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 holders utility. When the firm maximizes the stock holders wealth, the individual maximizing stock holders wealth the firm is operating consistently towards maximizing stock holders utility

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. 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. 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
HKBK DC

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)

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 expected profitability in future.

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 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 firms 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 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:-

To everyone responsible for provision of funds, it is problem of securing importance to so adjust his resources as to provide for a regular 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.

PRECAUTATIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR USE OF RATIOS


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
HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD.


expertise of the analyst.

17

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:

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, debtors turnover and creditors 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.

HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. CURRENT RATIO:

19

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.

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.

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.

HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD. Profitability ratio in relation to sales:
Gross profit ratio Net profit ratio Operating ratio Operating profit ratio

24

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:


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 HKBK DC

RATIO ANALYSIS STATEMENT OF HMT WATCHES LTD.


= Net Sales (Cost of Goods Sold+ Administrative and Office

25

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 proprietors 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 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.

HKBK DC

1. Current Ratio: The current Ratio is the ratio of current liabilities it is calculated as: Current assets Current ratio = - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Current Liabilities Generally current ratio of 2:1 is considered ideal for a concern i.e., Current Assets should be twice of the Current Liabilities

INTERPRETATION:
Current ratio measures the firms 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
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 Cost of goods sold Inventory Turnover ratio = -------------------------------------------Average Inventory

The 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.

During 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
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.

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 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 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 firms 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.
