The bank provided a $3 million overdraft facility to company F that was increased to $5 million. Reviewing F's financial statements, the section head is concerned about F's performance over the last year and is considering terminating the overdraft facility. F's income statement shows a $1 million loss for the six months ending September 2025 compared to a $100,000 profit the prior period. F's balance sheet shows declining current and non-current assets compared to increasing current liabilities. Estimated forced sale values of F's assets are well below their book values, indicating potential insolvency.

Comments based on FPIs

You are employed in the small business section of a medium-sized bank. Some time ago the bank
provided a local manufacturing company, F, with an overdraft facility of $3,000,000. This limit was
reached on 30 September 20X4 but was increased then to $5,000,000.
Your section head has just received the half-yearly financial statements of F for the period to 30
September 20X5. Having read these statements, your section head is extremely concerned as to the
performance of the company over the last year and is considering recommending the termination of the
overdraft facility. Before making any further decision, your section head wishes to have a second opinion.
Accordingly, he leaves a file of information concerning F on your desk and requires a report
recommending the best course of action. Information contained in the file:

Required:

appraisal of the performance and financial position of F and considers the implications for the
bank of calling in the overdraft.

limitations of the information available to you as a basis for making a recommendation as to the
wisdom or otherwise of calling in the overdraft.
