INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC
MEANING:-
We know business is mainly concerned with the financial activities. In order to ascertain
the financial status of the business every enterprise prepares certain statements, known as
financial statements. Financial statements are mainly prepared for decision making
purposes. But the information as is provided in the financial statements is not adequately
helpful in drawing a meaningful conclusion. Thus, an effective analysis and interpretation
of financial statements is required.
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 :
(i) Profit and loss Account or Income Statement
These are prepared at the end of a given period of time. They are the indicators of
profitability and financial soundness of the business concern. The term financial analysis is
also known as analysis and interpretation of financial statements. It refers to the
establishing meaningful relationship between various items of the two financial statements
i.e. Income statement and position statement. It determines financial strength and
weaknesses of the firm.
The purpose of financial analysis is to assess the financial strength of the business.
Analysis also helps in taking decisions, whether funds required for the purchase of
new machines and equipments are provided from internal sources of the business or
not if yes, how much? And also to assess how much funds have been received from
external sources.
PARTIES INTERESTED
Analysis of financial statements has become very significant due to widespread
interest of various parties in the financial results of a business unit. The various
parties interested in the analysis of financial statements are :
(i) Investors : Shareholders or proprietors of the business are interested in the well
being of the business. They like to know the earning capacity of the business and its
prospects of future growth.
(iii) Trade unions : They are interested in financial statements for negotiating the
wages or salaries or bonus agreement with the management.
(iv) Lenders : Lenders to the business like debenture holders, suppliers of loans and
lease are interested to know short term as well as long term solvency position of the
entity.
(v) Suppliers and trade creditors : The suppliers and other creditors are interested
to know about the solvency of the business i.e. the ability of the company to meet the
debts as and when they fall due.
(viii) Employees : They are interested to know the growth of profit. As a result of
which they can demand better remuneration and congenial working environment.
(ix) Government and their agencies : Government and their agencies need financial
information to regulate the activities of the enterprises/industries and determine
taxation policy. They suggest measures to formulate policies and and regulations.
(x) Stock exchange : The stock exchange members take interest in financial
statements for the purpose of analysis because they provide useful financial
information about companies.
Thus, we find that different parties have interest in financial statements for different
reasons.
comparative balance sheet has two columns for the data of original balance sheets. A
third column is used to show change
(increase/decrease) in figures. The fourth column may be added for giving
percentages of increase or decrease. While interpreting comparative Balance sheet
the interpreter is expected to study the following aspects :
(i) For studying current financial position or liquidity position of a concern one
should examine the working capital in both the years. Working capital is the excess
of current assets over current liabilities.
(ii) For studying the long-term financial position of the concern, one should examine
the changes in fixed assets, long-term liabilities and capital.
(iii) The next aspect to be studied in a comparative balance sheet is the profitability
of the concern. The study of increase or decrease in profit will help the interpreter to
observe whether the profitability has improved or not. After studying various assets
and liabilities, an opinion should be formed about the financial position of the
concern.
office expenses etc. The figures of the above components are matched with their
corresponding figures of previous years individually and changes are noted.
The comparative income statement gives an idea of the progress of a business
over a period of time. The changes in money value and percentage can be determined
to analyze the profitability of the business. Like comparative balance sheet, income
statement also has four columns. The first two columns are shown figures of various
items for two years. Third and fourth columns are used to show increase or decrease
in figures in absolute amount and percentages respectively. The analysis and
interpretation of income statement will involve the following :
– The increase or decrease in sales should be compared with the increase or decrease
in cost of goods sold.
– The increase or decrease in net profit is calculated that will give an idea about the
overall profitability of the concern.
called common size balance sheet. Thus the common size statement may be prepared
in the following way.
– The total assets or liabilities are taken as 100
– The individual assets are expressed as a percentage of total assets i.e. 100 and
different liabilities are calculated in relation to total liabilities.
An aspect of technical analysis that tries to predict the future movement of a stock
based on past data. Trend analysis is based on the idea that what has happened in the
past gives traders an idea of what will happen in the future.
Trend analysis is used to predict a trend such as a bull
market so that investors can ride that trend until data suggests a trend reversal (e.g.,
bull market to bear market). Trend analysis is helpful because moving with trends,
as opposed to against them, can lead to profits for an investor.
