The economic statements are comprised of four reports, which are follows as:

• Income statement. Lists revenues, gains and expenses / losses incurred during accounting

period. This are commonly considered most significant financial statement because it represents

the entity's operating outcomes.

• Balance sheet. Lists the entity assets, equity and liabilities at the date of balance sheet, thus,

the data presented is at a certain point on time. The message format is structure so those sums of

all the assets are equal the sum of all the liabilities as well as equity. This is usually considered

second significant economic statement because it provides some information about capitalization

and liquidity of the organization.

• Cash flow statement. Indicate the inflow and outflow of funds that occur during reporting

time. This may provide helpful comparison with the profit and loss statement, particularly if

amount of recognized loss or gain does not reflects the cash flow which experienced by

enterprise. This statement might be presented to external parties when the economic statements

are issued.

• Retained earnings statement. It simply represents the changes in a equity during time of

reporting. The format of a report varies, however might include the purchase or sale of shares,

the payment of dividends, moreover changes are caused by recognized losses or gains. This is a

least use economic statement or is normally included only in package of audited financial

The very basic accounting formula maintains a logical basis for the double entry accounting.

The formula is:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity

Three elements of basic accounting formulas are:

• Asset: These are intangible and tangible assets of the company, for example money,

receivables, inventories or fixed assets.

• Commitments: These are company's obligations to compensate creditors, for example

payables, loans and accrued wages.

• Equity: These are funds received from the investors, and accumulated profit that have

also not been distribute to the investors.

For example

Investing a total of $ 11,000 to launch ASI in exchange, corporation issues 1,000 shares of

ordinary shares in total. (Shares have no nominal value or value.) The impact on corporation's

accounting equations is:

As you can see, the ASI's assets rose by $ 11,000 and shareholders' shares rose by same quantity.

As an outcome, accounting equations will also be in balance.

Accounting equations tell us that the ASI has asset of $ 11,000 and source of these assets was

shareholders. Alternatively, accounting equation tell us that a corporation has asset of $ 11,000

and only asset claim is shareholders (owners).

These transactions are recorded in Assets Account of the Fund and Joint Stocks of the

Shareholders. The general log record for transaction log is:

Part C

Fonterra uses this accounting equation in its economic statements for period. Fonterra deals with

the following sectors as a source of income:

1. Fonterra Brands - customer goods trade

2. NZMP Ingredient - Global Ingredient Trade

3. Fonterra international Dairy Trade - a supplier of dairy ingredients to a globally

traded market

4. Anchor food specialists

5. Fonterra Group - Manufacture - food processing as well as manufacturing operation.

6. Fonterra Milk Supply - collecting and distributing milk from farm

These show that milk production and consumer food processing are the two largest sources of

income.

D.

Looking at our normalized EBIT and core performances of our company, it has been seen that

the progress that has made by putting more milk for our farmers in higher value goods. Not much

as we needed, but some progress. The sales volume in FY18 decreased by 3%, but it’s promising

4
Fonterra

that larger share was completely sold in customer, food and advanced components - in our value-

added businesses where company get higher gross margins ("Financial Results", 2019).

Additional 121 million litters of milk equivalent and the slowdown in development observed in

FY18 was generally because of less butter, higher prices as well as more cream in the

Foodservice, and lack of performance of Fonterra New Zealand consumer company. Fonterra

businesses have grown in all other region with the strongest development in China. Higher

component prices led to an increase of $ 626 million in consumer and food service input costs.

Throughout our brand strength and pricing strategies, Fonterra have been capable to pass $ 551

million on these products at our product prices - although this was not a total amount, it was very

significant. Fonterra must always keep in mind our prices, that there is a limit to what clients and

customers are willing to compensate before seeking cheaper alternatives to dairies and other

sources of supply. The main obstacle was the payment of $ 232 million to Danone and $ 439

million to reduce our investment in Beingmate. The main long-term assets for Fonterra are direct

funds used in investments and short-term planned assets during the investment

G.

Yes, Fonterra accepts loans. They are accepted as commitments. The main loans received by the

Fonterra group are: Long-term debts taken from different organizations, long-term leasing

contracts concluded on their non-current assets

I.

According to recent surveys, it is not appropriate for an individual to invest in a phoner. The

reasons for this are as follows: The Northington Partners report shows that co-op's return on

capital was an average of 6% per year, less than the estimated value of 6.9 to 7.7% per year.

It also shows that value-added trade has returned 0.2% p.a. more than components, significantly

below 1.3% p.a. necessary to justify the increased risk. Northington Partners has been instructed

by Fonterra's Shareholders' Council to assess Fonterra's financial results since its inception.

The report was sent to shareholders by e-mail on the eve of the Lichfield Annual General

Meeting on Thursday. Council President Duncan Coull says the work was in response to an

increased level of commentary within the supply base, media, and broader financial community

regarding the perceived performance of the cooperative since its inception in 2001.

The Council has seen the benefits of gaining an independent and reliable view of actual

performance over the last 17 years based on the correct methodology and access to relevant

financial information.

“This report provides an overview of high-level results that is clear and accessible to all our

members. We believe this will be a useful input to the ongoing discussions about our

cooperative's ongoing development. "

The review focused only on one part of the total revenue earned by farmers - the return on equity

invested in Fonterra. Fonterra's role is much greater than this - as stated in the Fonterra

Constitution. "Fonterra exists to maximize the return on farmers through milk prices and

6
Fonterra

dividends, and the cooperative's separate performance is only one component of Fonterra's total

revenues. “Fonterra effectively operates two businesses. The price of milk received by its

farmers is a measure of global supply and demand for basic milk raw materials and the efficiency

of converting this milk into these ingredients, while share value is a measure of the success of a

cooperative in providing value over milk. "The evaluation clearly shows that Fonterra's financial

performance has been unsatisfactory." When it is considered a stand-alone investment, the

average returns generated by Fonterra since its inception are lower than the relevant benchmarks

and the Council's view is that the information in this report should inform the board of directors,

management and shareholders of a wider debate on the ongoing development of our cooperative

and, in particular, what can be done to ensure that interim revenue is at least an opportunity. The

cost of capital invested in the cooperative.

Answer 2

The influence proportion The Board intently screens the Group's influence proportion. The

primary proportions checked by the Board of Directors are: - Debt reimbursement. The rate of

profit for obligation is balanced dependent on the effect of working leases. Their computation

technique is

1. Working finances isolated by monetary net enthusiasm bearing obligation, and

2. Financial net enthusiasm bearing obligation separated by income before intrigue, duty,

deterioration and amortization (EBITDA) ("Fonterra announces FY18 Annual Results and

outlook for FY19", 2019).

Influence proportion: The adapting proportion is determined as the monetary net enthusiasm

bearing obligation separated by value in addition to financial net intrigue obligation. Value is

displayed in the announcement of budgetary position and does exclude supporting stores. The

equipping proportion starting at July 31, 2018 was 48.4% (July 31, 2017: 44.3%). The Group

isn't liable to remotely forced capital necessities. Liquidity chance Liquidity chance alludes to

the hazard that the Group will neglect to meet its money related commitments as they fall due.

The Group's way to deal with overseeing liquidity hazard is to guarantee that it has adequate

assets to reimburse obligations under ordinary conditions under typical and weight conditions

10
Fonterra

without causing unsatisfactory misfortunes or harming the Group's notoriety. The Group has an

approach set up to guarantee that it has adequate money or offices to meet its normal working

costs for at any rate 80 days, including reimbursement of monetary commitments. This prohibits

the potential impacts of extraordinary circumstances that can't be sensibly anticipated, for

example, cataclysmic events. For this situation, the save subsidize line is kept up, and as

expressed in the organization sanction, the organization can delay installment to the rancher's

investor if fundamental. The Group deals with its liquidity by holding money and attractive

securities, getting assets from an adequate number of submitted credit lines and the capacity to

close market positions ("Financial Results", 2019). Fonterra's financing instruments are explored

in any event once every year, which is one of the fundamental money related hazard the board

exercises attempted by the Group to guarantee appropriate development, because of the idea of

the Group's matter of fact. At the accounting report date, the Group's undrawn credits totaled

US$3.732 billion (July 31, 2017: US$3.811 billion). Liquidity and renegotiating dangers are

likewise overseen by guaranteeing that Fonterra can stay in the worldwide financing market. To

this end, Fonterra keeps up its obligation issuance program in some real markets and deals with

its association with global speculation.

Answer 3.

John Wilson's choice to leave as executive after the wellbeing alarm and to pull back from the

load up in November was surprising, however it was the right choice for John, Belinda and his

family. For over 20 years, John has made a significant commitment to the New Zealand dairy

industry. He worked eagerly in the interest of his buddies in cooperatives and guarded our

corners in customary exchange missions and arrangement talks the regions of science,

advancement and natural maintainability. Anticipating FY19, these adjustments in administration

11
Fonterra

give us motivation to evaluate our status as an agreeable. Our center business is the center

business. Be that as it may, we can generally improve, the time has come to refresh from

numerous points of view. We are intently checking the present portfolio and bearing of the

agreeable to comprehend what changes should be made to take care of business quicker,

diminish costs and give a higher profit for our capital venture. This incorporates evaluating the

majority of the helpful's ventures, significant resources and associations with our key and target

return on capital. We are as of now searching for all the picked interests in Bein in China. We

have decreased the quantity of board working gatherings to concentrate on directing, testing and

controlling senior supervisory crews. Thusly, they will assume greater liability for their every

day conveyance execution. Our conjecture of $6,675 per kg of Farmgate milk for the 2018/19

season is the third back to back year of rising milk costs ("Financial Results", 2019). This is

useful for ranchers and the provincial economy. Ranchers burn through 46 pennies for each

dollar they acquire. For our business, this implies a higher info cost in one more year, which is

reflected in our FY19 profit conjecture of 25-35 pennies. Focal point of 2019: Assessing the

business - We will reassess all speculations, real resources and organizations, including our

Benet venture; and guarantee that regardless they address the issues of the helpful today. This

will include an exhaustive examination of whether they straightforwardly bolster the

methodology, regardless of whether they accomplish the objective profit for capital, and whether

we can scale and include an incentive in the following a few years. 2. Ace the correct nuts and

bolts - We have started to manage unexecuted business. The whole helpful will expand its

monetary order, subsequently paying off past commitments and expanding return on capital. 3.

Guarantee progressively exact figures - The business will pursue genuine estimates and have a

reasonable perspective on potential chances and dangers. Our suspicions will likewise be

12
Fonterra

increasingly straightforward, so ranchers and unit holders know precisely where they are and can

settle on choices that suit them and their business ("Financial Results", 2019).
