in the assumptions will result in a similar or magnified error in forecasting, the technique of sensitivity analysis is used which assigns a range of values to the uncertain factors (variables). A forecast (which indicates what 'might' happen) should not be confused with a .(budget (which shows what 'ought' to happen

.Eg Stock analysts use various forecasting methods to determine future stock price movements, earnings, etc. Economists use forecasting techniques in order to .determine future economic trends Most people view the world as consisting of a large number of alternatives. Futures research evolved as a way of examining the alternative futures and identifying the most probable. Forecasting is designed to help decision making and planning in the .present Forecasts empower people because their use implies that we can modify variables now to alter (or be prepared for) the future. A prediction is an invitation to introduce change into a System

FORECASTING METHODS
All forecasting methods can be divided into two broad categories: Qualitative and Quantitative. Many forecasting techniques use past or historical data in the form of time series. A time series is simply a set of observations measured at successive points in time or over successive periods of time. Forecasts essentially provide future values of the time series on a specific variable such as sales volume. Division of forecasting methods into qualitative and quantitative categories is based on the .availability of historical time series data

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

60

QUALITATIVE FORECASTING METHODS


Qualitative forecasting methods are based on educated opinions of appropriate persons

Delphi method: forecast is developed by a panel of experts who anonymously .1


answer a series of questions; responses are fed back to panel members who then may change their original responses very time consuming and expensive new groupware makes this process much more feasible .Market research: panels, questionnaires, test markets, surveys, etc .2 Product life-cycle analogy: forecasts based on life-cycles of similar products, .3 services, or processes Expert judgments. by management, sales force, or other knowledgeable persons .4

QUANTITATIVE FORECASTING METHODS TIME SERIES FORECASTING METHODS Time series forecasting methods are based on analysis of historical data (time series: a set of observations measured at successive times or over successive periods). They make the assumption that past patterns in data can be used to .forecast future data points Moving averages (simple moving average, weighted moving average): forecast is .1 based on arithmetic average of a given number of past data points Exponential smoothing (single exponential smoothing, double exponential .2 .smoothing): a type of weighted moving average that allows inclusion of trends, etc

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

61

Mathematical models (trend lines, log-linear models, Fourier series, etc.): linear .3 or non-linear models fitted to time-series data, usually by regression methods Box-Jenkins methods: autocorrelation methods used to identify underlying time .4 .series and to fit the "best" mode

Forecasting In Different Sectors

Financial Forecasting
Financial Forecasting describes the process by which firms think about and prepare for the future. The forecasting process provides the means for a firm to express its goals and priorities and to ensure that they are internally consistent. It also assists .the firm in identifying the asset requirements and needs for external financing

Telecommunications forecasting
All telecommunications service providers perform forecasting calculations to assist them in planning their networks. Accurate forecasting helps operators to make key investment decisions relating to product development and introduction, advertising, pricing etc, well in advance of product launch, which helps to ensure that the company will make a profit on a new venture and that capital is invested wisely

Manufacturing Forecasting

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

62

The manufacturing challenge is to deliver the best possible service with the forecast information they can reasonably expect. The long term solution to the problem of sales forecasting is to increase flexibility and reduce lead times to the extent that you are able to react faster than your customers. The forecast then becomes much less .important except as a long range or strategic planning tool

Budgeting
Establishing a planned level of expenditures, usually at a fairly detailed level. A company may plan and maintain a budget on .either an accrual or a cash basis

Business budgeting is one of the most powerful financial tools available to any smallbusiness owner. Put simply, maintaining a good short- and long-range financial plan .enables you to control your cash flow instead of having it control you The most effective financial budget includes both a short-range, month-to-month plan for at least one calendar year and a long-range, quarter-to-quarter plan you use for financial statement reporting. It should be prepared during the two months preceding .the fiscal year-end to allow ample time for sufficient information-gathering Many financial budgets provide a plan only for the income statement; however, it's important to budget both the income statement and balance sheet. This enables you to consider potential cash-flow needs for your entire operation, not just as they pertain to income and expenses. For instance, if you'd already been in business for a few years and were adding a new product line, you'd need to consider the impact of .inventory purchases on cash flow :There are thee main budgeting techniques Incremental budgeting Zero-based budgeting Flexed budgeting
Internship Report : Warid Telecom

63

Incremental Budgeting
The incremental approach to budgeting combines the costs identified from the previous accounting period with percentage additions. These percentage additions are utilised to cover two key areas which include cost increases as a result of inflation or higher purchases costs and predictions associated with increases in .costs and income as a result of business volume predictions A key limitation of the incremental budgeting system is the manner in which percentages are added in a blanket fashion resulting in the likelihood of higher overall costs in the long-term. This may then also result in a business having to .increase its sale prices to a level that is no longer competitive

Zero-Based Budgeting
Zero-based budgeting system requires budgeting to commence with the assumption that every cost has a zero base. Next, each item relating to expenditure is worked through and decisions are made as to whether the purchase is completely essential. Then different purchasing options associated with the specific item are explored as a .means of ensuring the item is obtained as cost-effectively as possible One of the main limitations of the zero-budgeting system is that it can take an awful lot of time to work through each individual cost in this manner. However, it is fair to add that utilising this approach will then provide an extremely useful database .containing valuable, time-saving information for the years to come

Flexed Budgeting

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

64

As with zero-based budgeting, the flexed budgeting system gives its name away in the title as it involves 'flexing' the normal budget. The benefits of flexed budgeting are that it is likely to be considerably more accurate as the budget is adapted to suit various external changes. Within this approach managers are able to provide key information resulting in an achievable budget, pessimistic budget and optimistic .budget Through undertaking the process of flexed budgeting, managers are better able to make important decision relating to risk and expenditure, having gained a wider .perspective on best and worst outcomes Budgeting & Cost Control :The major Tasks in this department are Business case Evaluation Decision making For approval of budget Variance analysis Using ERP Whenever budget is required for any new project an approval note is sent to the budgeting and cost control department for approval. Here the project is evaluated with the help of past records and it is calculated that weather this project will give benefit to the organization or not. If its more costly and cannot generate revenues .within 6 months the project is canceled

Ratio Analysis
Ratio Analysis is a form of Financial Statement Analysis that is used to obtain a quick indication of a firm's financial performance in several key areas. The ratios are categorized as Short-term Solvency Ratios, Debt Management Ratios, Asset .Management Ratios, Profitability Ratios, and Market Value Ratios Ratio Analysis as a tool possesses several important features. The data, which are provided by financial statements, are readily available. The computation of ratios facilitates the comparison of firms which differ in size. Ratios can be used to compare a firm's financial performance with industry averages. In addition, ratios can be used in a form of trend analysis to identify areas where performance has .improved or deteriorated over time

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

71

Because Ratio Analysis is based upon Accounting information, its effectiveness is limited by the distortions which arise in financial statements due to such things as Historical Cost Accounting and inflation. Therefore, Ratio Analysis should only be used as a first step in financial analysis, to obtain a quick indication of a firm's .performance and to identify areas which need to be investigated further

Liquidity
Liquidity Position
The liquidity position of the company continues to suffer since a setback in FY08. This trend has been witnessed despite increasing current assets, as current liabilities grew more sharply. The short term borrowings of the company have been mounting for the last few years and this has contributed to the current trend of the current ratio. It may be noted that the company holds large amounts of cash and bank balances compared to the other companies in the business. This may provide an edge to the .company over its competitors

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

72

The current ratio is one of the most commonly cited financial ratios. Current ratio .measures the firms ability to meet its shirt term obligations Current ratio has shown a negative trend by 0.30.This is due to 164.68% increase in current liabilities and 136.91% increase in current assets. This shows that liquidity of WARID has decreased. . Standard for current ratio is generally 2 times. The more predictable a firms cash flow, the lower the acceptable current ratio. Because WARID is in a business with a relatively predictable annual cash flow, its current .ratio of 1.50 should be quiet acceptable

The Quick (acid-test) ratio is similar to the current ratio except that it excludes
.inventory, which is generally the least liquid current asset

Quick ratio has shown a negative trend of 0.22 times. This is due to increase in current liabilities by 164.68% and 136.91 in current asset. Inventory value has also risen. This has caused the quick ratio to fall this year. A quick ratio of 1.0 ore greater is generally accepted, but as with current ratio, what value is acceptable depends on .the industry

In trend analysis we done two types of analysis, these are

Horizontal Analysis .1 It is conducted by setting consecutive balance sheet, income statement or statement of cash flow side-by-side and reviewing changes in individual categories .on a year-to-year or multiyear basis A comparison of statements over several years reveals direction, speed and extent of a trend(s). The horizontal financial statements analysis is done by restating .amount of each item or group of items as a percentage

Vertical Analysis .2 Like horizontal analysis this can also done for balance sheet and income statement. Here we assign 100% value to any key item of balance sheet or income .statement and then see portion of other items in this percentage

INTERPRETATION OF INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS REVENUE

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

89

The reason for decrease in revenue by 10.7% is because of decrease in domestic revenue. International revenue of WARID has increased while the domestic revenue of WARID has fallen due to competition and other economic conditions of the .country Revenue is exclusive of excise duty amounting to Rs 8,611,191 thousand (2008: Rs .(7,631,695 thousand International revenue represents revenue from foreign network operators for calls that originate outside Pakistan and it has been shown net of interconnect cost relating to the other operators and Access Promotion Charges aggregating to Rs. .(10,886,794 thousand (2008: Rs 7,758,176 thousand

COST OF SERVICES
Cost of services has shown an increase of 1.03% which is mainly due to increase in inflation rate causing the fuel and power prices to jump up and Foreign operators .cost and satellite charges have also shown a remarkable increase

OPERATING EXPENSES
ADMINISTRATION AND GENERAL EXPENSES Operating expenses have shown a decline in FY09 by 14.82% which is an significant improvement. This is mainly due to reduction is expenses like Salaries, allowances and other benefits , Repairs and maintenance, Printing and stationery, Travelling and conveyance, Technical services fee, Research and development and Other .expenses SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSE In the decrease of Operating expenses selling and marketing expense has not .played any significant role rather these expenses have risen in FY09

OTHER EXPENSES AND INCOMES

Financial Analysis
Liquidity Position
The liquidity position of the company continues to suffer since a setback in FY08. This trend has been witnessed despite increasing current assets, as current liabilities grew more sharply. The short term borrowings of the company have been mounting for the last few years and this has contributed to the current trend of the current ratio. It may be noted that the company holds large amounts of cash and bank balances compared to the other companies in the business. This may provide an edge to the .company over its competitors Both current and quick ratios have shown a negative trend by 0.31 times and 0.22 respectively. Standard for current ratio and quick ratio is is generally 2 times and 1 .times respectively Although the liquidity stance of the company is fairly satisfactory at the moment, but .a continuation of the current negative trend may spell trouble for the company

Profitability Position
WARID posted a net profit of Rs 9.15 billion in FY09 against last year's net loss figure of Rs 2.83 billion. Earnings per share have also increased to Rs 1.79 from (0.55). WARID has recovered from the state of loss although the overall telecom

Internship Report : Warid Telecom

sector consumer base is showing a declining effect. It is mainly due to effective .marketing strategies adopted by the company Although WARID maintained its market share in the fixed line, there was a decrease .in revenues by 10.7% mainly due to substitution impact of mobile expansion With increase in profit, the WARID also managed to increase its net cash flows to Rs 16.81 billion compared to last year decrease in net cash flows of Rs 16.24 billion which is a significant recovery of almost double. Considering the cash requirements for restructuring and development plan, the company declared a final dividend of Rs 1.50 per share for the financial year ended June 30, 2009. The total revenue for FY 2008-09 stood at Rs 59.24 billion against Rs 66.34 billion of FY 2006-07. The decrease in revenue was mainly in the domestic segment due to competition and reduction in tariffs. However, WARID is making all efforts to boost revenue by .improving customer service and launching new services to turn around the situation

Leverage Position
The debt equity ratio has shown that debt has increased and equity has decreased by 1 .percent each The debt ratios showed an increasing trend in the FY09. The debt to asset ratio of the company had declined considerably in FY07 and FY08, increasing again in FY09 by almost 30% from 27.48% in FY08 to 35.66% inFY09. It is important to note that the company maintains a largely unleveraged capital structure, with the current trend in debt ratios bought .about largely by changes in current liabilities of the company This was brought about mostly due to increase in current liabilities of the company in FY09. The absence of the dividends payable portion of current liabilities in FY08 and its coming .back online in FY09 was an important contributor to the trend Time Interest Earned ratio has also increased to 15.43% in FY09 as compared to -5.26 in FY08. The higher the value the better the firm is able to fulfill its obligation related to interest payable. WARID has certainly shown a tremendous improvement in its ability to make .contractual interest payments

Activity Position

Conclusion And Recommendations

The mobile industry has seen phenomenal growth over the year. This growth is not new to the industry, as previous years have shown substantial growth as well. This growth is a direct result of the increased competition in the mobile industry, resulting into better services at reduced rate. Furthermore, this has favorably affected our economy as a whole, generating revenues for the government, through direct and indirect taxation and creating employment opportunities for the people. The mobile industry of Pakistan is considered by a majority of prospective
.employees as the best industry for a job

Although the mobile industry has seen substantial growth over the years, many observers feel that the industry may become saturated and will show lower growth rates as a result of increased taxation and the general economic conditions of Pakistan. Although the concerns may be valid to some extent, but with PTA, introducing the 3G platform in the coming years and a major part of our population still without mobile connectivity, especially in distant villages, there is still optimism that the mobile industry will not become saturated and there is still place for competition
