AUDITING REPORT DATA
RG BRANDS LLP presented auditing reports on its financial statements for 1999 made by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (Almaty, Kazakhstan) made by the Kazakhstani accounting standards, and for 9 month 2000 made by Kazexpertaudit (Almaty, Kazakhstan) in compliance with the Kazakhstani accounting standards.
In auditing report the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP notes that except for the absence of comparable data, as it is required by the Kazakhstani accounting standards, financial statements give a reliable presentation of financial situation of RG BRANDS LLP in all necessary aspects as of December 31, 1999, as well as the results of its financial and economic activities and cash flows as of indicated period in accordance with Kazakhstan accounting standards.
In its auditing report the Kazexpertaudit LLP notes that financial statements give a reliable presentation of financial situation of the company in all necessary aspects as of October 1, 2000 and are in compliance with the methods used in Kazakhstan to make financial statements.
The Kazexpertaudit LLP has also conducted auditing of the RG BRANDS LLP financial condition and solvency. In the view of the Kazexpertaudit, the company can not cover its current liabilities as of reporting date, since it does not have sufficient cash and financial investments (payments reached KZT102,188 th.). However, the company has noticeable amount of accounts receivable and if they are paid back soon it can cover all its debt and improve financial condition. The only source of the improvement of its financial situation are the loans or involvement of new partners and founders.
To estimate the liquidity an inequality was used and based on it the company was declared liquid.
The Kazexpertaudit notes that the RG BRANDS LLP is dependent on the loans and investors, since self-sufficiency coefficient is equal to theoretical 0.54, which confirms the company's financial stability. In the opinion of the auditor, the RG BRANDS LLP, which uses its own capital only, has the highest degree of stability, but it limits its growth temps, as it can not provide with sufficient volumes of assets during a favorable market and does not use financial growth opportunities of its income per invested capital. Excessive financial flexibility can cut the profit margin.
