INTRODUCTION
Introduction:The term financial performance analysis also known as analysis and interpretation
of financial statements , refers to the process of determining financial strength and
weaknesses of the firm by establishing strategic relationship between the items of the
balance sheet , profit and loss account and other operative data.
Financial performance analysis is a process of evaluating the relationship between

component parts of a financial statement to obtain a better understanding of a firms
position and performance.
The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information contained in

financial statements so as to judge the profitability and financial soundness of the firm. Just
like a doctor examines his patient by recording his body temperature, blood pressure etc.
Before making his conclusion regarding the illness and before giving his treatment. A
financial analyst analyses the financial statements with various tools of analysis before
commenting upon the financial health or weaknesses of an enterprise.
The analysis and interpretation of financial statements is essential to bring out the
mystery behind the figures in financial statements. Financial statements analysis is an
attempt to determine the significance and meaning of the financial statement data so that
forecast may be made of the future earnings, ability to pay interest and debt maturities (both
current and long term) and profitability of a sound divided policy.
Financial performance refers to the act of performing financial activity. In broader sense,
financial performance refers to the degree to which financial objectives being or has been
accomplished. It is the process of measuring the results of a firm's policies and operations in
monetary terms. It is used to measure firm's overall financial health over a given period of
time and can also be used to compare similar firms across the same industry or to compare
industries or sectors in aggregation.
In short, the firm itself as well as various interested groups such as managers,
shareholders, creditors, tax authorities, and others seeks answers to the
Following important questions:
1. What is the financial position of the firm at a given point of time?

2. How is the financial performance of the firm over a given period?
Of time?
These questions can be answered with the help of financial analysis of a firm. Financial
analysis involves the use of financial statements. A financial statement is an organized
collection of data according to logical and conceptual framework 50 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 a balance sheet,
or may reveal a series of activities over a given period of time, as in the case of an income
statement.
Thus, the term financial statements generally refers to two basic statements:
The balance sheet and the income statement.
The balance sheet shows the financial position (condition) of the firm at a given point of
time. It provides a snapshot and may be regarded as a static picture.
Balance sheet is a summary of a firms financial position on a given date that
Shows total assets = total liabilities + owners equity.
The income statement (referred to in India as the profit and loss statement) reflects the
performance of the firm over a period of time.
Income statement is a summary of a firms revenues and expenses over a specified period,
ending with net income or loss for the period.
However, financial statements do not reveal all the information related to the financial
operations of a firm, but they furnish some extremely useful information, which highlights
two important factors profitability and financial soundness. Thus analysis of financial
statements is an important aid to financial performance analysis. Financial performance
analysis includes analysis and interpretation of financial statements in such a way that it
Undertakes full diagnosis of the profitability and financial soundness of the business.
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 firms
position and performance.
Need for Study
Need Of Financial Management Study To Diagnose The Information Contain In

Financial Statement. So as To Judge the Profitability and Financial Position of the
Firm.
Financial Analyst Analyses The Financial Statements With Various Tools Of
Analysis Before Commanding Upon The Financial Health Of The Firm.
Essential to Bring Out the History.
Significance and Meaning of the Financial Statements.

Objectives:
1. To understand the financial statements of Kesoram cement.
2. To study the change in assets and liabilities of the company.
3. To study the liquidity position of the firm.
4. To study the financial health of the company using ratio analysis.
5. To study the profitability of the company.
6. To offer suggestions to the company.
11
Significance of Financial Performance Analysis

Interest of various related groups is affected by the financial performance of a firm.
Therefore, these groups analyze the financial performance of the firm. The type of analysis
varies according to the specific interest of the party involved.
Trade creditors: interested in the liquidity of the firm (appraisal of firms liquidity)
Bond holders: interested in the cash-flow ability of the firm (appraisal of firms capital
structure, the major sources and uses of funds, profitability over time, and projection of
future profitability).
Investors: interested in present and expected future earnings as well as stability of these
earnings (appraisal of firms profitability and financial condition).
Management: interested in internal control, better financial condition and better
performance (appraisal of firms present financial condition, evaluation of opportunities in
relation to this current position, return on investment provided by various assets of the
company, etc)
Research Methodology
Research Design
This is a systematic way to solve the research problem and it is important
component for the study without which researches may not be able to obtain the format. A
research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a
manager that aims to combine for collection and analysis of data relevance to the research
purpose with economy in procedure.
Meaning of Research Design

The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the
preparation of design of the research project, popularly known as the research design,
decision regarding what, where, when, how much, by what means concerning an inquiry of
a research study constitute a research design. A research design is the arrangement of
conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manager that aims to combine for
collection and analysis of data relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure.
12
Sources of Data
Data we collected based on two sources.
Primary Data.
Secondary Data.
Primary Data
The Primary Data Are Those Informations, which are Collected afresh and for the
First Time, And Thus Happen to Be Original in Character.
Secondary Data:
The secondary data are those which have already been collected by some other agency and
which have already been processed. The sources of secondary data are annual reports,
browsing internet, through magazines.
1. It includes data gathered from the annual reports of Kesoram.

2. Articles are collected from official website of Kesoram.
Methodology Used:
Types Of Financial Statements Adopted:
Following Two Types of Financial Statements Are Commonly Used in
Analyzing the Firms Financial Position
a. Balance Sheet.
b. Income Statements.
13
Limitations of Financial Statement:

Each Project Gives Rise to Its Own Unique Risks And Hence Possess Its Own Unique
Challenges.
1. Only Interim Reports:

Only interim statements dont give a final picture of the concern. The data given in
these statements is only approximate. The actual position can only be determined when the
business is sold or liquidated.
2. Dont Give Extra Position:

The Financial Statements Are Expressed In Monetary Values, So They Appear To
Give Final And Accurate Position. The Values Of Fixed Assets In The Balance Sheet
Neither Represent The Value For Which Fixed Assets Can Be Sold Nor The Amount Which
Will Be Required To Replace These Assets.
3. Historical Costs:
The Financial Statements Are Prepared On The Basis Of Historical Costs Or
Original Costs. The Value of Assets Decreases with the Passage of Time Current Price
Changes Are Not Taken Into Account. The Statements Are Not Prepared Keeping In View
The Present Economic Conditions. The Balance Sheet Loses The Significance Of Being An
Index Of Current Economic Realities.
4. Act of non monitory factors Ignored:

There are certain factors which have a bearing on the financial position and
operating results of the business but they dont become a part of these statements because
they cant be measured in monetary terms. Such factors may include in the reputation of the
management.
No Precision:
The precision of financial statement data is not possible because the statements deal with
matters which cant be precisely stated. The data are recorded by conventional procedures
followed over the years. Various conventions, postulates, personal judgments etc.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

COMPANY PROFILE

Industry Profile:
In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance which
sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The word "cement"
traces to the Romans, who used the term "opus caementicium" to describe masonry which
resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The
volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives which were added to the burnt lime to obtain a
hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum and cement. Cements used in
construction are characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic.
The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concretethe bonding of
natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong building material which is durable in the
face of normal environmental effects.
Concrete should not be confused with cement because the term cement refers only to the dry
powder substance used to bind the aggregate materials of concrete. Upon the addition of
water and/or additives the cement mixture is referred to as concrete, especially if aggregates
have been added.
It is uncertain where it was first discovered that a combination of hydrated non-hydraulic
lime and a pozzolan produces a hydraulic mixture (see also: Pozzolanic reaction), but
concrete made from such mixtures was first used on a large scale by engineers. They used
both natural pozzolans (trass or pumice) and artificial pozzolans (ground brick or pottery) in
these concretes. Many excellent examples of structures made from these concretes are still
standing, notably the huge monolithic dome of the Pantheon in Rome and the massive Baths
of Caracalla. The vast system of Roman aqueducts also made extensive use of hydraulic
cement. The use of structural concrete disappeared in medieval Europe, although weak
pozzolanic concretes continued to be used as a core fill in stone walls and columns.
Modern cement
Modern hydraulic cements began to be developed from the start of the Industrial Revolution
(around 1800), driven by three main needs:
Hydraulic renders for finishing brick buildings in wet climates
Hydraulic mortars for masonry construction of harbor works etc, in contact with sea water.
Development of strong concretes.
In Britain particularly, good quality building stone became ever more expensive during a
period of rapid growth, and it became a common practice to construct prestige buildings
16
from the new industrial bricks, and to finish them with a stucco to imitate stone. Hydraulic
limes were favored for this, but the need for a fast set time encouraged the development of
new cements. Most famous was Parker's "Roman cement." This was developed by James
Parker in the 1780s, and finally patented in 1796. It was, in fact, nothing like any material
used by the Romans, but was Natural cement" made by burning septaria - nodules that are
found in certain clay deposits, and that contain both clay minerals and calcium carbonate.
The burnt nodules were ground to a fine powder. This product, made into a mortar with
sand, set in 515 minutes. The success of "Roman Cement" led other manufacturers to
develop rival products by burning artificial mixtures of clay and chalk.
John Smeaton made an important contribution to the development of cements when he was
planning the construction of the third Eddystone Lighthouse (1755-9) in the English
Channel. He needed a hydraulic mortar that would set and develop some strength in the
twelve hour period between successive high tides. He performed an exhaustive market
research on the available hydraulic limes, visiting their production sites, and noted that the
"hydraulicity" of the lime was directly related to the clay content of the limestone from
which it was made. Smeaton was a civil engineer by profession, and took the idea no
further. Apparently unaware of Smeaton's work, the same principle was identified by Louis
Vicat in the first decade of the nineteenth century. Vicat went on to devise a method of
combining chalk and clay into an intimate mixture, and, burning this, produced an "artificial
cement" in 1817. James Frost, working in Britain, produced what he called "British cement"
in a similar manner around the same time, but did not obtain a patent until 1822. In 1824,
Joseph Aspdin patented a similar material, which he called Portland cement, because the
render made from it was in color similar to the prestigious Portland stone.
All the above products could not compete with lime/pozzolan concretes because of fastsetting (giving insufficient time for placement) and low early strengths (requiring a delay of
many weeks before formwork could be removed). Hydraulic limes, "natural" cements and
"artificial" cements all rely upon their belite content for strength development. Belite
develops strength slowly. Because they were burned at temperatures below 1250 C, they
contained no alite, which is responsible for early strength in modern cements. The first
cement to consistently contain alite was made by Joseph Aspdin's son William in the early
1840s. This was what we call today "modern" Portland cement. Because of the air of
mystery with which William Aspdin surrounded his product, others (e.g. Vicat and I C
Johnson) have claimed precedence in this invention, but recent analysis of both his concrete
17
and raw cement have shown that William Aspdin's product made at North fleet, Kent was a
true alite-based cement. However, Aspdin's methods were "rule-of-thumb": Vicat is
responsible for establishing the chemical basis of these cements, and Johnson established
the importance of sintering the mix in the kiln.
William Aspdin's innovation was counter-intuitive for manufacturers of "artificial cements",
because they required more lime in the mix (a problem for his father), because they required
a much higher kiln temperature (and therefore more fuel) and because the resulting clinker
was very hard and rapidly wore down the millstones which were the only available grinding
technology of the time. Manufacturing costs were therefore considerably higher, but the
product set reasonably slowly and developed strength quickly, thus opening up a market for
use in concrete. The use of concrete in construction grew rapidly from 1850 onwards, and
was soon the dominant use for cements. Thus Portland cement began its predominant role.
It is made from water and sand.
Types of modern cement:

Portland cement:
Cement is made by heating limestone (calcium carbonate), with small quantities of other
materials (such as clay) to 1450C in a kiln, in a process known as calcination, whereby a
molecule of carbon dioxide is liberated from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide,
or lime, which is then blended with the other materials that have been included in the mix .
The resulting hard substance, called 'clinker', is then ground with a small amount of gypsum
into a powder to make 'Ordinary Portland Cement', the most commonly used type of cement
(often referred to as OPC).
Portland cement is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar and most non-speciality grout. The
most common use for Portland cement is in the production of concrete. Concrete is a
composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a
construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened,
can become a structural (load bearing) element. Portland cement may be gray or white.
Portland cement blends
These are often available as inter-ground mixtures from cement manufacturers, but similar
formulations are often also mixed from the ground components at the concrete mixing plant.
Portland blast furnace cement contains up to 70% ground granulated blast furnace slag,
with the rest Portland clinker and a little gypsum. All compositions produce high ultimate
18
strength, but as slag content is increased, early strength is reduced, while sulfate resistance
increases and heat evolution diminishes. Used as an economic alternative to Portland
sulfate-resisting and low-heat cements.
Portland fly ash cement contains up to 30% fly ash. The fly ash is pozzolanic, so that
ultimate strength is maintained. Because fly ash addition allows lower concrete water
content, early strength can also be maintained. Where good quality cheap fly ash is
available, this can be an economic alternative to ordinary Portland cement.
Portland pozzolan cement includes fly ash cement, since fly ash is a pozzolan, but also
includes cements made from other natural or artificial pozzolans. In countries where
volcanic ashes are available (e.g. Italy, Chile, Mexico, and the Philippines) these cements
are often the most common form in use.
Portland silica fume cement. Addition of silica fume can yield exceptionally high
strengths, and cements containing 5-20% silica fume are occasionally produced. However,
silica fume is more usually added to Portland cement at the concrete mixer.
Masonry cements are used for preparing bricklaying mortars and stuccos, and must not be
used in concrete. They are usually complex proprietary formulations containing Portland
clinker and a number of other ingredients that may include limestone, hydrated lime, air
entrainers, retarders, water proofers and coloring agents. They are formulated to yield
workable mortars that allow rapid and consistent masonry work. Subtle variations of
Masonry cement in the US are Plastic Cements and Stucco Cements. These are designed to
produce controlled bond with masonry blocks.
Expansive cements contain, in addition to Portland clinker, expansive clinkers (usually
sulfoaluminate clinkers), and are designed to offset the effects of drying shrinkage that is
normally encountered with hydraulic cements. This allows large floor slabs (up to 60 m
square) to be prepared without contraction joints.
White blended cements may be made using white clinker and white supplementary
materials such as high-purity metakaolin.
Colored cements are used for decorative purposes. In some standards, the addition of
pigments to produce "colored Portland cement" is allowed. In other standards (e.g. ASTM),
pigments are not allowed constituents of Portland cement, and colored cements are sold as
"blended hydraulic cements".
Very finely ground cements are made from mixtures of cement with sand or with slag or
other pozzolan type minerals which are extremely finely ground together. Such cements can
19
have the same physical characteristics as normal cement but with 50% less cement
particularly due to their increased surface area for the chemical reaction. Even with
intensive grinding they can use up to 50% less energy to fabricate than ordinary Portland
cements.
Non-Portland hydraulic cements
Pozzolan-lime cements. Mixtures of ground Pozzolan and lime are the cements used by the
Romans, and are to be found in Roman structures still standing (e.g. the Pantheon in Rome).
They develop strength slowly, but their ultimate strength can be very high. The hydration
products that produce strength are essentially the same as those produced by Portland
cement.
Slag-lime cements. Ground granulated blast furnace slag is not hydraulic on its own, but is
"activated" by addition of alkalis, most economically using lime. They are similar to
pozzolan lime cements in their properties. Only granulated slag (i.e. water-quenched, glassy
slag) is effective as a cement component.
Super sulfated cements. These contain about 80% ground granulated blast furnace slag,
15% gypsum or anhydrite and a little Portland clinker or lime as an activator. They produce
strength by formation of ettringite, with strength growth similar to a slow Portland cement.
They exhibit good resistance to aggressive agents, including sulfate.
Calcium aluminate cements are hydraulic cements made primarily from limestone and
bauxite. The active ingredients are monocalcium aluminate CaAl2O4 (CaO Al2O3 or CA in
Cement chemist notation, CCN) and mayenite Ca12Al14O33 (12 CaO 7 Al2O3, or C12A7 in
CCN). Strength forms by hydration to calcium aluminate hydrates. They are well-adapted
for use in refractory (high-temperature resistant) concretes, e.g. for furnace linings.
Calcium sulfoaluminate cements are made from clinkers that include ye'elimite (Ca4
(AlO2)6SO4 or C4A3
in Cement chemist's notation) as a primary phase. They are used in
expansive cements, in ultra-high early strength cements, and in "low-energy" cements.

Hydration produces ettringite, and specialized physical properties (such as expansion or
rapid reaction) are obtained by adjustment of the availability of calcium and sulfate ions.
Their use as a low-energy alternative to Portland cement has been pioneered in China,
where several million tonnes per year are produced. Energy requirements are lower because
of the lower kiln temperatures required for reaction and the lower amount of limestone
(which must be endothermically decarbonated) in the mix. In addition, the lower limestone
content and lower fuel consumption leads to a CO2 emission around half that associated
with Portland clinker. However, SO2 emissions are usually significantly higher.
"Natural" Cements correspond to certain cements of the pre-Portland era, produced by
burning argillaceous limestones at moderate temperatures. The level of clay components in
the limestone (around 30-35%) is such that large amounts of belite (the low-early strength,
high-late strength mineral in Portland cement) are formed without the formation of
excessive amounts of free lime. As with any natural material, such cements have highly
variable properties.
Geopolymer cements are made from mixtures of water-soluble alkali metal silicates and
aluminosilicate mineral powders such as fly ash and metakaolin.

magazine, hoarding etc.
Kesoram cement industry distinguished itself among all the cement factories in
Indian by bagging the National Productivity Award consecutively for two years i.e. for the
year 1985-1987. The federation of Andhra Pradesh Chamber & Commerce and Industries
(FAPCCI) also conferred on Kesoram Cement. An award for the best industrial promotion
expansion efforts in the state for the year 1984. Kesoram also bagged FAPCCI awarded for
Best Family Planning Effort in the state for the year 1987-1988.
One among the industrial giants in the country today, serving the nation on the
industrial front. Kesoram industry ltd. has a checked and eventful history dating back to the
twenties when the Industrial House of Birlas acquired it. With only a textile mill under its
banner 1924, it grew from strength to strength and spread its activities to newer fields like
Rayon, Transparent paper, pipes, Refractors, tyres and other products.
Looking to the wide gap between the demand and supply of vital commodity
cement, which play in important role in National building activity the Government of India,
had de-licensed the cement industry in the year 1966 with a review to attract private
entrepreneur to augment the cement production. Kesoram rose to the occasions and divided
to set up a few cement plants in the country.
Kesoram cement undertaking marketing activities extensively in the state of Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Maharashtra and Gujarat. In A.P. sales Depts., are
located in different areas like Karimnagar, Warangal, Nizamabad, Vijayawada and Nellore.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Introduction:
Financial Performance Analysis:
The term financial performance analysis also known as analysis and interpretation of
financial statements , refers to the process of determining financial strength and
weaknesses of the firm by establishing strategic relationship between the items of the
balance sheet , profit and loss account and other operative data.
Analyzing financial statements by Metcalf and Titard
Financial analysis is a process of evaluating the relationship between component
parts of a financial statement to obtain a better understanding of a firms position and
performance by Myers
Financial Performance:
The word Performance is derived from the word parfourmen, which means to do, to
carry out or to render. It refers the act of performing, execution, accomplishment,
fulfillment etc. In border sense, performance refers to the accomplishment of a given task
measured against preset standards of accuracy, completeness, cost, and speed. In other
words, it refers to the degree to which an achievement is being or has been accomplished. In
the Words of Frich Kohlar The performance is a general term applied to a part or to all the
conducts of activities of an organization over a period of time often with reference to past or
projected cost efficiency, management responsibility or accountability or the like. Thus, not
just the presentation, but the quality of results achieved refers to the performance.
Performance is used to indicate firms success, conditions, and compliance.
Financial performance refers to the act of performing financial activity. In broader

sense, financial performance refers to the degree to which financial objectives being or has
been accomplished. It is the process of measuring the results of a firm's policies and
operations in monetary terms. It is used to measure firm's overall financial health over a
given period of time and can also be used to compare similar firms across the same industry
or to compare industries or sectors in aggregation.
The purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information contained in financial
statements so as to Jude the profitability and financial soundness of the firm. Just like a
doctor examines his patient by recording his body temperature, blood pressure, etc. Before
36
making his conclusion regarding the illness and before giving his treatment, a financial
analyst analysis the financial statements with various tools of analysis before commenting
upon the financial health or weaknesses of an enterprise.
The analysis and interpretation of financial statements is essential to bring out the
mystery behind the figures in financial statements. Financial statements analysis is an
attempt to determine the significance and meaning of the financial statement data so that
forecast may be made of the future earnings, ability to pay interest and debt maturities (both
current and long term) and profitability of a sound divided policy.
Types of financial analysis:Financial analysis into different categories depending upon

(1) The material used and
(2) The method of operation followed in the analysis or the modus operandi of
analysis

Analysis
1. On the basis of material used: - According to material used, financial analysis can
be of two types
External analysis
Internal analysis
External analysis:This analysis is done by outsiders who do not have access to the detailed internal
outsiders include investors, potential investors, Creditors, Potential Creditors, Government
Agencies, Credit Agencies and General Public. For financial analysis, these external parties
to the firm depend almost entirely on the published financial statements.
Internal analysis:This analysis is undertaken by the persons namely executives and employees of the
organization or by the officers appointed by government or court who have access to the
37
books of account ( internal accounting records) and other information related to the
business.
2. On the basis of modus operandi:According to the modus operandi financial analysis can also be of two types
a. Horizontal analysis
b.Vertical analysis
Horizontal analysis:Horizontal analysis refers to the comparison of financial data of a company for several
years. The figures for this type of analysis are presented horizontally over a number of
columns. The figures of the various years are compared with standard or base year. a base
year is year chosen as beginning point. This type of analysis is also called dynamic
analysis as it is based on the data from year to year rather than on data of any one year. The
horizontal analysis makes it possible to focus attention on items that have changed
significantly during the period under view.
b. Vertical analysis:Vertical analysis refers to the study of relationship of the various items in the financial
statements of one accounting period. In this types of analysis the figures from financial
statement of a year are compared with a base selected from the same years statement
Methods of financial analysis:The following methods of analysis are generally used:1. Comparative Statements.
2. Trend Analysis.
3. Common-Size Statements.
4. Funds flow Analysis.
5. Cash Analysis
6. Ratio Analysis
7. Cost-volume-Profit Analysis
38
Comparative statements:The comparative financial statements are statements of the financial position at
different periods of time .the elements of financial position are show in a
Comparative Statement provides an idea of financial position at two or more
periods. Generally two financial statements (balance sheet and income statement) are
prepared in comparative form for financial analysis.
The Comparative Statement May Show:1. Absolute figures (rupee amounts)
2. Changes in absolute figures i.e. increase or decrease in absolute figures.
3. Absolute data in terms of percentages.
4. Increase or decrease in terms of percentages.
The Two Comparative Statements Are:1. Comparative balance sheet, and

2. Income statement.
1. Comparative balance sheet:The comparative balance sheet analysis is the study of the trend of the same items, group of
items and computed items in two or more balance sheets of the same business enterprise on
different dates. The change in periodic balance sheet items reflect the conduct of a business
the change can be observed by comparison of the balance sheet at the beginning and at the
end of a period and these changes can help in forming an opinion about the progress of an
enterprise.
Guide Lines for Interpretation of Comparative Balance Sheet:While interpreting comparative balance sheet the interpreter is expected to study the
following aspects:1. Current financial position and liquidity position
2. Long-term financial position
3. Profitability of the concern.
39
Common Size Statement:The common-size statements, balance sheet and income statement are show in
analytical percentages. The figures are shown as percentages of total assets, total liabilities
and total sales. The total assets are taken as 100 and different assets are expressed as a
percentage of the total similarly, various liabilities are taken as a part of total liabilities.
Common Size Balance Sheet:A statement in which balance sheet items are expressed as the ratio of each asset to
total assets and the ratio of each liability is expressed as a ratio of total liabilities is called
common size balance. The common size balance sheet can be used to compare companies
of differing size. The comparison of figures in different periods is not useful because total
figures may be affected by a number of factors. It is not possible to establish standard norms
for various assets. The trends of figures from year to year may not be studied and even they
may not give proper results.
Trend Analysis of Balance Sheet:Trend analysis is Very important tool of horizontal financial analysis.
This analysis enables to known the change in the financial function and operating efficiency
in between the time period chosen.
By studding the trend analysis of each item we can known the direction of changes and
based upon the direction of changes, the options can be changed.
Trend =Absolute Value of item in the statement understudy *100
Absolute Value of same item in the base statement
Ratio Analysis:
Ratio analysis is used as a technique of analyzing the financial information, contained in the
balance sheet and profit and loss accounts, for a more meaningful understanding of the
financial position and performance of a firm.
The relationship between two accounting figures, expressed mathematically, is known as a
financial ratio. A ratio helps the analyst to make qualitative judgment about the firms
financial position and performance.
Several ratios can be calculated from the accounting data contained in the financial
statements. The parties which generally undertake financial analysis is short term
creditors, long-term creditors, owner and management. In view of the requirements of the
various ratios, ratios are classified into the following four important categories.
40
Liquidity ratios
Leverage ratios
Activity ratios
Profitability ratios
Liquidity Ratios:
It is extremely essential for a firm to be able to meet its obligations as they become due.
Liquidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations. A firm should
ensure that it does not suffer from lack of liquidity, and also that it does not have excess
liquidity. The failure of a company to meet its obligations due to lack of sufficient liquidity,
will result in a poor creditworthiness, loss of creditors confidence, or even in legal tangles
resulting in the closure of the company. A very high degree of liquidity is also bad; idle
assets earn nothing. The firms funds will be unnecessarily tied up in current assets.
Therefore it is necessary to strike a proper balance high liquidity and lack of liquidity.
The most common ratios which indicate the extent of liquidity or lack of it are
Current ratio
Quick ratio
Other ratios include Cash ratio, Interval Measure and Net working capital ratio.
Current Ratio:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.
Current assets
Current ratio = -------------------------Current liabilities
Current ratio is a measure of the firms short term solvency. It indicates the availability of
current assets in rupees for every one rupee of current liability. A ratio of greater than one
means that the firm has more current assets than current claims against the, Current ratio of
2 to 1 or more is considered satisfactory. Current ratio represents a margin of safety for
creditors.
Quick Ratio:
Quick ratio also known as acid-test ratio establishes a relationship between quick assets and
the current liabilities. Cash is the most liquid asset. It is calculated by dividing quick assets
by current liabilities.
Quick ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
41
(Quick Assets = Current assets Inventory)

One defect of the current ratio is that it fails to convey any information on the composition
of the current assets of the firm. A rupee of cash is considered equivalent to a rupee of
inventory of receivables. But it is not so. A rupee of cash is more readily available to meet
current liabilities than a rupee of say inventory. This implies the usefulness of the current
ratio.
The Acid test ratio measures the firms ability to convert its current assets quickly into
cash in order to meet its current liabilities.
A quick ratio of 1 to 1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial condition. It
is an important index of the firms liquidity.
Leverage Ratios:
Leverage ratios identify the source of a firms capital owners or outside creditors.
Financial leverage refers to the use of debt in financing non-current assets. If the return on
assets exceeds the cost of debt, the leverage is successful i.e., it improves return on equity.
Debt Equity Ratio:

The Debt Equity is determined to analyze the soundness of the long term financial
policies of the organization. It is also known as Internal External Equity Ratio.
It is calculated as follows:
Debt Equity Ratio = Total long term debt / Share holders funds.
Equity Ratio:
This ratio is also called as proprietary ratio establishes a relationship between share holders
funds to total assets of company. Equity Ratio is calculated by dividing share holders fund
by total assets.
Fixed Asset Ratio:

This ratio indicates the extent to which the assets of the companys can be lost without
affecting the interest of the creditors of the company. Higher the ratios better the long-term
position of the company.
Activity Ratios:
They are primarily used for studying a firms working capital situation. A well managed
firm should have good activity ratios.
42
Working Capital Turnover Ratio:

The working capital turnover ratio indicates whether or not working capital has been
effectively used in making sales.
Working capital turnover = Sales / Net current assets
Inventory Turnover Ratio:

This ratio also known as Stock Turnover Ratio establishes the relationship between costs of
goods sold or net sales during the given period and the average amt of stock held during the
period. This ratio reveals the number of times finished stock in turnover during a given
accounting period.
Higher the ratio the better is it because it shows the finished stock is rapidly turned
in to sales. On the other hand, a low stock turnover ratio is not desirable, because it reveals
the accumulation of stock.
Debtors Turnover Ratio:

This ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of a company. In other words it shows
the number of times average turnover during a year.
A Higher Debtor Turnover Ratio indicates a more efficient is the management towards
debtors and low ratio ratio implies inefficient management of debtors.
Total Assets Turnover Ratio:

The asset turnover ratio indicates how efficiently management is employing Assets.
Total Assets Turnover Ratio = Sales / Total Assets
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability ratios are the ratios which measure a firms overall effectiveness as revealed by
the returns generated on sales and investment.
General Profitability Ratios:

1. Gross Profit Ratio
2. Net profit Ratio
3. Operating or Expenses Ratio.
43
Gross Profit Ratio:

Gross profit Ratio measures the relationships to net sales and is usually represented as a
percentage. It is a good measure of profitability.
The gross profit ratio indicates the extent to which selling price of goods per unit may
decline without resulting in losses on operation. Higher the gross profit betters the result.
Net Profit Ratio:

Net Profit Ratio indicates net margin on sales. It is given by the following equation.
Net Profit Ratio = (Net Profit / Sales) * 100
Operating or Expenses Ratio:

This ratio is complimentary of Net Profit Ratio. The more the net profit, the less the
Operating Ratio. Operating costs include the cost of direct materials, direct labors and other
overheads, viz., are generally excluded from operating costs. A comparison of the Operating
Ratio will indicate whether the cost efficiency is high or low in the figure of sales. This less
the ratio it depicts the efficiency of the management.
