Financial Statements
Financial statements provide information about the financial activities and position of a firm. Important financial statements are:
Balance sheet Profit & Loss statement Cash flow statement

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Balance Sheet
Balance sheet indicates the financial condition of a firm at a specific point of time. It contains information about the firms: assets, liabilities and equity. Assets are always equal to equity and liabilities: Assets = Equity + Liabilities

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Assets
Assets are economic resources or properties owned by the firm. There are two types of assets:
Fixed assets Current assets

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Current Assets
Current assets (liquid assets) are those which can be converted into cash within a year in the normal course of business. Current assets include:

Shareholders Funds or Equity


Share capital is owners contribution divided into shares. A share is a certificate acknowledging the amount of capital contributed by the shareholder. Shareholders equity has two parts: (i) paid-up share capital, and (ii) reserves and surplus (retained earnings) representing undistributed profits. Paid-up share capital and reserve and surplus together are called net worth.
11 prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Nature of Revenues
Revenue is the amount received or receivable within the accounting period from the sale of the firms goods or services. Operating revenue is the one that arises from main operations of the firm, and the revenue arising from other activities is called nonoperating revenue.

12

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Nature of Expenses
Expense is the amount paid or payable within the accounting period for generating revenue.
Examples: raw material consumed, salary and wages, power and fuel, repairs and maintenance, rent, selling and marketing expenses, administrative expenses.

Expenses are expired costs and capital expenditures represent un-expired costs and appear as assets in balance sheet.
13 prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Concepts of Profit
Gross profit = sales cost of goods sold (CGS) CGS = raw material consumed + manufacturing expenses of goods that have been sold PBDIT = Profit before dep., interest and tax = sales expenses, except dep., interest and tax Operating profit (OP), OP = GP OEXP DEP PBIT= Profit before interest and tax= PBDIT DEP PBT= Profit before tax = PBIT Interest PAT = Profit after tax = PBT Tax Net operating profit after tax (NOPAT)=PBIT (1 Tax rate)

CASH FLOW STATEMENT


A statement of changes in financial position on cash basis, commonly known as the cash flow statement, summarizes the causes of changes in cash position between dates of the two balance sheets.

It indicates the sources and uses of cash.

This statement analyzes changes in noncurrent accounts as well as current accounts (other than cash) to determine the flow of cash.

15

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Sources of Cash
The profitable operations of the firm, Decrease in assets (except cash), Increase in liabilities (including debentures or bonds), and Sale proceeds from an ordinary or preference share issue.

16

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

Uses of Cash
The loss from operations Increase in assets (except cash) Decrease in liabilities Redemption of redeemable preference shares Cash dividends

Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strengths and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined.

Basis of Comparison
1) Trend Analysis involves comparison of a firm over a period of time, that is, present ratios are compared with past ratios for the same firm. It indicates the direction of change in the performance improvement, deterioration or constancy over the years. 2) Interfirm Comparison involves comparing the ratios of a firm with those of others in the same lines of business or for the industry as a whole. It reflects the firms performance in relation to its competitors.

3) Comparison with standards or industry average.

Inventory Turnover Ratio


The ratio indicates how fast inventory is sold. A high ratio is good from the viewpoint of liquidity and vice versa. A low ratio would signify that inventory does not sell fast and stays on the shelf or in the warehouse for a long time.

Cost of goods sold


Inventory turnover ratio = Average inventory

The cost of goods sold means sales minus gross profit. The average inventory refers to the simple average of the opening and closing inventory.
prateeksparihar@gmail.com 28

Example 2: Inventory Turnover Ratio


A firm has sold goods worth Rs 3,00,000 with a gross profit margin of 20 per cent. The stock at the beginning and the end of the year was Rs 35,000 and Rs 45,000 respectively. What is the inventory turnover ratio?

Debtors Turnover Ratio


The ratio measures how rapidly receivables are collected. A high ratio is indicative of shorter time-lag between credit sales and cash collection. A low ratio shows that debts are not being collected rapidly.

Debtors turnover ratio

Net credit sales

Debtors collection period

Creditors Turnover Ratio


A low turnover ratio reflects liberal credit terms granted by suppliers, while a high ratio shows that accounts are to be settled rapidly. The creditors turnover ratio is an important tool of analysis as a firm can reduce its requirement of current assets by relying on suppliers credit.

Creditors turnover ratio

Net credit purchases Average creditors

Net credit purchases = Gross credit purchases - Returns to suppliers. Average creditors = Average of creditors (including bills payable) outstanding at the beginning and at the end of the year.
prateeksparihar@gmail.com 32

Example 4: Creditors Turnover Ratio


The firm in previous Examples has made credit purchases of Rs

1,80,000. The amount payable to the creditors at the beginning


and at the end of the year is Rs 42,500 and Rs 47,500 respectively. Find out the creditors turnover ratio.

The summing up of the three turnover ratios (known as a cash cycle) has a bearing on the liquidity of a firm. The cash cycle captures the interrelationship of sales, collections from debtors and payment to creditors.

The combined effect of the three turnover ratios is summarised below:


Inventory holding period Add: Debtors collection period Less: Creditors payment period 2 months + 1.5 months 3 months 0.5 months

As a rule, the shorter is the cash cycle, the better are the liquidity ratios as measured above and vice versa.

Leverage Capital Structure Ratio


There are two aspects of the long-term solvency of a firm: (i) Ability to repay the principal when due, and

(ii) Regular payment of the interest . Capital structure or leverage ratios throw light on the long-term solvency of a firm. Accordingly, there are two different types of leverage ratios.
First type: These ratios are computed from the balance sheet Second type: These ratios are computed from the Income Statement

(a) Debt-equity ratio


(b) Debt-assets ratio (c) Equity-assets ratio

(a) Interest coverage ratio


(b) Dividend coverage ratio

prateeksparihar@gmail.com

6 - 35

I. Debt-equity ratio
Debt-equity ratio measures the ratio of long-term or total debt to shareholders equity.

Debt-equity ratio measures the ratio of long-term or+ Other Current debt Total Debt Liabilities = Total external Debt-equity ratio = total de3bt to shareholders equity Shareholders equity Obligations

Long-term Debt + Short term

If the D/E ratio is high, the owners are putting up relatively less money of their own. It is danger signal for the lenders and creditors. If the project should fail financially, the creditors would lose heavily. A low D/E ratio has just the opposite implications. To the creditors, a relatively high stake of the owners implies sufficient safety margin and substantial protection against shrinkage in assets.
prateeksparihar@gmail.com 36

For the company also, the servicing of debt is less burdensome and consequently its credit standing is not adversely affected, its operational flexibility is not jeopardised and it will be able to raise additional funds. The disadvantage of low debt-equity ratio is that the shareholders of the firm are deprived of the benefits of trading on equity or leverage.

Common Size Statements


Preparation of common-size financial statements is an extension of ratio analysis. These statements convert absolute sums into more easily understood percentages of some base amount. It is sales in the case of income statement and totals of assets and liabilities in the case of the balance sheet.

Limitations
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.

Solution: The appraisal of financial health of RIL is presented below. Liquidity Analysis: The liquidity position of RIL does not appear to be commendable during all the years under reference. In fact, its current ratio was less than one implying negative working capital (in 2003) and acid-test ratio was at an alarming low level of 0.2. Though the current ratio range of 1.33 1.85 (during 2001-2 and 2004-6) is an indicative of satisfactory liquidity position, the acid-test ratios appear to be on the lower side, the range being 0.20 0.55 (during 2002-6). The major reason for the sharp difference in these two liquidity ratios may be ascribed to a significant proportion of inventory (in current assets). The other notable observation is that the RIL seems to be banking on bank borrowings to finance its working capital requirements evidenced by a substantial increase in such borrowings over the years. From 337.76 crore (in 2001), they steadily increased to 7,193.77 crore (by 2003) and to Rs 11,438.69 crore by 2006: (registering more than 30 times increase in 2006 compared to 2001). In fact, short-term borrowings constitute more than one-half of its total current liabilities during the 6 year period. The reliance on short-term bank borrowings, to such a marked extent, is contrary to sound tenets of finance. Likewise, it appears that its net working capital is inadequate in relation to its credit sales which stood at Rs. 89,124 crore in 2006 compared to Rs. 73,164 crore in 2005. Contrary to increase in net working capital, however, there has been a more than 50 per cent decrease in net working capital of the RIL; (the relevant figures being Rs 7,054.17 crore and Rs 3,149.15 crore in years 2005 and 2006 respectively).

The RIL has the advantage of much higher creditors payment period compared to debtors collection period. The debtors collection period (varying from 16 days in 2001 and 2002 to 21 days in 2004) seems to be at a very satisfactory level. In marked contrast, the creditors payment period is threetimes (varying in the range of 39-67 days) during the same period. This favourable gap, provides some leverage to RIL to operate at relatively low acid-test ratio. To conclude, the liquidity position of the RIL does not appear to be satisfactory. It is suggested that RIL should substitute a fair share of shortterm bank borrowings by long-term loans (which have shown sharp decrease trend over the years). Such a step would help to improve its liquidity ratios.

Solvency Analysis:
The solvency position of the RIL is sound for two reasons: First, it has a satisfactory level of interest coverage ratio during all the 6 years, being in the range of 3.32 and 13.2. The RIL is not likely to commit default in payment of interest to its lenders as even though its operating profits (EBIT) decline by more than nine-tenth (2006), it l would stil have enough margin to meet its interest obligations. Secondly, its total debt-equity ratio over the years has shown a substantial decrease from 1.39 in 2001 to 0.49 by 2006. Likewise, the long-term debt to equity ratio during over the years has improved substantially.

Profitability Analysis: The profit margins (gross, operating and net) of the RIL over the years have reduced, albeit recent improvements. For instance gross profit margin has decreased from 24.46 per cent (in 2001) to 17.43 per cent (in 2006). Likewise operating profit margins have declined from 17.62 per cent to 12.99 per cent and net profit margins from 11.56 per cent to 11.21 per cent during these years. The lower operating profit margins have an unfavourable effect on the ROR on capital employed. It fell from 20.07 per cent in 2001 to 16.11 per cent by 2006. However, it is gratifying to note that there has been an increase in other rates of return. For instance, the ROR on total assets has improved from 13.03 per cent in 2001 to 15.20 per cent in 2006. Likewise a notable increase in observed in ROR on equity funds. From 16.68 in 2003, it has increased to more than 20 per cent in 2005 as well as in 2006. There seems to be a potential for further improvement in its various RORs by increasing its gross profit and operating profit margins.
