Key Questions
If you know any of the answers to the questions below I'd love to hear what you think, comment and let me know. Thank you.
1. What is the difference between “segment
result” and “statutory result”?
2. APN said they were focusing on
generating cash, but is this sustainable for the years to come?
3. APN has a number of trade
purposes, including radio, outdoor advertising, media and digital does your company have one sole trade purpose of a few?
4. What does NTA stand for?
5. What is an advertising down turn?
6. What is a deferred tax asset?
7. The board decided not to pay
final dividends for 2013 financial year? What does this mean?
8. APN supports a number of
different charities each year, does your firm support any charities?
9. When looking over the annual
reports, I found some inconsistencies with figures from the same year that were
on different reports (e.g. the 2012 figures will be on the 2012 and 2013
reports). Is this normal for reports? Did you find inconsistencies in your
reports?
10. I have noticed that APN is has had a number of changes with their CEO and board members. This does not leave much for consistency and stability? What do you think?
11. I noticed in the annual report,
it talked about “non-controlling interests”, what does this refer to?
12. With the sale of APN’s remaining
interests in outdoor, e-commerce and other NZ brands, do you think this was a
good strategic move for the company?
Hi Hayley, love the blog and these are some great questions. Hopefully I can help with a few.
ReplyDeleteQ3: My company is a provided of wireless Internet networks and community broadband, so my company has 2 although I think they are very similar.
Q4: NTA stands for net tangible assets. Calculated as the total assets of a company, minus any intangible assets such as goodwill, patents and trademarks, less all liabilities and the par value of preferred stock. Also known as "net asset value" or "book value".
Q6: a deferred tax assets is an asset on a company's balance sheet that may be used to reduce any subsequent period's income tax expense. Deferred tax assets can arise due to net loss carryovers, which are only recorded as assets if it is deemed more likely than not that the asset will be used in future fiscal periods.
Hope I have helped a little... Good luck.
