Introduction
Meaning of Financial Statement
Financial statements refer to such statements which contains financial information
about an enterprise. They report profitability and the financial position of the
business at the end of accounting period. The team financial statement includes at
least two statements which the accountant prepares at the end of an accounting
period. The two statements are: -
The Balance Sheet
Profit And Loss Account
They provide some extremely useful information to the extent that balance Sheet
mirrors the financial position on a particular date in terms of the structure of assets,
liabilities and owners equity, and so on and the Profit and Loss account shows the
results of operations during a certain period of time in terms of the revenues
obtained and the cost incurred during the year. Thus the financial statement provides
a summarized view of financial position and operations of a firm
Meaning of Financial Analysis
The first task of financial analysis is to select the information relevant to the decision
under consideration to the total information contained in the financial statement. The
second step is to arrange the information in a way to highlight significant relationship.
The final step is interpretation and drawing of inference and conclusions. Financial
statement is the process of selection, relation and evaluation.
Features of Financial Analysis
To present a complex data contained in the financial statement in simple and

understandable form.
To classify the items contained in the financial statement inconvenient and
rational groups.
To make comparison between various groups to draw various
conclusions.
Purpose of Analysis of financial statements
To know the earning capacity or profitability.
To know the solvency.
To know the financial strengths.
To know the capability of payment of interest & dividends.
To make comparative study with other firms.
To know the trend of business.
To know the efficiency of mgt.
To provide useful information to mgt
Tools of Financial Statement Analysis
Various tools are used to evaluate the significance of financial statement
data. Three commonly used tools are these:
Ratio Analysis
Funds Flow Analysis
Cash Flow Analysis

Ratio Analysis:
Fundamental Analysis has a very broad scope. One aspect looks at the general
(qualitative) factors of a company. The other side considers tangible and measurable
factors (quantitative). This means crunching and analyzing numbers from the
financial statements. If used in conjunction with other methods, quantitative analysis
can produce excellent results.
Ratio analysis isn't just comparing different numbers from the balance sheet, income
statement, and cash flow statement. It's comparing the number against previous
years, other companies, the industry, or even the economy in general. Ratios look at
the relationships between individual values and relate them to how a company has
performed in the past, and might perform in the future.
Meaning of Ratio:
A ratio is one figure express in terms of another figure. It is a mathematical yardstick
that measures the relationship two figures, which are related to each other and
mutually interdependent. Ratio is express by dividing one figure by the other related
figure. Thus a ratio is an expression relating one number to another. It is simply the
quotient of two numbers. It can be expressed as a fraction or as a decimal or as a
pure ratio or in absolute figures as “so many times”. As accounting ratio is an
expression relating two figures or accounts or two sets of account heads or group
contain in the financial statements.
Meaning of Ratio Analysis:
Ratio analysis is the method or process by which the relationship of items or group of
items in the financial statement are computed, determined and presented.
Ratio analysis is an attempt to derive quantitative measure or guides concerning the
financial health and profitability of business enterprises. Ratio analysis can be used

both in trend and static analysis. There are several ratios at the disposal of an
analyst but their group of ratio he would prefer depends on the purpose and the
objective of analysis.
While a detailed explanation of ratio analysis is beyond the scope of this section, we
will focus on a technique, which is easy to use. It can provide you with a valuable
investment analysis tool.
Objective of Ratios:
Ratios are worked out to analyze the following aspects of business organization-
A) Solvency-
1) Long term
2) Short term
3) Immediate
B) Stability
C) Profitability
D) Operational efficiency
E) Credit standing
F) Structural analysis
G) Effective utilization of resources
H) Leverage or external financing
Forms of Ratio:
Since a ratio is a mathematical relationship between two or more variables /
accounting figures, such relationship can be expressed in different ways as follows –
A] As a pure ratio:
For example the equity share capital of a company is Rs. 20, 00,000 & the
preference share capital is Rs. 5,00,000, the ratio of equity share capital to

preference share capital is
20,00,000: 5,00,000 = 4:1.
B] As a rate of times:
In the above case the equity share capital may also be described as 4 times that of
preference share capital. Similarly, the cash sales of a firm are Rs. 12,00,000 &
credit sales are Rs. 30,00,000. So the ratio of credit sales to cash sales can be
described as
2.5 [30,00,000/12,00,000] = 2.5 times are the credit sales that of cash sales.
C] As a percentage:
In such a case, one item may be expressed as a percentage of some other items.
For example, net sales of the firm are Rs.50,00,000 & the amount of the gross profit
is Rs. 10,00,000, then the gross profit may be described as
20% of sales [ 10,00,000/50,00,000]
Steps in Ratio Analysis
The ratio analysis requires two steps as follows:
1] Calculation of ratio
2] Comparing the ratio with some predetermined standards. The standard ratio may
be the past ratio of the same firm or industry‟s average ratio or a projected ratio or
the ratio of the most successful firm in the industry. In interpreting the ratio of a
particular firm, the analyst cannot reach any fruitful conclusion unless the calculated
ratio is compared with some predetermined standard. The importance of a correct
standard is oblivious as the conclusion is going to be based on the standard itself.

Based on Financial Statement

Accounting ratios express the relationship between figures taken from financial
statements. Figures may be taken from Balance Sheet, P& P A/C, or both. One-way
of classification of ratios is based upon the sources from which are taken.
1] Balance sheet ratio:
If the ratios are based on the figures of balance sheet, they are called Balance Sheet
Ratios. E.g. Ratio of current assets to current liabilities or Debt to equity ratio. While
calculating these ratios, there is no need to refer to the Revenue statement. These
ratios study the relationship between the assets & the liabilities, of the concern.
These ratios help to judge the liquidity, solvency & capital structure of the concern.
Balance sheet ratios are Current ratio, Liquid ratio, and Proprietary ratio, Capital
gearing ratio, Debt equity ratio, and Stock working capital ratio.
2] Revenue ratio:
Ratio based on the figures from the revenue statement is called revenue statement
ratios. These ratios study the relationship between the profitability & the sales of the
concern. Revenue ratios are Gross profit ratio, Operating ratio, Expense ratio, Net
profit ratio, Net operating profit ratio, Stock turnover ratio.
3] Composite ratio:
These ratios indicate the relationship between two items, of which one is found in the
balance sheet & other in revenue statement.
There are two types of composite ratios-
a) Some composite ratios study the relationship between the profits & the
investments of the concern. E.g. return on capital employed, return on
proprietors fund, return on equity capital etc.
b) Other composite ratios e.g. debtors turnover ratios, creditors turnover ratios,
dividend payout ratios, & debt service ratios

Based on Function:
Accounting ratios can also be classified according to their functions in to liquidity
ratios, leverage ratios, activity ratios, profitability ratios & turnover ratios.
1] Liquidity ratios:
It shows the relationship between the current assets & current liabilities of the
concern e.g. liquid ratios & current ratios.
2] Leverage ratios:
It shows the relationship between proprietors funds & debts used in financing the
assets of the concern e.g. capital gearing ratios, debt equity ratios, & Proprietary
ratios.
3] Activity ratios:
It shows relationship between the sales & the assets. It is also known as Turnover
ratios & productivity ratios e.g. stock turnover ratios, debtors‟ turnover ratios.
4] Profitability ratios:
a) It shows the relationship between profits & sales e.g. operating ratios, gross
profitratios, operating net profit ratios, expenses ratios
b) It shows the relationship between profit & investment e.g. return on
investment, return on equity capital.
5] Coverage ratios:
It shows the relationship between the profit on the one hand & the claims of the
outsiders to be paid out of such profit e.g. dividend payout ratios & debt service
ratios.
Based on User:

1] Ratios for short-term creditors:
Current ratios, liquid ratios, stock working capital ratios
2] Ratios for the shareholders:
Return on proprietors fund, return on equity capital
3] Ratios for management:
Return on capital employed, turnover ratios, operating ratios, expenses ratios
4] Ratios for long-term creditors:
Debt equity ratios, return on capital employed, proprietor ratios.
Liq
uid
ity Ratio: -

Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term (usually up to 1 year)
obligations. The ratios, which indicate the liquidity of a company, are Current ratio,
Quick/Acid-Test ratio, and Cash ratio. These ratios are discussed below
Current Ratio
Meaning:

This ratio compares the current assets with the current liabilities. It is also known as
„working capital ratio‟ or „solvency ratio‟. It is expressed in the form of pure ratio.
E.g. 2:1
Formula:
Current assets
Current ratio =
Current liabilities
The current assets of a firm represents those assets which can be, in the ordinary
course of business, converted into cash within a short period time, normally not
exceeding one year. The current liabilities defined as liabilities which are short term
maturing obligations to be met, as originally contemplated, with in a year.
Current ratio (CR) is the ratio of total current assets (CA) to total current liabilities
(CL). Current assets include cash and bank balances; inventory of raw materials,
semi-finished and finished goods; marketable securities; debtors (net of provision for
bad and doubtful debts); bills receivable; and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities
consist of trade creditors, bills payable, bank credit, and provision for taxation,
dividends payable and outstanding expenses. This ratio measures the liquidity of the
current assets and the ability of a company to meet its short-term debt obligation.
CR measures the ability of the company to meet its CL, i.e., CA gets converted into
cash in the operating cycle of the firm and provides the funds needed to pay for CL.
The higher the current ratio, the greater the short-term solvency. This compares
assets, which will become liquid within approximately twelve months with liabilities,
which will be due for payment in the same period and is intended to indicate whether
there are sufficient short-term assets to meet the short- term liabilities.
Recommended current ratio is 2: 1. Any ratio below indicates that the entity may face

liquidity problem but also Ratio over 2: 1 as above indicates over trading, that is the
entity is under utilizing its current assets.
Liquid Ratio:
Meaning:
Liquid ratio is also known as acid test ratio or quick ratio. Liquid ratio compares the
quick assets with the quick liabilities. It is expressed in the form of pure ratio. E.g.
1:1.
The term quick assets refer to current assets, which can be converted into, cash
immediately or at a short notice without diminution of value.
Formula:
Quick assets
Liquid ratio =
Quick liabilities
Quick Ratio (QR) is the ratio between quick current assets (QA) and CL. QA refers to
those current assets that can be converted into cash immediately without any value
strength. QA includes cash and bank balances, short-term marketable securities,
and sundry debtors. Inventory and prepaid expenses are excluded since these
cannot be turned into cash as and when required.
QR indicates the extent to which a company can pay its current liabilities without
relying on the sale of inventory. This is a fairly stringent measure of liquidity because
it is based on those current assets, which are highly liquid. Inventories are excluded
from the numerator of this ratio because they are deemed the least liquid component

of current assets. Generally, a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered good. One drawback
of the quick ratio is that it ignores the timing of receipts and payments.
Cash Ratio:
Meaning:
This is also called as super quick ratio. This ratio considers only the absolute liquidity
available with the firm.
Formula:
Cash + Bank + Marketable securities
Cash ratio =
Total current liabilities
Since cash and bank balances and short term marketable securities are the most
liquid assets of a firm, financial analysts look at the cash ratio. If the super liquid
assets are too much in relation to the current liabilities then it may affect the
profitability of the firm.
Investment/ Shareholder
EA

RNING PER SHARE:-
Meaning:
Earnings per Share are calculated to find out overall profitability of the organization.
Earnings per Share representearning of the company whether or not dividends are
declared. If there is only one class of shares, the earning per share are determined
by dividing net profit by the number of equity shares.
EPS measures the profits available to the equity shareholders on each share held.
Formula:
Net Profit after Tax
Earnings per share =
Number of equity share
The higher EPS will attract more investors to acquire shares in the company as it
indicates that the business is more profitable enough to pay the dividends in time.
But remember not all profit earned is going to be distributed as dividends the
company also retains some profits for the business
Dividend Per Share:-
Meaning:
DPS shows how much is paid as dividend to the shareholders on each share held.
Formula:
Dividend Paid to Ordinary Shareholders
Dividend per Share =
Number of Ordinary Shares

Dividend Payout Ratio:-
Meaning:
Dividend Pay-out Ratio shows the relationship between the dividends paid to equity
shareholders out of the profit available to the equity shareholders.
Formula:
Dividend per share
Dividend Payout ratio = *100
Earning per share
D/P ratio shows the percentage share of net profits after taxes and after preference
dividend has been paid to the preference equity holders.
Gearing

CAPITAL GEARING RATIO:-
Meaning:
Gearing means the process of increasing the equity shareholders return through the
use of debt. Equity shareholders earn more when the rate of the return on total
capital is more than the rate of interest on debts. This is also known as leverage or
trading on equity. The Capital-gearing ratio shows the relationship between two
types of capital viz: - equity capital & preference capital & long term borrowings. It is
expressed as a pure ratio.
Formula:
Preference capital+ secured loan
Capital gearing ratio =
Equity capital & reserve & surplus
Capital gearing ratio indicates the proportion of debt & equity in the financing of
assets of a concern.
Profitability
These ratios help measure the profitability of a firm. A firm, which generates a
substantial amount of profits per rupee of sales, can comfortably meet its operating
expenses and provide more returns to its shareholders. The relationship between
profit and sales is measured by profitability ratios. There are two types of profitability
ratios: Gross Profit Margin and Net Profit Margin.

GROSS
PROFIT
RATIO:-
Meaning:
This ratio measures the relationship between gross profit and sales. It is defined as
the excess of the net sales over cost of goods sold or excess of revenue over cost.
This ratio shows the profit that remains after the manufacturing costs have been met.
It measures the efficiency of production as well as pricing. This ratio helps to judge
how efficient the concern is I managing its production, purchase, selling & inventory,
how good its control is over the direct cost, how productive the concern , how much
amount is left to meet other expenses & earn net profit.
Gross profit
Gross profit ratio = * 100
Net sales
Net Profit Ratio:-
Meaning:
Net Profit ratio indicates the relationship between the net profit & the sales it is
usually expressed in the form of a percentage.

Formula:
NPAT
Net profit ratio = * 100
Net sales
This ratio shows the net earnings (to be distributed to both equity and preference
shareholders) as a percentage of net sales. It measures the overall efficiency of
production, administration, selling, financing, pricing and tax management. Jointly
considered, the gross and net profit margin ratios provide an understanding of the
cost and profit structure of a firm.
Return on Capital Employed:-
Meaning:
The profitability of the firm can also be analyzed from the point of view of the total
funds employed in the firm. The term fund employed or the capital employed refers
to the total long-term source of funds. It means that the capital employed comprises
of shareholder funds plus long-term debts. Alternatively it can also be defined as
fixed assets plus net working capital.
Capital employed refers to the long-term funds invested by the creditors and the
owners of a firm. It is the sum of long-term liabilities and owner's equity. ROCE
indicates the efficiency with which the long-term funds of a firm are utilized.
Formula:
NPAT
Return on capital employed = *100
Capital employed
Financial
These ratios determine how quickly certain current assets can be converted into
cash. They are also called efficiency ratios or asset utilization ratios as they measure

the efficiency of a firm in managing assets. These ratios are based on the
relationship between the level of activity represented by sales or cost of goods sold
and levels of investment in various assets. The important turnover ratios are debtors
turnover ratio, average collection period, inventory/stock turnover ratio, fixed assets
turnover ratio, and total assets turnover ratio. These are described below:
DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO (DTO)
Meaning:

DTO is calculated by dividing the net credit sales by average debtors outstanding
during the year. It measures the liquidity of a firm's debts. Net credit sales are the
gross credit sales minus returns, if any, from customers. Average debtors are the
average of debtors at the beginning and at the end of the year. This ratio shows how
rapidly debts are collected. The higher the DTO, the better it is for the organization.
Formula:
Credit sales
Debtors turnover ratio =
Average debtors
Inventory or Stock Turnover Ratio (ITR)
Meaning:
ITR refers to the number of times the inventory is sold and replaced during the
accounting period.
Formula:
Cost of Goods Sold
Stock Turnover Ratio =
Average stock
ITR reflects the efficiency of inventory management. The higher the ratio, the more
efficient is the management of inventories, and vice versa. However, a high inventory
turnover may also result from a low level of inventory, which may lead to frequent
stock outs and loss of sales and customer goodwill. For calculating ITR, the average
of inventories at the beginning and the end of the year is taken. In general, averages
may be used when a flow figure (in this case, cost of goods sold) is related to a stock
figure (inventories).

Fixed AssetsTurnover (FAT)
The FAT ratio measures the net sales per rupee of investment in fixed assets.
Formula:
Net sales
Fixed assets turnover =
Net fixed assets
This ratio measures the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed. A high ratio
indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization while a low ratio reflects an
inefficient use of assets. However, this ratio should be used with caution because
when the fixed assets of a firm are old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets
turnover ratio tends to be high (because the denominator of the ratio is very low).
Proprietors Ratio:
Meaning:
Proprietary ratio is a test of financial & credit strength of the business. It relates
shareholders fund to total assets. This ratio determines the long term or ultimate
solvency of the company.
In other words, Proprietary ratio determines as to what extent the owner‟s interest &
expectations are fulfilled from the total investment made in the business operation.
Proprietary ratio compares the proprietor fund with total liabilities. It is usually
expressed in the form of percentage. Total assets also know it as net worth.
Formula:
Proprietary fund
Proprietary ratio = OR
Total fund
Shareholders fund

Proprietary ratio=
Fixed assets + current liabilities
Stock Working Capital Ratio:
Meaning:
This ratio shows the relationship between the closing stock & the working capital. It
helps to judge the quantum of inventories in relation to the working capital of the
business. The purpose of this ratio is to show the extent to which working capital is
blocked in inventories. The ratio highlights the predominance of stocks in the current
financial position of the company. It is expressed as a percentage.
Formula:
Stock
Stock working capital ratio =
Working Capital
Stock working capital ratio is a liquidity ratio. It indicates the composition & quality of
the working capital. This ratio also helps to study the solvency of a concern. It is a
qualitative test of solvency. It shows the extent of funds blocked in stock. If
investment in stock is higher it means that the amount of liquid assets is lower.
Debt Equity Ratio:
Mening:
This ratio compares the long-term debts with shareholders fund. The relationship
between borrowed funds & owners capital is a popular measure of the long term
financial solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown by debt equity ratio.
Alternatively, this ratio indicates the relative proportion of debt & equity in financing
the assets of the firm. It is usually expressed as a pure ratio. E.g. 2:1
Formula:
Total long-term debt
Debt equity ratio =
Total shareholders fund

Debt equity ratio is also called as leverage ratio. Leverage means the process of the
increasing the equity shareholders return through the use of debt. Leverage is also
known as „gearing‟ or „trading on equity‟. Debt equity ratio shows the margin of safety
for long-term creditors & the balance between debt & equity.
Return on Proprietor Fund:
Meaning:
Return on proprietors fund is also known as „return on proprietor‟s equity‟ or „return
on shareholders‟ investment‟ or „investment ratio‟. This ratio indicates the
relationship between net profits earned & total proprietor‟s funds. Return on
proprietors fund is a profitability ratio, which the relationship between profit &
investment by the proprietors in the concern. Its purpose is to measure the rate of
return on the total fund made available by the owners. This ratio helps to judge how
efficient the concern is in managing the owner‟s fund at disposal. This ratio is of
practical importance to prospective investors & shareholders.
Formula:
NPAT
Return on proprietors fund = * 100
Proprietor’s fund
Creditors Turnover Ratio:
It is same as debtors turnover ratio. It shows the speed at which payments are made
to the supplier for purchase made from them. It is a relation between net credit
purchase and average creditors
Net credit purchase
Credit turnover ratio =
Average creditors
Months in a year
Average age of accounts payable =

Credit turnover ratio
Both the ratios indicate promptness in payment of creditor purchases. Higher
creditors turnover ratio or a lower credit period enjoyed signifies that the creditors are
being paid promptly. It enhances credit worthiness of the company. A very low ratio
indicates that the company is not taking full benefit of the credit period allowed by the
creditors.
Purpose of Ratio Analysis:
1] To identify aspects of a business‟s performance to aid decision making
2] Quantitative process – may need to be supplemented by qualitative factors to get
a complete picture.
3] 5 main areas-
Liquidity – the ability of the firm to pay its way
Investment/shareholders – information to enable decisions to be made on
the extent of the risk and the earning potential of a business investment
Gearing – information on the relationship between the exposure of the
business to loans as opposed to share capital
Profitability – how effective the firm is at generating profits given sales and or
its capital assets
Financial – the rate at which the company sells its stock and the efficiency
with which it uses its assets
Role of Ratio Analysis:
It is true that the technique of ratio analysis is not a creative technique in the sense
that it uses the same figure & information, which is already appearing in the financial

statement. At the same time, it is true that what can be achieved by the technique of
ratio analysis cannot be achieved by the mere preparation of financial statement.
Ratio analysis helps to appraise the firm in terms of their profitability & efficiency of
performance, either individually or in relation to those of other firms in the same
industry. The process of this appraisal is not complete until the ratio so computed
can be compared with something, as the ratio all by them do not mean anything.
This comparison may be in the form of intra firm comparison, inter firm comparison
or comparison with standard ratios. Thus proper comparison of ratios may reveal
where a firm is placed as compared with earlier period or in comparison with the
other firms in the same industry.
Ratio analysis is one of the best possible techniques available to the management to
impart the basic functions like planning & control. As the future is closely related to
the immediate past, ratio calculated on the basis of historical financial statements
may be of good assistance to predict the future. Ratio analysis also helps to locate &
point out the various areas, which need the management attention in order to
improve the situation.
As the ratio analysis is concerned with all the aspect of a firms financial analysis i.e.
liquidity, solvency, activity, profitability & overall performance, it enables the
interested persons to know the financial & operational characteristics of an
organisation & take the suitable decision.
Fund Flow Analysis
Fund may be interpreted in various ways as
(a) Cash,
(b) Total current assets,
(c) Net working capital,

(d) Net current assets.
For the purpose of fund flow statement the term means net working capital. The flow
of fund will occur in a business, when a transaction results in a change i.e., increase
or decrease in the amount of fund.
According to Robert Anthony the funds flow statement describes the sources from
which additional funds were derived and the uses to which these funds were put.
In short, it is a technical device designed to highlight the changes in the financial
condition of a business enterprise between two balance sheets.
Different names of Fund-Flow Statement
A Funds Statement
A statement of sources and uses of fund
A statement of sources and application of fund
Where got and where gone statement
Inflow and outflow of fund statement
Objectives of Fund Flow Statement
The main purposes of FFS are:]
To help to understand the changes in assets and asset sources which are not
readily evident in the income statement or financial statement.
To inform as to how the loans to the business have been used.
To point out the financial strengths and weaknesses of the business.
Format of Fund Flow Statement
Sources Applications
Fund from operation Fund lost in operations

Non-trading incomes Non-operating expenses
Issue of shares Redemption of redeemable preference

Borrowing of loans Repayment of loans
Acceptance of deposits Repayment of deposits
Sale of fixed assets Purchase of fixed assets
Sale of investments (Long
Term)
Purchase of long term investments
Decrease in working
capital
Increase in working capital
Steps in Preparation of Fund Flow Statement.
1. Preparation of schedule changes in working capital (taking current items
only).
2. Preparation of adjusted profit and loss account (to know fund from or fund
lost in operations).
3. Preparation of accounts for non-current items (Ascertain the hidden
information).
Preparation of the fund flow statement.
Cash Flow Analysis
Cash is a life blood of business. It is an important tool of cash planning and control.

A firm receives cash from various sources like sales, debtors, sale of assets
investments etc. Likewise, the firm needs cash to make payment to salaries, rent
dividend, interest etc.
Cash flow statement reveals that inflow and outflow of cash during a particular
period. It is prepared on the basis of historical data showing the inflow and outflow of
cash.
Objectives of CFS
1. To show the causes of changes in cash balance between the balance sheet
dates.
2. To show the actors contributing to the reduction of cash balance inspire of
increasing of profit or decreasing profit.
Uses of CFS
1. It explaining the reasons for low cash balance.
2. It shows the major sources and uses of cash.
3. It helps in short term financial decisions relating to liquidity.
4. From the past year statements projections can be made for the future.
5. It helps the management in planning the repayment of loans, credit
arrangements etc.
Objective of Study
To understand the information contained in financial statements with a view to know
the strength or weaknesses of the firm and to make forecast about the future
prospects of the firm and thereby enabling the financial analyst to take different
decisions regarding the operations of the firm.
