From the table above, we have broken down Westpacs Balance Sheet into the three main sections (Assets, Liabilities and Equity Capital), in which we have identified and analyzed the main components under each sections. Assets: (Uses of Funds) For the past three years, we have identified that the main components of their assets were Loans, which included advances to customers and similar facilities, and Balance with the Reserve Bank of Fiji. (Highlighted in yellow) Loans made up an average of 69% of the Total Assets and Balance with the Reserve Bank of Fiji, an average of 21% for the last three years. The remaining 10% were allocated to: Cash and Liquid Assets

Accrued receivables and other assets Investment Securities Receivable due from other financial institutions Fixed assets

(Highlighted in Blue) Deposits and Borrowings made up an average of 67% of Total Liabilities for the last three years and Certificates of Deposits, on the other hand, an average of 28%. The remaining 5% were mainly from: Payables due to other financial institutions and Other borrowed funds and liabilities.

Equity Capital: Equity Capital for the bank was mainly from Retained Earnings which accounted for about 90% of the Equity Section. (Highlighted in Green). Issued and Paid Up or Assigned Capital was constant at 7% for the last three years and the remaining 3% was on General Reserves for credit losses.

Based on the table above are the analysis of the main changes in Westpacs Assets, Liabilities and Equities over the last three years. Using common-sized ratio to measure Asset Growth, we saw that from 2009 to 2010, total assets has increased by 4.12% and from 2010 to 2011 it increased further by 9.92%. However, there was a decline in total assets from 2011 to 2012 by 2.13%. This resulted from a decrease in the amount of balance with the Reserve Bank of Fiji. (Figures highlighted in Blue) For the Total Liabilities of the bank, we saw an increase from 2009 to 2010 by 2% as a result of more borrowings and deposit accounts by customers. From 2010 to 2011 it had increased significantly by 14% and there was a decrease from 2011 to 2012 by 4%.

Equity grew by 17% from 2009 to 2010 however; it continued to decrease in 2011 and 2012 by 12% and 11% respectively. This resulted from the decrease in the Retained Earnings amount for the two years.

Generated from the table above is the profitability of the bank for the last three years. It has been fluctuating from 2010 to 2012 that is 2.9% profit in 2010 to 2.34% in 2011 and increases again to 2.62% in 2012. The table below shows the Capital Adequacy for Westpac Bank for the last three years.

2012 143059 14.95%

Capital Adequacy indicates the sufficient level of Capital that Westpac Bank has to absorb all losses and to continue as a going concern. As you can see from the table above, the Capital Adequacy Ratio from 2009 to 2010 has increased substantially from 16% to 21%. This is a good sign because the bank has no problem in meeting any loss incurred during the period. However, the level of capital adequacy decreased in 2011 and 2012 from 18% to 15%. Although there is still adequate capital available, the bank will need to consider maintaining the level of capital adequacy at a certain level.
