Analyst Note: GMG airlines holds poor capacity per fleet to satisfy the customers. The average no. of passengers per fleet is 150 persons whereas there exist a number of world class airlines like British Airways, Emirates which provide the capacity of 300-400 persons. Moreover some other facilities like fooding, extra spaces, churning is not in a good standard in comparison to other renowned airlines. So, it is not in the position of competitive advantage.

SWOT Assessment of GMG Airlines Limited

+ GMG airlines is the first private in + Service quality is not Internationally standard Bangladesh, therefore it attracts some customers + Sitting Capacity is low

Opportunities Threats

+The market is oligopolistic & there is a huge + New companies are trying to enter the market. scope to increase the market share + Risk of aircraft damage & process malfuction

As the first private airline in BD, GMG airlines has the scope to improve its performance & capacity to gain a huge market share & a long term reputation to make a threat for the competitors. Risk Factors: Analyst Note

+ In case of aircraft damage, any failure of commercially major flights will severly hamper GMG's long run prospect as the customer has more options & higher bergaining power. + GMG has no no automated worldwide reservation system. So, it burns the potential purchase orders. + Political & Industrial Unrest in Bangladesh are the grate risks for its business growth. + 47% Gross profit Margin indicates the premium pricing policy of the company. But in case of local routes, the higher ticket price may injure its sales potential seriously & customers can switch other airlines because of that. + Non Global standard of service will be a major cause of customer dissatisfaction in future.

Analyst Notes

+ Accounting information is not fully available for 5 years view as per the prospectus. + Abnormal increase in sales & profits represents the possibility of earnings management exercise. + Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) remains at a dissatisfactory level compared to opportunity cost. + No dividend payout history is observed which is a bad news for equity investors + Cash Flow Variability is high and Operating Cash Flow stands at substantially low as percetage of sales in 2009 and as a measure of return on capital employed. This indicates poor financial health in terms of cash generation. + Due to unavilability of the financial information in the prospectus, the red coloured fields can't be evaluated. Additional Analyst Forensic Particulars 2010 2009 Accrual Ratio 28% 9% Cash Ratio 86% 11% Debt to Equity Ratio (BEXIMCO) 64% 65% Revaluation Reserve to Total R&S 30% 93% Share Price based on Peer group PE ratio 583 435

Analysts Notes: + 77% Sales Growth & 112% Asset Growth over last five years are abnormal. It can be decreased drastically when more companies are involved in this industry. So, the growth doesn't reflect the long term growth. + Though the acrrual ratio of 2010 has increased to three times than 2009, it ensures good cash generations. About 63% increase in Accounts Receivales & 61% increase in Advance,Deposits & Prepayments ensures higher Accrual inj 2010. + The information regarding the Management personnel is insufficient to evaluate their credentials. + According to the Annexure of Fixed Assets the mentioned aircrafts don't exist. The company says that it has acquired the aircrafts but wheather those are purchased or lease hold is not mentioned in the prospectus. + The cash ratio in 2013 shows the stronger capability to meet the current liabilities in 2010. But it has been abnormally increased from 2009 to 2010. + The Debt to Equity Ratio of BEXIMCO group indicates its higher financial risk. As BEXIMCO holds the majority stocks of GMG Airlines, there is a possibility to squeez money from IPO to settle the leverage of BEXIMCO Group ultimately. + The revaluation of the Aircrafts is suspicious because the Aircrafts has depriciation over the useful life. + There is no explanatory notes regarding preliminary expense write-off & Amortization of deffered revenue expenses though it covers Tk 13 mn as income. + Share price based on peer group PE ratio doesn't cover fundamental anlysis & covers mostly market sentiment. This valuation overstates the overall price discovery tremendouslyunder Book Building Method. So, the offer price is not rationale.
