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.

DEFINITIONS

“That business activity which is concerned with the acquisition and

conservation of capital funds in meeting the financial needs and overall

objectives of business enterprise.”

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

Page 7: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 10: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 11: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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.

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

Page 13: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 15: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

LONG-TERM SOLVENCY RATIO/LEVERAGE RATIO

Leverage ratios are the ratios, which measure the relative interests of the owners and creditors in an

enterprise. Long solvency ratios convey a firms ability to meet the interest costs and repayments schedules of

its long term obligations.

The principal leverage, capital structure or solvency ratios:

Long term Debt to shareholders fund (debt equity ratio).

Funded debt to total capitalisation ratio

Proprietary or equity ratio

Solvency ratio or Ratio total liabilities to total assets.

Fixed assets to net worth or proprietor’s funds ratio.

Fixed assets to long term funds or fixed assets ratio.

Ratio of current assets to proprietors funds

Debt service ratio or interest coverage ratio.

LONG TERM DEBT TO SHAREHOLDERS FUNDS (DEBT

EQUITY RATIO):

Debt equity ratio also known as external- internal equity ratio is calculated to measure the relative claims of

outsiders and the owners i.e. shareholders against the firm’s assets. This ratio indicates the relationship between

the external equities or the outsider’s funds and the internal equities or the shareholders.

FUNDED DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITALISATION RATIO:

The ratio establishes a link between the long-term funds raised from outsiders and total long-term funds

available in the business.

PROPRIETORY RATIO OR EQUITY RATIO:

The proprietary ratio which is also known as Equity Ratio or Share holders to Total Equities Ratio or Net worth to

Total Assets Ratio. This ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders funds to total assets of the firm.

The components of this ratio are Shareholders funds or Proprietors Funds and Total Assets. The shareholders

funds are Equity Share Capital, Preference Share Capital, Undistributed profits, Reserves and Surpluses.

SOLVENCY OR RATIO OF TOTAL LIABILITIES TO TOTAL

ASSETS:

This ratio is a small variant of equity ratio. The ratio indicated the relationship between the total liabilities to

outsiders to total assets of firm.

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 19

FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH RATIO OR FIXED ASSETS TO

PROPRIETORS FUNDS:

The ratio establishes the relationship between fixed assets and shareholders funds i.e. share capital plus

reserves, surpluses and retained earnings.

FIXED ASSETS TO TOTAL LONG TERM FUNDS OR FIXED

ASSETS RATIO:

The ratio indicates the extent to which the total fixed assets are financed by long-term funds of the firm.

RATIO OF CURRENT ASSETS TO PROPRIETORS FUNDS:

The ratio indicates the extent to which proprietor’s funds are invested in current assets.

DEBT SERVICE RATIO OR INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO:

Interest coverage ratio indicates the number of times interest is covered by the profits available to pay the

interest charges. Long-term creditors of a firm are interested in knowing the firms ability to pay interest on their

long-term borrowings.

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 20

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

Page 21: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 22: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 23: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 24: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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.

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

Page 55: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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.

INTERPRETATIONDuring the year 2009-2010 the net sales of the company is 105414 lakhs and the debtors value is 15172 lakhs, therefore the debtors turn over ratio is 6.94 that is near to 7.

On the other end during the year 2010-2011 the net sales is decreasing from 105414 to 88171 lakhs, and the debtors value is constantly increasing from 15172 to 15986 lakhs thus the debtors turnover ratio is increasing.

INTERPRETATION The creditor‘s turnover ratio is an important tool as a firm can reduce its requirement of current assets by relying on suppliers creditors.A low turnover ratio reflects liberal terms granted by suppliers, while a high turnover ratio shown that accounts are settled rapidly.

The graph above is showing that the creditors plot during both the years is exceeding the net purchases. So the creditors turnover ratio is below zero that is considered as nill. This indicates that creditors accounts are not setteled by the company rapidly and the company is going in loss.

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.

FINDINGS

HKBK DC

Page 66: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 66

1. Current ratio is below the standard norm or ratio of 2:1, which refers that the company is going in loss.

2. The company has not been able to maintain its quick ratio above the standard ratio i.e. 1:1

3. There is not continuous improvement in the Liquidity position of the company from 2006-07 to 2009-10

4. The debt equity has tremendously increased because the profit of the company is decreased and also the company has not repaid its long term loans.

5. Proprietary ratio is decreasing when compared to last four years; it will show the long term insolvency.

6. Operating profit ratio has been decreasing compared to last four years.

7. There is not continuous growth in the companys Net profit ratio when compared from 2006-07 to 2009-10. The company is totally going in loss.

8. The earning per share of the company is tremendously decreasing for the last four years.

9. The increase in Debtors Turnover Ratio will show that the company has increased its credit 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

Page 67: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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

Page 68: A Study on Ratio Analysis at HMT WATCHES LTD.BANGALORE

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.
