CHAPTER 1 INDUSTRY PROFILE: IT/ITES INDUSTRIY:


The global IT industry has matured over the years and has emerged to be a chief contributor to the global economic growth. The global IT sector, constituted by the software and services, Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and the hardware segments, has been on a gradual growth trajectory with a steady rise in revenues as witnessed in the past few years. ITITES industry in India has today become a growth engine for the economy, contributing substantially to increases in the GDP, urban employment and exports, to achieve the vision of a powerful and resilient India. The two arms of this industry are BPO and KPO. BPO or Business process outsourcing is the arm of ITES, which facilitates delivery of services through the use of information technology. However, it necessitates transfer of ownership and management of the process from the customer (offshore) to India based service provider. Having understood the BPO, the company under study can now be classified in context of the above. ALLSEC TECHNOLOGIES is a BPO by nature since it offers business value to our Clients by combining domain expertise, a partnership approach and operational excellence.

BPO (BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING) What is BPO?


Business process outsourcing (BPO) is a subset of outsourcing that involves the contracting of the operations and responsibilities of specific business functions (or processes) to a third-party service provider. Originally, this was associated with manufacturing firms, such as Coca Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply chain. BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing - which includes internal business functions such as human resources or finance and accounting, and front office outsourcing - which includes customer-related services such as contact centre services. BPO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore outsourcing. BPO that is contracted to a company's neighbouring (or nearby) country is called outsourcing. Often the business processes are information technology-based, and are referred to as ITES-BPO, where ITES stands for Information Technology Enabled Service. Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and legal process outsourcing (LPO) are some of the sub-segments of business process outsourcing industry. In 2010, the Philippines have surpassed India as the largest business process
outsourcing industry in the world. After growing 20 per cent in 2012, the BPO industry of the Philippines is estimated to gross revenue of upwards to $25 billion by 2016. By these estimates, the Philippine's BPO industry will account for approximately 10 per cent of the nation's GDP.

Industry size
India has revenues of US$10.9 billion from offshore BPO and US$30 billion from IT and totals BPO (expected in FY 2008). India thus has some 5-6% share of the total BPO Industry, but a commanding 63% share of the offshore component. This 63% is a drop from the 70% offshore share that India enjoyed last year: despite the industry growing 38% in India last year, other locations like Philippines, and South Africa have emerged to take a share of the market. The South African call centre industry has grown by approximately 8% per year since 2003 and it directly employs about 54 000 people, contributing 0.92% to South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP). China is also trying to grow from a very small base in this industry. However, while the BPO industry is expected to continue to grow in India, its market share of The offshore piece is expected to decline. Important centres in India are Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai,Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Patna, Trivandr um, Bhubaneswar and New Delhi. In fact, the Philippines has overtaken India as the largest call center industry in the world in 2010. The Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) countries, along with the People's Republic of China and India known collectively as ACI countriesare likely to see services like BPO figure strongly in their economies over the medium term. Services trade among ACI countries has been growing at a very rapid rate over recent years, despite starting

from a relatively low baseline. Although data are scarce and must be interpreted with caution, an analysis of applied services sector policies in the region suggests there is much policymaker can do to intensify this process, and increase the pace at which the transformation to a service economy is taking place. Eastern Europe is also an emerging BPO destination. McKinsey reported that in 2010, 33,000 jobs were moved to Eastern European countries. While the overall size of the industry and the number of developers in Eastern Europe is lower than India, the knowledge of European language such as French, Spanish, German and Italian by many Eastern Europeans, as well as the overall high quality of education in these locations, allows the BPO industry in this region to continue to grow. For example, the region has an estimated 17.2 million people with a tertiary education, compared to 13.6 million in India, making it an attractive choice for BPO, especially if more specialized projects are to be outsourced.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
Finance has emerged as a distinct area of study during second half of the twentieth century. But even before that some direct or indirect references to finance function were made on a casual basis. The evaluation of finance function and the changes in scope appeared due to two factors namely.

1. The continuous growth and diversity in business 2. The gradual appearance of new financial analytical tools.

Meaning of financial management:


The term financial management has been defined differently by different authors. According to Solomon financial management is concerned with the efficient use of an important Economic resource, namely capital fund.

Scope of financial management:


Financial management has under gone significant changes over the years as regards its scope and coverage. As such the role of finance manager has also undergone fundamental changes over the years. In order to have a better exposition to these changes over the years, it will be appropriate to study both the traditional concept and modern concept of the financial function.

TRADITIONAL CONCEPT:
In the beginning of the present century, which was the starting point for the scholarly writings on corporation finance, the function of finance was considered to be the task of providing funds needed by the enterprise on terms that are most favorable to the operations of the enterprise. The traditional scholars are of the view that the quantum and pattern of finance requirements and allocation of funds as among different assets is the concern of non financial executives. According to them, the finance manager has to undertake the following three functions. 1. Arrangement of funds from financial institutions 2. Arrangement of funds through financial instruments 3. Looking after the legal and according relationship between a corporation and its sources of funds.

Modern concept:
The traditional concept outlived its utility due to changed business situations since mid 1950s. Technological improvements widened marketing operations, development of a strong corporate structure, keen and healthy business competitions all made it imperative for the management to make optimum use of available financial resources for continued survival of the firm.

Finance functions:
Although it may be difficult to separate the finance functions from production, marketing and other functions, yet the functions themselves can be readily identified. We may identify two kinds of finance functions which are managerial and routine. There are four important managerial finance functions 1. Investment or long term asset mix decision 2. Financing or capital mix decision 3. Dividend or profit allocation decision 4. Liquidity or short term asset mix decision.

Investment decision:
Investment decision or capital budgeting is the oldest area of the recent thinking in finance. It relates to allocation of capital and involves decisions to commit funds to long term assets which would yield benefits in future. Its a very significant aspect in the task of measuring the prospective profitability of new investments. Future benefits are difficult to measure and cannot be predicted with certainty because of the uncertain future, capital budgeting involves risk. Investment proposals should, therefore, be evaluated in terms of both expected return and risk.

Financing decision:
Financing decision is the second important function to be performed by the financial manager. Broadly, he must decide when, where and how to acquire funds to meet the firms investment needs. The central issue before him is to determine the proportion of equity and debt. The mix of debt and equity is known as the firms capital structure. The finance manager must strive to obtain the best financing mix or optimum capital structure for his firm. The firms capital structure is optimum when the market value of shares is maximized.

Dividend decision:
Dividend decision is the third major financial decision. The financial manager must decide whether the firm should distributed all profits, or retain them, or distribute a portion and retain the balance. Like the debt policy, the dividend policy should be determined in terms of its impact on the shareholders value. The optimum dividend policy is one which maximizes the market value of the firms shares. Thus, if shareholders are not indifferent to the firms dividend policy, the financial manager must determine the optimum dividend payout ratio.

Liquidity Decision:
Current assets management which affects a firms liquidity is yet another important finance function, in addition to the management of long term assets. Current assets should be managed efficiently for safeguarding the firm against the dangers of illiquidity and insolvency. Investment in current assets affects firms profitability, liquidity and risk

Ratio analysis theory: Meaning of Ratio:


Ratio are relationships expressed in mathematical terms between figures which are connected with each other in some manner and stigmatizes a long way of accounting figures, the main contribution lies in bringing into bold relief the inter relationship which exist between various segments of business as suppressed through accounting statements and in avoiding any distortions that may results from a absolute study of accounting information. Ratio can be expressed in two ways:

Times: when one value is divided by another the unit used to express the quotient is termed as Times Percentage: if the quotient obtained is multiplied by 100, the unit of expression is
termed as percentage.

Classification of Ratios:
Ratios can be classified into different categories depending upon the basis of classification. The classification has been on the basis of the financial statement to which the determinants of a ratio belong on this basis the ratio could be classified as:

1. Profit and Loss account ratio: Ratio calculated on the basis of the item of the profit and loss account only. Example: gross profit ratio, stock turnover ratio. 2. Balance sheet ratio: ratio calculated on the basis of the figures of balance sheet only. Example: Current ratio, debit to equity ratio. 3. Composite Ratio or inter-statement ratio: ratios based on figures of profit and loss account as well as the balance sheet. Example: fixed assets turnover ratio.

Advantages of Ratio Analysis:


Ratio analysis is an important and ageold technique of financial analysis. The following are some of the advantages / Benefits of ratio analysis: 1. Simplifies financial statements: It simplifies the comprehension of financial statements. Ratios tell the whole story of changes in the financial condition of the business 2. Facilitates interfirm comparison: It provides data for interfirm comparison. Ratios highlight the factors associated with successful and unsuccessful firm. They also reveal strong firms and weak firms, overvalued and undervalued firms. 3. Helps in planning: It helps in planning and forecasting. Ratios can assist management, in its basic functions of forecasting. Planning, coordination, control and communications. 4. Makes interfirm comparison possible: Ratios analysis also makes possible comparison of the performance of different divisions of the firm. The ratios are helpful in deciding about their efficiency or otherwise in the past and likely performance in the future. 5. Help in investment decisions: It helps in investment decisions in the case of investors and lending decisions in the case of bankers etc.

Limitation of Ratio Analysis:


1. Limitations of financial statements: Ratios are based only on the information which has been recorded in the financial statements. Financial statements themselves are subject to several limitations. Thus ratios derived, there from, are also subject to those limitations. For example, nonfinancial changes though important for the business are not relevant by the financial statements. Financial statements are affected to a very great extent by accounting conventions and concepts. Personal judgment plays a great part in determining the figures for financial statements. 2. Comparative study required: Ratios are useful in judging the efficiency of the business only when they are compared with past results of the business. However, such a comparison only provide glimpse of the past performance and forecasts for future may not prove correct since several other factors like market conditions, management policies, etc. may affect the future operations. 3. Ratios alone are not adequate: Ratios are only indicators, they cannot be taken as final regarding good or bad financial position of the business. Other things have also to be seen. 4. Problems of price level changes: A change in price level can affect the validity of ratios calculated for different time periods. In such a case the ratio analysis may not clearly indicate the trend in solvency and profitability of the company. The financial statements, therefore, be adjusted keeping in view the price level changes if a meaningful comparison is to be made through accounting ratios. 5. Lack of adequate standard: No fixed standard can be laid down for ideal

ratios. There are no well accepted standards or rule of thumb for all ratios which can be accepted as norm. It renders interpretation of the ratios difficult. 6. Limited use of single ratios: A single ratio, usually, does not convey much of a sense. To make a better interpretation, a number of ratios have to be calculated which is likely to confuse the analyst than help him in making any good decision.

7. Personal bias: Ratios are only means of financial analysis and not an end in itself. Ratios have to interpret and different people may interpret the same ratio in different way. 8. Incomparable: Not only industries differ in their nature, but also the firms of the similar business widely differ in their size and accounting procedures etc. It makes comparison of ratios difficult and misleading .

Importance of ratio analysis:


It helps in evaluating the firms performance : With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several aspects such as financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of the undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether the management has utilized the firms assets correctly, to increase the investors wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of firms assets. It helps in interfirm comparison: Ratio analysis helps in interfirm comparison by providing necessary data. An inter firm comparison indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for the comparison of the performance of different departments. If comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if results are negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in line . It simplifies financial statement: The information given in the basic financial statements serves no useful Purpose unless it s interrupted and analyzed in some comparable terms. The ratio analysis is one of the tools in the hands of those who want to know something more from the financial statements in the simplified manner. It helps in determining the financial position of the concern: Ratio analysis facilitates the management to know whether the firms financial position is improving or deteriorating or is constant over the years by setting a trend with the help of ratios The analysis with the help of ratio analysis can know the direction of the trend of strategic ratio may help the management in the task of planning, forecasting and controlling. It is helpful in budgeting and forecasting: Accounting ratios provide a reliable data, which can be compared, studied and analyzed. These ratios provide sound footing for future prospectus. The ratios can also serve as a basis for preparing budgeting future line of action. Liquidity position: With help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding the Liquidity position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory if it is able to meet its current obligation when they become due. The ability to met short term liabilities is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm. Long term solvency: Ratio analysis is equally for assessing the long term financial ability of the Firm. The long term solvency s measured by the leverage or capital structure and profitability ratio which shows the earning power and operating efficiency, Solvency ratio shows relationship between total liability and total assets. Operating efficiency: Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis, relevant from the View point of management is that it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various activity ratios measures this kind of

operational efficiency.

Current Ratio:
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. This ratio is also known as " working capital ratio". It is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to make the analysis for short term financial position or liquidity of a firm. It is calculated by dividing the total of the current assets by total of the current liabilities.

Formula: Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Significance:
This ratio is measure of liquidity and should be used very carefully because it suffers from many limitations. It is, therefore, suggested that it should not be used as the sole index of short term solvency.
1. It is crude ratio because it measures only the quantity and not the quality of the current assets. 2. Even if the ratio is favourable, the firm may be in financial trouble, because of more stock and work in process which is not easily convertible into cash, and, therefore firm may have less cash to pay off current liabilities. 3. Valuation of current assets and window dressing is another problem. This ratio can be very easily manipulated by overvaluing the current assets. An equal increase in both current assets and current liabilities would decrease the ratio and similarly equal decrease in current assets and current liabilities would increase current.

Interpretation

Acid Test Ratio/Quick Ratio/Liquid Ratio


Acid-test or quick ratio or liquid ratio measures the ability of a company to use its near cash or quick assets to extinguish or retire its current liabilities immediately. Quick assets include those current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to cash at close to their book values. A company with a Quick Ratio of less than 1 cannot currently pay back its current liabilities.

Formula: Current Ratio = Current Assets-(stock and Prepaid expenses)/Current Liabilities- (Bank overdraft)
The quick ratio is more conservative than the current ratio, a more well-known liquidity measure, because it excludes inventory from current assets. Inventory is excluded because some companies have difficulty turning their inventory into cash. In the event that shortterm obligations need to be paid off immediately, there are situations in which the current ratio would overestimate a company's short-term financial strength.

Inventory Turnover Ratio


A ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period. The days in the period can then be divided by the inventory turnover formula to calculate the days it takes to sell the inventory on hand or "inventory turnover days."

Formula: Inventory Ratio=Cost of goods sold/Average inventory Significance


This ratio should be compared against industry averages. A low turnover implies poor sales and, therefore, excess inventory. A high ratio implies either strong sales or ineffective buying. High inventory levels are unhealthy because they represent an investment with a rate of return of zero. It also opens the company up to trouble should prices begin to fall. A low turnover is usually a bad sign because products tend to deteriorate as they sit in a warehouse. Companies selling perishable items have very high turnover. For more accurate inventory turnover figures, the average inventory figure, ((beginning inventory + ending inventory)/2), is used when computing inventory turnover. Average inventory accounts for any seasonality effects on the ratio.

Allsec Technologies inventory turnover ration There is no inventory turnover ratio in the case of this company as Allsec technologies is involved in selling services to clients

Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio:


Fixed assets turnover ratio is also known as sales to fixed assets ratio. This ratio measures the efficiency and profit earning capacity of the concern. Higher the ratio, greater is the intensive utilization of fixed assets. Lower ratio means under utilization of fixed assets. The ratio is calculated by using following formula Formula: Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Net Fixed Assets

Significance:
This ratio is often used as a measure in manufacturing industries, where major purchases are made for PP&E to help increase output. When companies make these large purchases, prudent investors watch this ratio in following years to see how effective the investment in the fixed assets . Allsec Technologies Fixed assets turnover ratio The company has not got any fixed assets turnover ratio as there are no fixed assets involved in the business.

Total Assets Turnover Ratio:


The amount of sales generated for every dollar's worth of assets. It is calculated by dividing sales in dollars by assets in dollars Formula= Net sales/Total assets Significance Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or revenue - the higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy: companies with low profit margins tend to have high asset turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset turnover Allsec Technologies for assets turnover ratio

Allsec Technologies doesnt have any total assets turnover ration.

Debtor turnover ratio:


Debtors turnover ratio or accounts receivable turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debt collection of a firm. In simple words it indicates the number of times

average debtors (receivable) are turned over during a year. Formula: Debtors Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales /Average Debtors

Significance:
Accounts receivable turnover ratio or debtors turnover ratio indicates the number of times the debtors are turned over a year. The higher the value of debtors turnover the more efficient is the management of debtors or more liquid the debtors are. Similarly, low debtors turnover ratio implies inefficient management of debtors or less liquid debtors. It is the reliable measure of the time of cash flow from credit sales. There is no rule of thumb which may be used as a norm to interpret the ratio as it may be different from firm to firm.

Interpretation

Creditor turnover ratio

A short-term liquidity measure used to quantify the rate at which a company pays off its suppliers. Accounts payable turnover ratio is calculated by taking the total purchases made from suppliers and dividing it by the average accounts payable amount during the same period. Formula: Creditor Turnover Ratio=Net credit Purchases/Average creditors

Allsec Technologies Creditor turnover ratio Allsec Technologies doesnt have any creditor turnover ratio.

Net profit margin ratio:


A ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues, or net profits divided by sales. It measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings. Profit margin is very useful when comparing companies in similar industries. A higher profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs compared to its competitors. Profit margin is displayed as a percentage.

Formula: Net profit margin ratio= (net profit after tax/sales)*100

Significance:
Increased earnings are good, but an increase does not mean that the profit margin of a company is improving. For instance, if a company has costs that have increased at a greater rate than sales, it leads to a lower profit margin. This is an indication that costs need to be under better control.

Return on assets:
An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea an idea as to how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earning. Calculated by dividing a companys annual by its total assets, ROA is displayed as a percentage. Sometimes this is referred to as return on investment. Formula: Return on assets=net profit after tax/total assets.

Significance:
ROA tells you what earnings were generated from invested capital (assets). ROA for public companies can vary substantially and will be highly dependent on the industry. This is why when using ROA as a comparative measure, it is best to compare it against a company's previous ROA numbers or the ROA of a similar company.

Debtequity ratio:
DebttoEquity ratio indicates the relationship between the external equities or outsiders funds and the internal equities or shareholders funds. It is also known as external internal equity ratio. It is determined to ascertain soundness of the long term financial policies of the company. Formula: debitequity ratio=Total Long Term Debts / Shareholders Funds

Significance:
Debt to equity ratio indicates the proportionate claims of owners and the outsiders against the firms assets. The purpose is to get an idea of the cushion available to outsiders on the liquidation of the firm. However, the interpretation of the ratio depends upon the financial and business policy of the company. The owners want to do the business with maximum of outsider's funds in order to take lesser risk of their investment and to increase their earnings (per share) by paying a lower fixed rate of interest to outsiders. The outsiders creditors) on the other hand, want that shareholders (owners) should invest and risk their share of proportionate

investments. A ratio of 1:1 is usually considered to be satisfactory ratio although there cannot be rule of thumb or standard norm for all types of businesses. Theoretically if the owners interests are greater than that of creditors, the financial position is highly solvent. In analysis of the longterm financial position it enjoys the same importance as the current ratio in the analysis of the shortterm financial position.

Operating ratio:
Operating ratio is the ratio of cost of goods sold plus operating expenses to net sales. It is generally expressed in percentage. Operating ratio measures the cost of operations per unit of sales. This is closely related to the ratio of operating profit to net sales. Formula: Operating Ratio = ((Cost of goods sold + Operating expenses) / Net sales)*100

Significance:
Operating ratio shows the operational efficiency of the business. Lower operating ratio shows higher operating profit and vice versa. An operating ratio ranging between 75% and 80% is generally considered as standard for manufacturing concerns. This ratio is considered to be a yardstick of operating efficiency but it should be used cautiously because it may be affected by a number of uncontrollable factors beyond the control of the firm. Moreover, in some firms, nonoperating expenses from a substantial part of the total expenses and in such cases operating ratio may give misleading results .

Working capital turnover ratio:


Working capital turnover ratio indicates the velocity of the utilization of net working capital. This ratio represents the number of times the working capital is turned over in the course of year Formula: working Capital Turnover Ratio = Cost of Sales / Net Working Capital

Significance:
The working capital turnover ratio measures the efficiency with which the working capital is being used by a firm. A high ratio indicates efficient utilization of working capital and a low ratio indicates otherwise. But a very high working capital turnover ratio may also mean lack of sufficient working capital which is not a good situation.

Gross Profit Ratio:


A financial metric used to assess a firm's financial health by revealing the proportion of money left over from revenues after accounting for the cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin serves as the source for paying additional expenses and future savings. Formula: gross profit Ratio = (gross profit / net sales)*100

Significance:
Gross profit ratio indicates the average margin on the goods sold. It shows whether the selling prices are adequate or not. It also the extent to which selling prices may be reduced without resulting in losses.

A low gross profit ratio may indicate a higher cost of goods sold due to higher cost of production. It may also be due to low selling prices. A high gross profit ratio may be increased by taking the following steps: Lowering cost of goods sold, selling prices remaining constant Increasing selling prices, the cost of goods remaining constant Increasing the sale of those goods which have a higher gross margin

Expense Ratio:
This ratio present the relationship that exit between each item of expenses and net sales. It indicates the portion of the sales which is consumed by various items of operating cost.

Significance:
The operating ratio is yardstick to measure the efficiency with which a business is operated. It shows the percentage of net sales that is is absorbed by cost of goods sold and operating expenses. A high operating ratio is considered unfavorable because it leaves a smaller margin of profit to meet no operating expenses. On the other hand, a lower operating ratio is considered a good sign

Earnings per Share (EPS):


In order to avoid confusion on account of the varied meanings of the term capital employed, the overall profitability can also be judged by calculating earnings per share. Formula: Earning per share=profit after taxdividend/no of equity shares .

Significance:
The earnings per share help to determining the market price of the equity share of the company. A comparison of earning per share of the company with another will also help in deciding whether the equity share capital is being effectively used or not. It also helps in estimating the company capacity to pay dividend to its equity shareholders

CHAPTER 4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:


The data obtained for the study has to be divided into two groups:

Primary data Secondary data

Primary Data: The information and data collected by conducting personal interviews with the financial manager of capital IQ .These interviews helped me to secure first hand information about various aspects related to the management. Secondary Data: It comprises of information obtained from annual reports and other statements, files and some other important documents maintained by the organization

LIMITATIONS:
The interpretation part of the project, comprising of inter-firm analysis, will be confined to past five years financial statements. Effect of personal ability and bias of the analyst Ratio analysis becomes less effective due to price level changes Further, the study takes into consideration the quantitative aspect of the performance and not the qualitative aspect such as impact of industrial assistance of company in the economic development of the country or state, on additional employment opportunities, contribution to net domestic product, etc.

CHAPTER 4 DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION: COMMON SIZE BANALCE SHEET ANALYSIS:
Through a common size analysis an attempt has been made to analyze the common size balance sheets of Capital IQ for a period of five years (2007to 2011 In common size analysis, the items in the balance sheet are stated as percentages of total assets and liabilities. The objective of this analysis is to study the trend in different items, both assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. The common size balance sheets are shown in the above table. Comment on the Financial Strategy of Capital IQ on the basis of Common Size Analysis: A careful observation of the common size analysis of the company reveals that it has been reducing its debt in the capital structure. At the same time the shareholders funds have been increasing due to the profits and surplus being ploughed back. This means that over the years, the company has been relying only on internal sources and not external sources of financing. This, in the long run will reduce the interest burden on the company leaving more in the hands of the company.

Interpretation:
The ideal current ratio of 2:1. As we can observe, over the years the current ratio of Capital IQ has increased consistently and hence this company is solvent and ensures continued liquidity and also allows a cushion. It is important to note that a very high ratio may be indicative that the firms current assets are not being used optimally and some of these assets may be remaining idle. The firm is in a better position in the year 2008 when compared to 2007 and has increased consistently. The liquidity position is best in the financial year 2011. An analysis of the financial statements of the company reveals that the liquidity position has improved with time because the components of current assets have been improving. As we can observe, the current assets for the company have been increasing continuously over last 5years. Regarding Allsec, the ratio over the last 5yrs is fluctuating and very high as far as the ideal ratio is concerned. This is because of the high amount of loans given to other companies which has increased the value of the current assets which is considered good for the company

Debt equity ratio(Allsec)

Interpretation:
It is difficult to determine the level of Debt equity ratio which will be beneficial to the firm. Thus an ideal debtequity ratio usually depends on the type of the industry and size of the firm. The table above shows that the debtequity ratio of Capital IQ has decreased over that past years. If a lot of debt is used to finance increased operations (high debt to equity), the company could potentially generate more earnings than it would have without this outside financing. If this were to increase earnings by a greater amount than the debt cost (interest), then the shareholders benefit as more earnings are being spread among the same amount of shareholders. A higher ratio indicates a risky position in the year 2007 while a lower ratio indicates safer financial position in the year. From the above graph we observed that debtequity ratio gradually decreases, so it will help full to company for proper utilization of debt.

Allsecs Debtequity ratio has increased considerably over the years except in the year 2008 .This is because, although in this year the loans have increased considerably, the

shareholders funds have decreases. Hence as the ratios are increasing, we could say that the company is taking more loans to fund its operations and continuous increase in the loan funds could lead to bankruptcy.

Interpretation:
From the above graph Capital IQ has fluctuation from the year 20072009 and slowly decreasing from the year 20092011. This is due to notable maintaining shareholder fund which is directly proposition to increasing profit after tax and also there increasing personal expense of the company which include like salaries, bonus and other expenses.

Allsecs Return on Equity has reduced considerably over the years and has not shown any signs of increment over the years. As we refer from the annual report, there has been decrease in the net income of the company because less increment in income and increasing of personal expense of the company which includes like salaries, bonus and other expenses. Capital IQs return on equity is far better than Allsecs.

Return on Asset(CIQ) Return on Asset(Allsec)

Interpretation:
Return on Assets is linked to the efficient utilization of the assets which a company owns and optimum utilization of the available assets is most desirable. Main scenario of this ratio is earning more money with less investment. From the above table it is observed that company has increasing the return during the period 20072008. But from the year 2009 it has slightly decreases.

.Allsecs has a huge dip in the ROI over the period due to increasing expenditure of the company it reflect to less profit for every year. Capital IQ is maintaining a good ROI when compare to Allsecs

net profit margin(Allsec)

Interpretation:
High net profit margin ratio demonstrates effectiveness at converting sales into actual profit. Profit margins vary by industry, but all else being equal, the higher a company's profit margin compared to its competitors, the better. Net profit margin indicates how well the company converts sales into profits after all expenses is subtracted out. From the above table Capital IQs net profit margin ratio consistently maintaining by this we can say that company is good at managing income and expenditure. Less expenditure incurs good profit margin. Regarding Allsecs there is high net profit margin in the year 2007. From the year 20082011 net profit margin is goes on decreasing this is because increasing of expenditure for every year from 2008-2011. Hence as there is not proper managing of expenditure of the company it incur less profit to company. Capital IQ is good at managing expense and it has effectively converting sales into profit thats the main secret of Capital IQ as maintain constant net profit.

operating profit margin(Allsec) operating profit margin(CIQ)

Interpretation:
Operating margin gives analysts an idea of how much a company makes (before interest and taxes) on each rupee 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 .

From the above graph we observe Capital IQs has maintaining good operating profit ratio it mainly based on operating income. From the year 2007 2011 there is slightly increasing operating profit.

From the above graph we observe Allsecs has fluctuation from the year 20072011 there is no proper management of operating income. Capital IQs is good at managing operating profit margin when compare to Allsecs.

expense ratio(CIQ) expense ratio(Allsec)

Interpretation:
As we can observe, the ratios of Capital IQ have increased by significant amounts. This can be attributed to the fact that the no. of employees increased over the years as company expanded due to which personal expenses increased, so the average daily expenses ratio increased gradually. Also, the operating expenses show considerable amount of increase. This shows the company has good growth and expansion. Allsesc has also shown greater increase in the ratios due to the increase in the personal expenses as compared to Capital IQ. Hence it will affect the profit as well as the share holders .Because the if the expense will increase then it will affect the profit and if the profit will decrease then it will not maximize the share holders wealth. This may create problem for the company

Earning per share(CIQ) Earning per share(Allsec)

Interpretation:
The phrase earnings in finance is referred to net profit, that is, after tax profit. Earnings per Share equals simply to the total net profit (earnings) divided by the total number of shares. What EPS means is how much net profit one share of the company is producing. Obviously the higher this ratio is, the better, because the value of the share will increase. From the above graph we observe that the Earning per Share Ratio of Capital IQ is consistently increasing which shows that the company is performing well in the market which is creating more profit for the company as well as the stock holders .It will attract more investors to invest in the company as EPS tells how much each rupees invested earns (this is true if we only consider the EPSs of the different company's stocks).In case of Allsecs it is clearly observed that share price is decreasing every year.

FINDINGS:
The liquidity position of the company is satisfactory. The company liquidity position year by year increases .The ratio is fluctuating In between 0.824 to 2.594 which is due to the current assets gradually increase and current liabilities gradually decreasing. Quick ratio of the company is fluctuating in between 0.824 to 2.594 this ratio equal to the current ratio, why because of the company dont have any stock, this company purely financial service company .Quick ratio ideal ratio is 1:1 and present ratio in the year 201011 is 2.594 in this year ratio is good and liquidity position is better. Net profit margin ratio is changed slightly from 9.27% to 8.71% the company maintains the net profit margin ratio of 8.71% in the year 201011 where as Allsec is going on decreasing Return on equity ratio is fluctuating in between 0.6 to 0.46 the high profitability in the year 200708 (0.46) and lowest in the year 201011. Capital IQ company net profit is year by year increases and the business is also increases. In the year 200607net profit is 57228939 the year 201011 is 216538842 so the business is gradually increasing. Earnings per share of the company is increasing from 20072011 that means profit of the company is satisfactory where as Allsecs EPS is going on decreasing profit of the company is not satisfactory because of expenses are increasing than income. Operating profit margin ratio is constant 0.99 from the year 20072011 where as Allsecs Operating profit margin is fluctuating in between 1.01 to 0.93.

SUGGESTIONS:
The following recommendations have been made only in respect of those ratios where CIQs performance is poorer Current Ratio The current ratio of CIQ in the financial year 200607 was 0.824. Thus the company can improve this ratio and bring it closer to the ideal ratio of 2:1 by either increasing its current assets or reducing its current liabilities. In the year 201011 CR is improved to 2.59 this will improve the shortterm liquidity position of the company Net Profit Margin The net profit of the firm has been falling despite both sales and net profit of the firm increasing every year. This could once again be attributed to the cost plus markup revenue model followed by the firm which has proved to be both a boon and bane for it. While the model provides an umbrella to the company during rainy days since that markup rate is fixed and that company is bound to earn more than it expended on the product sold, there is no scope to earn more that the rate fixed, leaving less scope for higher profit on product. Thus the company should take steps in this regard to improve its profits which will automatically reflect in the net profit margin in the form higher values signifying an improvement. Operating Profit Margin The analysis of the companys income statements reveal the expenses have been increasing at a rate higher than that of the income. This can be attributed to the cost plus markup revenue model of the company which has limited the companys scope for earning a high profit margin. The company can therefore take steps to increase its income from both core and subsidiary operations by altering its revenue model. This will improve the efficiency of CIQ

CAPITAL IQ

slightly

The liquidity position of the company has gradually and consistently increased during the years. The availability of current assets to pay off current liabilities is fairly sufficient to meet the obligations arising out of current liabilities to the tune. The profitability position of the company is more or less consistent over the years and shows that the company is profitable enough. Turnover ratios show an increase which states that the companys sales are quite higher than the net investments in the fixed assets.

Solvency Ratio of Capital IQ is very good over the years. As such, there are no debts to this company as it is totally funded by Capital IQ INC.

Average Daily Expense Ratio of this company has increased considerably which justifies the expansion plans. Although the investments in the fixed assets over the years have reduced, this company doesnt require much of the investments

How can the company improve its net profit?


Both of the above parameters of measuring the profitability of the firm can be improved by:

Changing the revenue model of the company. Charging a higher percentage of mark-up from the customer i.e. the parent company

Capital IQs financial performance has proved to be better. If the company continues to progress and perform at this pace its liquidity position will also improve in the coming financial years. Though the impact of global financial crisis was high on IT/ ITES sector, Capital IQ has succeeded in coping up with it and performed well because of its revenue model. The company indeed has a bright future ahead.
