Case Specific Questions
1. What can the historical income statements (case Exhibit 1) and balance sheets (case Exhibit 2) tell you about the financial health
and current condition of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc.? (Briefly consider the structure and relationship of the financial statements.
Does management have any discretion over how the accounts are estimated?)
2. How can financial ratios extend your understanding of the financial statements? What questions do the time series (trend) of ratios
in case Exhibit 7 raise? What questions do the ratios on peer firms (comparables) in case Exhibits 8 and 9 raise? Which of the
comparable firms is truly a peer?
3. Based on both the financial statements and the ratios, evaluate the financial health of KKD as of the year-end 2004. Be sure to
address the firm's liquidity, leverage, activity, and profitability.
4. In light of your answer to question 3, what accounts for the firm's recent share price decline in 2004? To quote from the concluding
paragraph in the case: "Were the revelations about the company's franchise accounting practices sufficient to drive that much value out
of the stock? Were there deeper issues at Krispy Kreme that deserved scrutiny?"
5. What is the source of intrinsic investment value in this company? Does this source appear on the financial statements? (Hint:
Compare the perspectives of finance and accounting.)
6. Prepare a brief epilogue for this case.
What have been the developments since 2004?
