Comparative Statements: When financial statements figures for two or more years are placed side-by-side to facilitate comparison, these are called 'Comparative Financial Statements'. In such a statement figures of production, sales, expenses, profits etc. are put side-by-side to draw conclusions about the profitability and financial health of the business. It also indicates the trend of change as well as the strong points and weak point of the enterprise.
(ii)
Common Size Statements: In these statements, various figures are converted into percentage to some common base. In profit and loss account, sales figure is taken at 100 and all other figurers are expressed as percentage of sale. Similarly, in balance sheet total assets are taken at 100 and all assets are expressed as percentage of the total.
(iii)
Trend Analysis: It is one of the most useful form of horizontal analysis in making comparative study of the financial statements for a number of years. For calculating trend percentages any year is selected as the 'base year'. Each them of the base year is assumed to be equal to 100 and on that basis the percentage of
22
each item of each year is calculated. The trend percentage is helpful in revealing the trend increase or decrease in various items. (iv) Accounting Ratios: A ratio is simply one number expressed in relation to another and a study of the relationships between various items or groups of items is known as 'ratio analysis'. It simplifies and summarises a long array of accounting data to provide useful information regarding the liquidity, solvency, profitability etc. (v) Cash Flow Statement: It shows the inflow and outflows of cash and cash equivalents during a particular period and analyses the reasons for changes in balance of cash between the two balance sheet dates. A firm may earn huge profits yet it may have paucity of cash or when it suffered a loss it may still have plenty of cash. The reasons for these derivations can be analysed and understood by preparing cash flow statement. (vi) Funds Flow Statement: A fund flow statement is designed to show the changes in the assets, liabilities and capital of the firm between the dates of two balance sheets. It indicates the causes of changes in the working capital of an enterprise during the year. It also discloses the sources from which funds were obtained by the enterprise and the specific uses to which such funds were applied. (vii) Break-Even Point Analysis: Break-Even Point is the point where total costs are exactly equal to the total sales. At this point, there is neither any profit nor any loss. It can also be termed as 'No profit No Loss' point.

COMPANIES PROFILES

a preset income to an insured person who is unable to work due to injury or illness, and health insurance pays the expenses resulting from accidents and illness. An annuity (a contract or a group of contracts that furnishes a periodic income at regular intervals for a specified period) provides a steady income during retirement for the remainder of ones life. Property-casualty insurance protects against loss or damage to property resulting from hazards such as fire, theft, and natural disasters. Liability insurance shields policyholders from financial responsibility for injuries to others or for damage to other peoples property. Most policies, such as automobile and homeowners insurance, combine both property-casualty and liability coverage. Companies that underwrite this kind of insurance are called property-casualty carriers. The insurance industry also includes a number of independent organizations that provide a wide array of insurance-related services to carriers and their clients. One such service is the processing of claims forms for medical practitioners. Other services include loss prevention and risk management. Also, insurance companies sometimes hire independent claims adjusters to investigate accidents and claims for property damage and to assign a dollar estimate to the claim.

about Rs 80,000. But the private insurers are ahead in this game and the average size of their policies is around Rs 1.1 lakh to Rs 1.2 lakh- way bigger than the industry average. With the entry of competition, the rules of the game are set to change. The trend in developed economies where a person not only lives longer and retires earlier is now emerging in India. Where once the fear was one of dying too early, now, with increasing longevity, the fear also is one of living too long and outliving one's assets. With the breakdown of traditional forms of social security like the joint family system, consumers are now concerning themselves with the need to provide for a comfortable retirement. This trend has been further driven by the long-term decline in interest rates, which makes it all the more necessary to start saving early to ensure long term wealth creation. Today's consumers are increasingly interested in products to help build wealth and provide for retirement income. While sales of traditional life insurance products like individual, whole life and term will remain popular, sales of new products like single premium, investment linked, retirement products, variable life and annuity products are also set to rise.

51
reserve , other reserves and credit balance of profit and loss account .however accumulated losses and fictitious assets remaining to be written off like preliminary expenses , underwriting commission , share issue expenses etc. should be deducted. This ratio is calculated to access the ability of firm to meet its long term liabilities. Generally, debt equity ratio of 2:1 is considered safe. If the debt equity ratio is more than that, it shows a rather risky financial position from the long term point of view, as it indicates that more and more funds invested in the business are provided by long term lenders. A high debt equity ratio is a danger signal for long term lenders. The lower the ratio, the better it is for long term lenders because they are more secure in that case. Lower than 2:1 debt equity ratio provides sufficient protection to long term lenders.
INTERPRETATION: all three companies have lowered the debt equity ratio than the standard ratio. Which means all three companies are not able to capitalized the tax leverage.

CONCLUSION
This regard is over losing the golden opportunity presented by the peculiar political situation. It is being looked as a political window which has opened due to the concurrence of many political and economic factors at the national as well as international level. It is feared that with the change in economic and political situations, both of which are precarious and volatile, the window may be closed any time. This is again a genuine concern. In this regard, we suggest that strategic use of the historic opportunity provided by this window could be made to consolidate the long-term process without sacrificing on the urgent issues. While as suggested earlier, the actions to deal with the urgent issues are taken immediately, a rigorous, thorough, and sound process of addressing fundamental issues may be unleashed in such a manner that it will be politically difficult to roll it back. The most important action in this regard is creating a wider coalition of political interest who are convinced about the merits of the restructuring and who will continue to support it even against the odds described earlier. The key is turning the foes into friends. The only route available for this is to involve all the sections of the civil society in the restructuring process and especially those which are apprehensive. This could done by instituting the measures for transparency and direct public accountability and by opening the doors for their participation. This should be done at all levels and at every stage of the process. And, above all, it should be guanine and honest.

SUGGESTIONS
Firstly, I want to say that the haste may result in serious weaknesses in the legal provisions, structures and procedures in the new model. As explained earlier, such deficiencies and weaknesses in the previous model have proved disastrous. Similarly, the deficiencies and weaknesses in the new structures and mechanisms will make them susceptible to the efforts of the vested interests to sabotage and high-jack them. Secondly, the haste may result in lack of understating of the problems and complications the new model may entail. For example: the businesses may try to create a variety of barriers to effective competition in the sector such as cross holding of companies. These problems and complications may prove very costly in the longterm, at times, wiping out the benefits of the restructuring. Finally, I would say that there may be serious opposition from certain sections of populations such as labour unions, consumers% organisations, organised lobbies of the agricultural customers, movements of affected people, etc. These sections have considerable economic and political Insurances and organisational strengths. It will not be easy to circumvent the resistance of these organisations and sections of populations. Some of them have proved their nuisance capacity in the past. To sum up, if the effort is made to rush the reforms through, we think, any of these problems may put the sector back into the deep troubles.
