1.6 IT BACKBONE
Integrated Information Technology
An efficient information technology network is necessary for a dynamic FMCG
company where the market demands change faster than perhaps in any other industry.
At Emami, the integration of information technology transpires on a continuous basis.
This ensures that the company responds to changing market place realities faster than
its competitors and that its products reach retail shelves just when they are required.
In turn, this enhances brand loyalty and retains customers.
A successful implementation of the ERP in the offices, factories and depots
increased the company’s overall efficiency.
It enabled single-point data entry and multi-point information access. The status of
raw materials, packing materials, finished goods, indents and sales information gets
constantly updated through ERP. This has become possible due to the Point to Point
Leased Line connections.
As Emami is growing rapidly, the augmented business requirement calls for a
Standard ERP system. This would provide Real-Time information to the
Management, which would facilitate to take quick decision. The information could
also be available through email and Mobile phones. So Emami would be
implementing a Standard ERP system very shortly. Sales Forecasting, Demand
Planning, Process Management, Supply Chain Management, Primary and Secondary
Sales, I-Supplier, I-Expenses, I-Sales will be an integral part of the Standard ERP
system. Emami adopts the latest Technology for IT and communication system.

1.9 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
Financial Management is that managerial activity which is concerned with the
planning and controlling of the firm’s financial resources. Though it was a branch of
economics till 1890 as a separate or discipline it is of recent origin.
Financial Management is concerned with the duties of the finance manager in a
business firm. He performs such varied tasks as budgeting, financial forecasting, cash
management, credit administration, investment analysis and funds procurement. The
recent trend towards globalization of business activity has created new demands and
opportunities in managerial finance.
Financial statements are prepared and presented for the external users of
accounting information. As these statements are used by investors and financial
analysts to examine the firm’s performance in order to make investment decisions,
they should be prepared very carefully and contain as much investment decisions;
they should be prepared very carefully and contain as much information as possible.
Preparation of the financial statement is the responsibility of top management. The
financial statements are generally prepared from the accounting records maintained by
the firm.
Financial performance is an important aspect which influences the long term
stability, profitability and liquidity of an organization. Usually, financial ratios are
said to be the parameters of the financial performance. The Evaluation of financial
performance had been taken up for the study with “EMAMI LIMITED” as the
project.

Analysis of Financial performances is of greater assistance in locating the weak
spots at the Emami limited eventhough the overall performance may be satisfactory.
This further helps in
Financial forecasting and planning.
Communicate the strength and financial standing of the Emami limited.
For effective control of business.
CHAPTER – 2
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
2.1 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION USING RATIO
ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as “The
Indicated Quotient of Two Mathematical Expressions” and as “The Relationship
between Two or More Things”. In financial analysis, a ratio is used as a benchmark
for evaluating the financial position and performance of firm. The absolute accounting
figures reported in the financial statement do not provide a meaningful understanding
of the performance and financial position of a firm. The relationship between two
accounting figures, expressed mathematically is known as a financial ratio. Ratios
help to summaries large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative about the
firm’s financial performance.
The point to note is that a ratio reflecting a quantitative relationship helps to form a
qualitative judgment. Such is the nature of all financial ratios.
2.2 Significance of Using Ratios:
The significance of a ratio can only truly be appreciated when:
1. It is compared with other ratios in the same set of financial statements.
2. It is compared with the same ratio in previous financial statements (trend
analysis).
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 8
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
3. It is compared with a standard of performance (industry average). Such a
standard may be either the ratio which represents the typical performance of
the trade or industry, or the ratio which represents the target set by
management as desirable for the business.
2.3 Types of Ratios
2. 3.1 Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term financial
obligations when and as they fall due.
The main concern of liquidity ratio is to measure the ability of the firms to
meet their short-term maturing obligations. Failure to do this will result in the
total failure of the business, as it would be forced into liquidation.
A. Current Ratio
The Current Ratio expresses the relationship between the firm’s current assets and
its current liabilities. Current assets normally include cash, marketable securities,
accounts receivable and inventories. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable,
short term notes payable, short-term loans, current maturities of long term debt,
accrued income taxes and other accrued expenses (wages).
Current assets Current Ratio = ________________
Current liabilities
Significance:
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 9
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
It is generally accepted that current assets should be 2 times the current liabilities.
In a sound business, a current ratio of 2:1 is considered an ideal one. If current ratio is
lower than 2:1, the short term solvency of the firm is considered doubtful and it shows
that the firm is not in a position to meet its current liabilities in times and when they
are due to mature. A higher current ratio is considered to be an indication that of the
firm is liquid and can meet its short term liabilities on maturity. Higher current ratio
represents a cushion to short-term creditors, “the higher the current ratio, the greater
the margin of safety to the creditors”.

2011-2012 62,901.40 38,163.51 1.65
(Source: Annual reports)
Interpretation:
As a conventional rule, a current ratio of 2:1 is considered satisfactory. This
rule is base on the logic that in a worse situation even if the value of current assets
becomes half, the firm will be able to meet its obligation. The current ratio represents
the margin of safety for creditors. The current ratio has been decreasing year after
year which shows decreasing working capital.
From the above statement the fact is depicted that the liquidity position of the
Emami limited is unsatisfactory because after the year 2010 the current ratio have
being decreasing below the standard ratio 2:1.
B. Quick Ratio
Measures assets that are quickly converted into cash and they are compared with
current liabilities. This ratio realizes that some of current assets are not easily
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 10
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
convertible to cash e.g. inventories. The quick ratio, also referred to as acid test ratio,
examines the ability of the business to cover its short-term obligations from its
“quick” assets only (i.e. it ignores stock). The quick ratio is calculated as follows
Quick assets Quick Ratio = ________________
Current liabilities
Significance:
The standard liquid ratio is supposed to be 1:1 i.e., liquid assets should be equal to
current liabilities. If the ratio is higher, i.e., liquid assets are more than the current
liabilities, the short term financial position is supposed to be very sound. On the other
hand, if the ratio is low, i.e., current liabilities are more than the liquid assets, the
short term financial position of the business shall be deemed to be unsound. When
used in conjunction with current ratio, the liquid ratio gives a better picture of the
firm’s capacity to meet its short-term obligations out of short-term assets.

2011-2012 51,960.27 38,163.51 1.36
(Source: Annual reports)
Interpretation:
As a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered satisfactory as a firm can easily meet all
current claims. It is a more rigorous and penetrating test of the liquidity position of a
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 11
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
firm. But the liquid ratio has been decreasing year after year which indicates a high
operation of the business.
From the above statement, it is clear that the liquidity position of the Emami
limited is satisfactory. Since the entire five years liquid ratio is not below the standard
ratio of 1:1.
C. Cash ratio:
This is also known as cash position ratio or super quick ratio. It is a variation of
quick ratio. This ratio establishes the relationship between absolute liquid assets and
current liabilities. Absolute liquid assets are cash in hand, bank balance and readily
marketable securities. Both the debtors and the bills receivable are exclude from
liquid assets as there is always an uncertainty with respect to their realization. In other
words, liquid assets minus debtors and bills receivable are absolute liquid assets. The
cash ratio is calculated as follows
Cash in hand & at bank + Marketable securities
Cash Ratio = ________________________________________
Current liabilities
Significance:
This ratio gains much significance only when it is used in conjunction with the first
two ratios. The accepted norm for this ratio is 50% worth absolute liquid assets are
considered adequate to pay Rs.2 worth current liabilities in time as all the creditors
are not expected to demand cash at the same time and then cash may also be realized
from debtors and inventories. This test is a more rigorous measure of a firm’s
liquidity position. This type of ratio is not widely used in practice.

2011-2012 27,247.65 38,163.51 0.71
(Source: Annual reports)
Interpretation:
The acceptable norm for this ratio is 50% or 1:2. But the cash ratio is below the
accepted norm. So the cash position is not utilized effectively and efficiently.
2.3.2 Activity Ratio:
If a business does not use its assets effectively, investors in the business would
rather take their money and place it somewhere else. In order for the assets to be used
effectively, the business needs a high turnover.
Unless the business continues to generate high turnover, assets will be idle as it is
impossible to buy and sell fixed assets continuously as turnover changes. Activity
ratios are therefore used to assess how active various assets are in the business.
A. Average Collection Period:
The average collection period measures the quality of debtors since it indicates
the speed of their collection.
The shorter the average collection period, the better the quality of debtors, as a
short collection period implies the prompt payment by debtors.
The average collection period should be compared against the firm’s credit
terms and policy to judge its credit and collection efficiency.
An excessively long collection period implies a very liberal and inefficient
credit and collection performance.
The delay in collection of cash impairs the firm’s liquidity. On the other hand,
too low a collection period is not necessarily favorable, rather it may indicate a
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 13
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
very restrictive credit and collection policy which may curtail sales and hence
adversely affect profit.
360 daysAverage collection period = _____________________
Debtor’s turnover ratio
Significance:
Average collection period indicates the quality of debtors by measuring the rapidity or
slowness in the collection process. Generally, the shorter the average collection
period, the better is the quality of debtors as a short collection period implies quick
payment by debtors. Similarly, a higher collection period implies as inefficient
collection performance which, in turn, adversely affects the liquidity or short term
paying capacity of a firm out of its current liabilities. Moreover, longer the average
collection period, larger is the chances of bad debts.

2011-2012 360 7,893.30 17.6 20.45
(Source: Annual reports)
Interpretation:
The shorter the collection period, the better the quality of debtors. Since a short
collection period implies the prompt payment by debtors. Here, collection period
increased in 2010-2011 and decreased in the year 2011-2012. Therefore the average
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 14
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
collection period of Emami ltd for the five years is satisfactory. Since the number of
days have decreased.
B. Inventory Turnover Ratio:
This ratio measures the stock in relation to turnover in order to determine how
often the stock turns over in the business.
It indicates the efficiency of the firm in selling its product. It is calculated by dividing
he cost of goods sold by the average inventory.
Cost of goods soldInventory Turnover Ratio = ___________________
Average Inventory
Significance:
This ratio is calculated to ascertain the number of times the stock is turned over
during the periods. In other words, it is an indication of the velocity of the movement
of the stock during the year.
In case of decrease in sales, this ratio will decrease. This serves as a check on the
control of stock in a business. This ratio will reveal the excess stock and accumulation
of obsolete or damaged stock. The ratio of net sales to stock is satisfactory
relationship, if the stock is more than three-fourths of the net working capital. This
ratio gives the rate at which inventories are converted into sales and then into cash
and thus helps in determining the liquidity of a firm.

2011-2012 41,512.10 6,040.83 6.87
(Source: Annual reports)
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Interpretation:
A higher turnover ratio is always beneficial to the concern. In this the number of
times the inventory is turned over has been decreasing from one year to another year.
This decreasing turnover indicates average sales. And in turn activates production
process and is responsible for further development in the business. This indicates the
inventory policy of the company should be improved.
Thus the stock turnover ratios of Emami Limited, for the five years are
unsatisfactory.
C. Working capital turnover ratio:
This ratio shows the number of times the working capital results in sales. In other
words, this ratio indicates the efficiency or otherwise in the utilization of short term
funds in making sales. Working capital means the excess of current assets over
current liabilities. In fact, in the short run, it is the current assets and current liabilities
which pay a major role. A careful handling of the short term assets and funds will
mean a reduction in the amount of capital employed, thereby improving turnover. The
following formula is used to measure this ratio:
SalesWorking capital turnover ratio = _____________________
Net Working Capital
Significance:
This ratio is used to assess the efficiency with which the working capital has been
utilized in a business. A higher working capital turnover indicates either the favorable
turnover of inventories and receivables and/or the inadequate of net working capital
accompanied by low turnover of inventories and receivables. A low ratio signifies
either the excess of net working capital or slow turnover of inventories and
receivables or both. This ratio can at best be used by making of comparative and trend
analysis for different firms in the same industry and for various periods.
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 16
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Interpretation:
The Working Capital Turnover Ratio is decreasing year after year. It can be noted
that the change is due to the fluctuation in sales or current liabilities. These lower
ratios are indicators of higher investment of working Capital and less profit.
Thus, Working Capital Turnover ratios for the five years are unsatisfactory.
D. Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio:
The fixed assets turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which the firm has
been using its fixed assets to generate sales. It is calculated by dividing the firm’s
sales by its net fixed assets as follows:
SalesFixed Assets Turnover =________________
Net fixed assets
Significance:
This ratio gives an ideal about adequate investment or over investment or under
investment in fixed assets. As a rule, over-investment in unprofitable fixed assets
should be avoided to the possible extent. Under-investment is also equally bad
affecting unfavorably the operating costs and consequently the profit. In
manufacturing concerns, the ratio is important and appropriate, since sales are
produced not only by use of working capital but also the capital invested in fixed

assets. An increase in this ratio is the indicator of efficiency in work performance and
a decrease in this ratio speaks of unwise and improper investment in fixed assets.
Interpretation:
The fixed assets turnover ratio is decreasing year after year. The overall lower ratio
indicates the inefficient utilization of the fixed assets.
Thus the fixed assets turnover ratios for the five years are not satisfactory.
2.3.3 Financial Leverage (Gearing) Ratios
The ratios indicate the degree to which the activities of a firm are supported by
creditors’ funds as opposed to owners.
The relationship of owner’s equity to borrowed funds is an important indicator
of financial strength.
The debt requires fixed interest payments and repayment of the loan and legal
action can be taken if any amounts due are not paid at the appointed time. A
relatively high proportion of funds contributed by the owners indicates a cushion
(surplus) which shields creditors against possible losses from default in payment.
A. Proprietary Ratio:
This ratio is also known as ‘Owners fund ratio’ (or) ‘Shareholders equity ratio’ (or)
‘Equity ratio’ (or) ‘Net worth ratio’. This ratio establishes the relationship between
the proprietors’ fund and total tangible assets. The formula for this ratio may be
written as follows.

VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Proprietors’ fundsProprietary Ratio = _____________________
Total tangible assets
Significance:
This ratio represents the relationship of owner’s funds to total tangible assets,
higher the ratio or the share of the shareholders in the total capital of the company,
better is the long term solvency position of the company. This ratio is of importance
to the creditors who can ascertain the proportion of the shareholders’ funds in the total
assets employed in the firm. A ratio below 50% may be alarming for the creditors
since they may have to lose heavily in the event of company’s liquidation on account
of heavy losses.
Interpretation:
This ratio is particularly important to the creditors and it focuses on the general
financial strength of the business. A ratio of 50% will be alarming for the creditors.
As such the proprietary ratio of the five years is above 50%.
Therefore it indicates relatively little danger to the creditors, etc and a better
performance of the company.

reflects the relative position of the equity holders and the lenders and indicates the
company’s policy on the mix of capital funds. The debt to equity ratio is calculated as
follows:
Total debt
Debt to Equity Ratio = ____________
Total Equity
Significance:
The importance of debt-equity ratio is very well reflected in the words of Weston
and brigham which are reproduced here: “Debt-equity ratio indicates to what extent
the firm depends upon outsiders for its existence. For the creditors, this provides a
margin of safety. For the owners, it is useful to measure the extent to which they can
gain the benefits of maintaining control over the firm with a limited investment:” The
debt-equity ratio states unambiguously the amount of assets provided by the outsiders
for every one rupee of assets provided by the shareholders of the company.

VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Interpretation:
The debt to equity ratio is decreasing year after year. A low debt equity ratio is
considered favorable from management. It means greater claim of shareholders over
the assets of the company than those of creditors. For the company also, the servicing
of debt is less burdensome and consequently its credit standing is not adversely
affected. Therefore debt to equity ratio is satisfactory to the company.
C. Interest coverage ratio
The times interest earned shows how many times the business can pay its interest
bills from profit earned. Present and prospective loan creditors such as bondholders,
are vitally interested to know how adequate the interest payments on their loans are
covered by the earnings available for such payments. Owners, managers and directors
are also interested in the ability of the business to service the fixed interest charges on
outstanding debt. The ratio is calculated as follows:
EBIT
Interest Coverage Ratio = _______________
Interest charges
Significance:
It is always desirable to have profit more than the interest payable. In case profit is
either equal or lesser than the interest, the position will be unsafe. It will show that
there this nothing left for the shareholders and the position of the lendors is also
unsafe. A high ratio is a sign of low burden of dept servicing and lower utilization of
borrowing capacity. From the points of view of creditors, the larger the coverage, the
greater the ability of the firm to handle fixed charges liabilities and the more assessed
the payment of interest to the creditors. In contrast the low ratio signifies the danger
the signal that the firm is highly dependent on borrowings and its earnings cannot

VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
meet obligations fully. The standard for this ratio for an industrial undertaking is 6 to
7 times.
Interpretation:
The Interest coverage ratio is increasing year after year. A high ratio is a sign of
low burden of dept servicing and lower utilization of borrowing capacity. Therefore
this ratio is satisfactory to the company.
2.3.4 Profitability Ratios
Profitability is the ability of a business to earn profit over a period of time.
Although the profit figure is the starting point for any calculation of cash flow, as
already pointed out, profitable companies can still fail for a lack of cash.
A company should earn profits to survive and grow over a long period of time.

Profits are essential, but it would be wrong to assume that every action
initiated by management of a company should be aimed at maximizing profits,
irrespective of social consequences.
The ratios examined previously have tendered to measure management efficiency and
risk.
A. Gross Profit Margin
Normally the gross profit has to rise proportionately with sales.
It can also be useful to compare the gross profit margin across similar
businesses although there will often be good reasons for any disparity.
Gross profit
Gross Profit Margin = ________________ *100
Sales
Significance:
The gross profit ratio helps in measuring the results of trading or manufacturing
operations. It shows the gap between revenue and expenses at a point after which an
enterprise has to meet the expenses related to the non-manufacturing activities, like
marketing, administration, finance and also taxes and appropriations.
The gross profit shows the gap between revenue and trading costs. It, therefore,
indicates the extent to which the revenue has a potential to generate a surplus. In other
words, the gross profit reveals the mark up on the sales. Gross profit ratio reveals
profit earning capacity of the business with reference to its sale. Increase in gross
profit ratio will mean reduction in cost of production or direct expenses or sale at a
reasonably good price and decrease in the will mean increased cost of production or
sales at a lesser price. Higher gross profit ratio is always in the interest of the
business.

(Source: Annual reports)
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Interpretation:
In the year 2007, the Gross Profit Ratio was 61% but then it decreased to 58%,
which shows a low profit earning capacity of the business with reference to its sales.
But in the year 2010, it increased to 62% which may be due to increase in sales. But
thereafter, for the succeeding two years, it has increased considerably, which indicates
that the cost of production has reduced. Therefore the Gross Profit Ratio for the five
years reveals a satisfactory condition of the business.
B. Net Profit Margin
This is a widely used measure of performance and is comparable across
companies in similar industries. The fact that a business works on a very low margin
need not cause alarm because there are some sectors in the industry that work on a
basis of high turnover and low margins, for examples supermarkets and motorcar
dealers. What is more important in any trend is the margin and whether it compares
well with similar businesses.
Earnings after interest and taxesNet Profit Margin =______________________________ *100
Net Sales
Significance:
An objective of working net profit ratio is to determine the overall efficiency of
the business. Higher the net profit ratio, the better the business. The net profit ratio
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 24
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
indicates the management’s ability to earn sufficient profits on sales not only to cover
all revenue operating expenses of the business, the cost of borrowed funds and the
cost of merchandising or servicing, but also to have a sufficient margin to pay
reasonable compensation to shareholders on their contribution to the firm. A high
ratio ensures adequate return to shareholders as well as to enable a firm to with stand
adverse economic conditions. A low margin has an opposite implication.
Interpretation:
In the year 2007 the Net Profit is 16%, but in the year 2008-2009 it was decreased
to 14% which may due to excessing selling and distribution expenses. But thereafter
for the succeeding years it has been increasing which indicates a better performance
of the company. Therefore the performance of the management should be appreciated.
Thus an increase in the ratio over the previous periods indicates improvement in the
operational efficiency of the business.
C. Return on Investment (ROI)
Income is earned by using the assets of a business productively. The more
efficient the production, the more profitable the business. The rate of return on total
assets indicates the degree of efficiency with which management has used the assets

of the enterprise during an accounting period. This is an important ratio for all readers
of financial statements.
Investors have placed funds with the managers of the business. The managers
used the funds to purchase assets which will be used to generate returns. If the return
is not better than the investors can achieve elsewhere, they will instruct the managers
to sell the assets and they will invest elsewhere. The managers lose their jobs and the
business liquidates.
Operating profit
Return on Investment = ___________________
Capital Employed
Significance:
Return on capital employed shows overall profitability of the business. At first
minimum return on capital employed should be determined and then the actual rate of
return on capital employed should be determined and compared with the normal
return. The return and capital employed is a fair measure of the profitability of any
concern with the result that even the result of dissimilar industries may be compared.

This ratio indicates that how much of the capital invested is returned in the form of
net profit. This ratio is increasing year after year which indicates the capital employed
is returned in the form of net profit. In the same manner, returns from capital
employed for the succeeding years are good.
Thus, the Return on Investment ratio for the five years shows the efficiency of the
business which is very much satisfactory.
D. Return on Equity (ROE)
This ratio shows the profit attributable to the amount invested by the owners of
the business. It also shows potential investors into the business what they might hope
to receive as a return. The stockholders’ equity includes share capital, share premium,
distributable and non-distributable reserves. The ratio is calculated as follows:
Net profit after taxes and preference dividendReturn on Equity =__________________________________________
Equity capital
Significance:
This ratio measures the profitability of the capital invested in the business by equity
shareholders. As the business is conducted with a view to earn profit, return on equity
capital measures the business success and managerial efficiency. It reveals whether
the firm has earned a reasonable profit to its equity shareholders or not by comparing
it with its own past records, inter-firm comparison and comparison with the overall
industry average. This ratio is of significant use in the ratio analysis from the
standpoint of the owners of the firm.
A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE USING RATIO ANALYSIS AT EMAMI LTD Page 27
VIVEK COLLEGE OF COMMERCE
Interpretation:
In the year 2008, the return on equity ratio is 32% but in the year 2009 it
decreased to 29%, which may due to capital investment. And in the year 20011-2012
it increased to 37%. Therefore the return on equity ratio for the five years reveals a
satisfactory condition of the business.
E. Return on Total assets
This ratio is also known as the profit-to-assets ratio. This ratio establishes the
relationship between net profits and assets. As these two terms have conceptual
differences, the ratio may be calculated taking the meaning of the terms according to
the purpose and intent of analysis. Usually, the following formula is used to determine
the return on total assets ratio.
Return on total assets = (Net profit after taxes and interest / Total assets) * 100
Significance:
This ratio measures the profitability of the funds invested in a firm but doe not reflect
on the profitability of the different sources of total funds. This ratio should be
compared with the ratios of other similar companies or for the industry as a whole, to

determine whether the rate of return is attractive. This ratio provides a valid basis for
inter-industry comparison.
Interpretation:
The return on total assets ratio had decreased earlier but again the trend is
increasing year after year. This increasing ratio indicates the effective funds invested.
Therefore the return on Total Assets ratio for the five years reveals a satisfactory
condition of the business.
F. Earnings per share:
This ratio explains to this point deal with the performance and financial condition of
the company. These ratio’s provide information for the managers (who are interested
in evaluating the performance of the company) and for creditors (who are interested in
the company’s ability to pay its obligations). We will now take a look at ratios that
focus on the interests of the owners – Shareholder ratios. These ratios translate the
overall results of operations so that they can be compared in terms of a share of stock.
Usually, the following formula is used to determine the Earnings Per Share.

2.4 COMPARATIVE STATEMENT:
Comparative study of financial statement is the comparison of the financial
statement of the business with the previous year’s financial statements and with the
performance of other competitive enterprises, so that weaknesses may be identified
and remedial measures applied.
Comparative statements can be prepared for both types of financial statements i.e.,
Balance sheet as well as profit and loss account. The comparative profits and loss
account will present a review of operating activities of the business. The comparative
balance shows the effect of operations on the assets and liabilities that change in the
financial position during the period under consideration.
Comparative analysis is the study of trend of the same items and computed items
into or more financial statements of the same business enterprise on different dates.
The presentation of comparative financial statements, in annual and other reports,
enhances the usefulness of such reports and brings out more clearly the nature and
trends of current changes affecting the enterprise.

While the single balance sheet represents balances of accounts drawn at the end of
an accounting period, the comparative balance sheet represent not nearly the balance
of accounts drawn on two different dates, but also the extent of their increase or
decrease between these two dates. The single balance sheet focuses on the financial
status of the concern as on a particular date, the comparative balance sheet focuses on
the changes that have taken place in one accounting period. The changes are the direct
outcome of operational activities, conversion of assets, liability and capital form into
others as well as various interactions among assets, liability and capital.

purchase of fixed assets. The cash or fund paid for purchase of fixed assets has
decreased the cash balance of the company.
The current assets have decreased by Rs. (2,062.81) lakhs; this indicates firm’s
better credit policy. Further the current liability also increased by Rs. 5,349.48 lakhs,
it indicates that firm do not have good liquidity position therefore they are not able to
pay liabilities within stipulated period.
The fact depicts that the policy of the company is to pay all liabilities both in
current and long-term liabilities within the stipulated period using both current assets
and fixed assets.
The investment has decreased from Rs. 10,083.63 lakhs to Rs. 3,707.58 lakhs,

Interpretation:
The comparative balance sheet of the company reveals during 2010, that there
has been a decrease in the fixed assets of Rs. (8,222.34) lakhs, which indicates sale of
fixed assets. The cash and bank balance have increased by Rs. 14,902.72 lakhs. This
fact indicates that the firm has utilized both current and fixed assets for the repayment
