actually have done in this week is to arrange and keeping documents in files in proper ways. 2nd things
I have learned that is petty cash vouchers and their use and application in business and how to prepare
these vouchers. I have worked on 5 files of petty cash vouchers. The work which is assigned to me is
that to check the calculation of each voucher by adding up the amount of each support attached to each
petty cash vouchers and find difference if any in supports attached and the total amount of petty cash
voucher.

Ratio
A relationship of one account with another account that expressed in mathematical form is called ratio.
Ratio Analysis
When we calculate varios types of accounting relationship with various accounting ratios called ratio
analysis.
4) Debt Ratio
Current Ratio
The standard of this ratio is 2:1.in 2010 & 2011 the current ratio decreases to 0.212 & 0.32 .this is
because due to decreases in the current assets which show that firm having less ability to pay its debts
as compared with 2009. In this way 2:1 ratio of 2010 to 2011 because Ratio decrease .111 this because
decrease in current assets. On the other hand firm should do less financing to attain more profit from its
assets.
Interpretation
Interpretation
In 2010 & 2011 this ratio increases to 0.169 & 0.30 which means that creditor finance in total assets is
more than the finance provided by the shareholders this is because of the increase in total liabilities in
2010 & 2011 due to more short term borrowing and shareholders equity also increases due to increase
in reserves of the company in 2010 & 2011. 1:1 is acceptable by the creditors but company has
improved their debt to equity ratio in 2010 & 2011.
Interpretation
In 2010 & 2011 debt ratio indicates that 47.6 % of company assets are financed with debt of various
type and remaining 52.3% are financed from shareholders equity.
There is an increase in this ratio during the year is 5% this is because of increase in debt such as trade
creditors, short term borrowings and asset finance-lease in 2010 & 2011 but the total assets also
increased.
Gross profit margin = Gross Profit (Sales - Cost of goods sold) / Net Sale*100
In 2010 & 2011 the gross profit margin decreases slightly to 1.10 & 1.79 as compared to 2009. In 2010
& 2011 sales of company increases but cost of sales also increases.

In 2010 this ratio decreases to 0.97 but 2011 increase of .63 % which shows that company does not
employ its assets efficiently as compared with 2009 & 2010. Net income increases slightly as compared
to more increase in sales in 2010 & 2011 as compared to previous year.
Return On Equity
In 2010 this ratio decreases by 0.57 but 2011 this ratio is 2.15 % increase due to increase in
shareholders equity which was due to increase in reserves during the year as compared to 2009, 2010
but the net profit after tax increase slightly.

In 2010 operating margin decreases to 1.973 due to decrease in operating profit of the company in this
year as compared to 2009. On other hand 2011 operating margin decrease to .19 due decrease of
operating profit of the company in the year as compared to 2009. That represent the more operating
expenses during the year and company has no more available margin to cover interest cost, dividend
and taxes.
In 2010 earning per share of the company increases slightly to 0.71 on other hand is 2011 earning per
share of the company increase of 5.64 which is due to some increase in profitability which is a
favorable condition for the company as compared to previous year.

Interpretation
In 2010 & 2011 the ratio difference the ratio 2009 is 0.14 which is a minor change but the sale and total
assets slightly increase in this year as compared with 2009 which is slightly favorable for the company.
Interest coverage ratio= Earning before interest and taxes / Interest Charge
Interpretation
The purpose of this ratio is to calculate how many times a firm earns interest charges during the year.
The standard of this ratio is 4. In 2009 this ratio was 25 times but in 2010 this ratio reduces to 10.21
times which indicates the more external debit financing during the year due to which the interest
charges of the firm increases in 2010 & 2011. This ratio reduces more rapidly in this year up to 14.79
times which reveal the 15 times increase in interest charges & 2011 also decrease but the ratio is still
favorable.
Interpretation:
This ratio indicates that working capital of the company is decreasing from 1.965 to 1.642 which is
unfavorable for the company because current assets of the company are decreasing from 2009 to 2011.
This is because of increase in current liabilities as comparatively current assets.
Interpretation:
Dividend per share is the ratio between the total dividends distributed among the shareholders to total
number of outstanding shares. This ratio shows that dividend per share of the company is Rs.10 in 2009
but in 2010 and 2011 it is Rs.6 per share which is reducing. Decrease in Dividend per share is due to
decrease in total dividend
Operating Cash Flow Ratio = Cash Flow from Operations / Current Liabilities*100
Interpretation:
Operating cash flow ratio is the ratio between cash flow generated from the operating activities of the
company during to current liabilities in that year.
This ratio indicates that operating cash flow ratio is decreasing gradually from 2009 to 2011 which is
favorable for the company.

Threats
A threat to a business arises from the activities of competitors and from failing to avail

crises etc.
Shahnawaz Sahib continues, ie aspiring for higher goals and always attaining higher targets. during the
year under review the company posted sales turnover at Rs 4.222 billion .Net profit at Rs 141 million
as a compared to Rs. 107 million of the corresponding year of 2010, Earn per share were Rs. 23.43
versus Rs.17.79 in the last year. Cash distribution of Rs. 75 % or 7.5 per share are record highest
The coming year appears to be another challenging year for the business as economic environment is
not favorable due to power crisis, internal security issues, soaring inflation rate and political instability.
Despite above unfavorable conditions, the company will continue to focus on cost effectiveness and
profit maximization.
Looking forward, we are confident that Shezan will achieve growth in juices, jam and pickles products
and now expanding production capacity of juice predicts in All Pure and twist category. We are hopeful
marketing force has been focusing on in increasing reach of diverse line of products
Conclusion
After doing internship and making analysis of shezan international limited I concluded that the
company is doing pretty much good but not to the extent that is required from it. Financial
analysis of the shezan international limited indicates that profitability ratios like gross profit and
net profit margin decreased due to increase in costs, operating expenses and finance costs.
Return on assets and return on equity are also decreased during the year. Activities ratios are
improved during the year which is favorable for the company. Interest coverage ratio declined
very rapidly due to more increase in interest expense on borrowing but is still favorable for the
company. Debt ratios are decreased due to more increase in debts as a result of long term
liabilities and short term borrowings. Total sales and net profit during the year is increased.
On the other hand being the pioneer in the juices in Pakistan it must have become market leader
now. There is no doubt that there come many diversifications and verities in the products of
Shezan but there is still a more to do. The company must do diversification in its juices and
other products and make it sure that it is following the required and up to mark placement and
promotion strategies such as to improve their distributor sector, to make new strategy for the
competitors, it has large capital , so they have to spend more money in the advertising field.
Recommendations
Some recommendations and suggestion are described below; by following them properly shezan
international limited can improve their performance and capture more market share by generating
more revenue and by getting edge over their competitors.
The company should maintain its product quality by setting a more efficient
Quality control department.
Supply should be improved and increased in areas having high demand and for
This purpose; company should improve its distribution channels.
Company should do a lot in the advertisement department as electronic media has shrunk the
world.
Modification according to present requirement
Different packing and size of products can be offered to consumers
Cost of productions should be reduced in order to earn sufficient profit on turnover.
Operating expenses and cost of finance (interest charges on loan) should be reduced.
There should be an increase in staff salaries so that they will work with motivation.

products.
