OBJECTIVES The major objectives of the resent study are to know about financial strengths and weakness of Appu International through FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS. The main objectives of resent study aimed as: To evaluate the performance of the company by using ratios as a yardstick to measure the efficiency of the company. To understand the liquidity, profitability and efficiency positions of the company during the study period. To evaluate and analyze various facts of the financial performance of the company. To make comparisons between the ratios during different periods.

METHODOLOGY The information is collected through secondary sources during the project. That information was utilized for calculating performance evaluation and based on that, interpretations were made. Sources of secondary data: 1. Most of the calculations are made on the financial statements of the company provided statements. 2. Referring standard texts and referred books collected some of the information regarding theoretical aspects. 3. Method- to assess the performance of the company method of observation of the work in finance department in followed.

Literature reviews:
1- This study develops and empirically tests a number of methods of analyzing financial ratios to predict small business failure. Although not all of the methods and ratios are predictors of failure, many ratio variables are found which do predict failure of Small Business Administration borrowers and guarantee recipients. Using step-wise multiple discriminate analysis with a restriction on the simple correlation of the entering variable with the included variables, a function of independent ratio variables, which is highly accurate in classifying borrowers in the test sample, is developed. 2- Although they surfaced as a gusher rather than a trickle, the problems that brought the W.T. Grant Company into bankruptcy and, ultimately, liquidation, did not develop
14

overnight. Whereas traditional ratio analysis of Grant's financial statements would not have revealed the existence of many of the company's problems until 1970 or 1971, careful analysis of the company's cash flows would have revealed impending doom as much as a decade before the collapse. Grant's profitability, turnover and liquidity ratios had trended downward over the 10 years preceding bankruptcy. But the most striking characteristic of the company during that decade was that it generated no cash internally. Although working capital provided by operations remained fairly stable through 1973, this figure (which constitutes net income plus depreciation and is frequently referred to in the financial press as "cash flow") can be a very poor indicator of a company's ability to generate cash. 3- This paper describes an operational discriminate model for the identification of British companies at risk of failure and discusses the results from its application since it was developed and its degree of intertemporal validity. It raises a number of issues related to the use of multivariate statistical techniques in the finance area and highlights some of the methodological weaknesses in extant studies. 4- Financial statement analysis has traditionally been seen as part of the fundamental analysis required for equity valuation. But the analysis has typically been ad hoc. Drawing on recent research on accounting-based valuation, this paper outlines a financial statement analysis for use in equity valuation. Standard profitability analysis is incorporated, and extended, and is complemented with analysis of growth. An analysis of operating activities is distinguished from the analysis of financing activities. The perspective is one of forecasting payoffs to equities. So financial statement analysis is presented as a matter of pro form a analysis of the future, with forecasted ratios viewed as building blocks of forecasts of payoffs.

RATIO ANALYSIS: Financial Analysis: Financial analysis is the process of identifying the strength and weakness of the firm and establishing relationship between the items of balance sheet and profit and loss account. Financial ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratio, which are derived from the information in a companys financial statement. The level and historical trends of these ratio can be used to make inference about a companys financial condition, its operation and attractiveness as an investment. The information in the statement is used by Trade creditors, to identify the firms ability to meet their claims i.e. liquidity position of the company. Investors, to know about the present and future profitability of the company and its financial structure. Management, in every aspect of the financial analysis. It is the responsibility of the management to maintain the sound financial condition in the company.

16

Ratio Analysis Fundamental Analysis has a very broad scope. One aspect looks at the general (qualitative) factors of a company. The other side considers tangible and measurable factors (quantitative). This means crunching and analyzing numbers from the financial statements. If used in conjunction with other methods, quantitative analysis can produce excellent results. Ratio analysis isn't just comparing different numbers from the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. It's comparing the number against previous years, other companies, the industry, or even the economy in general. Ratios look at the relationships between individual values and relate them to how a company has performed in the past, and might perform in the future.

MEANING OF RATIO: A ratio is one figure express in terms of another figure. It is a mathematical yardstick that measures the relationship two figures, which are related to each other and mutually interdependent. Ratio is express by dividing one figure by the other related figure. Thus a ratio is an expression relating one number to another. It is simply the quotient of two numbers. It can be expressed as a fraction or as a decimal or as a pure ratio or in absolute figures as so many times. As accounting ratio is an expression relating two figures or accounts or two sets of account heads or group contain in the financial statements.

MEANING OF RATIO ANALYSIS: Ratio analysis is the method or process by which the relationship of items or group of items in the financial statement are computed, determined and presented. Ratio analysis is an attempt to derive quantitative measure or guides concerning the financial health and profitability of business enterprises. Ratio analysis can be used both in trend
17

and static analysis. There are several ratios at the disposal of an annalist but their group of ratio he would prefer depends on the purpose and the objective of analysis. While a detailed explanation of ratio analysis is beyond the scope of this section, we will focus on a technique, which is easy to use. It can provide you with a valuable investment analysis tool. This technique is called cross-sectional analysis. Cross-sectional analysis compares financial ratios of several companies from the same industry. Ratio analysis can provide valuable information about a company's financial health. A financial ratio measures a company's performance in a specific area. For example, you could use a ratio of a company's debt to its equity to measure a company's leverage. By comparing the leverage ratios of two companies, you can determine which company uses greater debt in the conduct of its business. A company whose leverage ratio is higher than a competitor's has more debt per equity. You can use this information to make a judgment as to which company is a better investment risk. However, you must be careful not to place too much importance on one ratio. You obtain a better indication of the direction in which a company is moving when several ratios are taken as a group.

BASED ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT Accounting ratios express the relationship between figures taken from financial statements. Figures may be taken from Balance Sheet , P& P A/C, or both. One-way of classification of ratios is based upon the sources from which are taken. 1] Balance sheet ratio:

19

If the ratios are based on the figures of balance sheet, they are called Balance Sheet Ratios. e. g. ratio of current assets to current liabilities or ratio of debt to equity. While calculating these ratios, there is no need to refer to the Revenue statement. These ratios study the relationship between the assets & the liabilities, of the concern. These ratio help to judge the liquidity, solvency & capital structure of the concern. Balance sheet ratios are Current ratio, Liquid ratio, and Proprietary ratio, Capital gearing ratio, Debt equity ratio, and Stock working capital ratio. 2] Revenue ratio: Ratio based on the figures from the revenue statement is called revenue statement ratios. These ratios study the relationship between the profitability & the sales of the concern. Revenue ratios are Gross profit ratio, Operating ratio, Expense ratio, Net profit ratio, Net operating profit ratio, Stock turnover ratio. 3] Composite ratio: These ratios indicate the relationship between two items, of which one is found in the balance sheet & other in revenue statement. There are two types of composite ratiosa) Some composite ratios study the relationship between the profits & the investments of the concern. E.g. return on capital employed, return on proprietors fund, return on equity capital etc. b) Other composite ratios e.g. debtors turnover ratios, creditors turnover ratios, dividend payout ratios, & debt service ratios

BASED ON FUNCTION:

20

Accounting ratios can also be classified according to their functions in to liquidity ratios, leverage ratios, activity ratios, profitability ratios & turnover ratios. 1] Liquidity ratios: It shows the relationship between the current assets & current liabilities of the concern e.g. liquid ratios & current ratios. 2] Leverage ratios: It shows the relationship between proprietors funds & debts used in financing the assets of the concern e.g. capital gearing ratios, debt equity ratios, & Proprietary ratios. 3] Activity ratios: It shows relationship between the sales & the assets. It is also known as Turnover ratios & productivity ratios e.g. stock turnover ratios, debtors turnover ratios. 4] Profitability ratios: a) It shows the relationship between profits & sales e.g. operating ratios, gross profit ratios, operating net profit ratios, expenses ratios b) It shows the relationship between profit & investment e.g. return on investment, return on equity capital. 5] Coverage ratios: It shows the relationship between the profit on the one hand & the claims of the outsiders to be paid out of such profit e.g. dividend payout ratios & debt service ratios.

21

BASED ON USER: 1] Ratios for short-term creditors: Current ratios, liquid ratios, stock working capital ratios 2] Ratios for the shareholders: Return on proprietors fund, return on equity capital 3] Ratios for management: Return on capital employed, turnover ratios, operating ratios, expenses ratios 4] Ratios for long-term creditors: Debt equity ratios, return on capital employed, proprietor ratios.

22

LIQUIDITY RATIO: Liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to meet its short-term (usually up to 1 year) obligations. The ratios, which indicate the liquidity of a company, are Current ratio, Quick/Acid-Test ratio, and Cash ratio. These ratios are discussed below

23

CURRENT RATIO Meaning: This ratio compares the current assets with the current liabilities. It is also known as working capital ratio or solvency ratio. It is expressed in the form of pure ratio. E.g. 2:1 Formula:
Current Ratio=Current AssetsCurrent laibility

The current assets of a firm represents those assets which can be, in the ordinary course of business, converted into cash within a short period time, normally not exceeding one year. The current liabilities defined as liabilities which are short term maturing obligations to be met, as originally contemplated, within a year. Current ratio (CR) is the ratio of total current assets (CA) to total current liabilities (CL). Current assets include cash and bank balances; inventory of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods; marketable securities; debtors (net of provision for bad and doubtful debts); bills receivable; and prepaid expenses. Current liabilities consist of trade creditors, bills payable, bank credit, and provision for taxation, dividends payable and outstanding expenses. This ratio measures the liquidity of the current assets and the ability of a company to meet its short-term debt obligation. CR measures the ability of the company to meet its CL, i.e., CA gets converted into cash in the operating cycle of the firm and provides the funds needed to pay for CL. The higher the current ratio, the greater the short-term solvency. This compares assets, which will become liquid within
24

approximately twelve months with liabilities, which will be due for payment in the same period and is intended to indicate whether there are sufficient short-term assets to meet the short- term liabilities. Recommended current ratio is 2: 1. Any ratio below indicates that the entity may face liquidity problem but also Ratio over 2: 1 as above indicates over trading, that is the entity is under utilizing its current assets.

LIQUID RATIO: Meaning: Liquid ratio is also known as acid test ratio or quick ratio. Liquid ratio compares the quick assets with the quick liabilities. It is expressed in the form of pure ratio. E.g. 1:1. The term quick assets refer to current assets, which can be converted into, cash immediately or at a short notice without diminution of value. Formula:
Liquid Ratio=Quick AssetsCurrent Laibility

Quick Ratio (QR) is the ratio between quick current assets (QA) and CL. QA refers to those current assets that can be converted into cash immediately without any value strength. QA includes cash and bank balances, short-term marketable securities, and sundry debtors. Inventory and prepaid expenses are excluded since these cannot be turned into cash as and when required. QR indicates the extent to which a company can pay its current liabilities without relying on the sale of inventory. This is a fairly stringent measure of liquidity because it is based on those current assets, which are highly liquid. Inventories are excluded from the numerator of this ratio because they are deemed the least liquid component of current assets. Generally, a quick ratio of

25

1:1 is considered good. One drawback of the quick ratio is that it ignores the timing of receipts and payments. CASH RATIO: Meaning: This is also called as super quick ratio. This ratio considers only the absolute liquidity available with the firm. Formula:
Laibility

Cash Ratio=Cash+Bank+Marketable securityCurrent

Since cash and bank balances and short term marketable securities are the most liquid assets of a firm, financial analysts look at the cash ratio. If the super liquid assets are too much in relation to the current liabilities then it may affect the profitability of the firm.

Solvency Ratio
DEBT EQUITY RATIO: MEANING: This ratio compares the long-term debts with shareholders fund. The relationship between borrowed funds & owners capital is a popular measure of the long term financial solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown by debt equity ratio. Alternatively, this ratio indicates the relative proportion of debt & equity in financing the assets of the firm. It is usually expressed as a pure ratio. E.g. 2:1

Formula:

Debt Equity Ratio=Long Term DebtShareholder's Fund

26

Debt equity ratio is also called as leverage ratio. Leverage means the process of the increasing the equity shareholders return through the use of debt. Leverage is also known as gearing or trading on equity. Debt equity ratio shows the margin of safety for long-term creditors & the balance between debt & equity. Total Assets to debt ratio: This ratio establishes the relationship of long term funds with total assets. The objective of computing this ratio is to determine the proportion of long term funds deployed in total assets. There are two component of this ratio, which are as under: Total Assets: They include fixed as well as current assets. However it does not include the fictitious assets. Long term debts: Long term debts refer to debts that will mature after one year. It includes debenture, bond, and loans from financial institutions. This ratio is computed by dividing the total assets by long term debts. This ratio is generally expressed as a pure ratio e.g. 5:3 Formula: Total assets to debts ratio=Total AssetsLong Term debt

This ratio measure to safety margin available to the provider of long term credit. It measures the extent to which debt is covered by the assets. A higher ratio display higher security to lender for extending long term loans to business. Low ratio represents a risky financial as it means that is the business depends heavily on outside loans for existence. PROPRIETORS RATIO: Meaning: Proprietary ratio is a test of financial & credit strength of the business. It relates shareholders fund to total assets. This ratio determines the long term or ultimate solvency of the company.
27

In other words, Proprietary ratio determines as to what extent the owners interest & expectations are fulfilled from the total investment made in the business operation. Proprietary ratio compares the proprietor fund with total liabilities. It is usually expressed in the form of percentage. Total assets also know it as net worth. Formula: Proprietors ratio=Proprietor'sfundsTotal assets

Activity Ratio:
DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO (DTO) Meaning: DTO is calculated by dividing the net credit sales by average debtors outstanding during the year. It measures the liquidity of a firm's debts. Net credit sales are the gross credit sales minus returns, if any, from customers. Average debtors are the average of debtors at the beginning and at the end of the year. This ratio shows how rapidly debts are collected. The higher the DTO, the better it is for the organization. Formula: DTR=Credit sale Average debtors

CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO: It is same as debtors turnover ratio. It shows the speed at which payments are made to the supplier for purchase made from them. It is a relation between net credit purchase and average creditors. Formula: CTR=Net Credit purchase average creditors Average account payable =Month in a year CTR Both the ratios indicate promptness in payment of creditor purchases. Higher creditors turnover ratio or a lower credit period enjoyed signifies that the creditors are being paid promptly. It

28

enhances credit worthiness of the company. A very low ratio indicates that the company is not taking full benefit of the credit period allowed by the creditors. INVENTORY OR STOCK TURNOVER RATIO (ITR) Meaning: ITR refers to the number of times the inventory is sold and replaced during the accounting period. Formula: ITR=Cost of goods soldAverage inventory

ITR reflects the efficiency of inventory management. The higher the ratio, the more efficient is the management of inventories, and vice versa. However, a high inventory turnover may also result from a low level of inventory, which may lead to frequent stock outs and loss of sales and customer goodwill. For calculating ITR, the average of inventories at the beginning and the end of the year is taken. In general, averages may be used when a flow figure (in this case, cost of goods sold) is related to a stock figure (inventories). FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER (FAT) The FAT ratio measures the net sales per rupee of investment in fixed assets. Formula: FAT=Net sale Net fixed assets This ratio measures the efficiency with which fixed assets are employed. A high ratio indicates a high degree of efficiency in asset utilization while a low ratio reflects an inefficient use of assets. However, this ratio should be used with caution because when the fixed assets of a firm are old and substantially depreciated, the fixed assets turnover ratio tends to be high (because the denominator of the ratio is very low).

Profitability Ratio:
29

GROSS PROFIT RATIO:Meaning: This ratio measures the relationship between gross profit and sales. It is defined as the excess of the net sales over cost of goods sold or excess of revenue over cost. This ratio shows the profit that remains after the manufacturing costs have been met. It measures the efficiency of production as well as pricing. This ratio helps to judge how efficient the concern is I managing its production, purchase, selling & inventory, how good its control is over the direct cost, how productive the concern , how much amount is left to meet other expenses & earn net profit. Formula GPR=Gross profit Net sale*100

NET PROFIT RATIO:Meaning: Net Profit ratio indicates the relationship between the net profit & the sales it is usually expressed in the form of a percentage. Formula: NPR=NPAT Net sale*100

This ratio shows the net earnings (to be distributed to both equity and preference shareholders) as a percentage of net sales. It measures the overall efficiency of production, administration, selling, financing, pricing and tax management. Jointly considered, the gross and net profit margin ratios provide an understanding of the cost and profit structure of a firm.
30

INVESTMENT / SHAREHOLDER

EARNING PER SAHRE:Meaning: Earnings per Share are calculated to find out overall profitability of the organization. Earnings per Share represent earning of the company whether or not dividends are declared. If there is only one class of shares, the earning per share are determined by dividing net profit by the number of equity shares. EPS measures the profits available to the equity shareholders on each share held.
Formula: `EPS=NPAT For equity shareholderNo.of equity share

The higher EPS will attract more investors to acquire shares in the company as it indicates that the business is more profitable enough to pay the dividends in time. But remember not all profit earned is going to be distributed as dividends the company also retains some profits for the business.

DIVIDEND PER SHARE:Meaning: DPS shows how much is paid as dividend to the shareholders on each share held. Formula: `DPS=Dividend paid to ordinary shareholder No.of ordinary share RETURN ON INVESTMENTS:

31

Return on share holders investment, popularly known as Return on investments (or) return on share holders or proprietors funds is the relationship between net profit (after interest and tax) and the proprietors funds. Formula,
`ROI=Net Profit(After interest and tax) Shareholder's Funds

The ratio is generally calculated as percentages by multiplying the above with 100.

1.4:1 1.6:1 1.5:1

Interpretation: As a rule, the current ratio with 2:1 (Or) more is considered as satisfactory position of the firm. The current ratio of the firm measures the short term solvency. It indicate the rupees of current available for each of current liabilities. The above chart shows the upward trend from the financial year 2009 to 2010. This is mainly increasing creditors from financial year 2009 to 2010. In the 2011 the current ratio is decline. This is decline by decreasing the creditors in 2011. We can say in other word that standard of current ration did not match to Appu International, so we can say that fulfilling the requirement to liabilities is less than the standard. Then we can say this is satisfactory ratio but they can improve this ratio up to standard level.

Quick Ratio: Year 2009 2010 2011 Quick Assets 86827021.04 120425291.61 145272182.13 Current Liabilities 67918719.9 87109222.77 112860432.66 Ratio 1.2:1 1.3:1 1.2:1

33

Interpretation: Generally, a quick ratio of 1to 1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial condition. Although quick ratio is a more penetrating test of liquidity than the current ratio, yet it should be used cautiously. Here it may not find any difficulty to meet its obligations because its quick assets are 1.2, 1.3 and 1.2 times of current liabilities. A quick ratio of 1 to 1 or more does not necessarily implies sound liquidity position. It should be remembered that all debtors may not be liquid, and cash may be immediately needed to pay operating expenses. Cash Ratio: Year 2009 2010 2011 Cash & Security 11561853.32 10658404.93 6139350.98 bank + Current Liabilities 67918719.9 87109222.77 112860432.66 Ratio
0.17 0.12

0.05

Interpretation: Since cash is the most liquid assets, a financial analyst may examine cash ratio and its equivalent to current liabilities. For Appu International Company, cash ratios are as 0.17, 0.12 and 0.05 in 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively. It clear that companys cash ratio is not maintained to the standard level. Its current cash for paying for his liabilities is very poor. They can increase their cash ratio by they can invest in marketable security and trade investment. By this investment
34

they can increase their cash ratio because these are equivalent to cash, company can immediately convert into cash.

Inventory Turnover Ratio: Year 2009 2010 2011 COGS 276777491.9 375001625.8 466641368.36 Avg. Inventory 23534500 22264000 25607500.00 Ratio 11.7 times 16.8 times 18.22 times

Interpretation: The inventory turnover ratio shows how rapidly the inventory is turning into receivable in to cash through sale. Generally, a high inventory turnover is indicative of good inventory management. A low inventory turnover implies excessive inventory levels than warranted by production and sales activities, or slow moving or obsolete inventory. Here if we compare in three years than we find that inventory turnover ratio are increasing year by year. We can say that an Appu international have a good inventory management. Appu International is turning its inventory of finished goods into sales in 2009 (at cost) 11.7 times in a year. In the other word, its holds average inventory of: 12 months/11.7 = 1.02 months, or 360 days/11.7 = 31 (30.76) days. Same as for 2010 and 2011 are 12 months/16.8 = 0.71 months and 360 days/ 16.8 = 21.42 days, 12months/ 18.22 = 0.65 months or 360 days/ 18.22 = 19.75 days.

Chapter 9 Suggestion And Conclusion

The CURRENT RATIO of APPU INTERNATIONAL was less than the standard in FY 2008-09 and 2009-10 i.e.1.8, 1.5 respectively. A low current ratio indicates that co will not be able to meet its short term debts. APPU INTERNATIONAL should look into its credit policies in order to ensure the timely collection of imparted credit that is not earning interest for the firm. There is decreasing trend in interest coverage ratio which is due to heavy investment which further effect on the return on investment ratio. So APPU INTERNATIONAL should keep up its investment unto sufficient level. The APPU INTERNATIONAL should formulate the strategy to use the fixed assets more effectively to generate more revenues. Operating expenses should be especially considered to be reduced. Inventory is the biggest item of balance sheet that must have demanded a large amount of maintaining cost. So there is need for efficient Inventory Management. There should be efficient utilization of share holder fund to increase return on investment and return on equity to maintain its goodwill in investors mind.

Through the losses were there in the FY 2009-2010, they were able to come out of it successfully and regain into profitable scenario. Particularly the last three years position is well due to raise in the profit level from the FY 2008 to FY 2011. It is better for the firm to diversify the funds to different sectors in the present market scenario. On a whole Appu International has once again demonstrated its potential to ride through the difficult times. Despite the slowdown in its growth, it has determined to grab numerous opportunities that are facing Indian bicycle industry.

Higher demand for bicycle parts can be expected in the next decade, once investments in ports and port development have started to reach fruition. As India is hopeful of competing with other established shipbuilding nations, the multinationals are likely to find complete bicycle opportunity in India, given the compliance requirements imposed by effects of international legislation on Appu International.
