ANALYSIS
The potential 12 fields could be considered as question marks.
If these 12 turn out to be unsuccessful then it will be a dog & a decision has to be taken whether to kill or not.
Current 3 fields are cash cows.
Potential fields with good reserves can be stars.
This is a highly capital intensive industry & it is normal to have a high debt to equity ratio.
At the time the loan was taken in 2008, it was the time of the sub-prime crisis or the credit crunch.
At this time no one was willing to lend.
11% of interest rate is high & this may be due to the risk of lending was high at that moment.
YJ could consider in taking out another loan to settle this current loan, but early settlements could have penalties.
The current loan matures in 2018.
Investors currently happy with YJ’s performance.
The oil & gas industry is completely a suppliers game to play with prices.
OPEC controls the supply & demand.
The new CEO has a different vision & mission compared to the previous CEO.
He wants faster growth.
Previous CEO Inspirational & YJ’s success was due to the team he recruited.
Change management can come in the exam.
But CFO has concerns regarding lack of funds.
There seems to be a board dispute.
Board disputes can be no.1 issues at the exam.
YJ will have macro issues such as changes in oil prices, ex.rate & interest rate.
It’s normally good for directors to hold shares in a company y because, they will want the share price to appreciate & such appreciation will require the company to perform well.
YJ deals with multiple currencies such as $, £, Asian & African currencies.
YJ is exposed to Transaction, Translation risks. But very less to Economic risks. That is because most companies in the E&P sector deal with USD when receiving income & the customers will have very little to choose which supplier is the cheapest.

    The financial crisis of 2008 is considered by many economists to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. First signs of the crisis started to show in 2007 when the price of houses started to fall rapidly in the United States and then around the world. This financial crisis resulted in the failure of many large US financial institutions, banks to be bailout by the United States government, and the stock markets around the world were affected. One of the major issues leading to the financial crisis was the rising default on subprime lending. Large financial institutions were in completion with each other for revenue and market share,…

    All three companies also have high debt to equity ratios compared to all industries in general but companies in this sector tend to have higher debt to equity ratios. This usually means that the companies are trying to finance their growth by issuing new debt. This would make sense with the industry that they are in. A lot of their debt is related to accounts payable, which they are most likely using to build up their inventories. Even though they all have large amounts of debt, it is mostly debt that is a result of their inventory.…

    When the U.S. economy began to melt down in 2007 and entered a rapid period of decline in 2008, all eyes were fixed on the subprime mortgage crisis. Though the mortgage crisis, triggered by spurious lending practices and unprecedented risky investment bank practices, was undoubtedly the dominant factor affecting the American consumer in 2008, credit card debt and default was also making a contribution to the deteriorating economy and collapsing standard of living. As the subprime mortgage crisis accelerated, the increasing number of people falling behind on payments or defaulting on credit card debt…

    2008 Recession

    The downfall that many if not all bank and lending institutions faced, catapulted the economy dramatically. The previous lending habits of these institutions show a direct correlation with the credit bubble that occurred from 2001 until 2007. The results of these lending habits were experienced not only in the United States, but worldwide issues began to surface. Though, many believe that the final factor may have been the “bursting” of the U.S housing bubble. The housing “burst” causing many individuals to default on their mortgages. The National Bureau of Economic Research stated that, “while large on an absolute scale, are modest relative to the $8 trillion lost in U.S. stock market wealth between October 2007 and October 2008” ("The National Bureau of Economic Research"). Additionally, In Deciphering the Liquidity and Credit Crunch 2007-2008 (NBER Working Paper No.14612), Markus Brunnermeier describes how those lesser and larger losses were linked and shows how economic mechanisms amplified losses in the mortgage market into broad dislocation and turmoil in the financial market” (Brunnermeier,2009,pp 77-100). Yes, the depression did in fact begin in 2008, however, the actions that occurred in the aforementioned time period were notable confounding influences on the depression of 2008. Other causation factors include the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Yes, this financial institution is based in the United Stated, yet their demise, as The Economist indicated that, “ In September 2008 almost brought down the world’s financial system” ("The Economist", 2013). The saving grace for Lehman Brothers, was that they were to “large” to fail. The monetary and fiscal abilities of the United States tax payers prevented the less than favorable quote “buddy-can-you-spare-a-dime” depression” ("The Economist", 2013). The United States practices further…
