Project description:

Company is Burberry clothing group PLC.

Part One: Understand the business

Find out what your chosen company does. Use multiple sources of information (annual report, Facebook, corporate website, FT.com, news comment, search engines, academic databases). Don’t forget to include something about competitors and the industry generally and find out what professional analysts and the City are saying about your chosen company.

There is no set word limit, although you should try to answer each of the questions succinctly and in your own words. A version of this will serve as the introduction to your main coursework report.

Here are some “starter questions” for consideration:

1. What is the core business?

2. What is the strategy for the future?

3. How will the company grow? Does it grow through acquisitions?

4. What is the competitive environment?

5. Who are the main competitors?

6. What are the main risks facing the firm? Would you describe this as a risky firm?

7. Summarise recent financial data from the company’s “tear sheet”. What is the P/E ratio and P/B ratio?

8. Can you find and summarise a recent analyst’s report?

9. Do analysts believe the company’s shares are cheap, expensive or reasonably priced (SELL, BUY or HOLD?)

10. What do recent news reports say about the company? Are there any statements that you do not understand?
Part Two: The Financial Statements

Familiarise yourself with the financial statements in summary form. Do not worry about the detail, but make sure you can identify the primary financial statements and appreciate their main features. Look for the comparatives

(the same figures for the previous year).

1. Reconcile the Cash Flow Statement with opening and closing cash on the balance sheet.

2. List the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and identify those that you think are reported close to their fair or market values.
