INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision-making. The statements are not ending in them with in this useful it is absence in decisionmaking context. The balance sheet may be described as financial cross section taken at certain intervals and the coming statement as a condensed history of the growth and delay between cross sections. Financial statements are very helpful in giving various indicators with the help of techniques popularly known as ratio-analysis and interpretation of financial statements. The utility of such statements is that a forecast may be made of the prospects of future earning ability to pay interest and debt maturities. (Both current & Long term) and probability of sound dividend policy. According to John N. Myer. The financial statements provide a summary of accounts of a business enterprise. The balance sheet reflecting as Assets, Liabilities and Capital as on s certain date and the income statement showing the result of operation during a certain period.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Finance is the view as a backbone to accelerating economic development of any country. In our present day, economic finance is the provision of money at the time when it is required. Presently a firm communicated financial information to the users through financial statements and reports. Being this present status, it quiets possible for company to improve its profitability as well as liquidity considerable without employing, further resources and just be stream lining the existing financial system and the financial information system. The basic problem faced by the financial manager of enterprises is to trade off between the conflicting but equally important goals of liquidity and profitability. Greater the liquid resources of firm lesser will be its profitability and vice versa. He has to maintain to profitability position, and liquidity position at such a level, which may ensure satisfactory earning to the enterprise without regarding its liquidity position So the main aim of the study is to analyze the financial position of the company over a period of time in terms of solvency, liquidity and profitability.

CHAPTER II FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AN OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION: Finance is the study of money management, the acquiring of funds (cash) and the directing of these funds to meet particular objectives. A function comprised of activities involving planning and control by which an organization administers financial resources in order to market share, increase its profitability, and avoid insolvency in a manner consistent with statutory requirement and designed to maximize the organizations rate of return on equity. Good financial management helps business to maximize returns while simultaneously minimizing risks. The primary goal of financial management is the maximization of stockholder wealth. Other goals should include maximization of sales, market share, growth rate of sales and market price of the firms stock. As important objective of this topic is to help you develop insights into the methods by which financial managers and researchers can find value for their efforts and/or constituents. This section provides some introductory material on the many facets of financial management. Institutional environments, financial planning, risk and return, capital budgeting and capital structure (including cost of capital) are just some of the topics discussed in the listed links.

12

NATURE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: Sources, uses, cost, and control of funds in business enterprises. Internal management of working capital and income sources and cost of long-term funds; capital budgeting; financing of the growth and expansion of business enterprises; government regulation of the financial process. Role of banks and non-bank financial institutions in the financial system; asset choices of banks and non-bank financial institutions; problems in the management of financial institutions with emphasis on commercial banks. Analysis of financial problems facing businesses engaged in international activities. Financing foreign investment, financial control of foreign operations, and working capital management including foreign exchange positions using cases and readings. Key issues in financial management using both analytical and case study illustrations. Valuation of public and private companies; cost of capital estimation; investment complications, such as taxes, inflation, risk, project interdependencies, and financing-investment interactions; leasing; mergers; spin-offs and carve-outs. Modern tools for managing financial risk. Fixed income securities and interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, and insurance. Emphasis on use of futures, forwards swaps, and option contracts.

13

Analysis of problems in the financial management of commercial banks and other financial institutions. Loan and investment policies, liability management, capital policies, and other selected issues are discussed. OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: It is useful to define the objectives of financial management before venturing to identify its functions. What are the goals that a financial manager should seek? A quick impulse will indicate that profit maximization is the first goal. Business enterprise aims at earning profit and hence it may be argued that profit maximization is the directing goal of the enterprise, which in turn is the responsibility of financial management. The finance manager makes available need-based funds at a competitive cost, and oversees its effective deployment. The commercial firm is thereby enabled a smooth and unhindered operations yielding optimum business results. Profit earning is the purpose of the business. Earning profit sustains its continued existence. The destination of financial management canters therefore towards the goal of earning profit or earning maximum profit. Profit maximization may benefit the shareholders, but the business thrives successfully only when different stakeholders are made happy with its policies and functions. They are the employees, the customers, and the credit institutions. Others to be taken care of are rating agencies, the stock exchanges, the Government etc.

14

The business enterprise has also specific social obligations to the society at large. Profit maximization at the cost of social and ethical standards is s short sighted policy. The objective of profit maximization cannot be achieved if any one of the other stakeholders withdraws or even reduces the level of support. Similarly certain steps like periodical shutdown of the plant for maintenance are required in the interest of their better upkeep. Impetuous pursuit of profit maximization may turn a blind eye to the plant-upkeep consideration and overuse these facilities leading to their quicker decay and mal-functioning. Similarly a firm should not minimize expenditure on such items like product advertisement and publicity; vendor development; customer-care; employee training and development. Good public relations with influential stakeholders like bankers, suppliers, government officials; etc, are equally important to promote the all round progress of the firm. A better objective is to accept wealth maximization of the business enterprise as the goal of financial management, which is reflected in the earnings per share of the firm and the market price of its shares. If the shares of the firm are traded in stock exchange, a good performance of the firm results in the price at which the shares are traded.

15

When the firms shares attract a good price, the owners or shareholders are better of, because the market value of their investment appreciates. According van Horne Value of a firm is represented by the market price of the companys stockThe market price of a price represents the focal judgment of all market participants, as to what the value of the particular firm is. It takes into account the present and prospective future earnings per share, the timing and risk of these earnings, the dividend policy of the firm and many other factors that bear on the market price of the stock. The market price serves as a performance index or report card of the firms progress. It indicates how well management is doing on behalf of the stakeholders. The modern thinking on management goes further and considers wealth as consisting not only physical or tangible assets, but also intangible assets, like human capital, knowledge capital and relations capital.

16

SCOPE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: The modern approach views the term financials management in broad sense and provides a conceptual and analytical framework for financial decision-making. According to the finance function covers both acquisitions of funds as well as the efficient and wise allocation of funds to various uses. It is an integral part of overall management. The important tasks of financial management, as related to the central concerns noted above, may be catalogued as follows: Financial Analysis, planning and Control: Analysis of financial condition and performance That is, assessing the financial performance of the company. Profit Planning Forecasting and planning the future of the firm. Financial forecasting the future needs of the firm. Financial Control Instituting appropriate systems of control to ensure that the actions of managers are congruent with the goals of the firm. Investing a. Management of current assets b. Capital budgeting c. Management of mergers, reorganizations, and divestments Financing

d. Identification of sources of finance and determination of financing mix e. Cultivating sources of funds and raising funds f. Disposition of profits between dividends and retained earnings. CHAPTER III FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

The tools used to make an analysis on the financial statements are, Ratio Analysis. Working capital Analysis. For these, analysis various necessary tabular columns, charts, trend line are created. Interpretations are also shown to know about the fluctuations for every year. RATIO ANALYSIS Financial statements are prepared primarily for legal requirements. It is also used for decision making. They play a dominant role in setting the framework of managerial decision. But the information provided in the financial statements is not an end itself as no meaningful conclusion can be drawn from these statements alone. However the information provided in the financial statement is of immense use in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of financial statements.

18

Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strength and weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet and profit and loss accounts. There are various methods or techniques used in analyzing financial statements, such as comprehensive statements, schedule of changes in working capital, common size percentage, funds analysis, the ratio analysis is the most powerful tool of financial statement analysis. In the chapter the various types of ratios, which are directly connected, with solvency position of the firm are discussed. LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS Ratios should be used with extreme care and considered judgement because they suffer from certain serious drawbacks. Some of them are listed below: A single ratio usually does not convey much sense to make a better interpretation. A number of ratios have to be calculated for making a meaningful conclusion. There are no well-accepted standards or rules of thumb for all ratios, which can be accepted as norms. It renders interpretation of the ratio difficult. Changes in accounting procedure by fir often make ratio analysis misleading.

19

 Ratios are only means of financial and not an end in itself. Ratios have to be interpreted property, since different people may interpret the same ratio in different ways. The ratio analysis is primarily a quantitative analysis and not a qualitative analysis. While making ratio analysis, no consideration is made to the changes in price level and this makes the interpretation of ratios invalid.

20

3.2. ANALYSIS OF LIQUIDITY RATIOS LIQUIDITY RATIOS: These are the ratios which measure the short-term solvency or financial position of a firm. These ratios are calculated to comment upon the short-term paying capacity of a concern or the firms ability to meet its current obligations. The various liquidity ratios are;

1. Current Ratio 2. Quick Ratio 3. Absolute Liquid Ratio

21

3.2.1. CURRENT RATIO Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. The ratio, also known as working capital ratio, is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the analysis of short-term financial position or liquidity of a firm. In any operation concern, the current ratio should 2:1.

It is calculates as

Current ratio

Current assets Current liabilities

Current assets include cash, marketable securities, debtors, inventories (stock), loans and advances and prepaid expenses etc. Current liabilities include loans, creditors, outstanding expanses and provisions.

INTERPRETATION The table (3.2.1.) shows that the current assets minimum value is Rs.5465.1 in 2051-2006 and it reaches the maximum of Rs.9761.6 in 2009- 2010. The Current Liabilities minimum value is Rs.5261.91 in 2005-2006and maximum value is Rs.7840.35 in 2009-2010. The calculated ratio shows that in 2005, the company had 1.04 worth of current assets for every liability. This increased to 1.25 in 2010 indicating increasing trend on liquidity, Hence from the observation, the company is able to support its short-term debt from its current assets.

24

3.2.2 Quick ratio (or) Liquid ratio Quick ratio may be defined as the relationship between liquid assets and current liabilities .an asset is liquid if it can be converted into cash immediately or reasonably soon without loss a value. Cash is the most liquid assets. Inventories require more time for converting it into cash. Their value also has a tendency to fluctuate. That is why inventories are excluded from quick assets. The quick ratio is found out by dividing the total of the quick assets by total current liabilities .in any operation concern, the quick ratio should 0.5:1.

ACTIVITY RATIO Activity ratios are concerned with measuring the efficiency in asset management. Activity ratio also called efficiency ratio are asset utilization ratios. The efficiency with which the assets are used would be reflected in the speed and rapidity with which assets are converted into sales. The greater the rate of turnover or conversion, the more efficient utilization or management. Depending upon the various type of assets, there are various types of activity ratios. They are Debtors turnover ratio Average Collection Period Creditors Turnover Ratio Average payment period Inventory Turnover Ratio Average Payment Period Total Asset Turnover ratio Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
