2.1 Introduction : Financial statement analysis (or financial analysis) is the process of

reviewing and analyzing a company's financial statements to make better economic decisions.

These statements include the income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, and a

statement of changes in equity. Financial statement analysis is a method or process involving

specific techniques for evaluating risks, performance, financial health, and future prospects of

an organization. . These stakeholders have different interests and apply a variety of different

techniques to meet their needs. For example, equity investors are interested in the long-term

earnings power of the organization and perhaps the sustainability and growth of dividend

payments. Creditors want to ensure the interest and principal is paid on the organizations debt

securities (e.g., bonds) when due.

Common methods of financial statement analysis include fundamental analysis, DuPont

analysis, horizontal and vertical analysis and the use of financial ratios. Historical information

combined with a series of assumptions and adjustments to the financial information may be

used to project future performance. The Chartered Financial Analyst designation is available for

professional financial analysts.

2.2 Users of the financial statement analysis: There are a number of users of

financial statement analysis. It is used by a variety of

1. Stakeholders.

2.4 Tools of Financial statement analysis: We use various tools to evaluate the significance of financial statement data. Three commonly used tools are as follows:

Horizontal analysis: Evaluate a series of financial statement data over period of time.Vertical analysis: Evaluates financial statement data by expressing each item in a financial statement as percentage of base amount.Ratio analysis: Expresses the relationship among selected items of financial statement data.

2.5 Example of three types financial statement in Horizontal analysis method: Horizontal analysis also called trend analysis, is a technique for evaluating a series of financial data over a period of time. Its purpose is to determine the increase or decrease that has taken place. This change may be expressed as either amount or percentage. Here is a example:

Horizontal analysis of changes from period to period is relatively straightforward is quite useful. But, complications can occur in making the computations. If van item has no value in a base year or preceding year but does have a value in the next year, we can not compute a percentage change. Similarly, if a negative amount appears in the base or preceding period and a positive amount exists the following year, no percentage change can be computed.

2.6 Example of three types financial statement in vertical analysis method: Vertical analysis also called common- size analysis, is a technique that expresses each financial statement item as a percentage of base amount. On a balance sheet, we might say that current assets are 22% of total assets- total assets being the base amount. Or on an Income statement, we might say that selling expenses are 16% of net sales- net sales being the base amount. The condensed balance sheet of quality department store Inc. in horizontal method is given below:

4.1 Financial Ratios: Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial situation. Most of the ratios can be calculated from information provided in the financial statements.

Objectives of Financial Ratio Analysis:

To analyze the financial statements of ACI Ltd. To calculate the different types of financial ratios of the company. To know the financial condition of the company. To know the company’s financial development for last five years.

For calculating different types of ratios for the project work, the following formulae were used:

Liquidity Ratios:

1. Current Ratio CURRENT ASSETS CURRENT LIABILITIES

It’s a measures a company’s ability to meet short term obligations with short term assets, a useful indicator of cash flow in the near future. A social enterprise needs to ensure that it can pay its salaries, bills and expenses on time. Failure to pay loans on time may limit your future access to credit and therefore your ability to leverage operations and growth. The one problem with the current ratio is that it does not take into account the timing of cash flows

2. Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio) = QUICK ASSETS CURRENT LIABILITIES

A more stringent liquidity test that indicates if a firm has enough short-term assets (without selling inventory) to cover its immediate liabilities. This is often referred to as the “acid test” because it only looks at the company’s most liquid assets only (excludes inventory) that can be quickly converted to cash). A ratio of 1:1 means that a company can pay its bills without having to sell inventory.

3. Working Capital = Current Asset – Current Liabilities Working Capital is a measure of both a company's efficiency and its short-term financial health.

Activity Ratios:

1. Inventory Turnover Ratio = REVENUE or SLAES INVENTORY

It is the calculation the number of times inventory is turning over into sales during the year or how many days it takes to sell inventory. This is a good indication of production and purchasing efficiency. A high ratio indicates inventory is selling quickly and that little unused inventory is being stored (or could also mean inventory shortage). If the ratio is low, it suggests overstocking, obsolete inventory or selling issues.

2. Total Asset Turnover Ratio = REVENUE or SALES TOTAL ASSETS

Total Asset Turnover Ratio is the company's total revenue, the invoice, cash payments and other revenues. Total Asset Turnover Ratio represents the value of goods and services provided to customers during a specified time period - usually one year. How efficiently a business generates sales on each currency of assets. An increasing ratio indicates a company is using its assets more productively.

Profitability Ratios:

1. Net Profit Ratio = NET PROFIT SALES or REVENUE

A ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues, or net profits divided by sales. It measures how much out of every currency of sales a company actually keeps in earnings. Profit margin is very useful when comparing companies in similar industries. A higher profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs compared to its competitors. This ratio measures your ability to cover all operating costs including indirect costs.

. 2. Return on Equity = NET INCOME COMMON FOR STOCKHOLDERS STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY

The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. This is one of the most important ratios to investors. How does this return compare to less risky investments like bonds

2. Return on Assets (ROA) = NET INCOMETOTAL ASSETS

It’s a measurement of the ability of a company to turn the assets into profit. This is a very useful measure of comparison within an industry. A low ratio compared to industry may mean that your competitors have found a way to operate more efficiently. After tax interest expense can be added back to numerator since ROA measures profitability on all assets whether or not they are financed by equity or debt.

3. Earnings per Share (EPS) = NET INCOME

TOTAL NO. OF COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING

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

RATIO ANALYSIS

Financial ratios can be classified into three types. Those are: A) Liquidity ratio B) Solvency ratio C) Profitability ratio

LIQUIDITY RATIOS:

These ratios actually show the relationship of a firm’s cash and other current assets to its current liabilities. Three ratios are discussed under Liquidity ratios. They are:

1. Current ratio: This ratio indicates the extent to which current liabilities are covered by those assets expected to be converted to cash in the near future. Current assets normally include cash, marketable securities, accounts receivables, and inventories. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable, short-term notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued taxes, and other accrued expenses. Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities. Following table shows the current ratios of ACI Formulations Limited in different years.

Current ratio 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

1.92:1 1.83:1 2.05:1 2.47:1 2.74:1

Analysis: We can see that in 2010 the current assets were 1.92 times than the current liabilities. A minimum decrease is seen in 2011 but then 2012 to 2013; the ratio has kept increasing and resulted at 2.74 times in 2014. We can say that the capability of paying current liabilities through current assets is increasing.

2. Quick/ Acid Test ratio: This ratio indicates the firm’s liquidity position as well. It actually refers to the extent to which current liabilities are covered by those assets except inventories. Quick Ratio = (Current Assets-Inventories)Current Liabilities. Following table shows the Quick/ acid test ratios of ACI Formulations Limited in different years:

Acid test ratio 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

1.52:1 1.33:1 1.51:1 1.92:1 2.15:1

Analysis: We can see that in 2010 the quick assets were 1.52 times than the current liabilities. A minimum decrease is seen in 2011 &2012 but then 2013& 2014; the ratio has kept rapidly increasing and resulted at 2.15 times in 2014. We can say that the capability of paying current liabilities through quick assets is increasing.

3. Inventory Turnover Ratio: Inventory turnover measures the number of times, on average, the inventory is sold during the period. Its purpose is to measure the liquidity of the inventory.

Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory. Following table shows the inventory turnover ratios of ACI Formulations Limited in different years:

Inventory turnover ratio

2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

6.45times 5.04times 4.55times 4.27times 4.2times

Analysis:

Analysis shows a gradual declination of Inventory Turnover Ratio over the first year. In 2010 the ratio was 6.45 times, and then it rapidly decreased to 5.04 times in the following year and dropped further to 4.55 times in the year 2012, 4.27 times in 2013 and 4.2 times in 2014.

Solvency ratio:

Solvency ratios measure the ability of a company to survive over a long period of time.

Debt to total assets: The debt to total assets ratio measures the percentage of the total assets that creditors provide.

Debt to total assets ratio = Total debt / Total assets

Profitability ratios:Profitability is the net result of a number of policies and decisions. Profitability ratios show the combined effects of liquidity, asset management and debt on operating results.

There are three important profitability ratios that we are going to analyze:

1. Profit Margin 2. Asset turn over 3. Return on Asset

1. Profit margin: Profit margin is a measure of the percentage of each dollar of sales that results in net income.Profit margin = Net income / Net sales

Profit margin 2010 2011 2012 2013 201411% 10% 9% 8% 7%

Analysis: The analysis shows decreasing in its profit margin ratio from 2010 to 2014 rapidly. So we can say that our business is a high volume business.

2.Asset turnover: Asset turnover measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales.

Asset turnover = Net sales / Average assets

Asset turn over 2010 2011 2012 2013 20141.56 times 1.52 times 1.47 times 1.35 times 1.29 times

Analysis: The analysis shows decreasing in its assets turnover ratio from 2010 to 2014 rapidly. In 2010 the ratio was 1.56 times and then it rapidly decreased to 1.52 times in the following year and further decreased to 1.47 times in the year 2012, 1.35 times in 2013 and 1.29 times in 2014.

3.Return on assets: Return on assets indicates the measurement of profitability.

Return on assets = Net income / Average assets

Return on assets2010 2011 2012 2013 201417% 15% 12% 10% 8%
