Chapter 3 Analysis of Financial statements-An overview 3.1 MEANING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS According to Himpton John, “ A financial statement is an organized collection of data according to logical & consistent accounting procedures. Its purpose is to convey an understanding of some financial aspects of a business firm. It may show a position at a moment of time as in the case of balance sheet, or may reveal a series of activities over a given period of time, as in the case of an income statement”. On the basis of the information provided in the financial statements, management makes review of the progress of the company and decides the future course of action. The term financial statements refers to two basic statements: (i)

The income statement and (ii) the Balance Sheet. Of course, a business

may also prepare (iii) Statement of Retained earnings, and (iv) a statement of change in financial Position. 3.2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3.2.1 Income Statement: The income statement or profit & loss account is considered as a very useful statement of all financial statements. It depicts the expanses incurred on production, sales and distribution and sales revenue and the net profit or loss for particular period. It shows whether the operations of the firm resulted in profit or loss at the end of a particular period. 3.2.2 Balance Sheet: Accounting Standards Board, India has defined balance sheets as, “ a statement of financial position of an enterprise as at a given date which exhibits its assets, liabilities, capital reserves and other account balances at their respective book values”. Balance sheet is a statement, which shows the financial position of a business as on a particular date. It represents the assets owned by the business and the claims of the owners and creditors against the assets in the form of liabilities as on the date of statement. According to Harry G. Guthmann, “ the balance sheets might be described as financial cross section taken at certain 14

intervals and earning statements as condensed history of the growth and decay between the cross sections”. 3.2.3 Statement of Retained Earnings: The statement of retained earnings is also called profit & loss appropriation account. It is a link between income statement & balance sheet. Retained earnings are the accumulated excess of earnings over losses and dividends. The balance shown by the income statements is transferred to the balance sheet through this statement after making the necessary appropriations. 3.2.4 Fund Flow Statement: According to Anthony,” The funds Flow Statement described the sources from which the additional funds were derived and the use to which these funds were put”. Funds flow statements help the financial analyst in having amore detailed analysis and understanding the changes in the distribution of resources between two balance sheet periods. The statement reveals the sources of funds and their application for different purposes. 3.2.5 Cash Flow Statements: A cash flow statement depicts the changes in cash position from one period to another. It shows the inflow and outflow of cash and helps the management in making plans for immediate future. An estimated cash flow statement enables the management to ascertain the availability of cash to meet business obligations. This statement is useful for short term planning by management. 3.2.6 Schedules & Note to Financial Statements: Schedules are the statements, which explains the items given in the income statement and balance sheet. Schedules are a part of financial statement, which give detailed information about the financial position of a business organisation. Certain notes are often used to supplement the information comprised in basic financial statements. These are virtually a part of financial statements. 3.2.7 Annual Reports / Corporate reports: Apart from the financial statements annual report contains other relevant information such as Management discussion & 15

analysis, Reports on corporate Governance, Director’s report, details of the subsidiary companies. These reports play as important role as financial statements of the company in understanding of the complete financial position. 3.3 NATURE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS According to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, financial statements reflect “ a combination of recorded facts, accounting conventions and personal judgments and conventions applied affect them materially”. It means that data presented in financial statements is affected by recorded facts, accounting concepts & conventions and personal judgments. a) Recorded facts: The term-recorded facts refer to the figures, which are shown in the book of accounts. The figures, which are not recorded in the books, are not depicted in financial statements, no matter how important or unimportant those facts are. b) Accounting policies, Assumptions, concepts & conventions: Accounting policies encompasses the principles, bases, conventions, rules and procedures adopted by in preparing and presenting financial statements. Accounting policies of the organisation are consistently followed over along period of time and are reported as schedule to financial statements or as notes to financial statements in the annual report. As per accounting standards Board, India, fundamental accounting assumptions mean “ basic accounting assumptions which underline the preparation & presentation of financial statements. Usually, they are not specifically stated because their acceptance and use are assumed. Disclosure is necessary if they are not followed”. Some fundamental accounting assumptions are Going concern concept, consistency, accrual etc. Accounting concepts are basic framework on the basis of which accounting work is carried out. Some accounting concepts are Business entity concept, Money measurement concept, going concern concept, cost concept, matching concept, Dual aspect concept etc. 16

Accounting conventions are the principles, which enjoy the sanctity of application on account of long usage, are termed as accounting conventions. E.g. consistency, conservatism, materiality, full disclosure. c) Personal Judgments: Personal judgments of the accountant are of importance despite of properly laid down concepts, conventions, policies and assumptions. The judgment needs to be exercised in proper classification of assets, classification of expenditure into capital & revenue, creation of provisions and reserves. 3.4 LIMITATIONS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS i)

Financial statements disclose only monetary facts. There are certain assets and liabilities, which are not disclosed in the balance sheets. For example the most tangible assets of the company is its management force and its dissatisfied labor force is its liability which are not disclosed in the balance sheet.

ii) The financial statements are generally prepared with from the point of view of shareholders and their use is limited in the decision making by the management, investors and creditors. iii) An investor likes to analyze the present and future prospects of the business while the balance sheet show the past position. As such the use of balance sheet is limited. iv) Even the audited financial statement does not provide complete accuracy. v) The net income is the result of personal judgment and bias of accountants cannot be removed in the matters of depreciation and stock valuation. . vi) Profit arrived at by profit & loss account is interim in nature. Actual profits can be ascertained only after the firm achieves the maximum capacity. vii) The profit & loss account does not disclose the factors like quality of product and efficiency of management.

17

viii) The accounting year may be fixed to show a favorable picture of business. In case of sugar industry a balance sheet prepared in off-season depicts a better liquidity than in the crushing season. 3.5 VARIOUS TECHNIQUES OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 3.5.1

Comparative Financial Statements: Comparative financial statements are statements of financial position of a business designed to provide time perspective to the to the consideration of various elements of financial position embodied in such statements. Comparative statements reveal the following: (i) Absolute data (Money value or rupee amounts) (ii) Increase or reduction in absolute data (in terms of money values) (iii) Increase or reduction in absolute data (in terms of percentage) (iv) Comparison (in terms of ratios) (v) Percentage of totals Comparative balance sheets, comparative income statements and comparative statements of changes in financial position can be prepared. American Institute of Certified Public accountants have explained the utility of preparing the comparative statements, thus:

“ The presentation of comparative statements is annual and other reports enhance the usefulness of such reports and brings out more clearly the nature and trend of current changes affecting the enterprise. Such presentation emphasis the fact that statements for a series of period are far more significant that those of a single period and that the accounts of one period are but an installment of what is essentially a continuous history. In any one year, it is ordinarily desired that the balance sheet, the Income statement and the surplus statement be given for one or more preceding years as well as for the current years”. 3.5.2

Common size Statements: The figures shown in financial statements viz. Profit & loss account and balance sheet are converted to percentages so as to establish each element to the total figure of the statement and theses statement are called common size statements. These statements are useful in analysis of the performance of the company by analyzing each individual element to the 18

total figure of the statement. Theses statements will also assist in analyzing the performance over years and also with the figures of the competitive firm in the industry for making analysis of relative efficiency. 3.5.3

Trend Analysis: In trend analysis ratios different items are calculated for various periods for comparison purposes. Trend analysis can be done by trend percentages, trend ratios and graphic and diagrammatic representation. The trend analysis is a simple technique and does not involve tedious calculations. However, comparisons would be meaningful only when accounting policies are uniform and price level changes do not present a distorted picture of phenomenon. The trend analysis conveys a better understanding of management’s philosophies, policies and motivations, which have bought about the changes revealed over the years. Thus method is a useful analytical device for the management since by substitution of percentages for large amounts, the brevity and readability are achieved. However trend percentages are not calculated only for major items since the purpose is to highlight important changes.

3.5.4 Fund flow analysis: Fund Flow Statement: Fund flow analysis reveals the changes in working capital position. Working capital is of paramount importance in any business so this kind of a analysis proves to be very useful. According to Anthony,” The funds Flow Statement described the sources from which the additional funds were derived and the use to which these funds were put”. Funds flow statements help the financial analyst in having amore detailed analysis and understanding the changes in the distribution of resources between two balance sheet periods. The statement reveals the sources of funds and their application for different purposes. Fund flow analysis has become an important tool for any financial analyst; credit granting institutions and financial managers.

19

3.5.5 Cash Flow Analysis: A cash flow statement depicts the changes in cash position from one period to another. It shows the inflow and outflow of cash and helps the management in making plans for immediate future. An estimated cash flow statement enables the management to ascertain the availability of cash to meet business obligations. This statement is useful for short term planning by management. 3.5.6 Ratio Analysis: Ratio analysis is very important analytical tool to measure performance of an organisation .The ratio analysis concentrates on the interrelationship among the figures appearing in the financial statements. The ratio analysis helps the management to analyze the past performance of the firm and to make further projections. Ratio analysis allows interested parties like shareholders, investors, creditors, government and analysts to make an evaluation of certain aspects of firm’s performance. It is a process of comparison of one figure against another, which make a ratio, and the appraisal of the ratios to make proper analysis about the strength and weakness of firm’s operations. This tool of financial has been discussed in detail in next chapter. 3.5.7 Value Added Analysis: ‘Value Added’ is a basic and important measurement to judge the performance of an enterprise. It indicates the net value or wealth created by the manufacturer during a specified period. No enterprise can survive or grow if it fails to generate wealth. An enterprise can survive without making profits but cannot survive without adding value. ‘Value added’ is described as “ the wealth created by the reporting entity by its own and its employees’ efforts and comprises salary, wages, fringe benefits, interest, dividend, tax, depreciation and net profit (Retained). Value added is the increase in the market value brought by an alteration in the form, location or availability of a product or service excluding the cost of bought in material or services used in that product or service. To carry out the Value added analysis, a typical statement of added value is prepared as routine

20

part of management information system. The value added statement is basically rearrangement of information given in income statement. 3.6 Types of Financial Analysis (i) On the basis of Material Used: The analysis can be of following types: (a) Internal Analysis: It indicates the analysis carried out by those parties who have the access to the book and records of the company. Naturally, it indicates basically the analysis carried out by management of the company to enable the decision making process. This may also indicate the analysis carried out in legal or statutory matters where the parties which are not a part of management of the company may have the access to the books and records of the company. (b) External Analysis: It indicates the analysis carried out by those parties who do not have the access the books an\d records of the company. This may involve the analysis carried out by creditors, prospective investors, and other outsiders. Naturally, those outsiders are required to depend upon the published financial statements. As such, the depth & correctness of the external analysis is restricted, though some of the recent amendments of the statutes like Companies Act, 1956 have made it mandatory for the companies to reveal maximum information relating to the operations & financial position, in order to facilitate the correct & proper analysis & interpretation of the Financial statements by the readers. (ii) On the basis of Modus Operandi: The analysis can be of following types: (a) Horizontal Analysis: The horizontal analysis consists of the study of the behavior of each of the item in the financial statement- that is, its increase & decrease with the passage if time. It is also known as dynamic type of analysis since it shows the changes, which have taken palace. The comparison of the items is made across the year, , the eyes look at the comparative analysis is at the horizontal level , hence the analysis id termed as horizontal analysis. 21

(b) Vertical Analysis:

In vertical analysis a study is made of the

quantitative relationship between he various items in the financial statements on a particular date. It’s a static type of analysis or study of position. Such an analysis is useful in comparing the performance of several companies in the same group or divisions or department in the same company. Since this analysis depends on the data for one period, this is not very conducive to a proper analysis of the company’s financial position. It is also called ‘ Static’ analysis as it is frequently used for referring to ratio developed on the date or for one accounting period. Analysis can be done both horizontally and vertically. As a matter of fact one type of analysis is incomplete in itself. Both are complementary to each other. Both these analysis form the backbone of the technique of financial statement analysis.

Chapter 4 Ratio Analysis – An overview 4.1 DEFINITION The term ratio implies arithmetical relationship between two related figures. The technique of ‘Ratio Analysis’ as technique for interpretation of financial statements deals with the computation of various ratios, by grouping or regrouping the various figures and/or information appearing on the financial statements (either profitability statements or balance sheet or both) with the intention to draw the fruitful conclusion thereform. Ratios, depending on the nature of ratio, may be expressed in either of the following ways: (a) Percentage for example, Net Profit as 10% of Sales (b) Fractions for example, retained earnings as 1/3 rd of share capital (c) Stated comparison between numbers for example, Current assets as twice the current liabilities. The ratio can be defined as the qualitative or mathematical relationship that persists between two similar variables. In other words it is the precise relationship between two comparative variables in terms of quantitative figures (either in percentage or proportion). Comparative variable should have the same unit of measurement. This technique is based on the premise that a single accounting figure by itself does not communicate any meaningful information but expressed as a relative to some other figure. It may definitely give some significant information. 4.2 CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS Ratios are classified into different categories depending upon the basis of classification. 1.

The above classification can be put as under also: (a) Financial ratios: Ratios which are derived from comparisons of balance sheet items, or of balance \sheet items with profit & loss items are known as financial ratios. (b) Operating ratios: Ratios, which are derived from comparisons of items of income & expanse, are termed as operating ratios. 2.

(a) Operating Ratio: The ratio of all operating expanses (i.e. material used, labor, factory overheads, administration & selling expanses) to sales is the operating ratio. A comparison of the operating ratio would indicate whether the cost content is high or low in the figure of sales. If an annual comparison show that the sales has increased the management would be naturally interested & concerned to know as to which element of the cost has gone up. It is not necessary that the management should be concerned only when the operating ratio goes up. If the operating ratio has fallen, through the unit selling price has remained the same. Still the position needs analysis, as it may be the some total of efficiency in certain departments & in efficiency in others. A dynamic management should be interested in making a complete analysis. Significance: The ratio is the test of operational efficiency with which the business being carried. The operating ratio should be low enough to leave a portion of sales to give affair return to investors. A comparison of operating ratio will indicate whether the cost component is high or low in the figure of sales. In case the comparison shows that there is increase in this ratio, the reason for such increase should be found out & management be advised to check the increase. (b) Net Profit ratio: Net profit ratio relates net profit to net sales. Net profit is “the excess of revenue over expanses during a particular accounting period”. It is the net result of the working of a company during a period. The ratio may be computed on the basis of net profit after tax or before tax or both. Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit x 100 Net Sales This ratio could be compared with that of the previous years and with that of competitors to determine the trend in Net profit Margins of the company & its performance in the industry. This measure will depict the correct trend of performance where there are erratic fluctuations in the tax provisions from year to year. It is to be observed that majority of the cost debited to the profit & loss account are fixed in nature & many increase in sales will cause the cost per unit to

26

decline because of the spread of same fixed cost over the increased number of units sold. Significance: This ratio help in determining the efficiency with which affairs of the business are being managed. An increase in the ratio over the previous period indicates the improvement in the operational efficiency of the business provided the gross profit ratio is constant. The ratio is thus an effective measure to check the probability of business. ( c) ROI (Return on Investment): The main objective of a business enterprise is to earn a return on capital employed. The rate of return on investment is determined by dividing net profit or income by the capital employed or investment made to achieve the profit. Capital employed includes all the long-term funds in the balance sheet that is shareholders’ funds plus long-term loans plus miscellaneous long-term funds. The ROI is calculated as: ROI = Net profit before Interest & taxes Capital Employed Return on investment analysis provides a strong incentive for optimal utilization of the assets of the company. This encourages managers to obtain assets that will provide a satisfactory return on investment and to dispose of assets that are not providing an acceptable return. Thus ROI provides a suitable measure for assessment of profitability of each proposal. Significance: The return on Capital Employed invested is a concept that measures the profit, which a firm earns on investing a unit of capital. ‘Yield on capital’ is another term employed to present the same concept. It is advised to ascertain it periodically. The profit being the net result of all the operations, the return on capital expresses all efficiencies or inefficiencies of the business collectively and thus is a dependable basis for judging its overall efficiency or inefficiency. The business can survive only when the return on capital employed is more than the cost of capital employed in the business.

27

II. Turnover Ratios: Turnover ratios are used to measure the effectiveness of the employment of resources are termed as activity ratios. Since they relate to the use of assets for generation of income through turnover, they are known as turnover ratios. How many times the assets turnover during business operations – is to be measured by these ratios. The greater the rotation of assets to generate sales, the better it is for the business. The business would be more profitable if greater turnover is achieved with lesser use of funds. Hence it is an indirect measure of profitability. More efficient the operations of an undertaking, the quicker and more number of times the rotation is. The rate of rotation of capital employed is a significant contributor of to the profitability of an enterprise. (a) Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio: This measures the company’s ability to generate sales revenue in relation to fixed asset investment. In other words it indicates the extent to which the investment in fixed assets contribute towards sales. A low asset turnover may be remedied by increasing sales or by disposing of certain assets or both. This is a difficult set of ratios to interpret as asset values are based on historic cost. An increase in the fixed asset figure may result from the replacement of an asset at an increased price. Or the purchase of an additional asset intended to increase production capacity. The later transaction might be expected to result in increased sales whereas the former would more probably be reflected in reduced operating cost. It is calculated as: Fixed Assets Turnover = Net Sales Fixed Assets Significance: A high fixed asset turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organisation to achieve maximum sales with minimum investment in fixed assets. It in indicates that the fixed assets are turned over in the form of sales more number of times. So higher the fixed asset turnover ratio better will be the situation.

28

(b) Current Asset Turnover Ratio: The way fixed asset turnover ratio is calculated, similarly Current Assets turnover Ratio is computed, since the total assets can be divided into two major parts- fixed assets & current assets. Current assets are composed of broadly Receivables (Debtors + B/R), stock and cash. The turnover of even these three can be calculated separately to analyze which part of the working capital or current assets is efficiently put to operations and which part not. Net sales includes sales after returns, if any, both cash as well as credit. Current asset ratio is calculated as: Current asset Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Current Assets Significance: A high current Asset turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organization to achieve minimum sales with the minimum investment in current assets. It indicates that the current assets are turned over in the form of sales more number of times. As such higher the current asset turnover ratio better will be the situation. (c) Working Capital Turnover Ratio: Working Capital turnover ratio indicates the extent of working capital turned over in achieving sales of the firm. It tells the management of the oraganisation that to what extent the working capital funds have been fruitfully employed in the business towards sales. The decline in the number of times of working capital turnover means that either the working capital is in excess of the requirements or there have been operational inefficiencies. It is calculated as: Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Net Sales Working Capital Significance: A high working capital turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organisation to achieve maximum sales with the minimum investment in working

29

capital. It indicates that working capital is turned over in the form of sales more number of times. As such, higher the ratio, better will be the situation. (d) Capital Turnover Ratio: Capital turnover ratio indicates, efficiency in utilization of capital employed in generating revenue. This ratio indicates the efficiency with which the capital employed is being utilized. It is calculated as: Capital turnover Ratio = Sales Capital Employed

Significance: As this ratio the management of the organisation about the efficiency or inefficiency in the utilization of capital, a high capital turnover indicates the capacity of the organisation to achieve maximum sales with minimum amount of capital employed. It indicates that the capital employed is turned over in the form of sales more number of times. As such higher the capital turnover ratio, better will be the situation. III. Solvency Ratio: (i) Long term Solvency Ratios: The long-term financial stability of the firm may be considered dependent upon its ability to meet all its liabilities, including those not currently payable. The ratios which are important in measuring the long term solvency are: (a) Debt Equity Ratio: The debt-equity ratio is determined to ascertain the soundness of the long-term financial policies of the company. It is also known as “External-Internal” Equity ratio. The ratio indicates the pattern of financing of the business. The ratio can be computed by putting longterm debt in relation to shareholder’s fund. A proper proportion must be maintained between proprietors’ (owners’) funds and long-term loans. It is calculated as follows: Debt- Equity Ratio = External Equity Internal Equity 30

The ratio may be 2:1. It implies that outside long-term loans may be twice the shareholder’s fund. If the ratio is more than two, the business would become risky. The ideal ratio may be 0.67. However, if the business is flourishing and there is high profitability ever after repayment of interest and liquidity position is not adversely affected by repayment of interest & principal sum, it is definitely advisable to have greater debt-equity ratio. Significance: Debt-Equity ratio indicates the stake of shareholders or owners in the oraganisation vis-à-vis that of the creditors. It indicates the cushion available to the creditors on liquidation of the organizations. A high debtequity ratio may indicate that the financial stake of the creditors is more than that of the owners. A very high debt-equity ratio may make the proposition of investment in the oraganisation very risky one. On the other hand, a very low debt-equity ratio may mean that the borrowing capacity of the organisation is being underutilized. (b) Proprietary Ratio: Proprietary ratio indicates the relationship between the owners’ fund and total assets. It is a slight variant of the debt-equity ratio. The general financial strength or the weakness of the concern is reflected by this ratio as this ration as it shows the proportion of proprietor’s fund invested in assets employed in the business. The ratio can be calculated as: Proprietary Ratio = Owners’ Fund Total Assets

Significance: The ratio indicates the extent to which the owners’ funds are sunk in different kinds of assets. The high ratio is indicative of the sound financial status of the company and the creditors are relatively at a comfortable position. Financing of assets to the extent of more than 50% through the use of outside funds may be dangerous for the enterprise.

31

(ii) Short term Solvency Ratios (a) Current Ratio: Current ratio measures the solvency of the company in the short term. Current assets are those assets, which can be converted into cash with in one year. Current Liabilities and provisions are those liabilities that are payable within a year. A current ratio of 2:1 indicates a highly solvent position. A current ratio of 1.33:1 is considered by banks as the minimum acceptable level for providing working capital finance. A very high current ratio will have adverse impact on the profitability of the organisation. A high current ratio may be due to the piling up of inventory, inefficiency in collection of debtors, high balances in cash and bank accounts without proper investment. It can be calculated as: Current Ratio = Current Assets, Loans & Advances Current Liabilities & Provisions

Significance: It indicates the backing available to current liabilities in the form of current assets. In other words, a higher current ratio indicates that there are sufficient assets available with the organisation, which can be converted into cash, without any reduction in value, in a short span of time, i.e. current assets, to pay off the liabilities, which are to be paid off in the short span of time, i.e. current liabilities. As such higher the current ratio , better will be the situation. 4.3 ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS ‘Ratio Analysis is to a business what a score board is to a game’. The ratios are useful in the following ways: (i) Assessment of Financial health & operational efficiency: Ratios reveal useful trends for assessment of financial strength and operational efficiency of an enterprise. (ii) Facilitates inter-firm Comparison: For inter-firm comparison, ratio analysis is of immense importance. Suitable relationships can be established between

32

various relevant factors in a concern and these can be compared with the same in other units in the industry or average for the industry as a whole. (iii)Intra firm comparison possible: The performance of different divisions of the enterprise can also be compared suitably with the help of ratio analysis. The departmental efficiency can be judged and appropriate decisions taken in several directions. (iv) Planning & Forecasting: Ratios not only perform post mortem operations, but also serve as barometers for future. Ratios have predatory value and they are very helpful in forecasting and planning the business activities for a future period. The ratio analysis is one of the most popular techniques employed to diagnose the financial edifice and flow of funds of a firm. The ratios are used to locate symptoms of problems. 4.4 LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS It is said “ ratios like statistics have an air of precision and finality about them which at times may be misleading.” Ratios can at times be quite deceptive since they are precise in numbers mathematically. Therefore, the limitations of ratio analysis must be kept in mind, which are as under: (i) Only Indicators: Ratios are simply indicators, too much reliance should not be put on figures. Ratios are at best only symptoms and there is always a need to investigate the facts revealed by them further, since the malady may be deep seated. (iii) Dependence of financial statements: The base of ratio analysis is financial statement. Whatever limitations financial statements have, those automatically apply to ratio analysis too. There may be differing accounting policies pursued in different years or different firms. Comparisons, horizontal or vertical, will become vicious, in case, say, valuation of inventories or charge of depreciation is on different basis. Careful examination of the statements disclosing accounting policies, if any, is necessary. Suitable adjustments should be made in the financial statements before attempting ratio analysis. (iv) No precise terminology: Accounting ratios and terms used to calculate such ratios have no standard and precise definitions as yet. For example, net profit 33

ratio is calculated on the basis of operating profit by one and net profit before tax by the other and the net profit after tax by the third. (v)

Effect of inflation: Comparisons become meaningless since, on account of change in the level of prices, the values shown in the financial statements loose their significance. Adjustment in the values is required before undertaking ratio analysis.

(vi) Accuracy of accounts: If the accounts have not been correctly prepared, the ratio cannot be correctly computed.

Ratios are only as accurate as the

accounts on the basis of which these are established. The effect of window dressing should be eliminated after proper adjustments in case the ratio analysis is to serve any useful purpose. (vii) Cause-and-Effect Relation missing: The relationship of cause & effect is necessary to be established before relating two variables. If ratios of not significantly related figures are calculated, these will give misleading results. The exact cause & the exact effect should also be very clear at the outset. (viii) Correct Interpretation: Ratio computation leads us nowhere; accept to some summarized figures only after studying the realities behind the financial statements, the ratio can be correctly interpreted. (ix) No suitable standards: Suitable standards for comparison are missing. In the absence of a single standard, it becomes very difficult to apply the technique to serve any effective purpose.

From the figures it can be interpreted that the company’s operating expanses has gone up considerably in the year 2005-06, which can be because of business 35

expansion spree. Increase in the operating expanses in 2005-06 was 781.8% while increase in the sales was mere 296.72%. The operating expanses increased to 52.72% in 2006-07 while sales increased to a higher proportion of 71%, indicating a better operational efficiency achieved in 2006-07. (i)

Interpretation: From the bar graph showing the Net profit ratio, it can be very well concluded that the net profit ratio is showing almost same trend as operating cost ratio. The figure for net profit has obviously gone up by 214.57 % in the year 2005-06 but it was not proportionate to increase in sales that were approx. 296.72%, resulting in a decrease in Net profit ratio. This decrease can again be apportioned to increase 36

operating costs in the same year. While situation has been improved to in the year 2006-07 as an increase of 71 % in sales has bought about 106.18 % increase in Net profits making the picture better. But Net profit ratio for the year 2006-07 has not yet crossed the 2004-05 mark. But if the trend continues, 2007-08 will see an improving figure.

Interpretation: A high fixed asset turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organisation to achieve maximum sales with minimum investment in fixed assets and vice-versa. A high fixed asset turnover in year 2004-05 shows better utilization of fixed assets. But in year 2006-07, 13.956 % increase in fixed assets could bring about an increase of mere 296.72 % in sales reducing the ratio to a great extent. It could be because of high investment made by the organisation for business expansion. The situation has slightly improved in the year 2006-07 as an increase of 17% in fixed assets caused 71.07 % increase in sales. Hence the figures are moving to a better end. (ii) Current Assets Turnover Ratio: It is calculated as follows: Formula = Net Sales Current Assets Calculation: For 2004-05 = 518,906,568 = 0.0662 7,832,695,451 For 2005-06 = 2,058,627,680 = 0.1407 14,622,116,651 For 2006-07 = 3,521,811,800 = 0.2198 16,015,707,358

Interpretation: The current ratio figures are showing an increasing trend over the years. A high & increasing current ratio figure indicates capability of the organisation to achieve maximum sales with minimum investment in current assets. Here current 39

assets include Interest accrued, sundry debtors, cash & bank balances, Loans & advances. In year 2005-06, an increase in 86.68 % in current assets resulted in 296.72% increase in sales. While an increase of 9.53 % in current assets in year 2006-07, increased the sales to 71%.

Interpretation: Working capital ratio is also showing an upward trend over three years. It indicates the higher increase in sales with less than proportionate increase in working capital. Hence an increasing working capital turnover ratio shows better efficiency in utilizing working capital for achieving maximum sales. In year 2005-06, 40

an increase of 79.77 % in working capital showed approx. 292% increase in sales. While in 2006-07 increase in working capital brought about almost proportional increase in sales.

Interpretation: Capital turnover ratio indicates the efficiency of the organisation with which the capital employed is being utilized. A high turnover ratio indicates the capability of the organisation to achieve maximum sales with minimum amount of capital employed. From the above figure, it is clearly visible that the capital turnover ratio is showing an increasing trend. In the year 2005-06,the ratio has increase 60% as compared to year 2004-05, while the increase in approx. 65 % in the year 2006-.07.

41

As in year 2005-06, 147.52 % increase in capital employed, increased the sales to 296.72%. While in year 2006-07 a mere 3.122% increase in capital employed caused 71% increase in sales. III.

Interpretation: The above figure shows an increasing trend of proprietary ratio over the years. An increasing Proprietary ratio is indicative of strong financial position of the business. However a ratio below 50% is regarded as alarming for the creditors. The ratio has shown an increase of 13% in the year 2005-06 as compared to 2004-05. While the ratio increased by 22 % in 2006-07. The increasing proprietary ratio is a satisfactory indication of organization’s financial health. 43

Interpretation: Current ratio measures the short-term solvency of the business. Current ratio indicates the backing available to current liabilities in the form of current assets. The ideal current ratio is 2:1. The current ratio figure is very high in all the three years, which indicates that the current liabilities are very less as compared to current assets. The company needs to lower down its current ratio as it indicates poor utilization of current assets.

In year 2005-06, increase in sales was 178.06%, while there was more than proportionate increase in net profit i.e. 281.78%, resulting in a maximum net profit ratio of 37.50% over three years. However during the year 2006-07, due to increase in operating expanses as shown by operating cost ratio, profits increased to mere 15.82 % while sales increased to 33%. Hence it can be concluded that the heavy operating expanses in the 2006-07, resulted in a high operating cost ratio & lower net profit ratio. (iii) ROI (Return on investment) It is calculated as: 46

Interpretation: Net profit ratio is reflecting the increasing trend of operating cost. As operating costs are increasing, net profit figure is decreasing resulting in a decrease in Net profit ratio, which is also not a positive sign for the organisation. Sales increased 62.57 times in year 2005-06 while increase in profit was less than proportionate i.e. 19.82 times. While in year 2006-07, sales increase to 3.996 times, making net profits increase to 2.84 times, which was very near to proportionate. But increase is sales was lesser than the last year. The net profit ratio is required to increase in the coming years, as decreasing ratio is reflecting inefficiencies in business operations.

Interpretation: Current ratio measures the short-term solvency of the business. Current ratio indicates the backing available to current liabilities in the form of current assets. The ideal current ratio is 2:1. The current ratio figure is very high in both the years, which indicates that the current liabilities are very less as compared to current assets. The company needs to lower down its current ratio as it indicates poor utilization of current assets.
