 CHAPTER- 2

Introduction of Financial Analysis

16
MEANING OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Financial statement refers to such statement which contains financial information about an
enterprise. Their report profitability and the financial position of the business at the end of the
Accounting period. The term financial statement includes at least two statements which the
accountant prepares at the end of accounting period. The two statements are:
 The Balance Sheet

 Profit And Loss Account

They provide some extremely useful information to the extent that balance Sheet mirrors the
financial position on a particular date in terms structure of assets, liabilities and owner equity, and
so on and the Profit and Loss account shows the result of operations during a certain period of time
in terms of revenues obtained and the cost incurred during the year. Thus the financial statement
provides a summarized view of financial position and operations of a firm.

The first task of financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the decision under
consideration to total information contained in the financial statement. The second step is to
arrange the information in a way to highlight significant relationship. The final step is interpretation
and drawing of the interface and conclusions. Financial Statement is the process of selection,
relation and evaluation.

FEATURES OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 To present a complex data contained in the financial statement in simple and
understandable form.
 To classify the items contained in the financial statement inconvenient and rational groups.
 To make comparison between various groups to draw various conclusions.

PURPOSE OF ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 To know the earning capacity or profitability.
 To know the solvency.
 To know the financial strengths.
 To know the capability of payment of interest and dividends.
 To make comparative study with other firm.
 To know the trend of the business.
 To know the efficiency of the management.
 To provide useful information to the management.

17
PROCEDURE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
The following procedure is adopted for the analysis and interpretation of financial Statements:-

 The analyst should know the plans and policies of the managements that he may be able to
find out whether these plans are properly executed or not.
 The extent of analysis should determine so that the sphere of work may be decided. If the
aim is find out, Earning capacity of the enterprise then analysis of income statement will be
undertaken. On the other hand, if financial position is to be studied then balance sheet
analysis will be necessary.
 The financial data be given in statement should be recognized and rearranged. It will involve
grouping the similar data under some heads. Breaking down of individual components of the
statement according to nature. A relationship is established among financial statements with
the help of tools and techniques of analysis such as ratios, trends, common size, and fund
flow, etc.
 The information is interpreted in a simple and understandable way. The significance and
utility of financial data is explained which help in decision making.
 The conclusion drawn from the interpretation is presented to the management in the form
of the report.

Analyzing financial statement involves evaluating three characteristics of the company:

 Its liquidity
 Its profitability
 Its insolvency.
A short-term creditor, such as a bank, is primarily interested in the liquidity. A long-term creditor,
such as a bondholder, however, looks to profitability and solvency measures that indicate the
company’s ability to survive over a long period of time

18
TOOLS OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Various tools are used to evaluate the significance of financial statement data. Three commonly
used tools are these
 Ratio Analysis
 Fund Flow Analysis
 Cash Flow Analysis

RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis isn’t just comparing different numbers from the balance sheet, income statement,
and cash flow statement. It means comparing the number against previous year of other
companies, the industry, or even the economy in general. Ratios look at the relationship between
individual values and relate them to how a company has performed in the past, and its
performance in the future.

RATIO

A ratio is a simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to another. It may be
defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions. In simple language ratio is one
number expressed in terms of another and can be worked out by dividing one number into
another.

For example, Current assets of the firm are 5, 00,000 and Current liabilities are 2, 50,000 then the
ratio of current assets to current liabilities will work out to be 2 such type of ratio are called simple
or pure ratios.

OBJECTIVE OF RATIOS

Ratios are worked out to analyze the following aspects of business organization

A) Solvency
 Long term
 Short term
 Immediate
B) Stability
C) Profitability
D) Operational efficiency
E) Structural Analysis

19
 F) Effective utilization of resources
G) Leverage or external financing
FORM OF RATIO
Since a ratio is a mathematical relationship between two or more variables, accounting figures,
such relationship can be expressed in different ways as follows:-

A) As a pure ratio
For example the equity share capital of a company is Rs. 20, 00,000 & the preference share capital is
Rs. 5,00,000 the ratio of equity share capital to preference share capital 20,00,000:5,00,000=4:1

Sales

EQUITY SHARE CAPITAL

PREFERENCE SHARE
CAPITAL

B) As a rate of times
In the above case the equity share capital may also be described as 4 times that of
preference share capital. Similarly, the cash sales of a firm are Rs. 12, 00,000 & credit sales
are Rs. 30, 00,000. So the ratio of credit sales to cash sales can be described as
2.5[30, 00,000/12, 00,000] = 2.5 times are the credit sales.

20
 Sales

CASH SALES
CREDIT SALES

C) As a percentage
In such case, one item may be expressed as a percentage of some other items. For example, net sale of
the firm are Rs.50, 00,000 & the amount of the gross profit is Rs. 10,00,000 then the gross profit may
be described as 20% of sales [10, 00,000/50, 00,000]

STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS

The ratio analysis requires following steps
 Calculation of ratios
 Comparing the ratio with some predetermined standards.
 The standard ratio may be the past ratio of the same firm’s industry’s average ratio or
projected ratio or the ratio of the most successful firm in the industry. In interpreting the
ratio of the particular firm the analyst cannot reach any fruitful conclusion unless the
calculated ratio is compared with the predetermined standard.

TYPES OF COMPARISONS
The ratio can be compared in three different ways

a) Cross section analysis

One of the ways of comparing the ratios of the firm is to compare them with the ratio or
ratios of some other selected firm in the same industry at the same point of time. The cross
section analysis helps the analyst to find out as to how a particular firm has performed in
relation to its competitors. The cross section analysis is easy to be undertaken as most of the
data required for this may be available in financial statement of the firm.
21
 b) Time series analysis
By comparing the present performance of the firm with the performance of the same firm
over the last few years, an assessment can be made about the progress of the firm. Time
series analysis helps the firm to assess whether the firm is approaching the long-term goals
or not. The time series analysis looks for
 Important trends in financial performance
 Shift in trend over the years
 Significant deviation if any from the other set of data.

c) Combined analysis
If the cross section & time analysis, both are combined together to study the behavior &
pattern of ratio, then meaningful & comprehensive evaluation of the performance of firm
can definitely be made. A trend of ratio of a firm compared with the trend of ratio of the
standard firm can give good results, for example, the ratio of operating expenses to net sales
for firm may be higher than the industry however, over the years it has been declining for
the firm, whereas the industry average has not shown any significant changes.
The combined analysis shows that the ratio of the firm is above the industry average, but it
is decreasing over the years & approaching the industry average.

NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

Ratio analysis is a technique of analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It is a process of

establishing and interpreting various ratios for helping in making certain decisions. It is only a
means of better understanding of financial strengths and weaknesses of a firm. There are number
of ratios which can be calculated from the information given in the financial statements, but the
analyst has to select the appropriate data and calculate only few appropriate ratios from the same
keeping in mind the objective of analysis.

The following are the fore step involved in the ratio analysis

22
 Selection of the relevant data depending upon
the objectives of the analysis

Calculation of the ratio from the above data

comparison of the ratio with the past ratio

Interpretation of the ratio

INTERPRETATION OF THE RATIO

The interpretation of the ratios is an important factor. The limitations of ratio analysis should also
be kept in mind while implementing them. The impact of factors such as price level changes,
change in accounting policies, etc. should also be kept in mind when attempting to interpret ratios.

The interpretation of the ratio can be made in the following ways:

 Single Absolute Ratio: Generally speaking one cannot draw any meaningful conclusion when
a single ratio is considered in isolation. But single ratios may be studied in relation to certain
rules of thumb which are based upon well proven convention as for example 2:1 is
considered to be a good ratio for current assets to current liabilities.

 Group of Ratios: Ratios may be interpreted by calculating a group of related ratios. A single
ratios supported by another related additional ratios become more understandable and
meaningful. For example, the ratio is current assets to current liabilities to draw more
dependable conclusion.

 Historical Comparison: One of the easiest and most popular ways of evaluating the
performance of the firm is to compare its present ratios with the past ratios called
comparison overtime. When financial ratios are compared over a period of time, it gives an
indication of the directions of the change and reflects whether the firm’s performance and
financial position has improved, deteriorated or remained constant over a period of time.

23
  Projected ratio: Ratios can also be calculated for further standard based upon the projected
or Performa financial statements. These future ratios may be taken as standard for
comparison and the ratios calculated on actual financial statements can be compared with
the standard ratios to find out variances, if any. Such variances help in interpreting and
taking corrective action for improvement in future.

 Inter-firm comparison: Ratios of one firm can also be compared with the ratios of some
other selected firms in the same industry at the same point of time. This kind of comparison
helps in evaluating relative financial position and performance of the firm.

USE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS

The ratio analysis is one of the most important tools of financial analysis. It is used as a device to
analyse and interpret the financial health of the enterprise.

A. Managerial use of Ratio Analysis

1. Helps in decision making: Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision
making. But the information provided in the financial statement is not an end in itself
and no meaningful conclusion can be drawn from these statements alone. Ratio Analysis
helps in making decision from the information provided in these financial statements.

2. Helps in financial forecasting and planning: Ratio analysis is of much help in the financial
forecasting and planning. Planning is looking ahead and the ratios calculated for a
number of years work as a guide for the future. Meaningful conclusions can be drawn for
future from these ratios. Thus, ratio analysis helps in forecasting and planning.

3. Helps in communicating: The financial strength and weakness of the firm are
communicated in the more easy and understandable manner by the use of ratios.

4. Helps in co-ordination: Ratios even help in co-ordination which is of utmost importance

in effective business management.

5. Helps in control: Ratios analysis even helps in making effective control of the business.

B. Utility to share holders/ investors

An investor in the company will help to assess the financial position of the concern where
he is going to invest. His first interest will be the security of his investment and then a return
24
 in the form of dividend or interest. For the first purpose he will try to assess the value of
fixed assets and loan raised against them. The investors feel sufficient if the investors have
sufficient amount of assets.

C. Utility to creditors
The creditors or the suppliers extend short term credit to the concern. They are interested
to know whether financial position of the concern warrants their payments at the specified
time or not. The concern pays short term creditors out of its current assets. If current assets
are quite sufficient to meet current liabilities then the creditors will not hesitate in extending
credit facility.

D. Utility to employees
The employees are also interested in the financial position of the firm especially profitability.
Their wage increases and the amount of fringe benefits are related to the volume of profits
earned by the concern. The employees make use of information available in financial
statement.

E. Utility to government-
Government is interested to know the overall strength of the industry. Various financial
statements published by industrial units are used to calculate ratios for determining short
term, long term and overall financial position of the concerns. Profitability index can also be
prepared with the help of ratios.

LIMITATION OF THE RATIO ANALYSIS

The ratio analysis is one of the most powerful tools of financial management. Though ratios are
simple to calculate and easy to understand, but there are number of limitations:

 Limited use of a Single ratio: A single ratio, usually, does not convey much of a sense. To
make a better interpretation a number of ratios have to be calculated which is likely to
confuse the analyst then help him in making any meaningful conclusion.

 Lack of Adequate Standards: There are no well adopted standards for all ratios which can be
accepted as norms. It renders interpretation of ratios is difficult.

25
  Limitation of Accounting: Like financial statements, ratios also suffer from the inherent
weakness of accounting records such as their historical nature. Ratios of the past are not
necessarily true indicator of the future.

 Change of Accounting Procedures: Change in the Accounting Procedures by a firm often

makes ratio analysis misleading.

 Personal Bias: Ratios are only means of financial analysis and not an end in itself. Ratios
have to be interpreted and different people interpret the same ratio in different ways.

 Incomparable: Not only industries differ in their nature but also the firms of a similar
business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures, etc. it makes comparison of
ratios difficult and misleading.

 Price Level Change: While making ratio analysis, no consideration is made to the change in
price levels and this makes the interpretation of ratios invalid.

 Ratios no substitute: Ratio analysis is merely a tool of financial statement. Hence, ratios
become useless if separated from the statements from which they are compounded.

INTERPRETATION OF CURRENT RATIO

A relatively high current ratio is an indication that the firm is liquid and has the ability to pay its
current obligations in time as and when they become due. On the other hand, a relatively low
current ratio represents that the liquidity position of the firm is not good and the firm shall not be
able to pay its current liabilities in time without facing difficulties. An increase in the current ratio
represents the improvement in the liquidity position of a firm while a decrease in the current ratio
indicates that there has been deterioration in the liquidity position of the firm.

CURRENT RATIO FOR NESTLE INDIA LIMITED FOR LAST TWO YEARS

Year 2011 2010

Current Assets 8,565,592 7,979,532

Current Liabilities 14,223,846 11,847,828

Current Ratio 0.60 0.67

The current ratio for the company in the year 2010 was 0.67 and for the year 2011 was 0.60. So the
current ratio for the firm has decreased by 0.07 which indicates that the company’s liquidity
position is decreasing. The main reason for this is the rise in the current liabilities of the company
from 11,847,828 in 2010 to 14,223,846 in 2011.There may not be sufficient funds to pay liabilities.
QUICK RATIO

Quick Ratio, also known as Acid Test or liquidity ratio, is the most precise test of liquidity than the
current ratio. The term ‘liquidity’ refers to the ability of the firm to pay its short term obligations as
and when they become due. The two determinant of current ratio, as a measure of liquidity, are
current assets and current liabilities.

INTERPRETATION OF QUICK RATIO

Usually, a high acid test ratio is an indication that a company is liquid and has the ability to meet its
current or liquid liabilities in time and on the other hand a low quick ratio represents that the
company’s liquidity position is not good.

QUICK ASSETS 3,578,213 3,630,415

CURRENT LIABILITIES 14,223,846 11,847,828

QUICK RATIO .251 .306

Hence the quick ratio of the company in 2011 was .251 and 2010 was .306 shows that the quick
ratio of the company has decreased by .55 because the company has purchased assets by the bank
balance as the company has not taken any loan during the year so the quick ratio of the company
decreased.

the
level of inventory should neither be too high nor too low.
Inventory turnover ratio will indicate whether the inventory has been efficiently used or not. The
purpose is to see whether only the required minimum funds have been locked up in the inventory.
Inventory turnover ratio 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.

Inventory turnover ratio =

INTERPRETATION OF INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. Usually, a high
inventory turnover indicates efficient management of inventory because more frequently stocks
are sold; the lesser amount of money is required to finance the inventory. A low inventory turnover
ratio indicates an inefficient management of inventory. A low inventory turnover implies over-
investment in inventories, dull business, poor quality of goods, stock accumulation, accumulation
of obsolete and slow moving goods and low profit are compared to total investments.

period

The Inventory conversion period has shifted from 66 days in 2010 and 59 days in 2011 which shows
that the company is efficiently managing their stock and its inventory turnover has also increased
which shows that there is rise in sale.

NET PROFIT RATIO

Net profit ratio establishes a relationship between net profit (after tax) and sales, and indicates the
efficiency of the management in the manufacturing, selling, administrative and other activities of
the firm. This ratio is the overall measure of firm’s profitability and is calculated as:

Net profit
Net Profit Ratio = X 100
Sales

The two basic elements of the ratio are net profit and sales. The net profits are obtained after
deducting income-tax and, generally, non-operating income and expenses are excluded from the
net profit for calculating this ratio. Thus, incomes such as interest on investment outside the
business, profit on sale of fixed assets, etc. are excluded

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 outsiders funds and the internal equities or the
shareholders’ funds, thus

Outsiders funds
Debt-Equity Ratio =
Shareholders’ funds

The two basic components of the ratio are outsiders’ funds i.e., external equities and shareholders’
funds, i.e. internal equities.

INTERPRETATION OF DEBT EQUITY RATIO

The debt equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which debt financing has been used in
the business. The ratio indicates the proportionate claims of owners and the outsiders against the
firm’s assets.
63
Generally speaking, a low ratio is considered as favorable from the long- term creditors’ point of
view because a high proportion of owners fund provides a larger margin of safety for them. A high
debt equity ratio which indicates that the claims of outsider are greater than those of owners, may
not be considered by the creditors because it gives a lesser margin of safety for them at the time of
liquidation of the firm.
