Comments: The Company’s days’ sales in receivables ratio has increased constantly over the period of
time. This indicates the poor management of company for its receivables collection. Company should take
some measures to bring this ratio down because as much longer it takes to receive the sales account it
will bring more ambiguity in collection and may result in bad debts.

Comments: The Company’s accounts receivables turnover ratio has declined which means that company
is not taking effective measures to collect its receivables. The A/R Turnover ratio was 38.84 times in year
2005 and it has reached to 9.06 times in year 2009 which may be very harmful for company. This decrease
also shows the in effectiveness of policies of company towards its receivables collection.
This ratio shows the number of days for which receivables are transformed into cash. i.e.; they are
converted into cash through collection.

Comments: Account receivables turnover ratio in days has increased which means that the company’s
receivables are being collected in higher period of time which shows the ineffectiveness of company’s
management towards it’s receivables collection. The ratio was 9.4 in year 2005 and it increased to 40.30 in
year 2009 which is 5 times greater than in year 2005. So company doesn’t look desperate to collect it’s
receivables in shorter period of time. The reason may be the relaxed policies of company towards its
collection department. But company should have to take measures to bring this time period down to
make it sure that receivables are collected in time.

Comments: The Company’s inventory turnover ratio has increased in year 2006 as compared to year
2005 which is a good sign for company but it started to decrease in year 2007 and it further
decreased in year 2008. Company has managed to re boost its sales in year 2009 and increased the
turnover ratio of inventory in year 2009. So company has a mixture of trend in the turnover of its
inventory. This indicates that company has the ability to sale its inventory at larger scale if
management takes proper actions.

Comments: The inventory turnover ratio in days was highest in year 2005 and in year 2008. It means
that company has sold effectively its inventory in year 2006, 2007 and 2009 where its inventory was
sold out in just 2 days. But in year 2005 and year 2008 the company was not able to sale its inventory
regularly as compared to other years. Yet company has improved over last year and its inventory is
now being sold out in one and half day which is a good sign for company. As much inventory is sold
the company will earn more profit and it will show the higher profitability of company.

Comments: The operating cycle in year 2005 was 23.78 days and it reduced to 10.68 days in year 2006
which was a good performance by company which means that company is receiving cash proceeds from
its sales and selling it’s inventory in shorter period of time. The time difference between purchasing and
then collecting cash to complete cycle has been increased after year 2007 from 37.26 to 55.21 days.
Which means that in 2006 it takes only 10 days to complete operating cycle but now in 2009 it takes 55
days to complete a cycle? Although this period has decreased from last year from 66 days to 55 days but
it is still very much higher than it was in history of company.

Comments: Current ratio of company shows the ability to pay its short term liabilities. This ratio has
decreased a bit in year 2006 as compared to year 2005. But company has managed to take it up in year
2007. In year 2008 this ratio has also decreased with a very marginal affect. And again in year 2009
company’s current ratio has increased and gained the level as it was in year 2005. So this shows that
company is in a good position to pay its short term liabilities and it is maintaining adequate current assets
and reserve to meet its current liabilities. There are marginal changes in ratio but they have not any big
impact on the profitability and short term debt paying ability of company.

company took measures and it again increased in year 2007 from its previous level. Company has a
marginal decrease in year 2008 and a good increase in year 2009. This trend of company in its quick ratio
shows that the company has a sense of maintaining good and adequate funds for the payment of short
term obligations with its most liquid assets. Company is managing the assets quiet effectively and
efficiently. There is no need to worry about company’s debt paying ability in short terms.

Comments: Company’s cash ratio remained constant for year 2005 and 2006 but it decreased a bit in year
2007 and 2008. This shows that company decreased maintaining the cash and cash equivalents to its
current liabilities. But in year 2009, as it is a good year for the company, the level of cash and equivalents
has also increased which is a good sign for company. This ratio Is showing that company has a some
extent to meet its liquidity situation. And it can quickly pay its current obligations. But there is a point that
this ratio has decreased from year 2005, 0.947 to 0.67, to year 2009.
This ratio shows the amount of cash required to maintain a certain level of sales. It is most effective when
tracked on a trend line, so that management can see if there is a long-term change in the amount of cash
required by the business in order to generate the same amount of sales.

Comments: Sales to working capital ratio has a decreasing trend from year 2007 to year 2009. It
increased in year 2006 only. This means that company requires fewer amounts to finance and maintain
the level of sales for the particular year. The amount required to generate the level of sales is lower so it
means that company doesn’t need much money for its sales process.

Comments: The total assets turnover ratio was increased in 2006 with a great affect but after that it
decreased constantly. This means that company is not using its assets to generate the sales level as it

Comments: Company has a marginal increased in year 2006 of return on its assets but after that year
company failed to utilize its assets and generate adequate return on its assets. It means that company is
not using its assets well and measures and actions are needed to be taken. The ratio has declined from
24.35 times to 18.25 times from year 2005 to year 2009. So there may be a problem in management of
these assets because they are not being fully utilized to earn and generate money.

Comments: Operating income margin ratio decreased in year 2006 but after that company has
managed to increase its operating margin ratio. There may be a lot of reasons that company has

have not any material effect on the profitability of the company.

Comments: Operating assets turnover ratio was higher in year 2006 when it is compared to last 5 years
but it started to decrease over a period of time and reached at its lower value 3.82 in year 2009 which is
not a good sign for the company. The company is not using its operating assets affectively to generate
proper and adequate money. So company management needs to take some corrective actions to enhance
the operating asset turnover ratio.

but after that year the ratio has declined over the period of time. The company tried to recover in year
2008 but was not able to gain the previous level of ROI and now the company is earning return on
investment at its lower value as compared to its last 5 years. So company has to take some corrective
actions, if it wants to generate adequate return on its investments.

earning in its reserves to invest in some future opportunities or some other purposes. So this decision

Low dividend indicates that company has higher retained earnings from which company share price
automatically increase because through retained earning shareholder equity increase. But the investor
who wants current income mainly the short term investor prefer high dividend yield in the above ratio
company also keep on attracting the short term investors by increasing the dividend yield.

Comments: The book value per share has increased over the last 5 year by Rs.97/share. This shows the
company’s stability and presence in market.
Comments: If we consider the all ratios mentioned above it is clear that there is a great chance for the
investor to invest specially for the short term investor as the earning per share is keep on increasing as
well as company maintaining its payout ratio to attract more short term investor. Company is also
maintaining is dividend yield very well that shows how well company keeps its retained earnings after its
dividend. According to my opinion as the company is not using any debt so if we consider the other ratios
The company can use debt to generate more profits as it is quite sure that more the debt the more the
risk and more its return. This company is more suitable for the short term investor as short term investor
looks over the current income and company is paying the current income a lot better than many of the
other companies.
