USERS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
There are different users of financial statement analysis. These can be classified
into internal and external users. Internal users refer to the management of the
company who analyzes financial statement in order to make decisions related to
the operations of the company. On the other hand, external users do not
necessarily belong to the company but still hold some sort of financial interest.
These include owners, investors, creditors, government, employees, customers,
and the general public. These users are elaborated on below:
1. Management
The managers of the company use their financial statement analysis to make
intelligent decisions about their performance. For instance, they may gauge
cost per distribution channel, or how much cash they have left, from their
accounting reports and make decisions from these analysis results.
2. Owners
Small business owners need financial information from their operations to
determine whether the business is profitable. It helps in making decisions like
whether to continue operating the business, whether to improve business
strategies or whether to give up on the business altogether.
3. Investors
People who have purchased stock or shares in a company need financial
information to analyze the way the company is performaing. They use
financial statement analysis to determine what to do with their investments in
the company. So depending on how the company is doing, they will either
hold onto their stock, sell it or buy more.
4. Creditors
Creditors are interested in knowing if a company will be able to honor its
payments as they become due. They use cash flow anlaysis of the company’s
accounting records to measure the company’s liquidity. Or its ability to make
short-term payments.
5. Government
Governing and regulating bodies of the state look at financial statement
analysis to determine how the ecomony is performing in general so they can
plan their financial and industrial policies. Tax authorities also analyze a
company’s statement to calculate the tax burden that the company has to pay.

16
6. Employees
Employees need to know if their employment is secure and if there is a
possibility of a pay raise. They want to be abreast of their company’s
profitability and stability. Employees may also be interested in knowing the
company’s financial position to see whether there may be plans for expansion
and hence, career prospects for them.
7. Customers
Customers need to know about ability of the company to service its clients
into the future. The need to know about the company’s stability of operations
is heightened if the customer (i.e. a distributor or procurer of specialized
products) is dependent wholly on the company for its supplies.
8. General Public
Anyone in the general public, like students, analysis and researchers, may be
interested in using a company’s financial statement analysis . They may wish
to evaluate the effects of the firm on the environment, or the economy is
running corporate social responsibility programs for improving the
community, the public may want to be aware of the future operations of the
company.

FINANCIAL PRODUCTS:
Types of financial products

• Shares: These represent ownership of a company. While shares are

initially issued by corporations to finance their business needs, they are
subsequently bought and sold by individuals in the share market. They
are associated with high risk and high returns. Return on shares can be
in the form of dividend payouts by the company or profits on the sale
of shares in the stockmarket. Shares, stocks, equities and securities are
words that are generally used interchangeably.

• Bonds: These are used by companies to finance their business

operations and by governments to fund budget expenses like
infrastructure and social programs. Bonds have a fixed interest rate,

17

principal or face value of bonds is recovered at the time maturity.

• Treasury Bills: These are instruments issued by the government for

financing its short term needs. They are issued at a discount to the face
value. The profit earned by the investor is the difference between the
face or maturity value and the price at which the Treasury Bill was
issued.

• Options: Options are rights to buy and sell shares. An option holder
does not actually purchase shares, Instead, he purchases the rights on
the shares.

• Mutual Funds: These are professionally managed financial

instruments that involve the diversification of investment into a number
of financial products, such as shares, bonds and government securities.
This helps to reduce an investor’s risk exposure, while increasing the
profit potential.

banks, thrift institutions and credit unions. They usally have a fixed term
and fixed interest rate.

• Annuities: These are contracts between individual investors and

insurance companies, where investors agree to pay an allocated amount

DATA ANALYSIS
AND
INTERPRETATION

22
2.1 FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS:
Financial statement analysis (or financial analysis) is the process of reviewing
and analyzing a company's financial statements to make better economic
decisions. These statements include the income statement, balance sheet,
statement of cash flows, and a statement of changes in equity. Financial statement
analysis is a method or process involving specific techniques for evaluating risks,
performance, financial health, and future prospects of an organization.
It is used by a variety of stakeholders, such as credit and equity investors, the
government, the public, and decision-makers within the organization. These
stakeholders have different interests and apply a variety of different techniques to
meet their needs. For example, equity investors are interested in the longterm
earnings power of the organization and perhaps the sustainability and growth of
dividend payments. Creditors want to ensure the interest and principal is paid on
the organizations debt securities (e.g., bonds) when due.
Common methods of financial statement analysis include fundamental analysis,
DuPont analysis, horizontal and vertical analysis and the use of financial ratios.
Historical information combined with a series of assumptions and adjustments to
the financial information may be used to project future performance. The
Chartered Financial Analyst designation is available for professional financial
analysts.

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ANALYSIS:

• Horizontal analysis compares financial information over time, typically from
past quarters or years. Horizontal analysis is performed by comparing financial
data from a past statement, such as the income statement. When comparing this
past information one will want to look for variations such as higher or lower
earnings.
• Vertical analysis is a percentage analysis of financial statements. Each line item
listed in the financial statement is listed as the percentage of another line item.
For example, on an income statement each line item will be listed as a percentage
of gross sales. This technique is also referred to as normalization or common-
sizing.

23
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HDFC BANKS:
A: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION&ANALYSIS:
• Macroeconomic and Industry Developments
India’s economy recorded a growth rate of 7.6 per cent in terms of real Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) in 2015-16. This was the highest in five years despite
the continued slowdown in global growth and two consecutive years of deficient
monsoons in India. Inflation moderated, with the average level of Consumer Price
Inflation declining to 5 per cent in 2015-16 from 6 per cent in 2014-15. Domestic
manufacturing growth improved to a robust 9.5 per cent compared to 5.5 per cent
in financial year 2014-15. It reflects stronger value addition due to subdued input
prices, which was a result of the declining global commodity cycle. Foreign
Direct Investment inflows (FDI) increased by 40 per cent in the April-December
period of 2015 over the corresponding period of the previous year.
A range of supply side measures, including prudent food stock management,
appropriate monetary policy action and subdued global commodity prices aided
the decline in inflation. Meanwhile, initiatives such as ‘Make in India, power
sector reforms, the liberalization of FDI rules and higher government capital
expenditure spending indicate an incipient revival in domestic investment
activity.
Going forward, weakness in private investment cycle and asset quality strain in
the banking sector could prevent a full-fledged recovery, though some
improvement in the growth rate is quite likely. Risks on the external front
continue to loom in the form of a wider emerging market slowdown, especially
on account of China and the likely volatility in global financia l markets.
The growth inflation mix should improve for 2016-17 as the Government is
expected to undertake more structural reforms and the RBI is likely to be more
accommodative in its monetary policy. Going by the Union Budget, the focus of
fiscal policy in the coming year will be the revival of rural economy and sustained
increase in capital expenditure. Besides, higher outlay on various social sector
programmes and implementation of Seventh Central Pay Commission
recommendations should boost consumption spending. Going forward, headline
GDP growth should increase to 7.8 per cent in 2016-17 from 7.6 per cent in 2015-
16.

DATA ANALYSIS

This chapter deals with data analysis and interpretation. The outcome of rhe
present study yields significant findings of HDFC Bank.
Some of the major ratio has been evaluated and interpreted for the purpose of
understanding the financial performance of the bank.
The following analysis shows the company’s performance during 2019 to 2021.
This analysis will help to understand the HDFCs past and current financial
position.

2.2 SHORT TERM SOLVENCY RATIO

These ratios measure the liquidity position of a firm. Liquidity ratios show the
relationship between a firm’s cash and other current assets to its current liabilities.
A liquid assets is one that can be eaisly converted to cash without significant loss
of its original value. Converting assets, especially cuurent assets such as
inventory and receivable to cash is the primary means by which a firm obtains
the hinds needed to pay its current bills. Liquidity ratio is particulary increasing
to short-term creditors.

2.2.1 CURRENT RATIO

An indication of a company’s ability to meet the short-term obligations, the higher

the ratio, the more liquid the company is. Current ratio establishes the relationship
between current assets and current liability. A current asset is calculated by
dividing the current assets by current liabilities. It measures the short-term
financial condition of the bank. If the current assets of a company are more than
twice the current liabilities, then the company is generally considered to have
good short-term financial strength. The purpose of this current ratio is to give the
bank the ability to pay off its short-term. The ratio is considered desirable in the
ratio 2:1.

In table 2.1, shows that current ratio was 0.94 in 2019. It was decreased
to 0.39 in 2020 as well as 2021. This shows that current ratio was not
observed in 2.1 during any year.

26
 2.2.2 LIQUID RATIO

Liquid ratio is also known as ‘quick’ or ‘acid test ratio.’ Liquid test refers
to assets which are quickly convertible into cash. Current assets, other
stock and prepaid expenses are considered as quick assets. The quick ratio
is calculated by deducting inventories from current assets and then dividing
the remaining by current liabilities. It measures the short-term financial
condition of the bank.

Quick assets =Total Assets /Total current liabilities

2.3 LONG-TERM SOLVENCY RATIO

2.3.1 Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio (FAT)

It is also called as Sales to Fixed Assets Ratio. It measures the efficient use
of fixed assets. This ratio is a measure of efficient use of fixed assets, it is
calculated as:

Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio= Cost of goods sold or Sales / Net Fixed
Assets

It measures the efficiency and profit earning capacity of the business. High
the ratio, greater is the intensive utilization of fixed assets and a lower ratio
shows under utilization of fixed assets. This ratio has a special importance
for manufacturing concerns where investment in fixed assets is very high
and the profitability is significantly dependent on the utilization of these
assets. It reveals how efficient company is at generating sales from its
existing fixed assets. A higher rate of fixed assets turnover implies that
management is using its fixed assets more effectively. A higher FAT does
not tell anything about a company’s ability to generate solid profits or cash
flows.

2.3.2 Debt Equity Ratio

Theses ratios show the relationship between long-term debt and shareholders
fund. Mainly it is calculated to assess the financial soundness of long-term
policicies and to determine the relative shares of outsiders and shareholders.

A high debt equity shows the highest claims of creditors over assets of the firm
than those of shareholders. A high ratio reveals an unfavorable position of the
company. A low debt equity indicates lesser claim of creditors and a higher
margin is safe for them. The standard norm of this ratio 2:1 is satisfactory.

STUDY OF A BALANCE SHEET
MEANING:-
The balance sheet is one of the three fundamental financial statements and is key
to both financial modeling and accounting. The balance sheet displays the
company’s total assets, and how these assets are financed, through either debt or
equity. It can also sometimes be referred to as a statement of net worth, or a
statement of financial position. The balance sheet is based on the fundamental
equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity
7 Tips For Reading A Balance Sheet

Reading The Balance Sheet

A Balance sheet, also known as a “statement of financial position,” reveals a
company’s assets, liabilities and owners’ equity (net worth). The balance sheet ,
together with the income statement and cash flow statement, make up the
cornerstone of any company’s financial statements. If you are a shareholder of a
company, it is important that you understand how the balance sheet is structured,
how to analyze it and how to read it.
The Balance Sheet Equation
The main formula behind balance sheets is: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder’s
Equity
A company has to pay for all the things it owns (assets) by either borrowing
money (taking on liabilities) or taking it from investors (issuing shareholders’
equity). Total assets must equal the liabilities plus the equity of the company .
Know the Current Assets
Current assets have a life span of one year or less, meaning they can be converted
easily into cash. Such assets classes include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and inventory. Cash the most fundamental of current assets, also
includes non-restricted bank accounts and cheques. Cash equivalents are very
safe assets that can be readily converted into cash; U.S. Treasuries are one such
example. Account receivables consist of the short-term obligations owed to the
company by its clients. Companies often sell products or services to customers
on credit; these obligations are considered as current assets. When a client pays,
there’s a transaction from accounts receivables to cash.
Know the Non-Current Assets

33
Non-Current assets are company long-term investments where the full value will
not be realized within the accounting year. They can refer to tangible assets such
as machinery, computer, buildings and land. Non-current assets can also ne
intangible, such as goodwill, patents or copyrights. While these assets are not
physcial in nature, they are often the resources that can make or break a company
:- for example the value of a brand name. Depreciation is calculated and deducted
from most of these assets, which represents the economic cost of the asset over
its useful life.
Learn the Different Liabilities
On the other side of the balance sheet equation are the liabilities. These are the
financial obligations a company owes to outside parties. Like assets, they can be
both current and long-term. Long -term liabilities are debts and other non-debt
financial obligations which are due after a period of a least one year from the date
of the balance sheet. Current liabilities are the company’s liabilities which will
come due, or must be paid, within one year. This includes both short-term
borrowings, such as the latest interest payment on a 10-year loan.
Learn about Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity is the initial amount of money invested into a business. If,
at the end of the fiscal year, a company decides to reinvest its net earnings into
the company (after taxes), these retained earnings will be transferred from the
income statement onto the balance sheet into the shareholder’s equity account.
This account represents a company a company’s total net worth. In order for the
balance sheet to balance, total assets on one side have to equal total liabilities plus
shareholders’ equity on the other.
Analyze With Ratios
Financial ratio analysis uses formulas to gain insight into the cmpany and its
operations. For the balance sheet, using financial ratios (like the debt-to-equity
ratio) can show you a better idea of the company’s financial condition along with
its operational efficiency. It is important to note that some ratios will need
information from more than one financial statement, such as from the balance
sheet and the income statement.

CURRENT ASSETS:-
The term current assets represents all the assets of a company that are expected
to be conveniently sold, consumed, utilized or exhausted through the standard
business operations which can lead to their conversion to a cash value over the
next one year. Since current assets is a standard item appearing in the balance
sheet, the time horizon represesnts one year from the date shown in the heading
of the company’s balance sheet. Current assets include cash, cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, stock inventory, marketable securities, prepaid liabilities and
other liquid assets. In a few jurisdicitions, the term is also known as current
accounts.
The term contrasts with long-term assets, which represent the assets that cannot
be feasily turned into cash in the space of a year. They generally include land,
facilities, equipment, copyrights, and other illiquid investments.
Key Components of Current Assets
While cash, cash equivalents and liquid investments in marketable securities (like
interest bearing short term Treasury bills or bonds) remain the obvious inclusion
in current assets, the following are also included in current assets.
Accounts receivable
Which represents the money due to a company for goods or services delivered or
used but not yet paid for by customers, are considered current as long as they can
be expected to be paid within a year. If a business is making sales by offering
longer terms of credit to its customers, a portion of its accounts receivables may
not qualify for inclusion in current assets. It is also possible that some accounts
may never be paid in full. This consideration is reflected in an allowance for
doubtful accounts, which is subtracted from accounts receivable. If an account is
never collected, it is written down as a bad debt expense, and such entries are not
considered for current assets.
Inventory
Which represents raw materials, components and finished products, is included
as current assets, but the consideration for this item may need some careful
thought. Different accounting methods can be used to inflate inventory, and at
times it may not be as liquid as other current assets depending on the product and
the industry sector. For example, there is little or no guarantee that dozen units of
a high-cost heavy earth moving equipment may be sold for sure over the next
year, but there is a relatively higher chance of succcessful sale of a thousand
umbrella in the coming rainy season. Inventory may not be as liquid as account

35
receivables, and it block the working capital. If the demand shifts unexpectedly,
which is more common in some industries than others, inventory can become
backlogged.
Prepaid expenses
Which represent advance payments made by a company for goods and services
to be received in the future, are considerd current assets. Though they cannot be
converted into cash, they are the payments which are already taken care of Such
components free up the capital for other uses. Prepaid expenses could include
payments to insurance companies or contractors.
On the balance sheet, current assets will normally be displayed in order of
liquidity, that is the items which have higher chance and convenience of getting
converted into cash will be ranked higher. The typical order in which the
constituents of current assets may appear is cash (including currency, checking
accounts, and petty cash), short term investments (like liquid marketable
securities), accounts receivable, inventory, supplies and prepaid expenses.
Current Assets Formula and Example
The current assets formula is a simple summation of all the assets that can be
converted to cash within one year.
Current Assets = Cash + Cash Equivalents + Inventory +Accounts
Receivables + Marketable Securities + Prepaid Expenses + Other Liquid
Assets

Ratios using Current Assets or their Components

Owing to different attributes attached to the business operations, different
accounting methods and payment cycles. It often becomes a challenging exercise
to correctly categorize what all components can be termed as assets over a given
time horizon. The following ratios are commonly used to measure a cpmapny’s
liquidity position with each one using a different number of asssets components
against the current liabilities of a company.
The current ratio measure a company’s ability to pay short-term and long-term
obligations and takes into account the current total assets (both liquid and illiquid)
of a company relative to the current liabilities.
The quick ratio measures a company’s ability to meet its short-term obligations
with its most liquid assets. It considers cash and equivalents, marketable

36
securities and accounts receivables (but not the inventory) against the current
liabilities.
The cash ratio measures the ability of a company to pay off all its short-term
liabilities immediately, and is calculated by dividing the cash and cash
equivalents by current liabilities.
While the cash ratio is the most conservative one as it takes only cash and cash
equivalents into consideration, the current ratio is the most accommodating and
includes a wide variety of components for consideration as assets. These various
measure are used to assess the company’s ability to pay outstanding debts and
cover liabilities and expenses without having to sell fixed assets.
NON CURRENT ASSETS:-
Non-current assets are company long-term investments where the full value will
not be realized within the accounting year. Example of non-current assets include
investments in other companies, intellectual property (e.g. patents), and property,
plant and equipment. Non-curent asets appear on a company’s balance sheet.
Other Non-current Assets
Other non-current assets include the cash surrender value of life insurance. A
bond sinking fund stablished for the future repayment of debt is classified as a
non-current aasets. Some deferred income taxes, goodwill, trademarks, and
unamortized bond issue costs are classified here as well
Prepaid Assets
Prepaid assets may be classified as non-current assets if the future benefit is not
to be received within one year. For example, if rent is prepaid for the next 24
months, 12 months is considered a current assets as the benefit will be used within
the year. The other 12 months are considered non-current as the benefit will not
be received until the following year.
LIABILITY:-
A liability is defined as a company’s legal financial debts or obligations that arise
during the course of business operations. Liabilities are settled over time through
the transfer of economic benefits including money, goods or services. Recorded
on the right side of the balance sheet, liabilities include loans, accounts payable,
mortages, deferred revenues and accured expenses.

37
Current versus Long-Term Liabilities
Business sort their liabilities into two categories: current and long-term. Current
liabilities are debts payable within one year, while liabilities are debts payable
over a longer period. For example if a business takes out a mortgage payable over
a 15-year period, that is a long-term liability. However, the mortgage payments
that are due during the current year are considered the current portion of long-
term debt and are recorded in the short-term liabilities section of the balance
sheet.
Ideally, analysts want to see that a company can pay current liabilities, which are
duet within a year, with cash. Some examples of short-term liabilities include
payroll expenses and accounts payable, which includes money owed to vendors,
monthly utilities, and similar expenses. In contrast, analsis want to see that long-
term liabilities can be paid with assets derived from future earnings or financing
transctions. Debt is not the only long-term liability companies incur. Items like
rent, deferred taxes, payroll, and pension obligations can also be listed under
long-term liabilities.
The Relationship between Liabilities and Assets
Assets are the things a company owns, and they include tangible items such as
buildings, machinery, and equipment as well as intangible items such as accounts
receivable, patents or intellectual property. If a business substract its liabilities
from its assets, the difference is its owner’s or stockholders’ equity. This
relationship can be expressed as assets - liabilities = owner’s equity. However, in
most cases, this equation is commonly presented as liabilities + equity = assets.

 Suggestions

✓ The company should increase the profit margin after the acquisition the
profit margin it’s continually lower then following years.
✓ 2014 tax ratio also increased the company should construct provision tax.
✓ The return on assets in HDFC Bank is in decreasing trend. The HDFC Bank
should take necessary steps to improve the return on assets.
✓ Before acquisition the borrowing is low but in the year2010 the borrowing
level of HDFC Bank it’s very high so HDFC Bank concentrates in this
regard.
✓ Bank should increase the rate of saving account.
✓ Bank should provide loan at the lower interest and education loans should
be given with ease without much documentation. All the banks must
provide loans against shares.
✓ Fair dealing with the customers. More contribution from the employee of
the bank. The staff be cooperative, friendly and must be capable of
understanding the problems of customers.
✓ Internet banking facility must be made available in all the banks.
✓ Bank should obey the RBI norm and provide facilities ass per the norms,
which are not being followed by the banks. While the customers must be
given propmt services and the bank officer should not have any fear on
mind to provide the facilities as per RBI norm to the units going sick.
✓ Prompt dealing with permanent customers and speedy transaction without
harrassing the customers.
✓ Each section of every bank should be computerized even in rural areas also.
✓ Real time gross settlement can play a very important role.
✓ More ATM coverage should be provided for the convenince of the
customers.
✓ Better inventory management is required because it is consistently
decreasing which is an obstacle be in competition.
✓ There are market leader but their nearest competitor is very close with
respect to market share. So it is necessary to utilize their resources in best
way.

3.3 Conclusion
Over the years the Indian Banking Sector through various phases. The first phase
is considered as the ‘infancy’ phase up to independence i.e. 1974. During this
time period banking system developed on the privatized basis. The total number
of commercial banks have been 648 with total deposits of Rs 1.80 crore, advances
of Rs 475 crore and Credit deposit ratio of 43.99 percent on the eve of
independence. For the development and growth of banking sector serval
important steps have been taken up such as nationalization of Reserve Bank of
India in 1948. Enactment of Banking Regulation Act in 1949, emergence of State
Bank of India in 1955 and its subsidiary banks during 1959-60 etc. In 1967 Indian
Government 338 initiated the scheme of social control and 14 major Indian
Scheduled Commercial Banks have been natioanlized. It have been reported that
73 scheduled commercial banks having total deposits of Rs. 4661 crore, advances
of Rs. 3599 crore and credit-deposit ratio of 77.5 percent on the eve of
nationalization. Nationalization of banks has been considered as one of the bold
and major steps in the process of banking sector reforms in India. As a result of
this Public Sector Banks control over 90 persent of banking business, Indian
banking structure emerged as strong and viable with rigorous control enforced by
the RBI during this period.
The post nationalization period has been earmarked with rapid branch expansion,
wide geographical pentration impressive growth in deposit mobilization as well
as in credit expansion. However, there have been serval adverse factors such as
high fixed and operating costs, organizational weakness, lack of internal control,
defective accounting policies, under capitalization, political interference etc.
which severely damaged productivity, profitability and efficiency of banking
sector. Since Independence Banking Sector has been dominated by Private Sector
Banks, 14 major scheduled banks were nationalized in the year 1969 and 6 more
were nationalized in the year 1980. But Reserve Bank of India has issued
guidelines immediately after liberalization, Privatization and a globalization.
Policy adopted by India in 1993 RBI has issued specific guidelines for Private
Banks. Today Private Sector Banks are comparatively performing better than
Public Sector Banks therefore the study is mainly focusing on three private banks
namely AXIS, HDFS and ICICI Bank for the period 2005-06 to 2014-15. The
following revelations have appeared: As Compare to Public Sector Bank, 47
Private Banks are having increasing trend for deposits as well as for the growth
of investment.
• Consolidation of players through mergers and acquisitions
• Development of new technology

LIMITATIONS:
✓ A company’s profitability, liquidity, solvency and efficiency may be
affected by numerous factors but in this research work the impact that
Financial Leverage has on them has been analysed.
✓ For this research work, the impact of Financial Leverage has been studied
with regard to the profitability, liquidity, solvency and efficiency of the
selected Indian companies from seven different industries. Financial
Leverage may have several other effects on a company which are beyond
the purview of this research.
✓ Field of study is limited to only Indian industries and the companies
belonging to them. There are so many other companies in foreign countries
which may be considered for analysis. But since the study is limited to
Indian industries, only Indian listed companies have been selected for the
study.
✓ Financial analysis is based on selected accounting ratios.
✓ The study covers only financial information and ignores completely
qualitative aspects. Hence performance valuation of the company from
qualitative aspects has been ignored.
✓ The accuracy of the study depends upon the accuracy of the financial data
of the respective company. Thus this study carries such limitation.
✓ For the research work primary and secondary data can be used but
considering the nature of this research work only secondary data areused.
✓ A Study is undertaken by individual researcher therefore all the limitation
of the individual researcher exists here also.
