PREFACE Finance play a vital role in every aspect of the business, because every enterprise whether big or small needs finance to carry on its operations. In fact, finance is so indispensable that it is rightly said the life blood of an enterprise. Considering this point, I decided to choose the topic of financial analysis which is considered with the financial position of the organization, because it reflects the financial soundness of the company and is a mirror to the health of the business.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS – TERORETICAL ASPECT

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS MEANING OF FINANCE:- Finance may be defined as the provision of money at the time when it is require. All kinds of enterprise need finance to carry on its operations and to achieve its targets. Finance can rightly be regarded as the lifeblood of an enterprise as without adequate finance no enterprise can possibly accomplish its objective.

FINANCE STATEMENTS:-

Financial statements are the sources of information

on the basis of which conclusions are drawn about the profitability and financial position of a concern. They are major means employed by firm to present their financial situation to owners, creditors and the general public.

Thus the term “Financial Statements” generally refers to 2 statements: I. The position statement of the balance sheet; and II. The income statement of the profit and loss

Acc. To John Myer, “The financial statements provide a summary of s of a business enterprise, the balance sheet reflection the assets, liabilities and capital as on a certain date the income statement showing the results of operations during a certain period.” Robert N. Anthony defines financial statements as, “interim reports, presented annually and reflecting a division of the life of an enterprise in to more or less arbitrary ing period period-more frequently a year” 17

FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS Financial statements provided only a summarized view of financial position and operations of firm. They are not much useful in understanding the strategic aspects of the information provided herein. However, information provided in the financial statements is of immense use in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of financial statements. Financial Statements analysis is “the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by establishing strategic relationship between the items of the balance sheet, profit and loss a/c and other operational data. The focus of financial analysis is on key figures in the statements and the significant relationships that exist between them so as to make analysis judgment about the profitability and financial soundness of the firm.

According to Metcalf and Titard Financial Statement parts of a financial statement to obtain a better understanding of a firm’s position and performance”.

Following steps are followed while making financial statement analyses: To select the information relevant to the decision under consideration from the total information contained in the financial statement.  To arrange information in a way to highlight significant relationship:  Interpretation and drawing of inferences and conclusions.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

On the basis of Material Used

External Analysis

Internal Analysis

ON THE BASIS OF MATERIAL USED (a) External Analysis :- External analysis is one, which is done by outsiders having no access to the detailed ing records of business firm. Published s of the firm are used to draw relevant information about limitations of information provided in financial statements.

19

(b) Internal Analysis :- Financial Analysis done by persons engaged in the working of an organization is termed as internal analysis. Executives, employees or the govt. agencies that have statutory power vested in them can perform it.

ON THE BASIS OF MODUS OPERANDI (a) Horizontal analysis :- Horizontal analysis also known as ‘Dynamic analysis’ is based on the data from year to year rather than on data of any one year. It makes it possible to focus attention on items that have changed significantly during the period under review. Comparison of an item over several period with a base year may show a trend developing.

(b) Vertical analysis :- Vertical analysis also known as ‘static analysis’ involves the statements of one of one ing year with a base item selected from the same year’s statement. Common-size financial statements and financial ratios are two tools employed to vertical analysis.

METHODS/DEVICES/TOOLS OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS A number of Methods or devices are used to study the relationship between different statements. Some of important techniques used are as follow:     

COMPARTIVES STATEMENTS The comparative financial statements are the statement of financial position at different periods of time; where the various elements of financial position are shown in a comparative from so as to give on idea of financial position at 2 or more periods. From practical point of view generally, two financial statement i.e. balance Sheet & Income Statement are prepared in comparative from for analysis purpose. The comparatives statement show: •

Absolute figures

•

Changes in financial figures i.e. increase or decrease in absolute figures

•

Absolute data in of percentages.

•

Increase or decrease in of percentages

However, it must always be ed that financial data will be comparative only when same ing principles are used in preparing these statement. In case of any deviation, the fact must be mentioned at the foot financial statement and a careful analysis should be made.

21

COMPARATIVE BALANCE SHEET The comparative balance sheet shows the items of balance sheets of two or more years in comparative form, enabling the analyst to from an opinion about the progress of an enterprise. The comparative balance sheet has four columns-two for the data of original balance sheets, one showing absolute changes in items (increase/decrease), one for giving the values of % of increase or decrease.

COMPARTIVE INCOME STATEMENT Comparative Income Statement provides a cooperative view of items of revenues and expenditures of 2 or more financial years. It enables the analyst to judge the relative changes in the profitability of company.

22

COMMON-SIZE STATEMENTS The common-size statement are shown in analytical percentages. The figures are shown as percentage of total assets total liabilities and total sales, the total assets/total liabilities or sales as the case may be are as taken 100 and different items of balance sheet and profit and loss a/c (as the may be) are expressed as % of total. Thus, the analyst is able to assess the figures in relation to total value. The common size statement may be prepared in the following way: 1)

Take the total assets/Liabilities/sales as 100;

2)

Calculate percentages of various items in relation to total.

Common-size statement can also be prepared for balance sheet and profit & loss a/c. Thus, we can have common-size balance sheet and common-size profit & loss a/c.

COMMON-SIZE BALANCE SHEET:A statement, in which Balance Sheet items are expressed as the ratio asset to total asset & each liability to total liability is called common size balance sheet. Such a statement can be used to compare companies of differing size. The comparison of figures in different periods is not of much use because total figures may affected by a number of factor. It is not possible o establish standard norms for various assets Even the trend percentages may give misleading result. In such circumstances, common-size statement is the best tool in the hands of analyst.

COMMON-SIZE INCOME STATEMENT:The items income statement can be shown as & sales to shown the relation of each item to sales. A significant relationship can be established between items of income statement

and volume of sales. This statement is very helpful in evaluating operational efficiency of the enterprise.

23

CASH FLOW STATEMENTS Cash Flow Statements is one of the must useful techniques to analyze the cash position of a concern. Cash Plays a very important role in the entire economic life of a business. Sometimes business enterprise face cash crisis even having sufficient profits. Thus, the movement of cash is of vital importance to the management. A cash flow statement is prepared to study the flow of cash in an organization. It is a statement, which describes the inflows (source) and outflows (uses) of cash and cash equipments in an enterprise during a specified period of time. Such a statement enumerates net effects of the various business transactions on cash and its equivalents and takes in to receipts and disbursements of cash. A cash flow statements summarizes the cause of changes in cash position of a business enterprise between dates of two balance sheets. According to As-3 (revised), an enterprise should prepare statements are prepared.

CLASSIFICATION OF CASH FLOWS According to As 3(revised), the cash flow statement should report cash flows during the period classified by operating , investing and financing activities. Thus, cash flow are classified in to three main categories: 1)

Cash flows from operating activities

2)

Cash flows from investing activities

3)

Cash flows from investing activities

1) Cash Flows From Operating Activities:- Operating activities are the principal revenue generating activities of the enterprise and other activities that are not investing or financing activities. The amount of cash flows arising from operating activities is a key

indicator of the extent to extent to which the operations of enterprise have generated sufficient cash flows to maintain the operating capability of the enterprise.

24

Examples of cash flows from operating activities are: Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services.  Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commission and other revenue.  Cash payments to suppliers of goods and services.  Cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can specifically be identified with financing and investing activities etc;

2) Cash flows from Investing activities are: Cash payments to acquire fixed assets.  Cash payments to acquire shares, warrants, or debt instruments of other companies and interesting t ventures.  Cash receipts from disposals of shares, warrants, or debt instruments of other companies and interest in t venture.  Cash advances and loans made to third parties(other than advances and loans made by a financial institution).  Cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to third parties(other than advances and loans of a financial enterprise);  Cash payments or receipt from future contracts, forward contracts, opinion contracts, and swap contracts except when the contract are held for trading or dealing purposes, not where they are classified as financing activities.

3) Cash flows From financing Activities:- Financing Activities are activities that result in change in the size and composition of the owner’s capital and borrowings of the enterprise. The separate disclosure of cash flows of cash flows arising from financing

activities is important because it is useful in predicting claims on future cash flows by providers of funds.

25

Examples of cash flows from investing activities are: a. Cash proceeds from issuing shares and other similar instruments; b. Cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, note, and other short term or long term borrowings; and c. Cash repayments of amounts borrowed such as redemption of debentures, bonds and preference shares.

USES OF CASH FLOW STATEMENT A cash flow statement is of primary importance to the financial management. It is an essential tool of short-term financial analysis. Its main uses are as follows: 1. Cash flow statement facilitates to prepare sound financial policies. It also helps to evaluate the current cash position. 2. A projected cash flow statement can be prepared in order to know future cash position of a concern so as to enable a firm to plan and coordinate its financial operations properly. 3. It helps the managements in taking short-term financial decisions. 4. Cash flow statements provides information of all activities classified under operating investing and financing activities. 5. Cash flow statement prepared according to AS-3 (revised) is more suitable for making comparisons than the fund flow statement, as there is no standard format used for the same. 6. Cash flow analysis is more useful and appropriate than funds flow analysis for short-term financial analysis as in a very short period it is cash which is more

relevant than the working capital for forecasting the ability of firm to meet its immediate obligations.

26

7. It better explain the cause for poor cash position in spite of substantial profits in a firm by throwing light on various applications of cash made by firm.

Trend Analysis One of the techniques of financial analysis is trend analysis. Trends of series of information of a concern may be development easily in order to analyze the financial statements of a particular concern. Trends Show the upward or downward directions in figures of a particular item (may be of profit & kiss a/c or of balance sheet) by establishing the percentage relationships with the figures of base year. Usually the figures of base year taken as 100 and trend ratios for other years are calculated on basis of base year.

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING TRENDS:1) Select a base year. Generally, the first or last year is taken as base year. 2) Taken the figures of base year as 100 for comparison purpose. 3) Calculate trend percentages in relation to base year.

27

MEANING, SIGNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF FUNDS FLOW STATEMENTS MEANING: Funds Flow Statements is a method by which we study changes in the financial position of a business enterprise between beginning and ending financial statement dates. It is a statement showing sources and uses of funds for a period of time. Funds Flow Statements is a statement which indicates various means by which the funds have been obtained during a certain period and the ways to which these funds have been used during that period. The term ‘Funds’ used here means working capital that is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. The term ‘Flow’ means movement and includes both inflow and outflow. The term ‘Flow of Funds’ means transfer of economic values from one asset of equity to another. The flow of funds occurs when a transaction changes on the one hand a non current and on the other a current and vice-versa. If any transaction results in the increase in funds, it is said to be an application or outflow of funds.

SIGNIFICANCE: The Significance of funds flow statement can be well followed from its various uses given below: 1. It helps in the analysis of financial operations. 2. It throws light on many perplexing questions of general interest which may be otherwise difficult to be answered such as:

28

•

Why were the net current assets lesser in spite of higher profits and vice-versa?

•

Why more dividends could not be declared in spite of available profits?

•

What happened to the net profit? Where did they go?

•

What happened to the proceeds of sale of fixed assets or issue of shares, debentures, etc.?

•

How was the increase in working capital financed and how will it be financed in future?

3. It helps in the formation of realistic dividend policy. 4. It helps in the proper allocation of resources. 5. It acts as a future guide. 6. It helps in appraising the use of working capital. 7. It helps knowing the overall credit worthiness of a firm.

29

VALUE ADDED ANALYSIS Value added is a basic and important measurement to judge the performance of an enterprises. The origin of this concept in the field of ing may be traced back to the year 1975 when the ing Standards Steering commission in U.K. has stressed the inclusions of value added in the corporate Annual Report. The corporate report (issued in July 1995) recommended and concluded that there is a need for s Statement reports the operating performance of a company at a given point of time using both accrual and matching procedures The concept of value added has a direct linkage with the concept of “Social Responsibility”.
