1. INDUSTRY PROFILE

Industry Overview
The Indian Dairy Industry has made rapid progress since independence. A large number of

modern milk planes and product factories have since been established. These organize dairies have been successfully engaged in the routine commercial production of pasteurized milk and milk products. India is the worlds largest milk producer certified by the International Dairy Industry. This is the reason for the recognition of India as a dairy giant by the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO). India has become the worlds No.1 milk producing country, with output in 1999-2000(marketing year ending March 2000) forecasted at 78 million tones. The annual rate of growth in milk production in India is between 5-6 percent, against the worlds at 1 percent. Indias annual milk production has more than trebled in the last 30 years, rising from 21 million tones in 1968 to an anticipated 80 million tones in 2001. This rapid growth and modernization is largely credited to the contribution of dairy cooperatives, under the Operation Flood (OF) Project, assisted by the many multi-lateral agencies, including the European Union, the World Bank and WFP (World Food Program),In the Indian context of poverty and malnutrition, milk has a special role to play for its many nutritional advantages as well as providing supplementary income to some 70 million farmers in over 5,00,000 remote villages.

Milk is the raw material of the dairy industry, which cannot be created artificially and stored for long time. The term Milk Market refers to the fluid whole that is sold to the individuals usually for direct consumption.The dairy industry has come up to the present stage because of the National Dairy Development Board and co-operation of the Government.

BNMIT

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT Effective and coordinated efforts of the National Dairy Development Board lays down rules and regulations to be followed by the various co-operatives milk societies. Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) was a pioneer in starting a co-operative milk producers society and thereafter many cooperative societies where started.

World Bank also had given credit of Rs.78 Crores for starting another society as Amul in 1975. In the year 1970 Operation Flood gave another boost to the dairy industry by providing soft loans, subsidies, plans, etc. This made dairy industry flourish and the members of the cooperatives milk producers society where able produce a large amount of milk. The various activities so started continued under Operation Flood-II&III.

Operation Flood, launched in 1970, has been instrumental in helping the farmers mould their own development. Thus, helping reach milk to consumers in 700 towns and cities through a National Milk Grid. It also helped eradicate the need for middlemen there by reducing the seasonal price variation. As a result of the cooperatives structure the whole exercise of production and distribution of the milk and milk products has become economically viable for farmers to undertake on their own. In this manner the farmer himself can enjoy the fruits of his own labour, instead of surrendering a majority of the profit to corrupt middlemen. Operation Flood, which started in 1970, concluded its Third Phase in 1996 Operation Flood Hailed as Indias most ambitious and highly successful rural development project has turned dairying in to a core economic activity in India. The World Bank for its achievements has launched the third and final phase of Operation Flood, which culminated in April 1996. Operation Flood, has helped knit ten million farmer members, spread over 70,000 villages into a catalyst of White Revolution in the country.

As India enters an era of economic reforms, agriculture, particularly the livestock sector, is position being a major growth area. The fact that dairying could play a more constructive role in promoting rural welfare and reducing poverty is increasingly being recognized. For example, milk production alone involves more than 70 million producers, each raising one or two cows/ buffaloes.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Mega Dairy with a capacity to process 6 lakh liters of milk per day expandable to10 IIpd has been built by investing Rs.38.70 crores obtained as term loan from National Dairy Development Board. The Mega Dairy has latest state-of-the-art technological facilities in dairy processing and the union will have the ability to manufacture milk and milk products to world class standards. Although Bamul sets high standards for its products and customer serve, its prior reliance on manual operations made it impossible to keep with surging demand. In designing mega dairy, Bamul looked towards an automated system that would allow it to achieve consistent quality parameters for each product. Energy and manpower would also be more effectively optimized and controlled and all plant equipment would be integrated.

k. Future growth and prospects


The company wants to become not only the largest union, but also become one amongst the bestrun milk unions in the country. The union is aware of the challenges of the new private entrants, who are mainly thriving on unfair trade practices. They procure milk at least cost, without bothering about the welfare of the producers and without extending any technical inputs for improving milk production. They market milk by resorting to unhealthy and unethical practices deceiving the unsuspecting consumers. The union wants to counter this in a positive manner by trying to improve its efficiency of operation and market promotion. It wants to follow the strategy of cost-competitiveness, which is hard to match by the competitors. Future plans: Gasifier System at all the chilling centers Utilization of Methane gas generated from ETP. Rain water harvesting Installation of continuous evaporator of condensing milk Appointing external agency to identify and adopt the more efficient energy savings system.

3. McKENSYS 7S FRAME WORK


The 7S model is better known as McKinseys 7S. This is because the two persons who developed this model, Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, have been consultants at McKinsey & Co at that time. They published their 7S Model in their article Structure Is Not Organization (1980) and in their books The Art of Japanese Management (1981) and In Search of Excellence (1982). The model starts on the premise that an organization is not just structure, but consists of seven elements:

Those seven elements are distinguished in so called hard Ss and soft Ss. The hard elements are feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans, organizational charts and other documentation The four soft Ss however, are hardly feasible. They are difficult to describe since capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in the organization. Therefore it is much more difficult to plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements. Although the soft factors are below the surface, they can have a great impact of the hard structures, strategies and systems of the organization.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

THE HARD Ss 1. STRUCTURE: The term structure in 7s framework model refers to the organizational structure of the company. The designs of the organizational structure is critical task to the management of an organization, it is the skeleton of the whole organization. Organization structure refers to relatively more durable organizational arrangements and relationship. It prescribes the formal relationship among various positions and activities. Arrangement about reporting how an organizational member is to communicate with other members, the various activities performed by members is all the part of organizational structure. Organizational structure performs four major functions: It reduces internal uncertainty arising out of variable unpredictable, random human behavior within the organization through control mechanisms. It reduces external uncertainty through forecasting, research and planning in the organization. It undertakes a wide variety of activities through devices such as departmentation, specialization and division of labor and delegation of authority. It enables the organization to keep its activities coordinated and to have a focus in the midst of diversity in the pursuit of its objectives.

Similarly, due to the convention of conservatism, the stock-in-trade is valued at cost or market price whichever is less. c) Personal Judgments Although an accountant is guided by accounting concepts and conventions in preparing the financial statements, he has to exercise personal judgment in many cases which affect the financial statements. Example: An accountant has to decide whether to use straight line method or written down value method for depreciation of fixed assets. Similarly, an accountant has to make a judgment whether to provide 2% or 5% as provision for bad and doubtful debts.

Meaning of Analysis and Interpretation


Analysis of financial statements means to critically examine the composition of an item or amount appearing in the financial statements. In other words, analysis means breaking up of an amount into its elements so that a particular element may be correlated to another and signinficant relationship may be established between them and conclusions may be drawn on the data presented in financial statments.

Such an analysis makes of various analytical tools and techniques to data of financial statements so as to derive from them certain relationships that are significant and useful for decision making. In the words of John N. Myers, Financial Statement Analysis is largely a study of the relationships amont the various financial factors in a business as disclosed by a single set of statements and a study of the trends of these factors as shown in a series of statements.

Interpretation is determining the meaning and drawing inferences or conclusions with regard to the results of significant relationship between the items correlated.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT Thus, financial statement analysis converts the mass data into useful information which is always in scarce supply. It points out the strengths and weakness of a business undertaking by use of various techniques such as ratio analysis, comparative statements etc. Such analyzed

information is used by the management, bankers, creditors, investors and others to form judgement about the operating performance and financial position of the business. Thus, financial statement analysis helps in evaluating a business performance according to some specific objectives.

Types of Financial Statement Analysis


Keeping in mind the requirements of different parties interested, financial statement analysis may be classified as follows. 1. Internal and External Analysis: When analysis is done on behalf of the management who have access to the internal accounting records of the firm, it is called internal analysis. Such an analysis serves the purpose of measuring the managerial efficiency of various functions of the business. External analysis is done by outsiders like share holders, creditors, investors and potential investors, government agencies, etc., who do not have access to the detailed internal records of the firm. Thus external analysis is dependent on the published financial statements of the firm.

2. Horizontal and Vertical Analysis: Horizontal Analysis is that which covers financial data of more than one year (may be upto 5 or 10 years). The figures for various years are presented horizontally over a number of columns. Trend percentages and Comparative financial Statements are types of horizontal analysis. This type of analysis is also called dynamic analysis. Vertical Analysis is also known as static analysis, covers a period of one year only and analysis is made on the basis of one set of financial statements. Common size financial statements and Ratio Analysis are techniques employed in vertical analysis.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Procedure for financial statements analysis


The analyst should acquaint himself with the principles and postulates of accounting. One should know the plans and policies of the management so that he may be able to find out whether these plans are properly executed or not. The extent of analysis should be determined so that the sphere of work may be decided. The financial data given in the statements should be re-organized and re-arranged. A relationship is established among financial statements with the help of tools and techniques of analysis such as ratios, trends, common size, funds flow etc. The information is interpreted in a simple and understandable way. The conclusions drawn from interpretation are presented to the management in the form of reports.

Parties involved in Financial Statement Analysis


Information contained in financial statements is useful to different categories of users of financial data. These are managers, shareholders, creditors, Government, auditors and other interested groups. Uses of financial data for each of these are explained in detail below. 1. Management: Management of a company is interested in its financial condition, profitability and progress. It uses a number of methods, tools and techniques available to analyse the financial data. Such analysis is used by the management to exercise control over the business and to make decisions to run it more efficiently.

2. Shareholders: Shareholders are the suppliers of basic capital to run the business. Such capital is exposed to all the risks of ownership. Shareholders are interested in the profitability, dividends declared and market value of their holdings. The current earnings of the company determine both dividends and market value of the shares.

3. Creditors: Creditors include short-term creditors like bankers, trade creditors and also long-term credit grantors like debenture-holders and financial institutions, etc. All creditors are mainly interested in the short-term and long-term solvency of the company. They are also interested in the profitability because profit is viewed as the primary source for payment of interest on loans and debentures.

4. Purchaser of business: Any person interested in the purchase of a going concern analyses the financial statements to determine its real value. It makes an assessment of the financial and operating strengths and weaknesses of the business.

5. Government: Financial statements are used by various government departments like income tax, sales tax, excise duty, etc., to determine the tax liability of the company. On the basis of such financial statements of companies in different industries, the government determines tax policy, import-export policy, industrial policy, etc.

6. Other interested groups: Financial statement analysis also serves the needs of many other user groups. For example, workers, trade unions analyze the financial statements to prepare ground for collective bargaining, to claim bonus etc.Lawyers also use financial statement analysis in furtherance of their investigative and legal work. Researchers also get useful data from the analysis of financial statment to make comparative study of profitability of many companies.

Significance and purposes of financial statement analysis


Financial statement analysis performs the essential function of converting mass data into useful information. Such analyzed financial information serves many and varied purposes as described below:

1. Judging profitability: Profitabililty is the measure of the efficiency and success of business enterprise. A company which earns profit at a higher rate is definitely considered a good company by the potential investors. The potential investors analyze the financial statement to judge the profitability and earnings capacity of a company so as to decide whether to invest in a company or not.

2. Judging liquidity: Liquidity of a business refers to its ability to pay off its short term liabilities when these become due. Short term creditors like trade creditors and bankers make an assessment of liquidity before granting credit to the company.

3. Judging Solvency: Solvency refers to the ability of a company to meet its long term debts. Long term creditors like debenture-holders and financial institutions judge the solvency of a company before any lending decisions. They analyze companys profitability over a number of years and its ability to generate sufficient cash to be able to repay their claims.

4. Judging the efficiency of management: Performance and efficiency of management of a company can be easily judged by analyzing its financila statments. Profitability of a company is not the only measure of companys managerial efficiency. There are number of other ways to judge the

BNMIT

33

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT operational efficiency of management. Financial analysis tell whether the resources of the business are being used in the most effective and efficient way.

5. Inter firm Comparison: A comparison study of financial and operating efficiency of different firms is possible only after proper analysis of their financial statements. For this purpose it is also necessary that the financial statements are kept on a uniform basis so that financial data of various firms are comparable.

6. Forecasting and budgeting: Financial Analysis is the starting point for making plans by forecasting and preparing budgets. Analysis of the financial statements of the past years helps a great deal in forecasting for the future.

Limitations of Financial Statements:


It is a general impression that financial statements are precise, exact and final. But sometimes these statements conceal some very important information. As such they suffer from certain limitations. 1. Effect of accounting concepts and conventions: Various concepts and conventions of accounting affect the values of assets and liabilities as shown in the Balance Sheet. Similarly profit or loss disclosed by Profit and Loss Account is also affected by these concepts and conventions.

2. Effect of personal judgments: The financial statements are infiluenced, to a certain extent, by the personal judgements of the accountant.

3. Recording only monetary transactions: Financial statements record only those transations and events which can be expressed in terms of money. But there are many factors which are qualitative in nature and cannot be expressed in terms of money. But there are many factors which BNMIT
34

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT are qualitative in nature and cannot be expressed in monetary terms. These nonmonetary factors do not find any place in the financial statement.

4. Historical in nature: Financial statements disclose data which is basically historical in nature i.e., it tells what has happened in the past. These statements do not give future projections.

5. Ignores human resources: No business can prosper without an efficient work force, but financial statements do not include human resources which is a very important asset for a business.

6. Ignores social costs: Apart from earning a fair return on investments, a business has certain social responsibilities. Financial statements do not make any attempt to show the social cost of its activities.

Principal tools of analysis


In the analysis of financial statements, the analyst has number of tools from which he has to choose best suited for his specific purpose. The following are the principal tools of analysis of financial statements. 1. Comparative Financial Statements. Comparison of financial statements is one of the very important tool of analysis of financial statements. It has been seen that Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account are the two most important financial statements. Information obtained in these financial statements for a particular year is extremely important and useful. However, such information becomes still more useful if it is compared with the data shown in the financial statements of the previous few years. Such comparison of financial statements is accomplished by setting up Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account of two or more years side by side and studying the changes that have occurred in the individual figures therein from year to year and over the years. Thus, comparison of BNMIT
35

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT financial statements means financial statements of a company for any year are compared with financial statements of the same company for earlier years. Comparative financial statements take the form of:

Comparative balance sheet Comparative profit and loss account

2. Common Size Statements: Common size statement is a type of comparative financial statement in which each item of the financial statement is expressed as a percentage of the appropriate total. The appropriate total is taken as 100% and each item is shown as a proportion of this 100%. Such a statement is also known as 100% Statement or Vertical analysis. It should be noted that when a comparative statement is prepared for a number of years to show the trend, it is known as horizontal analysis. A common size statement may be prepared for balance sheet as well as income statement.

3. Trend Percentages: Trend percentages is a technique of studying financial statements of a company over a number of years. Under this method, a representative year is selected as the base year and the values of items in the base year are assumed to be 100. Then the relationship of each item in the subsequent years is expressed as a percentage of the same item in the base year. This means, when an item is expressed as 100, all other values expressed in term of the base year will reflect in trend, upward or downward, in relation to 100. Any year may be taken as the base but generally the starting or initial year is taken as the base year. Trend percentages may be used for both Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account.

4. Cash flow statement: It is the statement which describes the inflows (sources) and outflows(uses) of cash and cash equivalents in an enterprise during a specified period of time. It summaries

It is the technique of analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It is the process of establishing and interpreting various ratios for helping in making certain decisions.

Ratio analysis is widely used tool in financial performance evaluation. It is defined as the systematic use of ratios to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Meaning of Ratio Analysis


Ratio Analysis is a very powerful and most commonly used tool of analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It concentrates on the inter-relationship among the figures appearing in the financial statements. Ratio analysis helps to analyze the past performance of the company and to make future projections. It allows various interested parties like management, shareholders, potential investors, creditors, government and other analysts to make an evaluation of the various aspects of companys performance from their own point of view and interest.

In other words, a ratio is simply one number expressed in terms of another number. It expresses a mathematical relationship between one number and another. In financial analysis, a ratio is used as an index or yardstick for evaluating the financial performance of a firm.

Interpretation of Ratios
Broadly speaking, ratios may be interpreted in four different ways as follows: 1. An individual ratio may have significant of its own. For example, a ratio of 25% of net profit on capital employed shows a satisfactory return. 2. Ratios may be interpreted by making comparison over time. For example, ratio of net profit on capital employed is 25%. This ratio may be compared with same ratio of a number of past years. Such a comparison will indicate the trend of rise, decline or stability of the profitability. 3. Ratios of any one firm may be compared with ratios of other firms in the same industry. This is known as inter-firm comparison. Such a comparison shows the efficiency of a firm as compared to other firms. 4. Ratios may be interpreted by considering a group of several related ratios. For example, the utility of current ratio is enhanced if it is used along with other related ratios like quick ratio or acid test ratio, stock turnover ratio, etc. Similarly, various profitability ratios may be considered in relation to each other.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Classification of Ratios
Ratios may be classified as given below:

(A) Classification according to the nature of accounting statement from which the ratios are derived. 1. Balance Sheet Ratios: these ratios deal with the relationship between two items appearing in the balance sheet. Ex: current ratio, liquid ratio, debt equity ratio, etc. 2. Profit and Loss Account Ratio: This type of ratios show the relationship between two items which are in the profit and loss account itself. Ex: gross profit ratio, net profit ratio, operating ratio, etc. 3. Combined or Composite Ratios: These ratios show the relationship between items one of which is taken from Profit and Loss Account and the other from the Balance Sheet. Ex: Rate of return on capital employed, debtors turnover ratio, stock turnover ratio, capital turnover ratio, etc.

(B) Classification from the point of view of financial management or objective 1. Liquidity Ratios 2. Capital Structure Ratios 3. Turnover Ratios 4. Profitability Ratios

1. Liquidity Ratios Liquidity means ability of a firm to meet its current liabilities. The liquidity ratios, therefore, try to establish a relationship between current liabilities, which are the obligations soon becoming due and current assets, which presumably provide the source from which these obligations will be met. In other words, the liquidity ratios answer the question: Will the company probably be able to meet its obligations when they become due? The following ratios are commonly used to indicate the liquidity of business.

BNMIT

42

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT a. Current Ratio (Working Capital Ratio) This ratio is most commonly used to perform the short-term financial analysis. Also known as the working capital ratio, this ratio matches the current assets of the firm to its current liabilities. Current Ratio = Current Assets Current Liabilities Current ratio throws light on the short-term financial position and policy. It is an indicator of a firms ability to promptly meet its short-term liabilities. Normally, a current ratio of 2:1mis considered satisfactory.

b. Quick Ratio This ratio is also known as acid test ratio or liquid ratio. It is a more severe test of liquidity of a company. It shows the ability of a business to meet its immediate financial commitments. It is used to supplement the information given by the current ratio. Quick Ratio = Quick (or Liquid) Assets Quick Liabilities Quick ratio is a more rigorous test of liquidity of a firm than the current ratio. When quick ratio is used along with current ratio, it gives a better picture of the firms ability to meet its short-term liabilities out of its short-term assets. This ratio is of great importance for banks and financial institutions. Generally, a quick ratio of 1:1 is compared to represent a satisfactory current financial position. c. Absolute Liquid Ratio This is also known as super quick ratio or cash ratio. Absolute Liquidity Ratio = Cash in hand and at bank + Short-term Marketable Securities Current Liabilities In calculating this ratio, both inventories and receivables are deducted from current assets to arrive at absolute liquid assets such as cash and easily marketable investments in securities. Higher the ratio, the higher is the cash liquidity. A low

BNMIT

43

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ratio is not a serious matter because the company can always borrow from the bank for short-term requirements. 2. Capital Structure Ratios or Gearing Ratios They are also called as long-term solvency ratios or leverage ratios. These are used to analyze the long-term solvency of any particular business concern. There are two aspects of long term solvency of the firm. (i) ability to repay the principal amount when due, and (ii) regular payment of interest. In other words, long term creditors like debenture holders, financial institution etc., are interested in the security of their loan amount as well as the ability of the company to meet interest costs.

a. Debt-Equity Ratio: This ratio attempts to measure the relationship between long-term debts and shareholders funds. In other words, this ratio measures the relative claims of long-term creditors on the one hand and owners on the other hand, on the assets of the company. This ratio is calculated by any of the two methods: Method I: Debt-Equity Ratio = Long term debts Shareholders funds Method II: Debt-Equity Ratio = Total debts (short-term + long-term) Shareholders funds The debt-equity ratio of 1:1 is generally acceptable. This ratio also indicates the extent to which a company has to depend upon outsiders for its financial requirements.

b. Proprietary Ratio: This is a variant of debt-equity ratio. It measures the relationship between shareholders funds and total assets. Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders funds Total Assets

BNMIT

44

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT Shareholders funds comprise of ordinary share capital, preference share capital and all items of reserves and surplus. Total assets include all tangible assets and only those intangible assets which have a definite realizable value. This ratio shows the extent to which shareholders own the business and thus indicates the general strength of the business.

c. Interest Coverage Ratio: This is also called as Debt Service Ratio or Fixed Charges Cover. This ratio indicates whether the business earns sufficient profit to pay periodically the interest charges. Interest coverage ratio = EBIT Fixed interest charges This ratio is very important from lenders point of view because it indicates the ability of a company to pay interest out of its profits. This ratio also indicates the extent to which the profits of the company may decrease without affecting the ability to meet its interest obligations. The standard for this ratio for an industrial company is that interest charges should be covered 6 to 7 times. d. Debt to Total Funds Ratio: This ratio shows the relationship between debts and total funds employed in the business.

Debt to Total Funds Ratio =

Debt Total Funds

The term debt includes long-term loans and current liabilities like sundry creditors, bills payable, bank overdraft, outstanding expenses, etc. Total funds employed include shareholders funds, long-term loans and current liabilities. This ratio shows the proportion of funds supplied by outsiders in the total funds employed in the business. The lower this ratio, the better it is for creditors because they are more secure and vice-versa, higher this ratio it gives a feeling of insecurity to the creditors.

BNMIT

45

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT e. Capital Gearing Ratio: This is the ratio between the fixed interest bearing securities and equity share capital. Fixed income securities include debentures and preference share capital. Capital Gearing Ratio = Fixed income securities Equity shareholders fund A company is highly geared if this ratio is more than one. If it is less than one, it is low geared. If the ratio is exactly one, it is evenly geared. A highly geared company has the advantage of trading on equity. 3. Turnover Ratios Turnover ratios are used to indicate the efficiency with which assets and resources of the firm are being utilized. These ratios are known as turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being converted or turned over into sales. These ratios, thus, express the relationship between sales and various assets. A higher turnover ratio generally indicates better use of capital resources which in turn has a favorable effect on the profitability of the firm. a. Inventory turnover Ratio: This is also called as Stock turnover Ratios. This ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by average inventory.

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of Goods Sold Average Stock Where, Cost of goods sold = Sales Gross Profit This ratio, thus, establishes the relationship between the cost of goods sold during a given period and the average amount of stock carried during the period. It indicates the efficiency of a firms inventory management. b. Debtors Turnover Ratio: It is also called as Receivables Turnover Ratio. This ratio indicates the relationship between net credit sales and trade debtors. It shows the rate at which cash is generated by the turnover of debtors.

BNMIT

46

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT Debtors Turnover Ratio = Credit Sales Average Debtors The term debtors include trade debtors and bills receivables. Doubtful debts are not deducted from debtors. A higher DTR indicates that debts are being collected more quickly.

c. Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio: This ratio indicates the efficiency with which the firm is utilizing its investments in fixed assets such as plant and machinery, land and building etc. Fixed assets Turnover = Sales (or Cost of Sales) Net Fixed Assets The term net fixed assets means depreciated value of fixed assets. A high ratio indicates efficient utilization of fixed assets in generating sales and a low ratio may signify that the firm has an excessive investment in fixed assets.

d. Working Capital Turnover Ratio: This ratio indicates the efficiency or inefficiency in the utilization of working capital in making sales. Working capital turnover = Sales (or Cost of Sales) Net Working Capital The term net working capital means current assets minus current liabilities. A high working capital turnover ratio shows the efficient utilization of working capital in generating sales. A low ratio, on the other hand, may indicate excess of net working capital.

e. Capital Turnover Ratio: This ratio shows the relationship between cost of sales (or sales) and the total capital employed. Capital Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales (or sales) Total Capital Employed

BNMIT

47

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT Where, Total capital employed = Equity capital + Preference Capital + Reserves + Debentures + Long-term Loans Fictitious Assets Non operating Investments This ratio shows the efficiency with which capital employed in a business is used. A high capital turnover ratio indicates the possibility of greater profit and a low capital turnover ratio is a sign of insufficient sales and possibility of lower profits.

f. Creditors Turnover Ratio: This ratio is also known as Payables Turnover Ratio. It measures the relationship between credit purchases and average accounts payable. Creditors turnover ratio = Net Credit Purchases Average accounts payable Accounts payable include creditors and bills payable. 4. Profitability Ratios These ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency of a business. Profitability of a business may be measured in two ways:

(i) (ii)

Profitability in relation to sales Profitability in relation to investment

Profitability in relation to sales indicates the amount of profit per rupee of sales. Similarly, profitability in relation to investment indicates the amount of profit per rupee invested in assets. (i) Profitability based on sales: a. Gross Profit Ratio: This ratio expresses the relationship between gross profit and sales. Gross profit ratio = Gross Profit Net Sales It indicates the average margin on the goods sold. It shows whether the selling prices are adequate or not. It also indicates the extent to which selling prices may be reduced without resulting in losses. x 100

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT b. Net Profit Ratio: There are two variations of this ratio: Net Operating Profit Ratio: This is the ratio of net operating profit to net sales. Net Operating Profit Ratio = Net operating profit Net Sales Net Profit Ratio: This is the ratio of net profit to net sales. Net Profit Ratio = Net profit Net sales c. Operating Ratio: This is also an important profitability ratio. This ratio explains the relationship between COGS and operating expenses on the one hand and net sales on the other. Operating Ratio = COGS + Operating Expenses Net Sales (ii) Profitability Ratios based on Investments a. Return on Investments (ROI): This is the most important test of profitability of a business. It is also called as return on capital employed (ROCE). It measures the overall profitability. It is ascertained by comparing profit earned and capital (or funds) employed to earn it. ROI = EBIT Capital Employed x 100 x 100 x 100 x 100

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT b. Return on Equity (ROE): This ratio has two variations: Return on Proprietors Equity: This is also known as Return on shareholders funds. It shows the ratio of net profit to owners equity. Return on Proprietors Equity = Net Profit after taxes and interest Shareholders Funds x 100

Return on Equity Capital: This ratio establishes the relationship between the net profit available to equity shareholder and the amount of capital invested by them. Return on Equity Capital = Net Profit after taxes and interest and preference dividend Equity Shareholders funds x 100

c. FINDINGS OF THE STUDY


The study helped to find out various ratios of the company. The analysis of profits and losses from comparative statements which includes both balance sheet and profit and loss account. Common Size statements help to know the analytical percentages of the firm. The Current ratio of the firm for the years 2006-07 to 2009-10 is less than the ideal ratio of 2 : 1, as this ratio is very less, if indicates that the firm will find it difficult to pay its bills and other current liabilities. The Quick ratio of the company is less in the year 2008-09, that is, 0.89 which is less than the ideal ratio of 1 : 1 and is higher than the ideal ratio in other years. This indicates that the business may find itself in serious financial difficulties, as this ratio is of great importance for banks and other financial institutions. The Absolute Liquid Ratio is high in all the years. The acceptable norm for this ratio is 50% or 0.5 : 1. The ratio is quite satisfactory because it is much higher than the rule of thumb, i.e., 0.5. As the absolute liquidity ratio of the firm is higher, the cash position of the firm is higher. The Debt Equity ratio is higher than the ideal ratio of 1 : 1 in all the years. This ratio indicates that the claims of the creditors are greater than those of owners. From the point of view of the company, the lower this ratio, the less the company has to worry in meeting its fixed obligations. This ratio also indicates the extent to which a company has to depend upon outsiders for its financial requirements. As equity ratio represents the relationship of owners funds to total assets, the proprietary ratio of the firm is 38.31%. The Fixed Assets to long term funds ratio indicates the extent to which the total of fixed assets is financed by the long-term funds of the firm, which is 83.66%. The inventory turnover ratio is very high, which needs to be brought down in order to avoid wastage. The gross profit margin indicates the average margin on the goods sold. The high ratio indicates the relatively lower cost and is a good sign for the company. BNMIT
