CHAPTER II

LITERATURE REVIEW

A financial statement is an organized collection of data according to logical and consistent accounting procedures. Its purpose is to convey an understanding of some financial aspects of a business firm. It may show a position at a moment of time as in the case of a balance sheet, or may reveal a series of activities over a given period of time, as in the case of an income statement. Thus, the term ‘financial statements’ generally refers to two basis statements: (1) the income statement, and (2) the balance sheet. Of course, a business may also prepare (3) a statement of retained earnings, and (4) a statement of changes in financial position in addition to the above two statements.

Financial statements

INCOME STATEMENT

BALANCE SHEET

STATEMENT OF RETAINED EARNINGS

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

10

The income statement is generally considered to be the most useful of all financial statements. It explains what has happened to a business as a result of operations between two balance sheet dates. For this purpose it matches the revenues and costs incurred in the process of earning revenues and shows the net profit earned or loss suffered during a particular period. Balance sheet is a statement of financial position of a business at a specified moment of time. It represents all assets owned by the business at a particular moment of time and the claims or equities of the owners and outsiders against those assets at that time. It is in a way a snap shot of the financial condition of the business at that time. The important distinction between an income statement and a balance sheet is that the income statement is for a period while balance sheet is on a particular date. Income statement is therefore a flow report, as contrasted with the balance sheet, whish is a static report. However, both are complementary to each other. The term retained earnings means the accumulated excess of earnings over loses and dividends. The balance shown by the income statement is transferred to the balance sheet through this statement, after making necessary appropriations. It is fundamentally a display of things that have caused the beginning of the period- retained earnings balance to be changed in to the one shown in the end of the period balance sheet. Financial analysis can be classified on the basis of materials used. Those who are outsiders for the business do the external analysis. The term outsiders include

11

investors, credit agencies, government agencies and other creditors who have no access to the internal records of the company. These persons mainly depend up on the published financial statements. Their analysis servers only limited purpose. The internal analysis is done by persons who have access to the books of account and other information related to the business. Such an analysis can, therefore, be done by executives and employees of the organization or by officers appointed for this purpose by the government or the court under powers vested in them. The analysis is done depending up on the objective to be achieved through this analysis. The performance of any industry is dependent, to a large extent, on its financial performance. Financial performance becomes encouraging when a proper financial plan and execution of the plan precede it. The present day economy is dynamic and changing from time to time. The Indian economy has witnessed fast changes and transition from controlled economy in to liberalized one during past 10 to 15 years. The financial management has to be fair under such circumstances as the parameters assumed under change. This also calls for good corporate governance. Corporate governance enables and introduces an integrated approach in managing a Corporate / Industry. Corporate governance includes the polices and procedures adopted by a company in achieving its objectives in relation to shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers, regulatory authorities and community at large.

12

? Approval of shareholders by postal ballot. ? Audit Committee. ? Director’s Responsibility statement. ? Remuneration and Compensation Committee.

The company is committed to attain highest standard of corporate Governance. It recognizes that the board of directors is accountable to all shareholders for good governance. The philosophy of the company in relation to Corporate Governance is to ensure transparency in all its operations, make disclosures and enhance shareholders value without compromising in any way with laws and regulations.

II.1 OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS OF THE CONCEPTS

II.1.1 RATIO ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION:

Analysis and interpretation of financial statements with the help of “ratios” is termed as “Ratio Analysis”. Ratio analysis involves the process of computing, determining and presenting the relationships of items of financial statements.

Ratio Analysis was pioneered by Alexander Wall who presented a system of ratio analysis in the year 1909.

13

II.1.3 MEANING OF RATIO:

A ratio is a mathematical relationship between two items expressed in a quantitative form.

Ratio can be defined as “Relationships expressed in quantitative terms, between figures which have cause and effect relationships or which are connected with each other in some manner or the other”. An accounting ratio can be defined as “Quantitative relationships between two or more items of the financial statements connected with each other”. The essence of ratio is putting together of two figures to stud their relationships. The study is in the form of analysis, interpretation and expression of all the ramification of the relationships.

II.1.4 MODES OF EXPRESSION OF RATIOS: Ratios may be expressed in any one or more of the following ways: i. In proportion:

In this type the amount of two items are expressed in a common denominator. An example of this form of expression is the relationship between current assets and current liabilities as “2:1”.

14

ii.

In rate or times or coefficient:

In this type of expression, a quotient obtained by dividing one item by another is taken as unit of expression. An example of this form of expression is cost of sales divided by average stock (say 8), thus 8 times is the ratio between cost of sales and stock.

iii.

In percentage:

In this type of expression, a quotient obtained by dividing one item by another is multiplied by one hundred to show the relationship in terms of percentage. For example, the relationship between net profit and sales may be expressed as say 25%

II.2 STEPS IN RATIO ANALYSIS:

i.

Selection of relevant information:

The first step in ratio analysis is to select relevant information from financial statements and calculate appropriate ratios required for decision under consideration.

15

ii.

Comparison of calculated ratios:

In order to assess the relative meaning, the ratios calculated are compared with the past ratios and industry ratios.

iii.

Interpretation and reporting:

The third step in ratio analysis is to interpret the significance of various ratios, draw inferences and to write a report. The report may recommend specific action in the matter of the decision situation or may present alternatives with comparative merits or it may just state the facts and interpretation.

II.3 Advantages of Ratio Analysis: Forecasting: Ratios reveal the trends in costs, sales, profits and other inter-related facts, which will be helpful in forecasting future events. Managerial control: Ratios can be used as “instrument of control” regarding sales, costs and profit. Facilitates communication: Ratios facilitate the communication function of management as ratios convey the information relating to the present and future quickly, forcefully and clearly.

16

Measuring efficiency:

Ratios help to know operational efficiency by comparison of Present ratios with those of the past working and also with those of other firms in the industry.

Facilitating Investment Decisions:

Ratios are helpful in computing return on investment. This helps the management in exercising effective decisions regarding profitable avenues if investment. Useful in measuring financial solvency:

The financial statements disclose the assets and liabilities in a format. But they do not convey relationships of various assets and liabilities with each other, whereas ratios indicates the liquidity position of the company and the proportion of borrowed funds to total resources which reveal the short term and long term solvency position of a firm. Inter firm comparisons The technique of inter- firm comparisons can be carried out successfully only with the help of ratio analysis. Otherwise no firm may come forward to disclose full information. Inter- firm comparisons help the management to compare its performance with an external “benchmark” or “standard”.

17

II.4 LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

i.

Practical knowledge:

The analyst should have thorough knowledge and experience about the firm and industry.

ii.

Ratios are means:

Ratios are not an end in themselves bet they are means to achieve a particular purpose or end.

iii.

Inter – relationship:

Ratios are inter- related and therefore a single ratio cannot convey any meaning. It has to be interpreted with reference to other related ratios to draw meaningful conclusions.

iv.

Non availability of standards or norms:

Ratios will be meaningful if they can be compared with standards or norms. Except for a few financial ratios, other ratios lack standards which are universally recognized.

18

v.

Accuracy of financial information:

The accuracy of a ratio depends on the accuracy of information derived from financial statements. If the statements are inaccurate, same will be the result with ratios.

vi.

Consistency in preparation of financial statements:

Inter – firm comparisons with the help of ratio analysis will be useful only if the firms use uniform accounting procedures consistently. Otherwise the comparison may be useless.

vii.

Detachment from financial statements:

Useful ratios are not substitutes to financial statements. they can be meaningful only if they are read along with information is detached ,ratios themselves cannot convey much message.

viii.

Time lag:

Ratio analysis will be fruitful only if the conclusions are conveyed quickly to the management. If there is a delay, the utility of the data is diminished and the purpose itself may be defeated.

19

ix.

Changes in price level:

Ratio analysis becomes useless during periods of heavy price fluctuations.

II.5 COMMON SIZE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

:

Common size financial statements are those in which figures reported are converted in to percentages to some common base. In the income statement sales figures is assumed to be 100 and all figures are expressed as percentage of sales. Similarly in the balance sheet, the total of assets or liabilities is taken as 200 and all the figures are expressed as a percentage of this total.

II.6 COMMON SIZE BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS:

Financial statement analysis such as ratio analysis, funds flow analysis and trend analysis has a common shortcoming. They fail to focus on the changes that take place from year to year in relation to total assets and total liabilities. This limitation can be overcome by preparing the common size balance sheet. This shows the relation of each asset item to total assets and each liability item to total liabilities. As these percentages show relationships to balance sheet total, variations from tear to year do not necessarily indicate changes in money accounts.

20

II.7 COMPARATIVE BALANCE SHEET:

The single balance sheet shows assets and liabilities as on a particular date. The comparative balance sheet shows the value of assets and liabilities on two different dates. It helps in comparison. A comparative balance sheet has two columns to record the figures of the current year and the previous year. A fourth column may be added to giving percentage increase or decrease. Thus, while in the balance sheet the emphasis is on status, in the comparative balance sheet it is on change. Comparative balance sheet indicates whether the business is moving in a favorable or unfavorable direction. It is very useful for studying the trends in an enterprise.

II.8 TREND PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:

Trend percentages are immensely helpful in making a comparative study of the financial statements for several years. The method of trend percentages is a useful analytical device for the management since by substitution of percentages for large amounts; the brevity and reliability are achieved. The method of calculating trend percentages involves the calculation of percentage relationship that each item bears to the same item in the base year. Any year may be taken as the base year. It is usually the earliest year. Any intervening year may also be taken 100 and on that basis the percentages for each of the items of each of the years are calculated.

21

II.9 FUND FLOW STATEMENT:

Every company prepares its balance sheet at the end of its accounting year. It is a statement of assets and liabilities of the company, as on a particular date. It reveals the financial position of the company. It does not present a detailed analysis. The balance sheet fails to account for the period increase or decrease in he working capital during a period and explain them. The statement is called fund flow statement. Meaning: The fund flow statement is a report on the movement of funds or working capital. It explains how working capital is raised and used during an accounting period. Definition: “A statement of sources and application of funds is a technical device designed to analyze the changes in the financial condition of a business enterprise between two dates”.

Objectives: ? ? ? To show how the resources have been obtained and used. To indicate the results of current financial management. To throw light upon the most important changes that have taken place during a specific period. ? To show how the general expansion of the business has been financed.

22

?

To indicate the relationship between profits from operations, distribution of dividend and rising of new capital or term loans.

?

To have an assessment of the working capital position of the concern.

II.10 Advantages or significance of funds flow statement:

i.

Analysis of financial operations: The main purpose of funds flow statement is to analyze the financial operations of the business. The statement explains the causes for changes in the assets and liabilities during a period.

ii.

Evaluation of the firm’s financing: The analysis of sources of funds reveals how the firm has financed its developed projects in the past i.e. from internal sources or from external sources. It also reveals the rate of growth of the firm.

iii.

Answers to intricate questions: The funds flow statement provides answers to questions such as: ? How the loans were repaid? ? How much funds were generated from operations? ? How were the funds used? ? How was the increase in working capital financed?

23

iv.

Allocation of scarce resources: A projected fund flow statement is an instrument for allocation of resources. It lays down the plan for efficient use of scarce resources in future. It enables the management to discharge its financial obligations promptly.

v.

Helps in working capital management: This statement indicates the adequacy or inadequacy of working capital. The management can take steps for effective use of surplus working capital. In case of inadequacy, arrangement can be made for improving the working capital position.

vi.

Acts as a guide to future: With the aid of projected funds flow statement, the management can plan for meeting future financial requirements.

vii.

Helps financial institutions: This statement is also useful to lending institutions like banks, IDBI, ICICI, IFCI and others. It helps them to assess the credit worthiness and repaying capacity of the borrowing company.

24

II.11 LIMITATIONS OF FUNDS FLOW STATEMENT:

i.

This statement is not a substitute for an income statement or balance sheet. It provides only some additional information regarding changes in working capital.

ii.

Changes in cash are more important and relevant for financial management than the working capital.

iii.

It is not an original statement. It is only a rearrangement of data given in financial statements.

iv.

This statement is essentially historic in nature. A projected funds flow statement, on the basis of it cannot be prepared with much accuracy.

v.

It cannot reveal continuous changes.

25

CHAPTER III

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

III.1 PROFITABILTY RATIOS:

This ratio is an indicator of the efficiency within which the operations of the business are carried on. The lower profitability may arise due to lack of control over the expenses. Ratios also direct us while dealing with Bankers, financial Institutions and other creditors.

III.1.1 Gross profit ratio

This ratio is known as Gross margin or Trading margin ratio. Gross Profit ratio indicates the difference between sales and direct cost. Gross Profit explains the relations between Gross Profit and Net sales. A higher ratio is preferable, indicating higher profitability. Formula: Gross profit Gross profit ratio = ---------------------Sales It is expected to be adequate to cover operating expenses, fixed interest charges, dividends and increase of reserves. * 100

26

Table -1: Calculation of Gross Profit Ratio

Ratio (%) 3.36 1.78 6.19 6.21 8.66

Interpretation:

Overall Gross profit ratio is less than the ideal in all the years under study. But after 2005-02 it is gradually increasing from 6.19% to 8.66%

III.1.2 Operating ratio 27

Operating ratio matches cost of goods sold plus other operating expenses on one hand, with net sales on the other.The ratio is closely related to the ratio of operating profit to net sales which can be obtained by subtracting the operating ratio from 100.

FORMULA: Cost of goods sold + Operating expenses Operating ratio = ------------------------------------------------------ *100 Net sales

Table -2: Calculation of Operating Ratio

Year 1999-00 2008-01 2005-02 2006-03 2007-08

Operating cost 1005050 48693 2273857 3907857 3733629

Ratio (%) 99.73 103.01 98.43 98.41 97.71

Interpretation: 28

Operating ratio is the highest in all the years under study. In 2008-01 the factory is leased out and hence the operating cost is more than 100%.

III.1.3 Net profit ratio:

This is the ratio of net income or profit after taxes to net sales. It indicates with portion of sales is left to the proprietors after all costs, charges and expenses have been deducted. The ratio is widely used as a measure of overall profitability and is very useful to the proprietors.

FORMULA:

Interpretation:

As the operating ratio is highest the net profit ratio is very less in all the year under study. It is more in 2008-01 as it includes lease rentals.

III.1.4 Operating profit ratio

It is the ratio of profit made from operating sources to the sales, usually shown as a percentage. It shows the operational efficiency of the firm is a measure of the management’s efficiency in running the routine operations of the firm. Operating expenses include administration, selling and distribution expenses.

FORMULA: Operating Profit Operating profit ratio = ------------------------Sales * 100

Interpretation:

Steady increase in operating profit except in the year 2008- 01.

III.1.5 Return on capital employed:

The return on capital employed can be used to show the efficiency of the business as a whole. It is used as a basis for various managerial decisions. Thus it can become an integral part of the budgetary control system in order that the management may be able to follow the progress being made and to take corrective action, if necessary.

FORMULA: 31

Return on capital employed = Net profit after tax ------------------------------- * 100 Capital employed

Interpretation:

The return on capital employed is fluctuating in the years under study.

III.1.6 Return on proprietors funds:

32

It is the ratio of net profit to proprietor’s funds as shown by the balance sheet, which are the same as total assets less liabilities. It is another effective measure of the profitableness of an enterprise. This ratio is one of the most important relationships in financial statement analysis. The realization of a satisfactory net income is the major objective of a business and the ratio of net profit to shareholders funds shows the extent to which this objective to being achieved.

FORMULA: Net profit after tax Return on proprietors funds = ---------------------------------- *100 Proprietor’s funds Table -7 Calculation of Return on Proprietors Funds

Interpretation: 33

During the period of five years under study there is a decline in return on proprietors fund from 37 % to 26.93 %. This is due to increase in proprietary fund during the period for major expansion. III.1.7 Return on equity capital

Return on equity capital relates the net profits available to equity share holders to the amount of capital invested by them. This rate of return is designed to show what percentage, the earned profit of the period bears to the amount of capital invested by equity share holders

III.2 Short Term Solvency Ratios III.2.1 Current ratio:

Current ratio also called working capital ratio, is the most widely used of all analytical devices based on the balance sheet. It matches the total current assets of the firm to its current liabilities. Current ratio indicates, in rough, the liquidity of current assets or the ability of a business to meet its maturing current obligations.

35

current assets normally include cash in hand or at bank, marketable securities, other short term high quality investments, bills receivables, prepaid expenses, work in progress, sundry debtors and inventories while current liabilities are composed of sundry creditors, bills payable, outstanding and accrued expenses, income tax payable. FORMULA: Current assets Current ratio = ------------------------- * 100 Current liabilities Table -10: Calculation of Current Ratio Year 1999-00 2008-01 2005-02 2006-03 2007-08 Current assets 29063 15626 325296 6264282 971629 Current liabilities 7481 12239 196676 507244 658814 Ratio (%) 3.88 1.28 1.65 1.23 1.47

Interpretation:

In all the years under study except 1999-2008 the ratio is less than ideal and fluctuating.

III.2.2 Liquid Ratio:

36

This ratio is also called quick ratio or acid test ratio. It is calculated by comparing the quick assets with current liabilities.

Formula: Liquid ratio = Quick assets or Liquid assets -----------------------------------------Current Liabilities Where, Liquid assets = Current assets – Inventory The ideal Liquid ratio or generally accepted norm for liquid ratio is 1. comparison of Quick ratio with current ratio indicates the inventory hold ups.

III.2.3 Stock Turn over ratio : It reveals the number of times the stock has been rotated in a year. The purpose of computing this ratio is to find out to what extant the inventory has been efficiently used and control.

Formula: Stock turn over ratio = Net sales --------------------------------Avg. inventory @ Cost

Average inventory =

Opening stock + Closing stock -------------------------------------2

III.3.2 Creditor Turn over Ratio: It is similar to debtors turn over ratio. It indicates the speed with which the payments of credit purchase are made to the creditors. 40

Formula: Creditor Turn over Ratio = Trade creditors -----------------------Purchases per day

Purchase per day =

Net purchase -------------------No. of working days

FINDINGS

? Overall Gross profit ratio is less than the ideal in all the years under study. But after 2005-02 it is gradually increasing from 6.19% to 8.66% Operating ratio is the highest in all the years under study. In 2008-01 the factory is leased out and hence the operating cost is more than 100%. ? As the operating ratio is highest the net profit ratio is very less in all the year under study. It is more in 2008-01 as it includes lease rentals. ? Steady increase in operating profit except in the year 2008- 01. ? The return on capital employed is fluctuating in the years under study. ? During the period of five years under study there is a decline in return on proprietors fund from 37 % to 26.93 %. This is due to increase in proprietary fund during the period for major expansion. ? Return on equity capital is decreasing because of increase in equity capital. In all the years under study except 2007-2008 the Current ratio is less than ideal and fluctuating. The quick ratio is less than ideal and decreasing except in the year 2007-2008. ? In the year 2007 – 08 the stock turnover ratio was 87.37, whereas in the year 2007 – 08 it is 8.30. As apparent it shows sign of improvement and it has to be managed to achieve normal industry average of 5 to 8 times.

55

Interest coverage ratio is fluctuating and more than ideal as the management is conservative in not using the cheaper source of debt capital.

56

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. The operating cost is exorbitant. The company should try to reduce the operating cost to improve the profitability. 2.The company should follow a good financial discipline of using the long term funds for long term purpose and short term funds for short term purpose. 3.To avoid or to maintain financial integrity in the market the company should pay the short term liabilities at the earliest or at least maintain the industry norms. 4.The company should make an in-depth study of cost involved to increase the profitability.

CONCLUSION

From the overall study it is clear that the company has potential to improve up on. At least after completion of major expansion programme the company should concentrate in cost reduction technique to improve profitability.

When the company is in expansion programme the company can make use of cheaper sources of debt capital rather than own capital.
