Chapter 1: Company Strategy and Business Environment – Question 4
Identify broad-based social, political, economic, and technological concerns that may affect your company. Put N/A if one of the categories does not apply.
Social:
They operate in an extremely competitive market. The domestic airline industry is characterized by low profit margins, high fixed costs and significant price competition.
Many of their competitors are larger, have greater financial resources, and have better name recognition than they do.
Political:
The State of Hawaii now seeks to impose new laws and regulations on the airline industry that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Economic:
The success of their business is dependent on ‘world-wide economic conditions’.
Demand for discretionary purchases in general, and air travel and vacatins to Hawaii in particular, remains unpredictable. Negative changes in exchange rates between the US
Dollar and other foreign currencies can have an impact on the growth of their business.
Finally, the economic banks recession in the past few years has increasingly lead to diminishing the ability to finance.
Technological:
They depend heavily on computer systems and technology to operate their business.
Any substantial or repeated failures of their computer, website or communications systems could negatively affect their customer service, compromise the security of customer information, result in the loss of important data, loss of revenue, and increased cost.

Chapter 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Question 1
Results of Operations:
Identify the primary drivers/issues that explain current and future results of operations discussed in the MD&A. For example, the gross profit percentage increased because of improved buyer/supplier relations resulting in greater overall operating performance. Or an increase in operating expenses because of increased fuel costs reduced profits. List the six major drivers/issues of performance you find in the MD&A section of the annual report.
1.
Our 2011 results reflect the impact of a non-recurring, pre-tax lease termination
2.Operating revenue increased over the past three years due to increases in passenger revenue.
3.Operating expenses have increased in the past three years due to the purchase of new inventory (planes) including: the new Airbus A330-200.
4.Maintenance Materials and Repairs have increased due to the purchasing of the new
Airbus and the maintainence on their other Boeing planes due to 10-year airframe checks mandated by the federal government.
5.
The increase in nonoperating expense in 2011 compared to 2010 is primarily related to an increase in interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs due to the additional financings we entered into in 2011 and losses recognized on our fuel derivatives.
6.
Our liquidity is dependent on the cash we generate from operating activities and our financing arrangements. Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly in 2011. Our restricted cash balance , which consisted almost entirely of cash held as collateral by entities that process our credit card transactions for advance ticket sales.
Liquidity:
Recap what you find about your company’s liquidity in the MD&A section of the annual report. Look for information about the ability of the company to satisfy shortterm cash needs and the ability to generate operating cash flows, for example.
Our liquidity is dependent on the cash we generate from operating activities and our financing arrangements. Had a 19.1 million dollar increase in cash and cash equivalents from the prior year.
9

Capital Resources:
Recap what you find about your company’s capital resources in the MD&A section of the annual report. Look for information about cash reserves and credit availability. For example, your company’s MD&A section may have a disclosure about an established lined of credit to fund future growth.
We have been able to generate sufficient funds from our operations to meet our working capital requirements and typically finance our aircraft through secured debt financing. They had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $56.9 million available (net of various outstanding letters of credit).

Aircraft fuel increases
Maintanence materials and repairs expense
Maintenance materials and repairs expense increased by $45.9 million, or 37.0%, in 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to additional expenses under power-by-the-hour (PBH) arrangements for our Airbus A330-200 fleet additions during 2011

Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 1
Identify the date shown at the top of your selected company’s balance sheet.
Current Year Prior Year
1/1/2011 1/1/2010
Does the company’s fiscal year follow the calendar year? Yes
If not, why do you think it is different?
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 2
Review the current asset section of your selected company’s balance sheet. Explain why the order of individual items begins with cash. In your opinion, would it be more or less appropriate to order these items according to dollar magnitude? Explain.
These items are ordered this way based on liquitidy, meaning how fast an item can turn into cash. I think it would be fair to order the items based on their quantity level, but this is the way GAAP requires so that is how it will be done.
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 3
Review your company’s balance sheet (or SEC Form 10-K) and compare accumulated depreciation to the historical cost of Plant and Equipment (PE) using the following ratio.
Compute the following:
Accumulated depreciation /
Plant and Equipment
181,599/729,127 = 0.25
Percentage of Asset Life Remaining

High percentage means older assets

Low percentage means newer assets
Is the investment in fixed assets, on average, relatively recent? If not, can we assume that these assets will be replaced shortly?
13

Yes, for the most part the fixed assets on their books are recent since they doubled their flight equipment inventory in the last year.
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 4
Since property, plant, and equipment (PPE) and long-term investments in stock represent a company’s investment, why do we distinguish between them in the balance sheet?
Because PPE are more liquid than long-term investments and thus go ahead of the stocks on the balance sheet.
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 5
Review the noncurrent asset section of your company’s balance sheet. Are any intangible assets listed? If so, identify the types of intangible assets and the percent of total assets that the intangible assets represent.
Intangible Asset 1:Intangible Assets $45,368
Intangible Asset 2:Goodwill $106,663
Intangible Asset 3: Click here to enter text.
Total Intangible Assets

Total Assets = 0.072 = 7.2%
If this company were to be acquired by another company, would the intangible assets influence the purchase price? Explain your answer.
Yes the positive good will that the company has established would increase its selling price if it were to be bought by a company. The company has a reputation of providing quality customer service with good/ well trained employees. This is not necessarily shown explicitly on the BS, but we can infer from the intangible asset that the company has reason to ask for more on its purchasing price given this number.
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 6
Now review your company’s total assets for the most recent year. What percentage of total assets is current? Noncurrent?
Current Noncurrent
33.58% 49.02%
Should companies have a greater investment in current assets or noncurrent assets, or does it depend on the nature of their business? Explain your answer.
14

I think it depends on the nature of the business. If you are a company that manufactures some product you want to keep an eye on your fixed assets (the machines that make the product) because those are what is keeping your business flowing smoothly. However, in smaller businesses you will be much more focused on your current assets i.e. cash. Some businesses may not even have any fixed assets.
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 7
Review your company’s balance sheet. Does it report a deferred tax asset? A deferred tax liability? If so, are the deferred tax assets and/or liabilities reported as current or noncurrent?
Deferred tax asset? Yes Noncurrent
Deferred tax liability? Yes Noncurrent

Answer the following questions relative to the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet.
By what amount did retained earnings increase or decrease from the prior year?
$190,517
Was the increase or decrease in retained earnings equal to the company’s current year net income or net loss?
No*

Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 12
Identify the three major balance sheet accounts , for example accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory, etc. that changed the most from the prior year. What events might explain these changes? Working to explain why these changes occurred contributes to a greater understanding about a company.
Account Explanation
16

Example:
Account
Receivable
Example:
An increase in accounts receivable should coincide with an increase in sales, i.e., a 10% increase in sales would explain a 10% increase in accounts receivable. If accounts receivable are increasing and sales decreasing, the signal is unfavorable.
Inventory
Cash & Cash
Equivalents
Accounts
Receivable
The company expanded their property, plant and equipment asset on their balance sheet the most mainly because they purchased a large amount of new planes within the last year. The planes were necessary to be able to increase their business to their new target cities they will be flying to and from in the future.
The company saw an increase in cash due to the fact that they made a profit indicated by their income statement from last year (2011).
Accounts receivable has increased in the last year because sales for the company have increased. These numbers should be in line with one another for the majority of companies.

Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 14
Identify the three balance sheet groups from question 13 above that changed most significantly. Within each of these groups, identify the primary balance sheet element that drove this change. What events might explain these changes?
Group Name :
Current Assets
Explanation:
(Example – sales increased by 22%, thus accounts receivable increased by approximately 22%)
Net fixed assets increased by 18.4% from the prior year mainly because the company purchased a large amount of inventory in the current year.
Their noncurrent assets account has increased due to their additional inventory they purchased in the current year. Their long-term payments segment specifically increased to be able to pay for this purchase of revenue in a proper manner.
Other Equity
Components
Items such as accumulated income decreased from the prior year most likely due to their purchase of inventory and investment of other services to be able to eventually grow their business.

Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 15
Did your company become more or less liquid when comparing this year to last year?
Current Year: Prior Year:
Current Assets minus Current Liabilities = Current Assets minus Current Liabilities =
$10,711 $45,965
Explain why?
The company became less liquid in the current year because their accounts receivable and accounts payable went up within the last year. This means that some of their cash has been tied up with other entites at the moment. This was due to all of the recent purchases within the current year.
Chapter 3: Balance Sheet – Question 16
Did your company increase or decrease its financial leverage when comparing total debt to total stockholders’ equity from this year to last?
Current Year:

Chapter 3: Income Statement – Question 1
Review the heading of your company’s income statement. Does the company’s income statement provide two or three years of comparative information? (Insert number to the right.)
Why do you think the SEC requires that balance sheets provide two years of comparative financial information and income statements provide three years of comparative financial information?
The SEC requires three years on the Income Statement but only two on the Balance
Sheet because the balance sheet requires the numbers from the prior years income statement in order to produce the numbers it needs. For example, retained earnings needs the ending RE from the prior year in order to calculate the current year.

Chapter 3: Income Statement – Question 8
Identify the three income statement accounts/categories that changed the most in
Question 7. What events might explain these changes?
Account or
Category:
Operating
Expenses
Net Income
Explanation :
(Hint – the MD&A section will provide good information to answer this question.)
Operations have expanded by approximately 18.6% (measured in ASMs) in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to additional aircraft in our fleet (including aircraft that were only in operation for part of the year in 2010), as well as the introduction of the larger capacity Airbus A330-200 aircraft to our fleet
Net Income decreased largely in part to the company’s expenses incurred through purchase of new inventory and services.
22

Operating Income
(Loss)
They lost operating income within the past year partly due to rising prices for gasoline. It has increasingly become more difficult for companies in the airline industry to be able to afford rising gas prices whie maintaining competitive prices appealing to consumers.

Basic EPS
$(0.05)
$2.15
Diluted EPS
$(0.05)

Preceding year 2 $2.26
Why is diluted EPS always equal to or less than basic EPS?
$2.22
Because companies almost always have additional potential outstanding shares in the form of convertible securities and warrants.
Chapter 3: SCF – Question 1
Is the SCF dated in the title for a period of time similar to the income statement or for a point in time similar to the balance sheet? Why?
The SCF is dated similar to the Income Statement because that is the document that makes up the SCF.

Chapter 3: SCF – Question 4
Identify the primary cash outflows and inflows from investing activities.
136,451
Explain why net sales, net income and net operating cash flows are trending together or differently. (Hint: Look at depreciation expense and substantial changes in inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances. Explaining why is a key learning point.)
The reason why all three of these accounts are differing from one another is because there has been a significant increase in inventory purchased by the company in the last year or two. Also, accounts receivable and payable have increased dramatically within the last year which would explain the dysfunctional numbers between net sales and net income.
Description of Activity
Cash outflow: Property, Plant, and Equipment
Amount
(281,903)
Cash inflow: Sale of Short and Long-term Investment 141,410
Consider three key issues at this point. Is the company adding assets? This is a sign of growth. Is the company replacing assets? This is a sign of growth and stability. Is the company only selling assets? This is a sign of retrenchment.
24

1.
The company is adding assets in the form of new inventory (planes). This is shown on the BS with an increase in its inventory account.
2.
Yes, it is replacing its assets. In the MD&A it mentions that the company purchased new planes to replace some of their inventory that was becoming outdated.
3.
No, they both equally selling and adding their assets to improve their business through time.
Chapter 3: SCF – Question 5
Identify the primary cash inflow and outflow from financing activities.
Description of Activity
Cash inflow:
Amount
132,000
Cash outflow: (Note: cash dividends paid are reported here.) (80,023)
Consider two key issues at this point. How is the company being financed, through debt or equity? Can you determine which is growing faster and why? A sound corporate strategy is to finance a company with debt during stable times, because this demands regular payment of principal and interest, and to finance a company with equity during unstable times, because leadership can elect to pay or not pay dividends.
Since the company has been growing over the past few years, leads me to believe that they are being financed through debt.
Chapter 3: SSE – Question 1
Identify the elements that comprise the statement of stockholders’ equity section of your company. Hint: These items are generally illustrated across the top of the page using a columnar format. (Example. Common stock – shares and dollar amount.)

25

Chapter 3: SSE – Question 2
Identify the cash dividends per share.
Determine the dividend payout percentage. A company’s dividend payout percentage is computed by dividing dividend per common share by net income or earnings per common share.
(Hint: If your company reported a net loss for the year, the answer lacks meaning.)

Chapter 3: Notes to the Financial Statements – Question 1
How does your company define “cash and cash equivalents”?
The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Chapter 3: Notes to the Financial Statements – Question 2
How does your company value its “inventories”? Explain the meaning of the inventory valuation method. Are domestic and international inventories valued the same?
Service companies will typically not have inventory.
My company is a service company and therefore will not have this section listed in their report.

Amount reported in current year. $
106,663
Identify the amount of any significant write-down of goodwill that occurred during the current year. $ 0
How does management describe how it accounts for goodwill as disclosed in the note(s) to the financial statements?
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually using a “two-step process”.
Chapter 3: Notes to the Financial Statements – Question 7
Given present executive compensation packages, why would the user of financial information prefer a company follow SFAS #123(R) instead of APBO #25? Explain.
The fair value method (SFAS #123) is the preferred sum amount of compensation expense and allocates it over the compensation (vesting) period. Whereas the (older) intrinsic vale method (APBO #25) typically would not calculate a compensation cost because it values the plan at the grant date by excess fair value (market price) over.
Chapter 3: Notes to the Financial Statements – Question 8
Review your company’s lease note (and related balance sheet information), then identify the following amounts:
Minimum lease payments under operating leases
Minimum lease payments under capital leases
$86,507
$435
Ratio of operating lease payments to capital lease payments
198.86%
As a user of reported financial information, would you be concerned about a significant amount of operating leases that are not reported in the balance sheet? Explain.
Yes, because I would want to know how much they were spending on those leases whether they will be able to bring in enough revenue to pay them off along with producing my dividends I expect to receive at the end of the year.

N/A
N/A
29

Based on your review of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation (or accumulated postretirement benefit obligation), has your company sufficiently funded its employee benefit plans (this is known as funded status)?
No it has not based on its funded status as of December 31 (noted in the table on pg. 61).
An expected average return on invested plan assets is used to reduce the volatility in the reporting of pension or OPEB expense. Higher expected average returns reduce pension or OPEB expense, and lower expected returns increase pension expense. What rate of return on plan assets does your company use to compute pension or OPEB expense?
Does this appear reasonable, given present market conditions?
Rate employed? 3.80% Response: This appears reasonable given the tougher market conditions businesses have been facing in recent years.
Chapter 3: Notes to the Financial Statements – Question 11

Evaluate Profitability (Think about the corporate strategy in providing a response. Following are general guidelines, yet each company situation is unique. For a company with a growth strategic focus you will likely find increasing performance, above or below industry average. For a company with a stability strategic focus you will likely find stable performance, above or below industry average. For a company in a retrenchment strategic focus you will likely find poor performance, below industry average with efforts to improve and approach industry average. Note: Sales, operating income and operating cash flows should trend in approximately the same direction. This signals a stable operating business environment. If the three measures are not trending together, this signals lack of control by management.)
In my opinion, the company is moving in the right direction, however, they are behind industry averages in many categories and are losing net income. This shows that they are doing well getting revenue in passenger sales, but are having a hard time sending that money to their bottom line. This indicated that a lot of their revenue gets tied up in their fixed expenses. Management needs to find a better way to budget these fixed expenses so the company can take their success in sales revenue and bring that to net income.

Following are general guidelines, yet each company situation is unique. For a company with a growth strategic focus you will likely find stable or slightly decreasing liquidity, above or below industry average. Debt to equity often is increasing in a growing company. For a company with a stability strategic focus you will likely find stable liquidity, above or below industry average. Debt to equity often is stable as well. For a company with a retrenchment strategic focus you will likely find poor liquidity, below industry average with efforts to improve and approach industry liquidity. Debt to equity often is decreasing in a company during retrenchment.)
The company is in retrenchment based on the calculations above because the Debt to Equity ratio is decreasing signaling that the company is not being able to afford to pay off its debit that they owe as well as they have in the past.

The company based on these numbers has a poor and stable investment solvency, which is below industry average. These poor numbers are largely due to their poor net income. This goes back to the original problem I addressed above. The company has to find a way to send their revenues generated to the bottom line.

Chapter 5: Decision-making Process – Question 1
Based upon your review, do the numbers support the company’s explicit strategic focus: a growth, stability or retrenchment focus? Why or why not?
I believe that some of these numbers do not support the company’s focus of increasing growth for the future. In order for their company to be truly profitable long-term they have to start paying off their fixed assets, which I believe they will be able to do. Although their numbers for this year are down and below average, this is mainly because they have purchase some a large amount of new inventory (planes) that they have not put in service yet. Their hope is that once they get these new planes operational they will be able to increase their revenue and eventually cover their fixed costs.
Chapter 5: Decision-making Process – Question 2
Return to the first question in this project.
Chapter 1: Identify Why You Selected This Company—Question 1
A) What is/are your motivation(s) or interest(s) in selecting this company?
B) What question(s) are you seeking to answer?
You were asked to explain why you were investigating this company’s annual report. You have likely uncovered numerous pieces of information, some with conflicting insight. This may involve both financial and nonfinancial information. In addition, you may have found certain information to be incomplete for decision-making purposes. This is real world analysis. Most business decisions are made with as much reliable information as possible, yet common to the decision-maker is a desire for more information.
Prepare a thorough, yet concise answer to your original questions A and B above. For example, would you work for this company, why or why not? Support your response with the information gathered throughout your annual report study.
I wanted to look at Hawaiian Airlines from a financial perspective because I flew on their airline this past summer and was curious to see how profitable they were. By going through their annual report I realized that even though they didn’t have the best year in 2011, they seem to be a successful company that is continuing to expand into new markets to gain more customers and opportunities. In my opinion, I would work for this company because I do believe that it will turn around its below average performance from last year and eventually become profitable again like it was in 2009 and 2010. Their investment for the future (with the recent purchase of new AirBus and Boeing planes) has given me confidence that they believe they will continue to grow and thrive as a company in the airline travel business.

Chapter 5: Validate Your Conclusion – Question 1
The Altman Z-score is a predictive model created by Edward Altman in the 1960’s. The score combines and weights five financial ratios to estimate the likelihood of a company going bankrupt. The lower the Altman Z-score the higher the odds of bankruptcy. Research findings suggest the Z-score predicts 72 - 80% of corporate bankruptcies two years prior to the actual filing.

Z-score > than 3 = considered healthy

Z-score between 1.8 and 3 = considered a warning sign

Z-score < than 1.8 = could be headed for bankruptcy
Computing the Z-score for your company is very simple. Go to one of the Websites listed below and compute the Z-scores for the respective years identified below. Print out your results and turn them in with this workbook.

Z-score interpretation compared to the financial analysis. Does the Z-score agree or disagree with your analysis?
The Z-score actually predicts similar results to what I concluded. Given the score for the current year means the company is somewhat in danger but is still in good shape for the moment. As you can see, their Z-score for the current year is lower than their score from the previous year.
This indicates their drop in net income. So in conclusion, this score aligns with my analysis of their financial statements: they are in decent shape, but have done and hopefully will do better in the upcoming years. My prediction is that they will start to improve their income as they start to see the rewards of their new purchased inventory kick-in.
