INTRODUCTION
In an economy finance is defined as the provision of money at the time when
it is required. Every enterprise, whether big, medium of
small, needs finance to carry on its operations and
to achieve its targets. In fact, finance is so indispensable today that it is

rightly said to be the lifeblood of an enterprise. Without adequate finance, no
enterprise can possibly accomplish its objectives.

The subject of finance has been traditionally classified into two classes:
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 4
Public finance
Public finance deals with the requirements receipts and disbursements of funds in
the government institutions like states, local self-governments and central
government.
Private finance
Private finance is concerned with requirements, receipts and disbursements of
funds in case of individual, a profit seeking business organization and a non-profit
organization.
Private finance can be classified into:
Personal finance;
Business finance; and
Finance of non-profit organizations.
Three main APPROACHES to finance:
i The first approach views finance as to providing of funds needed by a
Business on most suitable terms. This approach confines finance to the
raising of funds and to the
study of financial institutions and instruments from where funds can be
procured.

ii The second approach relates finance to cash.
iii The third approach views finance as being concerned with rising of funds
and their effective utilization.
Business finance can further be sub-classified into three
categories:
OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OR BUSINESS
FINANCE
Financial management is concerned with procurement and use of funds. Its
main aim is to use business funds in such a way that the firm’s value/earnings
Are maximized. Financial management provides a framework for selecting a
Proper course of action and deciding a viable commercial strategy. The main
Objective of a business is to maximize the owner’s economic welfare.
Objective can be achieved by:
1. Profit Maximization, and
2. Wealth Maximization
1. Profit Maximization. Profit earning is the main aim of every economic
Activity. A business being an economic institution must earn profit to
Cover its costs and provide funds for growth. No business can survive
without earning profit. Profit is a measure of efficiency of a business
enterprise. Profits also serve as a protection against
Risks which cannot be ensured. The accumulated profits enable a business

to face risks like fall in prices, competition from other units, adverse
government policies etc. thus, profit maximization is considered as the main
objective of business.
2. Wealth Maximization. Wealth maximization is the appropriate
objective of an enterprise. Financial theory asserts that wealth maximization
is the single substitute for a stock holder’s utility. When the firm maximizes
the stock holder’s wealth, the individual maximizing stock holders wealth the
firm is operating consistently towards maximizing stock holders utility
SCOPE OF FINANCE FUNCTION
1. Estimating financial requirements
2. Deciding Capital Structure
3. Selecting a Source of Finance
4. Selecting a Pattern of Investment
5. Proper Cash Management
6. Implementing Financial Controls
7. Proper Use of Surpluses
1)Estimating Financial Requirements:
The first task of a financial manager is to estimate short-term financial
Requirements of his business. For this purpose he will prepare a financial
Plan for present as well as for future. The amount required for purchasing
fixed assets as well as needs of funds for working capital will have to be
Ascertained. The estimations should be based on sound financial principles
So that neither there are inadequate nor excess funds with the concern. The
inadequacy of funds will adversely affect day to day working of the concern
whereas excess funds may tempt a management to indulge in extravagant
Spending or speculative activities.
2)Deciding capital Structure:
It refers to the kind and proportion of different securities for raising funds.
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 7
After deciding about the quantum of funds required it should be decided
Which type of securities should be raised? It may be wise to finance fixed
Assets through long term debts. If gestation period is longer, then share
Capital may be most suitable. Long term funds should be employed to
Finance working capital also, if not wholly then partially. Entirely depending
Upon overdrafts and cash credits for meeting working capital needs may not
Be suitable. A decision about various sources for funds should be linked to
The cost of raising funds. If cost of raising funds is very high then such
Sources may not be useful for long.
3)Selecting a Source of Funds: After preparing a capital structure,
an appropriate source of finance is Selected. Various sources from which
the finance may be raised, include: share capital, financial institution,
commercial banks, public deposits, etc. if finances are needed for short
periods then banks, public deposits and financial institutions may be
appropriate; on the other hand, if long – term Finances are required then
share capital and debentures may be useful. If the concern does not
want to tie down assets as securities then public deposits May be a
suitable source. If management does not want to dilute ownership Then
debentures should be issued in preference to shares. The need, purpose,
object and cost involved may be the factors influencing the selection of a
Suitable source of financing.
4)Selecting a Pattern of Investment:
The selection of an investment pattern is related to the use of funds. The
funds will have to be spent first on fixed assets and then an appropriate
Portion will be retained for working capital. Even a various categories of
Assets, a decision about the type of fixed or other assets will be essential.
While selecting a plant and machinery, even different categories of them
May be available. The decision making techniques such as Capital
Budgeting, Opportunity Cost Analysis etc. May be applied in making
decisions about capital expenditures. While spending on various assets,
the
Principle of safety, profitability and liquidity should not be ignored. A
Balance should be struck even in these principles. One may not like to invest
On a project which may be risky even though there may be more profits.

5)Proper Cash Management:
it is also an important task of finance manager. He has to assess various cash
Needs at different times and then make arrangements for arranging cash.
Cash may be required to:
a) Purchase of raw materials,
b) Make payments to creditors,
c) Meet wage bills, and to meet day-to-day expenses.
d)
The usual sources of cash may be:
a) Cash sales,
b) Collection of debts,
c) Short term arrangements with banks etc.
6)Implementing financial controls:
An efficient system of financial management necessitates the use of various
Control devices. Financial control devices generally used are:
a) Return on investment,
b) Budgetary control,
c) Break even analysis,
d) Cost control,
e) Ratio analysis,
f) Cost and internal audit.
7)Proper use of surpluses:
The utilization of profits or surpluses is also an important factor in financial
Management. A judicious use of surpluses is essential for expansion and
Diversification plans and also in protecting the interests of shareholders. The
plugging back of profits is the best policy for further financing but it cashes
With the interests of shareholders. A balance should be struck in using funds for
paying dividend and retaining earnings for financing expansion plans, etc. the
market value of shares will also be influenced by declaration of Dividend and HKBK DC

expected profitability in future.
A finance manager should consider the influence of various
factors such as:
a) Trend of earnings of the enterprise,
b) Expected earnings in future,
c) Market value of shares,
d) Need for funds for financing expansion, etc. a judicious policy for
distributing surpluses will be essential for maintaining proper growth of
the unit.
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
1. Determining financial needs
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 10
2. Selecting the sources of funds
3. Financial analysis and interpretation
4. Cost volume profit analysis
5. Capital budgeting
6. Working capital management
7. Profit planning and control
8. Dividend policy
Determining financial needs: a finance manager is supposed to
meet financial needs of the enterprise. For this purpose, he should
determine financial needs of the concern. Funds are needed to meet
promotional expenses, fixed and working capital needs.
Selecting the sources of funds: numbers of sources are available
for raising funds. A concern may resort to issue of share capital and
debentures. Long term funds may be acquired from the financial institution.
Working capital needs may be met by obtaining cash credit or overdraft
facilities from commercial banks.
Financial analysis and interpretation: the analysis and
interpretation of financial statement is an important task of a finance
manager. He is expected to know about the profitability, liquidity position, and short
term and long term financial position of concern.
Cost volume profit analysis: is an important tool of profit planning.
It helps to ascertain that at what point of production a firm will be able to
Recover its cost and volume? How much should be the output to earn
Capital budgeting: it is the process of making investment decisions in
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 11
capital expenditure. It is an expenditure the benefits of which are to be
received over a expected period of time. It is an expenditure incurred for
acquiring or improving the fixed assets.
Working capital management: no business can run without an
adequate amount of working capital. Working capital refers to that part of
firm’s capital which is required for financing short term or current receipts
such as cash receivables and inventories.
Profit planning and control: the excess of revenue over expenditure
determines the amount of profit. Profit planning and control directly
influence the declaration of dividend, creation of surpluses, taxation etc.
Dividend policy: dividend policy is an important area of financial
management because interests of the shareholders and the needs of the
company are directly related to it.
After preparation of the financial statements, one may be interested in
knowing the position of an enterprise from different points of view. This can be
done by analyzing the financial statement with the help of different tools of
analysis such as ratio analysis, funds flow analysis, cash flow analysis,
comparative statement analysis, etc. Here I have done financial analysis by
ratios. In this process, a meaningful relationship is established between two or
more accounting figures for comparison.
Financial ratios are widely used for modeling purposes both by practitioners
and researchers. The firm involves many interested parties, like the owners,
management, personnel, customers, suppliers, competitors, regulatory
agencies, and academics, each having their views in applying financial
statement analysis in their evaluations. Practitioners use financial ratios, for
instance, to forecast the future success of companies, while the researchers'
main interest has been to develop models exploiting these ratios. Many
distinct areas of research involving financial ratios can be discerned.
Historically one can observe several major themes in the financial analysis
literature. There is overlapping in the observable themes, and they do not
necessarily coincide with what theoretically might be the best founded areas.

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 12
Financial statements are those statements which provide information about
profitability and financial position of a business. It includes two statements,
i.e., profit & loss a/c or income statement and balance sheet or position
statement.
The income statement presents the summary of the income earned and the
expenses incurred during a financial year. Position statement presents the
financial position of the business at the end of the year.
Before understanding the meaning of analysis of financial statements, it is
necessary to understand the meaning of ‗analysis’ and ‗financial statements‘.
Analysis means establishing a meaningful relationship between various items
of the two financial statements with each other in such a way that a conclusion
is drawn. By financial statements, we mean two statements-
(1)Profit & loss a/c
(2)Balance sheet.
These are prepared at the end of a given period of time. They are indicators of
profitability and financial soundness of the business concern. Thus, analysis of
financial statements means establishing meaningful relationship between various
items of the two financial statements, i.e., income statement and position
statement Parties interested in analysis of financial statements Analysis of
financial statement has become very significant due to widespread interest of
various parties in the financial result of a business unit.
The various persons interested in the analysis of financial statements are:-
Short- term creditors:
They are interested in knowing whether the amounts owing to them will be paid as
and when fall due for payment or not.
Long –term creditors:
They are interested in knowing whether the principal amount and interest
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 13
thereon will be paid on time or not.
Shareholders:
They are interested in profitability, return and capital appreciation.
Management :
The management is interested in the financial position and performance of the
enterprise as a whole and of its various divisions.
Trade unions :
They are interested in financial statements for negotiating the wages or salaries or
bonus agreement with management.
Taxation authorities
These authorities are interested in financial statements for determining the tax
liability.
RATIO ANALYSIS:-
Ratio Analysis enables the business owner/manager to spot trends in a business
and to compare its performance and condition with the average performance of
similar businesses in the same industry. To do this compare your ratios with the
average of businesses similar to yours and compare your own ratios for several
successive years, watching especially for any unfavorable trends that may be
starting. Ratio analysis may provide the all-important early warning indications
that allow you to solve your business problems before your business is destroyed
by them. The Balance Sheet and the Statement of Income are essential, but they
are only the starting point for successful financial management. Apply Ratio
Analysis to Financial Statements to analyze the success, failure, and progress of
your business.
Importance of financial statement analysis in an
organization.
In our money-oriented economy, Finance may be defined as provision of money at
the time it is needed. To everyone responsible for provision of funds, it is problem
of securing importance to so adjust his resources as to provide for a regular HKBK DC

outflow of expenditure in face of an irregular inflow of income.
1. The profit and loss account (Income Statement).
2. The balance sheet
In companies, these are the two statements that have been prescribed and their
contents have been also been laid down by law in most countries including India.
There has been increasing emphasis on
(a) Giving information to the shareholder in such a manner as to enable them to
grasp it easily.30
(b) Giving much more information e.g. funds flow statement, again with a view to
facilitating easy understanding and to place a year results in perspective through
comparison with post year results.
(c) The directors report being quite comprehensive to cover the factors that have
been operating and are likely to operate in the near future as regards to the
various functions of production, marketing, finance, labour, government policies,
environment in general.
Financial statements are being made use of increasingly by parties like Bank,
Governments, Institutions, and Financial Analysis etc. The statement should be
sufficiently informative so as to serve as wide a curia as possible.
The financial statement is prepared by accounts based on the activities that take
place in production and non-production wings in a factory. The accounts convert
activities in monetary terms to the help know the position.
Uses of Financial Statement Analysis.
The main uses of accounting statements for; -
Executives: - To formulate policies.
Bankers: - To establish basis for Granting Loans.
Institutions \ Auditors: - To extend Credit facility to business.
Investors: - To assess the prospects of the business and to know whether
they can get a good return on their investment.
Accountants: - To study the statement for comparative purposes.
Government Agencies: - To study from an angle of tax collection duty levee
etc
PRECAUTATIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR USE OF RATIOS
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 15
The calculation of ratios may not be difficult task but their use is not easy. The
Information on which these are based, the constraints of financial statements,
Objective for using them, the caliber of the analyst, etc. are important factors
Which influence the use of ratios? Following effective factors which must be
Kept in mind while interpreting various ratios:
Accuracy of financial statements: The ratios are calculated from the data
available in financial statements. The reliability of ratios is linked to the accuracy of information
in the statements. These statements should also be properly audited by competent auditors. The
precautions will establish the reliability of data given in the financial statements.
Objective or purpose of analysis: the type of ratios to be calculated will
depend upon the purpose for which these are required. If the purpose is to study current financial
position then ratios relating to current assets and current liabilities will be studied. The purpose
of ‘user’ is also important for the analysis of ratios. Creditors, a banker, an investor, a share
holder, all have different objects for studying ratios.
Selection of ratios: another precaution in ratio analysis is the proper selection of
appropriate ratios. The ratio should match the purpose for which these are required. Calculation
of large number of ratios without determining their need in the present context may confuse the
things instead of solving them. Only those ratios should be selected which can throw proper light
on the matter to be discussed.
Use of standards: the ratios will give an indication of financial position only when
discussed with reference to certain standards. Unless otherwise these ratios are compared with
certain standards one will not be able to reach at conclusions.
Caliber of the analyst: the ratios are only the tools of analysis and their interpretation will
depend upon the caliber and competence of the analyst. He should be familiar with various
financial statements and the significance of changes etc. a wrong interpretation may create havoc
for the concern since wrong conclusions may lead to wrong decisions. The utility of ratios is
linked to the expertise of the analyst.
Ratios provide only a base: the ratios are only guidelines for the analyst, he should not
base his decisions entirely on them. He should study any other relevant information, situation in
the concern, general economic concern, general economic environment, etc. before reaching
final conclusions.

Functional classification or classification according to tests:
This is the most widely accepted classification of accounting ratios. Under this classification, accounting ratios
are classified on the basis of their nature or functions and in view of the financial management or according to
the tests satisfied, various ratios have been classified as follows:

LIQUIDITY RATIOS:
These are the ratios which measure the short-term solvency or financial position of a firm. These ratios are
calculated to comment upon the short-term paying capacity of a concern or the firm’s ability to meets current
obligations. The various liquidity ratios are: current ratio, liquid ratio and absolute liquid ratio. Further to see
efficiency with which liquid resources have been employed by a firm, debtor’s turnover and creditor’s turnover
ratios are calculated.
The principal liquidity ratios are:
Current ratio or working capital ratio
liquid, Quick ratio, or acid test ratio
Absolute liquid ratio, cash ratio, or super quick ratio.
CURRENT RATIO:
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. This ratio, also
known as working capital ratio, is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the analysis of
a short-term financial position or liquidity of a firm. It is calculated by dividing the total of current assets by total
of current liabilities.
QUICK OR ACID TEST OR LIQUID RATIO:
Quick ratio is that ratio which expresses the relationship between quick or liquid assets and current liabilities.
Quick/liquid ratio may be defined as the relationship between quick/liquid assts and current or liquid liabilities.
An asset is said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short period of time. Current assets include
inventories and prepaid expenses which are not easily convertible into cash, thus are excluded in
liquid/quick/acid test ratio which is more rigorous test of liquidity.
ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO OR CASH RATIO:
Although receivables, debtors and bills receivable are generally more liquid than inventories, yet there may be
doubts regarding their realization into cash immediately or in time. Hence, some authorities are of the opinion
that the absolute liquid ratio should also be calculated together with current ratio and acid test ratio so as exclude
even receivables from the current assets and find out the absolute liquid assets. Absolute liquid assets include
cash in hand and at bank and marketable securities or temporary investments

ACTIVITY RATIOS
Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources of a firm have been employed.
These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being turned
over into sales e.g. debtors turnover ratio.
The principal activity ratios are:
Inventory turnover ratio.
Debtors/receivables turnover ratio.
Creditors/payables turnover ratio.
Working capital turnover ratio.
Fixed assets turnover ratio.
Total assets turnover ratio.
Capital employed turnover ratio.
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO:
Inventory Turnover Ratio (I.T.R) indicates the number of times the stock has been turned over during the period
and evaluates the efficiency with which a firm is able to manage its inventory.
DEBTORS OR RECEIVABLE TURNOVER RATIO:
Debtors/Receivables Turnover or Debtors Velocity
Debtor’s turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of firm. In simple words, it indicates the number
of times average debtors (receivables) are turned over during a year.
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 21
Average Collection Period Ratio
The average collection period represents the average number of days for which a firm has to wait before its
receivables are converted into cash
CREDITORS/PAYABLES TURNOVER RATIO:
Creditor’s turnover ratio indicates the velocity of credit payment of firm. In simple words, it indicates the
number of times average creditors (payables) are turned over during a year.
Average Payment Period
The average payment period represents the average number of days for which a firm has to wait before its
payables are converted into cash.
WORKING CAPITAL TURNOVER RATIO:
Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilisation of net working capital. This ratio indicates
the number of times the working capital is turned over in the course of a year. This ratio measures the efficiency
with which the working capital is being used by a firm.
FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:
Fixed assets turnover ratio is the ratio between fixed assets and turnover. Fixed assets, here, mean net fixed
assets, i.e., fixed assets less depreciation. Turnover means net sales, i.e., total sales less sales returns. A fixed asset
turnover ratio indicates the utilization of assets in generating sales.
TOTAL ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:
Total assets turnover ratio is the ratio between the total assets and turnover or sales (i.e., net sales).
CAPITAL EMPLOYED TURNOVER RATIO:
Capital employed turnover ratio is the ratio between sales (i.e., net sales) and capital (i.e., long-term funds,
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 22
comprising owners’ funds and long-term borrowed funds) employed in the business
PROFITABILITY RATIO
Profitability ratio measures the results of business operations or overall performance and effectiveness of the
firm. Profitability ratios are the ratios, which measure the profitability of a concern. In other words, they are the
ratios, which reveal the total effect of the business transactions on the profit position of an enterprise, and
indicate how far the enterprise has been successful in its aim.
Profitability ratios may be classified into two categories. They are
Profitability ratio in relation to sales:
Gross profit ratio
Net profit ratio
Operating ratio
Operating profit ratio
GROSS PROFIT RATIO:
It measures the relationship of gross profit to net sales and is usually represented as a percentage.
OPERATING RATIO:
Operating ratio establishes the relationship between cost of goods sold and other operating expenses on the
one hand and sales on the other. In other words, it measures the cost of operations per rupee of sales
Interpretation of Operating Ratio:
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 23
Operating ratio indicates the percentage of net sales that is consumed by operating cost. Obviously, higher the
operating ratio, the less favorable it is, because it would have a small margin (operating profit) to cover interest,
income-tax, dividend and reserves. However, 75 to 85% may be considered to be a good ratio in case of a
manufacturing undertaking.
OPERATING PROFIT RATIO:
Operating Profit = Net Sales – Operating Cost
Or
= Net Sales – (Cost of Goods Sold+ Administrative and Office expenses + Selling and Distributive Expenses)
NET PROFIT RATIO:
Net profit ratio establishes the relationship between net profit (after taxes) and sales, and indicates the
efficiency of the management in manufacturing, selling, administrative and other activities of the firm.
Profitability ratios in relation to investments:
Return on shareholders’ investment
Return on equity capital
Earnings per share
Return on capital employed
RETURN ON SHAREHOLDERS INVESTMENT ON NET WORTH:
Return on shareholders investment popularly known as ROI or return on share holder/proprietors funds is the
relationship between net profits (after interest and tax) and the proprietor’s funds.
RETURN ON EQUITY CAPITAL:
In real sense, ordinarily shareholders are the real owners of the company. They assume the highest risk in the
company; preference shareholders have a preference over ordinary shareholders in the payment of dividend as
well as capital. Preference shareholders get a fixed rate of dividend irrespective of the quantum of profits of the
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 24
company.
EARNINGS PER SHARE (E.P.S):
Earnings per share are a small variation of return on equity capital and are calculated by dividing the net profit
after taxes and preference dividend by the total number of equity shares.
RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED RATIO:
Return on capital employed establishes the relationship between profits and the capital employed. It is the
primary ratio and most widely used to measure the overall profitability and efficiency of a business.

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 26
Research simply means a search for facts, answer to questions and solution to problems. Research is a systematic and logical study of an issue or problem or phenomenon through scientific method. It is a systematic and objective analysis and according of controlled observations that may lead to development generalization principle resulting in prediction and possibly ultimate control of events.
A research design is simply the framework or plan for a study that is used as a guide in collecting and analyzing the data. A research design is arrangements of condition for the collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy procedure. There various research design but descriptive and analytical research design is more suitable for the study. Research design is a logical and systematic planning which helps in directing to carry out a research.
It is overall operational pattern or framework of the project that stipulates what information is to be collected from which sources and by what procedures.
TITLE OF THE STUDY:
A Study on ‘RATIO ANALSIS’ With reference to HMT watches ltd.
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM:
Changes in the financial performance of the company could be due to several reasons,
changes in profitability, due to operating inefficiency, inefficiency in management of
debtors and inventories or underutilisation of company resources and such kind of many
more other reasons. The financial position of the company cannot be immobile, but it is
dynamic owing to the shift in its financial position with regard to various financial
parameters.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
Analysis of the financial performance tries to visualise the reasons for shift in a sound
financial position and tires to establish a trend of the direction toward which the business
is moving. Therefore using general expression, the statement of the problem could be
generalized as an exposure of reasons for variation in the financial position of the
company.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
This project is a financial analysis of the company. Financial performance evaluation and
innumerable analytical studies have proved the utility and usefulness of this analytical
technique.
By analyzing financial performance by employing certain selected financial ratios the
company in question with Managers, present and potential investors, outside parties as
such as creditors and government sectors employees and many more and these parties
could get an idea of the performance of the company over the study period .While doing HKBK DC

INTERPRETATION:
Current ratio measures the firm’s short-term solvency. The standard
norm for current ratio is (2:1). It is evident from the diagram that
every year current liabilities are exceeding the current assets I.e.
current liabilities are greater than the current assets which is not
satisfactory. Therefore it can be calculated that the liquidity performance
of the company is going down day by day.

INTERPRETATION
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 55
Working capital is the difference between the inflow and outflow of funds. In
other words it is the net cash inflow. The diagram shows that the working
capital of last 5 years is always exceeding the net sales that means the net
outflow of cash is more than the net inflow of cash n the company is working
turnover is less n company is going in loss
.
4. INVENTORY TURN OVER RATIO
This Ratio is computed by dividing net sales by inventory
Thus,
Inventory turnover ratio= Net sales/ inventory
. It might be argued that the inventory turnover ratio may be

INTERPRETATIONThe numerator of this ratio is the net sales for the year and the denominator is the Inventory balance at the end of the year. This ratio is deemed to reflect the efficient the management of inventories and vice versa. This statement need not be always true. A low level of inventory may cause a higher inventory turnover ratio. From the graph it is clear that the net sales are decreasing in 2010-2011 as compared with 2009-2010. So the inventory ratio is decreasing.

INTERPRETATION
Operating margin gives analysts an idea of how much a company makes (before interest and taxes) on each dollar of sales. When looking at operating margin to determine the quality of a company, it is best to look at the change in operating margin over time and to compare the company's yearly or quarterly figures to those of its competitors. If a company's margin is increasing, it is earning more per dollar of sales. The higher the margin, the better For example, if a company has an operating margin of 12%, this means that it makes $0.12 (before interest and taxes) for every dollar of sales.
Here the margin is very less and is going on decreasing so the company needs to increase their operating incomes as well as their net sales.

RECOMMENDATIONS, SUGGESTIONS
After analyzing the overall performance of the present and past years working, a few short comings have came to notice. The company is not doing well overall, more care should be taken about same of the aspects of working capital will add to the profitability of the company. A efficient management of all the aspects of working capital provides a financial defense against stiff competition in the market and enhances the credit worthiness of the firm, enables the management to operate efficiently and
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 67
flexible and allows the firm to take advantage of special favorable opportunities.
Keeping this view, the following recommendations are put forth after a detailed study was made:
1. The company can make an attempt to increase the sales by increasing advertisement and adding more distribution network.
2. Investment of excess cash balance in fixed deposit accounts in bank will yield better returns and also the liquidity position of the company will not be harmed.
3. However the sales of the company decreased from last 4 years. The company cannot follow a tight credit policy or restricting credit. Though, the company can make an attempt to bringing down the average collection period which has greatly exceeded by the warranted credit period.
4. The company can contribute towards better turnover figures if its marketing and distribution network is strengthened.
5. Operating profit is increased but the total income is decrease from last 4 years so other expenses can be reduced overcome this problem.
6. Better to invest in Fixed assets when there is more than sufficient capital
7. The company must take certain precautions to reduce the operating Expenses.
8. The credit purchase period is more in purchasing the raw materials so reduce the credit purchase.
9. Return on Investment is very less when compare to previous year so Take some decisions to increase the returns.
CONCLUSION
Ratios make the related information comparable. A single figure by
itself has no meaning, but when expressed in terms of a related figure,
it yields significant interferences. Thus, ratios are relative figures
HKBK DC
RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 68
reflecting the relationship between related variables. Their use as tools
of financial analysis involves their comparison as single ratios, like
absolute figures, are not of much use.
Ratio analysis has a major significance in analyzing the financial
performance of a company over a period of time. Decisions affecting
product prices, per unit costs, volume or efficiency have an impact on
the profit margin or turnover ratios of a company.
Financial ratios are essentially concerned with the identification of
significant accounting data relationships, which give the decision-
maker insights into the financial performance of a company.
The analysis of financial statements is a process of evaluating the
relationship between component parts of financial statements to
obtain a better understanding of the firm‘s position and performance.
The first task of financial analyst is to select the information relevant
to the decision under consideration from the total information
contained in the financial statements. The second step is to arrange
the information in a way to highlight significant relationships. The final
step is interpretation and drawing of inferences and conclusions. In
brief, financial analysis is the process of selection, relation and
evaluation.
Ratio analysis in view of its several limitations should be considered
only as a tool for analysis rather than as an end in itself. The reliability
and significance attached to ratios will largely hinge upon the quality of
data on which they are based. They are as good or as bad as the data
itself. Nevertheless, they are an important tool of financial analysis.
