    couldnt believe they have a whole question about interest swap and collar, but not the usual futures and options.

    I did the football question and interest swap question first, then i have 1 and half hour left for question 1(the Nasi NPV question). when i got all the years negative NPV, i know this is done….

    and didnt have time to complete the discussion bits….lets do it again in March…
    i hope they wont make these weird questions again

    Does OBU really send emails with results? Only for the ones who pass?

    Hi everybody
    I’ve completed the PESTEL, SWOT and 5 forces analysis for my report, now i have the ratio analysis and conclusion left to do.
    I’ve been reading lots of posts in this forum but still have got an idea how to start off with.
    I’ve read the CEO comments and other stuffs in the previous annual reports too, but don’t really know what data should be put into my spreadsheet to start.
    btw, i’ve chosen Topic 8: airlines and the deadline is coming very soon.

    Should i put all the figures from the FS to my spreadsheet, then start working out ratios underneath them? Or should i put the FS figures in different tabs? if so, how do i use the figures from other tabs in the formulae ? (Sorry im a complete newbie in Excel)

    Any advice would be very much appreciated!!!!

    Could someone share their company selection for topic 8?

    I just found out the companies i’ve chosen had different reporting period, and they’re in the airline industry. So, i may have to adjust the figures in order to compare them, this would be quite difficult and i want to avoid unnecessary inaccuracies in the process.

    Anyone has some good examples of company choice i could have a look?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi everyone, i need some advice about the financial information i’ve obtained so far.

    For my main company,
    They published their annual report FY ended 30 Sep 2015, and the latest result was Quarterly report ended 30 Dec 2015.

    For the comparator company,
    Their annual report FY ended March 31 2015 , and the latest result was Quarterly report ended 30 Dec 2015.

    Do you know how should i cope with the fact that they have different reporting period (6 months difference in annual reports)?
    Do i need to adjust my comparator’s financial figures manually to match my main company’s timeline?

    Many Thanks in advance!
