Form E1 is the instrument that turns a single company's financial statement into a graded, structured row inside the national economic database — the same database from which macro-level sovereign decisions are later drawn.
Form E1 is a web-based financial data-intake form, built in PHP, addressed to a company's owner, finance officer, or authorised representative rather than the general public. It collects two things in a single pass: the company's identity and classification (legal form, ISIC sector, country, reporting year) and its core financial-statement figures for that year (sales, purchases, gross profit, expenses, net profit, total assets, and paid-up capital).
On submission, the form does not simply log the numbers — it runs them through an internal multi-ratio classification engine that grades the company across several financial dimensions, then writes both the raw figures and the resulting grades into a central company table shared across the economic database.
To build a bottom-up, company-level economic database — one graded record at a time — that becomes the evidence base from which sovereign economic and financial decisions are subsequently derived. Every submission is a single brick; the database is the wall; policy is what gets built on top of it.
Identify the company : The representative enters the company's name, email, phone, website, legal form, reporting year, ISIC sector code and country of operation.
Enter the financial statement : Paid-up capital, company ID, up to five product names, and the core income-statement and balance-sheet figures — sales, purchases, gross profit, G&A expenses, debit interest, other revenue, net profit, and total assets — are entered for the selected year.
Validate : Every numeric field is checked server-side to confirm it is a genuine number of a plausible length before anything is processed further; malformed entries are rejected with a field-specific message.
Classify : The validated figures are run through a chain of internal comparisons that derive intermediate ratios and assign the record a set of coded grades spanning profitability, return, expense structure, indebtedness and efficiency.
Deduplicate & store : The database is checked for an existing record with the same phone number and reporting year to prevent double-counting a company; if none exists, the raw data and its computed grades are inserted as one permanent row.
Confirm : The representative sees an on-screen confirmation that the submission was recorded — or a clear message if the record already exists or the write failed.
Two groups of fields, all required for a complete, gradeable submission.
| Field | What is entered |
|---|---|
| name | Legal company name |
| email / tel / site | Contact channels for the company |
| legal | Legal form: individual, partnership, shareholding, or listed company |
| year | The fiscal year the figures below belong to |
| sect | Economic sector, selected from a full ISIC-based activity list (agriculture through extraterritorial bodies) |
| country | Country where the company operates |
| pro | Up to five representative product or service names |
| idc | Company registration / tax ID |
| Field | What is entered | Note |
|---|---|---|
| cap | Paid-up capital | Numeric |
| n1 | Sales | Numeric |
| n2 | Purchases | Numeric |
| n9 | Gross profit | Sales minus purchases |
| n3 | General & administrative expenses | Including depreciation |
| n4 | Debit interest | Enter 0 if none |
| n5 | Other revenue | Enter 0 if none |
| n24 | Net profit | Numeric |
| n6 | Total fixed and current assets | Numeric |
Once a submission passes validation, the engine derives a set of intermediate figures from the statement (working profit, financing burden, asset coverage) and compares them across five dimensions. Each dimension is returned as a short code that places the company on a tier scale.
Net result relative to sales and assets.
Return generated relative to capital employed and financing cost.
Weight of administrative and financing expenses on revenue.
Exposure to debit interest relative to profit and assets.
How assets and costs convert into gross and net result.
