Importance of Financial statements
The key issue here is the amount of profit the business is making.
Is it enough considering the volume of goods sold?
Is it enough to justify the amount of capital invested in the business?
How does it compare with prior periods?
How does it compare with other firms in the same industry?
FORMULARS TO CALCULATE
PROFITABILITY
Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit /total Revenue x100
Net Profit Margin = Net Profit after Tax X100/ Revenue
Return on Capital Employed = PBIT and Dividends X 100/ Total Capital
Employed [Including interest bearing debt]
Return on Equity = PAIT and PSD * 100 /Equity Capital [Ordinary Shares +
Reserves]
PBIT : Profit before Interest and Tax
PAIT : Profit after Interest and Tax
PSD : Preference Shares’ Dividend
Liquidity ratios
measure a company's ability to pay off its short-term debts as they become
due, using the company's current or quick assets. Liquidity ratios include the
current ratio, quick ratio, and working capital ratio.
The main liquidity ratios are Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory): Current Liabilities
gearing
refers to the way the company is financed. It is concerned with two types of
financing, namely Debt (borrowings) and Equity (shareholders’ funds).
Gearing can be understood as long term liquidity. There are three main ratios
used to assess gearing:
Debt / Equity Ratio = Total Interest Bearing/ Debt Total Equity
Debt / Total Capital = Total Interest Bearing Debt Debt +
Activity /efficiency ACTIVITY
Activity / Efficiency Activity ratios try to assess how well the business utilizes
the resources at its disposal.
The main areas of concern are as follows Asset turnover = Sales Revenue
Total Assets less Current Liabilities Stock turnover = Cost of Sales Average
Inventory
Trade receivables collection period = Trade Receivables X 365 (in days) Credit
Sales
Trade payables payment period = Trade Payables X365 (in days) Credit
Purchases \ Expenses as % of sales = Total Expenses * 100 Sales

SOLUTIONS ON LIDUIDITY
Gearing Ratios Debt to equity ratio has been increased by 0.6 times on the
other hand, interest coverage ratio has been decreased by 0.7 times in
2019/2020. Those ratios highlighted that, debt and interest payment for the
financial year 2019/2020 have been increased than 2018/2019.
INVESTORS RATIOS
) Investors ratios clearly show that, earning per share and dividend per share
have been decreased in 2019/2020. It will lead for the dissatisfaction of the
existing investors and potential investors regarding investment of the
company in the future.
IN CONCLUSION
The company has achieved better gross profit margin however it failed to achieve better net profit
margin in 2019/2020.
Company should focus to control/ deduct its operating and non-operating cost by using cost cutting/
reduction techniques to increase net profit margin in the future.
Company had low inventory holding period in 2019/2020, it is better to avoid un-necessary inventory
related cost.
However, liquidity position is low level in 2019/2020, company should maintain optimum level of
inventory and trade receivable period (through possible discount for early settlement and instalment
payment method) to have optimum level of liquidity position as well healthy activities of the company.
The company should try to have optimum level of debt capital which leads for the high amount of
interest cost. Also it is more risk for the company due to that, company has to increase equity capital
or decrease debt capital. It is better to thing to increase equity capital through the share issues and
increase reserves of the companies.
If company is able to consider the above recommendations, it will lead for the positive impact on the
investors’ ratios in the future.
