study of financial institutions and instruments from where funds can be procured. ii The second approach relates finance to cash. iii The third approach views finance as being concerned with rising of funds and their effective utilization. 

Business finance can further be sub-classified into three categories:

BUSINESS FINANCE

SOLE-PROPRITORY FINANCE

Objective can be achieved by:

1. Profit Maximization, and 2. Wealth Maximization 1. Profit Maximization. Profit earning is the main aim of every economic Activity. A business being an economic institution must earn profit to Cover its costs and provide funds for growth. No business can survive without earning profit. Profit is a measure of efficiency of a business enterprise. Profits also serve as a protection against Risks which cannot be ensured. The accumulated profits enable a business to face risks like fall in prices, competition from other units, adverse government policies etc. thus, profit maximization is considered as the main objective of business. 2. Wealth Maximization. Wealth maximization is the appropriate objective of an enterprise. Financial theory asserts that wealth maximization is the single substitute for a stock holder’s utility. When the firm maximizes the stock holder’s wealth, the individual maximizing stock holders wealth the firm is operating consistently towards maximizing stock holders utility

1) Estimating Financial Requirements: The first task of a financial manager is to estimate short-term financial Requirements of his business. For this purpose he will prepare a financial Plan for present as well as for future. The amount required for purchasing fixed assets as well as needs of funds for working capital will have to be Ascertained. The estimations should be based on sound financial principles So that neither there are inadequate nor excess funds with the concern. The inadequacy of funds will adversely affect day to day working of the concern whereas excess funds may tempt a management to indulge in extravagant Spending or speculative activities.

2) Deciding capital Structure: It refers to the kind and proportion of different securities for raising funds. After deciding about the quantum of funds required it should be decided Which type of securities should be raised? It may be wise to finance fixed Assets through long term debts. If gestation period is longer, then share Capital may be most suitable. Long term funds should be employed to Finance working capital also, if not wholly then partially. Entirely depending Upon overdrafts and cash credits for meeting working capital needs may not Be suitable. A decision about various sources for funds should be linked to The cost of raising funds. If cost of raising funds is very high then such Sources may not be useful for long.

3) Selecting a Source of Funds: After preparing a capital structure, an appropriate source of finance is Selected. Various sources from which the finance may be raised, include: share capital, financial institution, commercial banks, public deposits, etc. if finances are needed for short periods then banks, public deposits and financial institutions may be appropriate; on the other hand, if long – term Finances are required then share capital and debentures may be useful. If the concern does not want to tie down assets as securities then public deposits May be a suitable source. If management does not want to dilute ownership Then debentures should be issued in preference to shares. The need, purpose, object and cost involved may be the factors influencing the selection of a Suitable source of financing.

4) Selecting a Pattern of Investment: The selection of an investment pattern is related to the use of funds. The funds will have to be spent HKBK DC

first on fixed assets and then an appropriate Portion will be retained for working capital. Even a various categories of Assets, a decision about the type of fixed or other assets will be essential. While selecting a plant and machinery, even different categories of them May be available. The decision making techniques such as Capital Budgeting, Opportunity Cost Analysis etc. May be applied in making decisions about capital expenditures. While spending on various assets, the Principle of safety, profitability and liquidity should not be ignored. A Balance should be struck even in these principles. One may not like to invest On a project which may be risky even though there may be more profits.

5) Proper Cash Management: it is also an important task of finance manager. He has to assess various cash Needs at different times and then make arrangements for arranging cash.

 Cash may be required to: a) Purchase of raw materials, b) Make payments to creditors,

c) Meet wage bills, and to meet day-to-day expenses. d)

 The usual sources of cash may be: a) Cash sales, b) Collection of debts, c) Short term arrangements with banks etc.

6) Implementing financial controls: An efficient system of financial management necessitates the use of various Control devices. Financial control devices generally used are: a) Return on investment, b) Budgetary control, c) Break even analysis, d) Cost control, e) Ratio analysis, f) Cost and internal audit.

7) Proper use of surpluses: The utilization of profits or surpluses is also an important factor in financial Management. A judicious use of surpluses is essential for expansion and Diversification plans and also in protecting the interests of shareholders. The plugging back of profits is the best policy for further financing but it cashes With the interests of shareholders. A balance should be struck in using funds for paying dividend and retaining earnings for financing expansion plans, etc. the market

value of shares will also be

influenced by declaration of Dividend and expected profitability in future.

 After preparation of the financial statements, one may be interested in knowing the position of an enterprise from different points of view. This can be done by analyzing the financial statement with the help of different tools of analysis such as ratio analysis, funds flow analysis, cash flow analysis, comparative statement analysis, etc. Here I have done financial analysis by ratios. In this process, a meaningful relationship is established between two or more accounting figures for comparison.

 Financial ratios are widely used for modeling purposes both by practitioners and researchers. The firm involves many interested parties, like the owners, management, personnel, customers, suppliers, competitors, regulatory agencies, and academics, each having their views in applying financial statement analysis in their evaluations. Practitioners use financial ratios, for instance, to forecast the future success of companies, while the researchers' main interest has been to develop models exploiting these ratios. Many distinct areas of research involving financial ratios can be discerned. Historically one can observe several major themes in the financial analysis literature. There is overlapping in the observable themes, and they do not necessarily coincide with what theoretically might be the best founded areas.

 Financial statements are those statements which provide information about profitability and financial position of a business. It includes two statements, i.e., profit & loss a/c or income statement and balance sheet or position statement.  The income statement presents the summary of the income earned and the expenses incurred during a financial year. Position statement presents the financial position of the business at the end of the year.

 Before understanding the meaning of analysis of financial statements, it is necessary to understand the meaning of ‗analysis’ and ‗financial statements‘.

 Analysis means establishing a meaningful relationship between various items of the two financial statements with each other in such a way that a conclusion is drawn. By financial statements, we mean two statements-

(1)Profit & loss a/c (2)Balance sheet.

These are prepared at the end of a given period of time. They are indicators of profitability and financial analysis of financial statements means establishing meaningful relationship between various items of the two financial statements, i.e., income statement and position statement

Parties interested in analysis of financial statements Analysis of financial statement has

become very significant due to widespread interest of various parties in the financial result of a business unit. The various persons interested in the analysis of financial statements are:-

 Short- term creditors: They are interested in knowing whether the amounts owing to them will be paid as and when fall due for HKBK DC

payment or not.

 Long –term creditors:  They are interested in knowing whether the principal amount and interest thereon will be paid on time or not.  Shareholders: 

They are interested in profitability, return and capital appreciation.

 Management : The management is interested in the financial position and performance of the enterprise as a whole and of its various divisions.  Trade unions : They are interested in financial statements for negotiating the wages or salaries or bonus agreement with management.

 Taxation authorities These authorities are interested in financial statements for determining the tax liability.

 RATIO ANALYSIS:Ratio Analysis enables the business owner/manager to spot trends in a business and to compare its performance and condition with the average performance of similar businesses in the same industry. To do this compare your ratios with the average of businesses similar to yours and compare your own ratios for several successive years, watching especially for any unfavorable trends that may be starting. Ratio analysis may provide the all-important early warning indications that allow you to solve your business problems before your business is destroyed by them. The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Income are HKBK DC

essential, but they are only the starting point for successful financial management. Apply Ratio Analysis to Financial Statements to analyze the success, failure, and progress of your business.

 Importance of financial statement analysis in an organization. In our money-oriented economy, Finance may be defined as provision of money at the time it is needed. To everyone responsible for provision of funds, it is problem of securing importance to so adjust his resources as to provide for a regular outflow of expenditure in face of an irregular inflow of income. 1. The profit and loss account (Income Statement). 2. The balance sheet In companies, these are the two statements that have been prescribed and their contents have been also been laid down by law in most countries including India. There has been increasing emphasis on (a) Giving information to the shareholder in such a manner as to enable them to grasp it easily.30 (b) Giving much more information e.g. funds flow statement, again with a view to facilitating easy understanding and to place a year results in perspective through comparison with post year results. (c) The directors report being quite comprehensive to cover the factors that have been operating and are likely to operate in the near future as regards to the various functions of production, marketing, finance, labour, government policies, environment in general. Financial statements are being made use of increasingly by parties like Bank, Governments, Institutions, and Financial Analysis etc. The statement should be sufficiently informative so as to serve as wide a curia as possible. The financial statement is prepared by accounts based on the activities that take place in production and non-production wings in a factory. The accounts convert activities in monetary terms to the help know the position.

PRECAUTATIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR USE OF RATIOS The calculation of ratios may not be difficult task but their use is not easy. The Information on which these are based, the constraints of financial statements, Objective for using them, the caliber of the analyst, etc. are important factors Which influence the use of ratios? Following effective factors which must be Kept in mind while interpreting various ratios:

Accuracy of financial statements: The ratios are calculated from the data available in financial statements. The reliability of ratios is linked to the accuracy of information in the statements. These statements should also be properly audited by competent auditors. The precautions will establish the reliability of data given in the financial statements.

Objective or purpose of analysis: the type of ratios to be calculated will depend upon the purpose for which these are required. If the purpose is to study current financial position then ratios relating to current assets and current liabilities will be studied. The purpose of ‘user’ is also important for the analysis of ratios. Creditors, a banker, an investor, a share holder, all have different objects for studying ratios.

Selection of ratios: another precaution in ratio analysis is the proper selection of appropriate ratios. The ratio should match the purpose for which these are required. Calculation of large number of ratios without determining their need in the present context may confuse the things instead of solving them. Only those ratios should be selected which can throw proper light on the matter to be discussed.

Use of standards: the ratios will give an indication of financial position only when discussed with reference to certain standards. Unless otherwise these ratios are compared with certain standards one will not be able to reach at conclusions.

Caliber of the analyst: the ratios are only the tools of analysis and their interpretation will depend upon the caliber and competence of the analyst. He should be familiar with various financial statements and the significance of changes etc. a wrong interpretation may create havoc for the concern since wrong conclusions may lead to wrong decisions. The utility of ratios is linked to the HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD.

17

expertise of the analyst.

Ratios provide only a base: the ratios are only guidelines for the analyst, he should not base his decisions entirely on them. He should study any other relevant information, situation in the concern, general economic concern, general economic environment, etc. before reaching final conclusions.

Functional classification or classification according to tests: This is the most widely accepted classification of accounting ratios. Under this classification, accounting ratios are classified on the basis of their nature or functions and in view of the financial management or according to the tests satisfied, various ratios have been classified as follows:

HKBK DC

 LIQUIDITY RATIOS: These are the ratios which measure the short-term solvency or financial position of a firm. These ratios are calculated to comment upon the short-term paying capacity of a concern or the firm’s ability to meets current obligations. The various liquidity ratios are: current ratio, liquid ratio and absolute liquid ratio. Further to see efficiency with which liquid resources have been employed by a firm, debtor’s turnover and creditor’s turnover ratios are calculated.

The principal liquidity ratios are:

 Current ratio or working capital ratio  liquid, Quick ratio, or acid test ratio  Absolute liquid ratio, cash ratio, or super quick ratio.

 CURRENT RATIO:

Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. This ratio, also known as working capital ratio, is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the analysis of a short-term financial position or liquidity of a firm. It is calculated by dividing the total of current assets by total of current liabilities.

 QUICK OR ACID TEST OR LIQUID RATIO: Quick ratio is that ratio which expresses the relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities. Quick/liquid ratio may be defined as the relationship between quick/liquid assts and current or liquid liabilities. An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short period of time. Current assets include inventories and prepaid expenses which are not easily convertible into cash, thus are excluded in liquid/quick/acid test ratio which is more rigorous test of liquidity.

 ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO OR CASH RATIO: Although receivables, debtors and bills receivable are generally more liquid than inventories, yet there may be doubts regarding their realization into cash immediately or in time. Hence, some authorities are of the opinion that the absolute liquid ratio should also be calculated together with current ratio and acid test ratio so as exclude even receivables from the current assets and find out the absolute liquid assets. Absolute liquid assets include cash in hand and at bank and marketable securities or temporary investments

 LONG-TERM SOLVENCY RATIO/LEVERAGE RATIO Leverage ratios are the ratios, which measure the relative interests of the owners and creditors in an enterprise. Long solvency ratios convey a firms ability to meet the interest costs and repayments schedules of its long term obligations.

The principal leverage, capital structure or solvency ratios:

 Long term Debt to shareholders fund (debt equity ratio).  Funded debt to total capitalisation ratio  Proprietary or equity ratio  Solvency ratio or Ratio total liabilities to total assets.  Fixed assets to net worth or proprietor’s funds ratio.  Fixed assets to long term funds or fixed assets ratio.  Ratio of current assets to proprietors funds HKBK DC

 LONG TERM DEBT TO SHAREHOLDERS FUNDS (DEBT EQUITY RATIO): Debt equity ratio also known as external- internal equity ratio is calculated to measure the relative claims of outsiders and the owners i.e. shareholders against the firm’s assets. This ratio indicates the relationship between the external equities or the outsider’s funds and the internal equities or the shareholders.

 FUNDED DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITALISATION RATIO: The ratio establishes a link between the long-term funds raised from outsiders and total long-term funds available in the business.

 PROPRIETORY RATIO OR EQUITY RATIO: The proprietary ratio which is also known as Equity Ratio or Share holders to Total Equities Ratio or Net worth to Total Assets Ratio. This ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders funds to total assets of the firm. The components of this ratio are Shareholders funds or Proprietors Funds and Total Assets. The shareholders funds are Equity Share Capital, Preference Share Capital, Undistributed profits, Reserves and Surpluses.

charges. Long-term creditors of a firm are interested in knowing the firms ability to pay interest on their long-term borrowings.

 ACTIVITY RATIOS Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources of a firm have been employed. These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being turned over into sales e.g. debtors turnover ratio.

 INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO: Inventory Turnover Ratio (I.T.R) indicates the number of times the stock has been turned over during the period and evaluates the efficiency with which a firm is able to manage its inventory.

 DEBTORS OR RECEIVABLE TURNOVER RATIO: Debtors/Receivables Turnover or Debtors Velocity Debtor’s turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of firm. In simple words, it indicates the number of times average debtors (receivables) are turned over during a year.

 Average Collection Period Ratio The average collection period represents the average number of days for which a firm has to wait before its receivables are converted into cash

 CREDITORS/PAYABLES TURNOVER RATIO: Creditor’s turnover ratio indicates the velocity of credit payment of firm. In simple words, it indicates the number of times average creditors (payables) are turned over during a year.

 Average Payment Period The average payment period represents the average number of days for which a firm has to wait before its payables HKBK DC

are converted into cash.

 WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO: Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilisation of net working capital. This ratio indicates the number of times the working capital is turned over in the course of a year. This ratio measures the efficiency with which the working capital is being used by a firm.

 FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO: Fixed assets turnover ratio is the ratio between fixed assets and turnover. Fixed assets, here, mean net fixed assets, i.e., fixed assets less depreciation. Turnover means net sales, i.e., total sales less sales returns. A fixed asset turnover ratio indicates the utilization of assets in generating sales.



TOTAL ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:

Total assets turnover ratio is the ratio between the total assets and turnover or sales (i.e., net sales).

 CAPITAL EMPLOYED TURNOVER RATIO: Capital employed turnover ratio is the ratio between sales (i.e., net sales) and capital (i.e., long-term funds, comprising owners’ funds and long-term borrowed funds) employed in the business

 PROFITABILITY RATIO Profitability ratio measures the results of business operations or overall performance and effectiveness of the firm. Profitability ratios are the ratios, which measure the profitability of a concern. In other words, they are the ratios, which reveal the total effect of the business transactions on the profit position of an enterprise, and indicate how far the enterprise has been successful in its aim. Profitability ratios may be classified into two categories. They are

HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD.

24

Profitability ratio in relation to sales:  Gross profit ratio  Net profit ratio  Operating ratio  Operating profit ratio

 GROSS PROFIT RATIO: It measures the relationship of gross profit to net sales and is usually represented as a percentage.

 OPERATING RATIO: Operating ratio establishes the relationship between cost of goods sold and other operating expenses on the one hand and sales on the other. In other words, it measures the cost of operations per rupee of sales

 Interpretation of Operating Ratio: Operating ratio indicates the percentage of net sales that is consumed by operating cost. Obviously, higher the operating ratio, the less favorable it is, because it would have a small margin (operating profit) to cover interest, income-tax, dividend and reserves. However, 75 to 85% may be considered to be a good ratio in case of a manufacturing undertaking.

 OPERATING PROFIT RATIO: Operating Profit = Net Sales – Operating Cost Or HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. = Net Sales – (Cost of Goods Sold+ Administrative and Office

25

expenses + Selling and Distributive Expenses)

 NET PROFIT RATIO: Net profit ratio establishes the relationship between net profit (after taxes) and sales, and indicates the efficiency of the management in manufacturing, selling, administrative and other activities of the firm.

 Profitability ratios in relation to investments:  Return on shareholders’ investment  Return on equity capital  Earnings per share  Return on capital employed

 RETURN ON SHAREHOLDERS INVESTMENT ON NET WORTH: Return on shareholders investment popularly known as ROI or return on share holder/proprietors funds is the relationship between net profits (after interest and tax) and the proprietor’s funds.

 RETURN ON EQUITY CAPITAL: In real sense, ordinarily shareholders are the real owners of the company. They assume the highest risk in the company; preference shareholders have a preference over ordinary shareholders in the payment of dividend as well as capital. Preference shareholders get a fixed rate of dividend irrespective of the quantum of profits of the company.

 EARNINGS PER SHARE (E.P.S): Earnings per share are a small variation of return on equity capital and are calculated by dividing the net profit after taxes and preference dividend by the total number of equity shares.

HKBK DC

 INTERPRETATION: Current ratio measures the firm’s short -term solvency. The standard norm for current ratio is (2:1). It is evident from the diagram that every year current liabilities are exceeding the current assets I.e. current liabilities are greater than the current assets which is not satisfactory. Therefore it can be calculated that the liquidity performance of the company is going down day by day.

 INTERPRETATION

The numerator of this ratio is the net sales for the year and the denominator is the Inventory balance at the end of the year. This ratio is deemed to reflect the efficient the management of inventories and vice versa. This statement need not be always true. A low level of inventory may cause a higher inventory turnover ratio. From the graph it is clear that the net sales are decreasing in 2010-2011 as compared with 2009-2010. So the inventory ratio is decreasing.

 INTERPRETATION The creditor‘s turnover ratio is an important tool as a firm can

reduce its requirement of current assets by relying on suppliers creditors.A low turnover ratio reflects liberal terms granted by suppliers, while a high turnover ratio shown that accounts are settled rapidly.

The graph above is showing that the creditors plot during both the years is exceeding the net purchases. So the creditors turnover ratio is below zero that is considered as nill. This indicates that creditors accounts are not setteled by the company rapidly and the company is going in loss.

 INTERPRETATION Operating margin gives analysts an idea of how much a company makes (before interest and taxes) on each dollar of sales. When looking at operating margin to determine the quality of a company, it is best to look at the change in operating margin over time and to compare the company's yearly or quarterly figures to those of its competitors. If a company's margin is increasing, it is earning more per dollar of sales. The higher the margin, the better For example, if a company has an operating margin of 12%, this means that it makes $0.12 (before interest and taxes) for every dollar of sales. Here the margin is very less and is going on decreasing so the company needs to increase their operating incomes as well as their net sales.

 RECOMMENDATIONS, SUGGESTIONS

After analyzing the overall performance of the present and past years working, a few short comings have came to notice. The company is not doing well overall, more care should be taken about same of the aspects of working capital will add to the profitability of the company. A efficient management of all the aspects of working capital provides a financial defense against stiff competition in the market and enhances the credit worthiness of the firm, enables the management to operate efficiently and flexible and allows the firm to take advantage of special favorable opportunities. Keeping this view, the following recommendations are put forth after a detailed study was made: 1. The company can make an attempt to increase the sales by increasing advertisement and adding more distribution network.

2. Investment of excess cash balance in fixed deposit accounts in bank will yield better returns and also the liquidity position of the company will not be harmed.

3. However the sales of the company decreased from last 4 years. The company cannot follow a tight credit policy or restricting credit. Though, the company can make an attempt to bringing down the average collection period which has greatly exceeded by the warranted credit period.

4. The company can contribute towards better turnover figures if its marketing and distribution network is strengthened.

5. Operating profit is increased but the total income is decrease from last 4 years so other expenses can be reduced overcome this problem.

6. Better to invest in Fixed assets when there is more than sufficient capital

HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD.

73

7. The company must take certain precautions to reduce the operating Expenses.

8. The credit purchase period is more in purchasing the raw materials so reduce the credit purchase. 9. Return on Investment is very less when compare to previous year so Take some decisions to increase the returns.

 CONCLUSION

 Ratios make the related information comparable. A single figure by itself has no meaning, but when expressed in terms of a related figure, it yields significant interferences. Thus, ratios are relative figures reflecting the relationship between related variables. Their use as tools of financial analysis involves their comparison as single ratios, like absolute figures, are not of much use.

 Ratio analysis has a major significance in analyzing the financial performance of a company over a period of time. Decisions affecting product prices, per unit costs, volume or efficiency have an impact on the profit margin or turnover ratios of a company.  Financial ratios are essentially concerned with the identification of significant accounting data relationships, which give the decision-maker insights into the financial performance of a company.  The analysis of financial statements is a process of evaluating the relationship between component parts of financial statements to obtain a better understanding of the firm‘s position and performance.  The first task of financial analyst is to select the information relevant to the decision under consideration from the total information contained in the financial statements. HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD.

74

The second step is to arrange the information in a way to highlight significant relationships. The final step is interpretation and drawing of inferences and conclusions. In brief, financial analysis is the process of selection, relation and evaluation.  Ratio analysis in view of its several limitations should be considered only as a tool for analysis rather than as an end in itself. The reliability and significance attached to ratios will largely hinge upon the quality of data on which they are based. They are as good or as bad as the data itself. Nevertheless, they are an important tool of financial analysis.
