RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm. This may be accomplished either through a trend analysis of the firms ratios over a period of time or through a comparison of the firms ratios with its nearest competitors and with the industry averages. The four most important financial dimensions, which a firm would like to analyze, are: Liquidity, Leverage, Activity and Profitability. Ratio analysis is a very useful tool to raise relevant questions on a number of managerial issues. It provides clues to investigate those issues in detail. However, caution needs to be applied while interpreting ratios as they are calculated from the accounting numbers. Accounting numbers suffer from accounting policy changes, arbitrary allocation procedures and inflation.
1) LIQUIDITY RATIO:
Liquidity Ratios measure the firms ability to meet current obligations, and are, calculated by establishing relationships between current assets and current liabilities. A company's ability to turn short-term assets into cash to cover debts is of the utmost importance when creditors are seeking payment. Bankruptcy analysts and mortgage originators frequently use the liquidity ratios to determine whether a company will be able to continue as a going concern.
a)
Current Ratio:
This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Current Assets' of a company by its 'Total Current Liabilities'. The ratio is regarded as a test of liquidity for a company. It expresses the 'working capital' relationship of current assets available to meet the company's current obligations.
Analysis:
Current assets are increasing in comparison to Current Liabilities. It shows the good performance of the company. Current liabilities include the short term loans.
5
b)
Analysis: Usually high liquid ratios an indication that the firm is liquid and has the
ability to meet its current or liquid liabilities in time. Ratio is increasing that indicates, liquid assets are increasing over the years in comparison to the current liabilities. There is
difference between the ratios taken from source and actual calculation but the trend is same.
Average Debtors = (Opening Debtors + Closing Debtors) / 2 Mar 2007 10.2849 4 10.4880 0 Mar 2008 10.0600 10.1235 Mar 2009 9.92766 10.01015 Mar 2010 9.36408 9.50544 Mar 2011 10.10575 10.32564
Analysis: Here credit sales is not available so total sales is taken into consideration and year end balance of debtor is taken. Debtors turnover ratio is decline from Mar07-Mar10 that implies management is not efficient to collect money from its debtors but in financial year 11 debtor seems to be more liquid in nature. b) Inventory Turnover Ratio: This ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm in producing and selling its product. It is calculated by dividing the cost of good sold by the average inventory. Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory
Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) / 2 Mar 2007 5.87574 4 4.66 Mar 2008 5.86530 3 5.92 Mar 2009 6.33423 6 6.64 Mar 2010 Mar 2011
Analysis: A low turnover is usually a bad sign because products tend to deteriorate as they sit in a warehouse. COGS is not available so total sales is taken into consideration. That is why there is a difference in actual and calculated ratio. c) Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio: The fixed asset turnover ratio measures the company's effectiveness in generating sales from its investments in plant, property, and equipment. It is especially important for a manufacturing firm that uses a lot of plant and equipment in its operations to calculate its fixed asset turnover ratio. Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = Sales / Net Fixed assets Mar 2007 9.86462 NA Mar 2008 9.64783 5 NA Mar 2009 9.36268 8 NA Mar 2010 Mar 2011

Analysis: Companies with low profit margins tend to have high asset turnover, those
with high profit margins have low asset turnover - it indicates pricing strategy. From the above trend we can say that profit margin have been increased over a period of time.
3)
PROFITABILITY RATIOS:
A class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to generate earnings as compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred during a specific period of time. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor's ratio or the same ratio from a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well.
a)
Gross Profit Margin Ratio: The gross profit margin reflects the efficiency with
which management produces each unit of product. This ratio indicates the average spread between the cost of good sold and the sales revenue. Gross Profit Margin Ratio = (Gross Profit / Sales) * 100 Gross profit = PBDITA (profit before depreciation, interest, tax and amortization)

Analysis: Increase in ratio indicates that sales price would be increased and COGS remain constant OR there would be lower COGS with consistency in price.

Analysis:
Company profitability against its total assets is declining because proportion of increase in assets is more than proportion increase in profit. And there is robust increase in assets in the year 2010 but the profit has not increase significantly.
f)
EPS (Earning Per Share): The portion of a company's profit allocated to each
outstanding share of common stock. Earnings per share serve as an indicator of a company's profitability. EPS calculations made over years indicate whether or not the firms earning power on per share basis has changed over that period.
16
Analysis:
Company earning power on per share basis has been increased over the period this act as a positive indicator for investment in the company. There is huge increase in the net profit of the company, and the number of subscribed shares also increased.
g)
Dividend Per Share: The the sum of declared dividends for every ordinary share
issued. Dividend per share (DPS) is the total dividends paid out over an entire year (including interim dividends but not including special dividends) divided by the number of outstanding ordinary shares issued.
Dividend Per Share = Equity Dividend / No. of equity shares outstanding Mar 2007 Mar 2008 Mar 2009 Mar 2010 Mar 2011

Analysis:
There is a sharp decline in dividend paid to the share holders in 2008 because in this year company increased their retained earning from 46 to 73 crore, so there would be lesser profit remain for the dividend. Then profit of the company increasing and more profit available for dividend.
4)
Leverage Ratios measure the proportion of outsiders capital in financing the firms assets, and are calculated by establishing relationships between borrowed capital and equity capital.
a)
Debt-Equity Ratio: This relationship describing the lenders contribution for each
rupee of the owner contribution is called debt-equity ratio. DE ratio is directly computed by dividing total debt by net worth.
18
Debt-Equity Ratio = Total debt / Net worth Mar 2007 0.41803 2 0.42003 7 Mar 2008 0.34646 6 0.34752 8 Mar 2009 0.187992 0.212295 Mar 2010 0.039059 0.039072 Mar 2011 0.108657 0.108782
Analysis: Ratio is less than one that means equity money is more than debt money in the
company and it consistently declining from 2007 till 2010 that is safety measure indicates the healthy position of the company.
The interest coverage ratio is used to test the firms debt serving capacity. This ratio shows the number of times the interest charges are covered by funds that are ordinarily available for their payment.

Analysis:
It is an index of the financial strength of an enterprise. A high debt service ratio or interest coverage ratio assures the lenders a regular and periodical interest income. But too high a ratio indicates that the firm is very conservative in using debt, as in the year 2010 and company is not using debt to the best advantage of shareholders.
