The market value of 2008 (154.88) is greater than the book value of 2008(58.11) it shows that

the company position is better in 2008.

The market value of 2007 (167.8) which is also greater than the book value of 2007 (55.26) it

shows that the company position is also better in 2007 and its shows that company maintaining

his profit but from 2007 to 2008 it will increased by 22.04% only which lower than 2007 but

still company getting profit which is good sign for stockholders.

RATIO ANALYSIS

A statistic has little value in isolation. Hence, a profit figure of Rs.100 million is meaningless

unless it is related to either the firm’s turnover (sales revenue) or the value of its assets.

Accounting ratios attempt to highlight the relationships between significant items in the

accounts of a firm.

Financial ratios are the analyst’s microscope; they allow them to get a better view of the firm’s

financial health than just looking at the raw financial statements Ratios are used by both internal

and external analysts

Internal uses

• Planning

• Evaluation of management

External uses

• Credit granting

• Performance monitoring

• Investment decisions

• Making of policies

CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL RATIOS

The accounting ratios can be grouped in to five categories:

1. Liquidity Ratios shows the extent to which the firm can meet its financial obligations.

2. Asset Management Ratios shows that how effectively the firm is managing its assets.

3. Debt Management Ratios shows the extent to which a firm uses debt financing or financial

leverages.

4. Profitability Ratios relates profits to sales and assets.

5. Market Value Ratios are a measure of the return on investment.

LIQUIDITY RATIOS

1. Current Ratio:

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Current
Current Assets
ratio = current
Liabilities

The current ratio is lower in 2008 as

2008 1.21254
= 2
Annexur
compared to 2007 it indicate that
e 4 (i)
company current liability is more
2007 1.23535
= 6
than as compare to 2007 so the

company liquidity position in 2008 is

week as compare to 2007.

2. Quick ratio

Current Assets -
Quick Inventories
ratio =
Current liabilities

2008 0.4854
= 51 If we compare quick ratio to current ratio
Annexur
e 4 (ii)
2007 0.3762 its clearly indicate that company holding
= 01
lot of inventory which is not good sign but

if we compare the quick ratio of 2007 which is 0.38 to 2008 which is 0.49 that shows in 2008

the company manage its inventory which is good indication .

But my evaluation suggests that Atlas battery’s liquidity position currently is fairly poor.

previous year.

shows that the company is more effective in

collecting receivables now in comparison of previous year. It also shows that the credit policy of

Atlas battery is very effectively working.

5. Fixed Assets turnover Ratios

fixed assets in year 2008 is better than it

was in previous years. In 2007, it was 5.68 times and now it has been increased to 6.28 times.

more benefit from its total assets.

DEBT MANAGEMENT RATIOS

means that 51.93% of the firm’s assets are debt financed and 48.07% are equity financed. It

shows clearly that the company managing it debt against its assets .

relevant high margin of safety. But In

2008 the company is covering its interest expense by relatively low margin of safety.

compare to previous year and there is also no repayment and principal. It decreased because this

year net income is decline as compare to previous year.

2007 5.52

According to the figures, company’s sale

in 2008 is low as compare in 2007 because costs are high and the company is using heavy debt.

The BEP has decreased from 21.89% in 2007, to 20.97% in 2008. This decrease was due to

decrease in EBIT as compare to last year net income.

12. Return on total assets

increase in Net income. Though shareholders

equity has also increased as the company is increase debt financing, but the increase in

shareholders’ equity is lower relative to the increase in net profit.

This was due to the fact that the earnings per

From last 10 year company pays annually dividends to its shareholders but my analysis is just

based on last three years. In 2006 company pays 18,391 Rs. in thousands. In 2007 it pays 23,793

Rs. In thousand at the rate of 3.91 Rs/- per share and in 2008 it pays 42,604 Rs In thousands at

the rate of 6.52 Rs. /- per share. It shows that company has constantly growing in the market.

this rate is less than as compare to 2007 rate which is 72.81% .However, most important thing is

company is retaining half of its net income every year based on last year.
