INTRODUCTION

This chapter provides the framework and several tools to help us analyze companies and value
their securities. At this point, it is useful to imagine yourself as a specific user of financial statements.
To be able to analyze a company effectively or infer its value, it is important that one must understand
the company’s business activities .This can be accomplished through the financial statements
.Financial statements report on company’s performance and financial condition and reveal executive
management privilege information and insights.

CHAPTER OUTLINE

DEFINITION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

These are means by which the information accumulated and processed in financial accounting
is periodically communicated to the users. Stated differently FS are the end product or main output of
financial accounting purposes. These are structured financial representation of the financial position
and financial performance of an entity. FS are presented at least annually. When an entity’s end of
reporting period changes and FS are presented for a period longer or shorter than one year ,a n entity
shall disclose: (1) the period covered(2)the reason for using a period(3) the fact the amounts presented
in the FS are not entirely comparable. Management of an entity has the primary responsibility for the
preparation and presentation of FS of the entity. General Purpose FS are statements that have been
prepared for use by those who are not in a position to require an entity to prepare reports tailored to
their particular information needs.

6 COMPONENTS OF FS

1. Statement of Financial Position( Balance Sheet)


2. Statement of Financial Performance( Income statement)
3. Statement of comprehensive Income
4. Statement of Changes in Equity
5. Statement of Cash Flows
6. Notes comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes

GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The important objectives of financial statements are:
1. Providing Information for Economic Decision

MGT ACCTG-UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ITS ANALYSIS Page 1


The economic decisions that are taken by the users of financial statements require an
evaluation of the ability of an enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents, and the
timing and certainly of their generation.
2. Providing Information About Financial Position
The Financial position of an enterprise is affected by the economic resources such as:
a. Information about the economic resources controlled by the enterprises and its capacity
in the past to modify this resources is useful in predicting the ability of the enterprise to
generate cash and cash equivalent in the future.
b. Information about financial structure is useful in predicting future borrowing needs and
how future profits and cash flows will be distributed among those with an interest in the
enterprise.
c. Information is useful in predicting how successful the enterprise is likely to be in raising
further finance.
d. Information about liquidity and solvency is useful in predicting the ability of the
enterprise to meet the financial commitments as fall due. Liquidity refers to the
availability of cash in the near future after taking account of financial commitments and
solvency refers to the availability of cash over the longer term to meet financial
commitments as they fall due.
3. Providing Information About Performance of an Enterprise
Another important objectives of the financial statements is that, it provides information
about the performance and in particular its profitability, which is required in order to asses
potential changes in the economic resources that are likely to control in future.
4. Providing Information about Changes in Financial position
The financial statements provide information concerning changes in the financial position of
an enterprise, which is useful in order to assess its investing, financing and operating
activities during the operating period. This information is useful in providing the user with a
basis to assess the ability of the enterprise to utilize those cash flows.
DEMAND FOR FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
Decision makers and other stakeholders demand information on the company’s past and prospective
returns and risk to facilities efficient contracting and risk-sharing.
The broad classes of users that demand financial accounting information include the following:
1. Managers and Employees
2. Inventors and Analysts
3. Creditors and suppliers
4. Shareholders and Directors
5. Regulatory and Tax Agencies
6. Customers and Potential Strategic Partners
7. Other decision makers

SOURCES OF INFORMATION ABOUT BUSINESS ENTERPRISE


In general, the quantity and quality of accounting information that companies supply are
determined by manager’s assessment of the benefits and costs of disclosure. In the Philippines,
publicly listed companies must file financial accounting information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). These are;

1. The audited annual report that includes the four financial statements (Statements of Financial
Position [traditionally known as the balance sheet statement], Statement of Comprehensive
Income, Statement of Stockholders’ Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows) with explanatory
notes and the management’s discussion and analysis of financial results.
2. The unaudited quarterly or interim reports that include summary version of the four financial
statements and limited additional disclosure.

All other registered corporations and partnerships are likewise required to file annually audited
financial statements with accompanying explanatory notes with SEC.

CONSTRAINTS ON RELEVANT AND RELIABLE INFORMATION

1. Timeliness
If there is undue delay in the reporting of information, it may lose its relevance. Management
may need to balance the relative merits of timely reporting and the provision of reliable
information. To provide information on a timely basis, it may often be necessary to report
before all aspects of a transaction or other event are known, thus impairing reliability.
2. Balance Between Benefits and Cost
The balance between benefits and cost is a pervasive constraint rather than a qualitative
characteristics. The benefits derived from information should exceed the cost of providing it.
The evaluation of benefits and costs is however, substantially a judgmental process.
3. Balanced Between Qualitative Characteristics
In practice, a balancing or trade-off between qualitative characteristics is often more necessary.
Generally, the aim is to achieve an appropriate balance among the characteristics in order to

MGT ACCTG-UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ITS ANALYSIS Page 2


meet the objective of financial statements. The relative importance of the characteristics in
different causes is matter of professional judgment.
4. True Fair View of Fair Presentation
Financial statements are frequently described as showing a true and fair view of the financial
position, performance and changes in financial position of an enterprise. Although, this
framework does not deal directly with such concepts, the applications of the principal
qualitative characteristics and of appropriate accounting standards, normally results in
financial statements that convey what is generally understood as a true and fair view of such
information’s.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

USERS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS


The various users and uses of financial statement analysis follows:

 Managers

o To evaluate operations

o To control

o To plan and budget

o To anticipate future needs and problems

 Lenders

o To evaluate creditworthiness

 Investors

o To predict future earnings and cash flow

o To predict the company’s potential

Limitations of Financial Statement Analysis


 Dissimilar business units may make analysis difficult.

 Inflation can cause balance sheet items to be incomparable.

 Manipulation of ratios by management may occur.

 The choice of different generally accepted accounting principles can affect ratios and harm
comparability.

 Generalizations are difficult to make.

 Ratios are accounting data (some balance sheet information, e.g. fixed assets)

Common Financial Ratios


 Liquidity or Solvency Ratio

These ratios are an indication of the ability of the firm to meet the obligations as they arise. Liquidity
ratios include the following:

 Current ratio- this is the best single indicator of the company’s ability to meet short-term
obligations.

o In general, the higher the current ratio, the better.

Current Assets
Formula: Current ratio = ---------------------
Current liabilities
 Quick Or Acid test Ratio- This Indicate instant debt playing ability of the firm.

o Just like current, the higher the better.

Quick Assets*
Formula: Quick Ratio= -----------------------
Current Liabilities
*Quick Assets include cash, marketable securities and receivables

MGT ACCTG-UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ITS ANALYSIS Page 3


 Assets Management (Activity) Ratios
These ratios measure how effectively assets are managed.
 Inventory Turnover Ratio- This is an indication of the number of times inventory is restocked,
or “turned over”, during the period.
o The higher the ratio, the better.
o Sometimes ending inventory is used in the denominator, but the average is better.
o Ratios can be computed for different classes of inventory (raw materials, work-in
process, finished goods).
o Using LIFO during a period of inflation will raise this ratio.
Cost of Sales
Formula: -------------------------
Average Inventory

 Accounts Receivable Turnover- This is an indication of the efficiency of the collection process.
o The higher the ratio the better.

Credit Sales
Formula: -----------------
Average AR

 Number of Days of Inventory- this is a measure of the efficiency of inventory management. It


measures the average day’s inventory is held before sale.
o The lower the number of days, the better.

365 or 360 Average Inventory


Formula: ------------------- = -------------------------- x 365 or 360
Inventory TO Cost of Sales

 Number of Days Receivable- this is the average time to collect a receivable. It is a measure of
the efficiency of the collection process.
o The lower the number of days, the better.
o Also known as the “average collection period”.
365 or 360 Average AR
Formula: ----------------- = ------------------ x 365 or 360
Receivable Credit Sales
Turnover

Average AR
Alternate Computation = --------------------
AverageDaily
Sales

 Number of Days in Operating Cycle = Number of Days of Inventory + Average Collection Period.
o The period from the time cash is expended for inventory until the time the same is
collected from customers for sales of the same inventory.

Average Inventory Average AR


Formula: --------------------------- + --------------------- x 365
Cost of Sales Credit Sales

 Debt Management (Leverage) Ratios


o These ratios measure the extent of debt financing or “leverage”.
o Financial leverage is important because of the following reasons:
 Debt is usually the cheapest source of capital.
 Owners can maintain control by using funds via debt.
 Equity provides a “Margin of Safety” for creditors. Little equity relative to debt
will probably raise the cost of the debt due to the riskier nature of the loan.
 Leverage off debt will increase the return on owners’ equity.
o Debt to Equity Ratio- this is an indication of the degree of leverage used.
 The lower the ratio, the lower the risk involved.

Total Debt
Formula: ---------------
Total SHE

o Debt to Equity Ratio / Equity Ratio- debt to asset and equity ratios indicate the
proportion of assets financed via debt and equity, respectively.

Total Debt

MGT ACCTG-UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ITS ANALYSIS Page 4


Formula: Debt to Asset Ratio = -----------------
Total Assets

Shareholders’ Equity
Equity Ratio = -------------------------------
Total Assets
o Times Interest Earned- this measures the ability to meet interest obligations from
current earnings.

 The higher the ratio, the better.


 This is an example of a coverage ratio.
Earnings before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)
Formula: -----------------------------------------------------------
Interest Expense
 Fixed Charge Coverage- this measures the ability of a company to meet both interest and lease
obligations.

EBIT + Lease Obligations


Formula: -----------------------------------------
Interest + Lease Obligations

 Cash Flow Coverage- this is a more comprehensive coverage ratio that measures the ability to
meet financial requirements with currently generated cash flows.

Cash Inflows
Formula: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest + Preferred Dividends + Principal Payments
+ Lease before tax before tax
Payments

 Times Preferred Dividends Earned- this indicates how many times dividends paid to preferred
shareholders are earned.

Net Income
Formula: ----------------------------
Preferred Dividends
 Profitability Ratios
o These ratios measure income relative to some base.
o These are more general because profit is a result of many factors (operating decisions,
leverage, etc.)

o Net Profit Margin on sales- this measures “bottom line” net income per peso of sales.

 This ratio varies widely from one industry to another.


 It provides some measure of the ability to absorb cost increases or sales decline.

Net Income Available to Common Shareholders


Formula: -------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Sales

 Return on Common Equity- this ratio measures the rate of return on equity.
o The return can be increased through the use of “Positive Leverage” (more debt where
interest rate is less than return on equity).
o Net income available to common shareholders is generally net income less preferred
dividends.

Net Income available to common shareholders


Formula: -----------------------------------------------------------------
Average Common Equity

 Return on Assets- This ratio measures the rate of return on assets.

Net Income available to common shareholders


Formula: -----------------------------------------------------------------
Average Total Assets

 Market Value and Per Share Ratios


o These ratios relate the stock price, earnings and dividends on a per share basis.

MGT ACCTG-UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ITS ANALYSIS Page 5


o Like profitability ratios, these ratio are more general in nature and reflect investors’
appraisal of the company’s performance and prospects.
Market Price per Share
 Price/Earnings (P/E) Ratio= ------------------------------------------
Average Outstanding Shares

o These ratios are the main measurement tool of the financial markets in evaluating the
price of stock.
o Price-earnings ratios are based on historical earnings, but P/E ratios are higher for
companies with high growth prospects and/or low riskiness.

Market Price per Share


 Earnings Per Share= ------------------------------------------
Average Outstanding Shares
o For financial statement purposes, sometimes two EPS figures are required– “primary”
and “fully diluted”.

Dividend per Share


 Yield on Common Stock= ---------------------------------
Market Price per Share
o This measures the return on an investment in the stock, excluding any appreciation or
depreciation in the market price of the stock.
Dividends on Common Stock
 Dividend Payout Ratio= ----------------------------------------------------
Net Income less Preferred Dividend

o This ratio means the portion of the net income paid out as cash dividends to
shareholders.
o Most companies take a long term viewpoint and don’t adjust the dividend each year
with fluctuation in income.

Net Assets Available to Common Share


 Book Value per Share= -------------------------------------------------------
Common Shares Outstanding

oThe numerator is net equity less the amount needed to liquidate the preferred
shareholders’ interest.
o The denominator is generally the average common shares and common stock
equivalents.
 Common Size Financial Statements
o These are used to compare with other smaller or larger companies, or for the same
company overtime.
o To draft a common size Balance Sheet, simply divide each balance sheet amount by the
total assets.
 The result is each balance sheet component expressed as a percentage of the
whole.
 Total assets equal 100%
o To draft a common size income statement, simply divide each income statement amount
by the total revenue.
o Common size financial statements can be compared to industry norms or to industry
leaders.
FS ANALYSIS
Involves the evaluation of the firm’s past performance, present condition, and business potentials.
The analysis provides information about the following, among others:

 Profitability of the business firm

 Ability to meet company obligations

 Safety of investment in the business

 Effectiveness of management in running the firm

Financial Statements (FS) Analysis Tools and Techniques


1. Horizontal analysis (trend or index analysis)

2. Vertical analysis

3. Financial ratios

MGT ACCTG-UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ITS ANALYSIS Page 6


4. Gross profit variation analysis

5. Cash flow analysis

Horizontal Analysis
Horizontal or index analysis involves comparison of figures shown in the financial statements
or two or more consecutive periods. The difference of the amount between two periods is calculated,
and the percentage change from one period to the next is computed using the earlier period as the
base.

Percentage Change ( %) = Most Recent Value – Based Period Value


----------------------------------------------------------
Based Period Value

Comparisons can be made between an actual amount compared against a budgeted amount, with the
‘budget’ serving as the base or pattern of performance.

Limitation: If negative or a zero amount appears in the base year, percentage change cannot
be computed.

Vertical Analysis
Vertical analysis is the process of comparing figures in the financial statements of a single
period. It involves conversion of figures in the statements to a common base. This is accomplished by
expressing all figures in the statement as percentages of an important item such as total assets (in the
balance sheet) or net sales (in the income statement). These converted statements are called common
size statements or percentage composition statements.

Percentage composition statements are used for comparing:

1. Multiple years of data from the same firm

2. Companies that are different in size

3. Company to industry averages

Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is involves development of mathematical relationship among accounts in the
financial statements. Ratios calculated from these statements provide users and analysts with relevant
information about the firm’s liquidity, solvency, and profitability.

BASIC RULES ON RATIO CALCULATIONS


 When calculating a ratio using balance sweet sheet numbers only, the numerator and
numerator and denominator should be from the same balance sheet date. The same is true for
ratios using only income statement numbers. Exception: calculation of growth ratios.

 If an income statement account and a balance sheet account are both used to calculate a ratio,
the balance sheet account should be expressed as an average for the time period represented
by the income statement account.

 If the beginning balance of a balance sheet account is not available, the ending balance is
normally used to represent the average balance of the account.

 If sales and/or purchases are given without making distinction as to whether made in cash or
on credit, assumptions are made depending on the ratio being calculated.

o Turnover ratios: sales and purchases are made on credit.

o Cash flow ratios: sales and purchases are made in cash.

 Generally, the number of days in a month or year is not critical to the analysis: a year may
have 360 days, 52 weeks, and 12 months; alternatively, a year may be compromised of 365
calendar days, 300 working days or any appropriate number of days.

Financial Ratios

 Test of Liquidity (Liquidity refers to the company’s ability to pay its current liabilities as they
fall due.)

It is a measure of adequacy of

**These exclude depreciation, amortization, and other expenses related o long term assets.

 Tests of Solvency (Solvency refers to the ability of company to pay its debts)

These ratios involve leverage ratios. ‘Leverage’ refers to how much of company’s resources are financed
by debt and/or preferred equity, both of which require fixed payment of interest and dividends.

EBIT It determines the extent to which


Times Interest Earned ---------------------- operations cover interest expense.

Income Determines the portion of sales


Return on Sales -------------- that went into company’s
Net Sales earnings

Average Assets

What income figure should be used?

 If the attention is to measure operational performance, income is expressed as before interest


and tax; alternatively, income before after-tax interest may be used to exclude the effect of
capital structure.

 If the intention is to evaluate total managerial effort, income is expressed after interest and tax.

 The practice of expressing income after interest but before tax is now being discouraged.

 Income should include dividends and interest earned if the said investments are included in
asset base.

 If used in the DuPont technique, income must be after interest, tax and preferred stock
dividends.

Return on Equity = Return on Sales x Assets Turnover x Equity Multiplier

Return on Equity Income Measures the amount
