assets, as at a particular date.
Financial position of the company with regard to its ability to
pay current debts. By comparing the current assets to the

19. What an Income Statement says
Main and any secondary sources of income.
The terms used to describe the revenue will provide a
clue about the nature of the organization.
The items listed as expenses are expired, meaning they
have no useful value left.
The result of matching the revenues and expenses
yields the Net Income or Net Earnings.
P 19
20. What an Income Statement does not say

the future is full of uncertainty, historical Income
Statement can't be relied on the reported results of any
single period for an indication of future results.
Does not provide an exact measurement of net income
for the accounting period.
An Income Statement does not report True Profit, which
is the difference between total funds invested over the
life of the company and funds realized from the sale of
the company.
Net Income does not mean cash! Always keep in mind
that net income is the excess revenue over related
expenses. (Accrual)

22. What a Cash Flow says
Cash flow is the movement of money
A positive cash flow is the ideal outcome; this means
positive cash flow is king; but not always.
Cash flow is unlike Profit & Loss Statement; it records
transactions only when it happens actually.
P 22
23. What a Cash Flow does not say
cash flow statement does not reveal a profit or a loss
Just because your business has a positive cash flow, it
didn't necessarily generate more income from operating
activities
Without digging into the reasons straight forward

29. Ratio Analysis
Ratios recognise the symbiotic relationships of various
items of the Financial Statements.
Ratios also allow for better comparison through time or
between companies
Ratios analysis is just a suggestive factor and not a
conclusive evidence
Effective financial analysis begins with analyzing the
industries to which the firm belongs and the firm’s
strategies to create a sustainable advantage
P 29
30. Liquidity position
Current Ratio = CA / CL
company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities
Standard = 2
Less than 1 is alarming
Higher current ratio is not necessarily mean better liquidity
‡ Quick Ratio = (CA – Inventory) / CL
The higher the current or quick ratios are, the more
comfortable a company should be taking on new debt to
finance expansion or new development efforts. Decide
whether to proceed with debt-based financing of a new
project, or to work harder to create more revenue first.
Increase revenue by either repositioning your
products, increasing their exposure or adding features.
P 30
•
31. Liquidity position
Cash Ratio = Cash / CL
Most stringent and conservative
Often seen as poor asset utilization for a company to hold
large amounts of cash
NWC to Total Assets = NWC / TA
Cash management and the management of operating
liquidity is important for the survival of the business firm. A
firm can make a profit, but if they have a problem with their
cash position, they won't survive.
P 31
32. Liquidity position
‡ Defensive Interval = CA / Average daily operating
costs
It is not a replacement to the other ratios, but a complement
The defensive interval, determines how long a company
would be able draw on quick assets to meet its day to day
expenses
Ideally should be between 30 and 90 days
P 32
33. Profitability
Operating Profit Margin = Operating Income / Sales
Return achieved from standard operations and does not
include unique or one time transactions
Also called return on sales margin
Shows the efficiency of a company in controlling the costs
and expenses associated with business operations
Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales
Indicator of how efficient a company is and how well it
controls its costs. The higher the margin is, the more
effective the company is in converting revenue into actual
profit.
P 33
34. Profitability
Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total Assets
Create a plan to increase overall income if these ratios are
too low, as this shows that you are not achieving enough
return on your assets or your investors' money.
Incentivize your team to increase sales by increasing
commission percentages or adding other rewards.
‡ Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income / Avg. Equity
The return on equity figure takes into account the retained
earnings from previous years, and tells investors how
effectively their capital is being reinvested. Thus, it serves as
a far better gauge of management's fiscal adeptness than
the annual earnings per share.
P 34
35. Solvency & Security of the loans
Total Debt Ratio = (TA – TE) / TA
indicates what proportion of debt a company has relative to
its assets. The measure gives an idea to the leverage of the
company along with the potential risks the company faces in
terms of its debt-load.
Long-term debt ratio = LTD / (LTD + TE)
The greater a company's leverage, the higher the ratio.
Generally, companies with higher ratios are thought to be
more risky because they have more liabilities and
less equity.
Times Interest Earned = EBIT/ Net Interest Expense
also known as interest coverage ratio, indicates how well a
company can cover its interest payments on a pre-tax basis
P 35
36. Solvency & Security of the loans
Debt Service Coverage Ratio = NOP/ Total Debt Service
Measures the company's ability to pay their debts
Increase or decrease of the DSCR over time a company can
determine if they are building liquidity or losing
Debt/Equity = TD / TE
Indication of the gearing level of a company; A high ratio
means that a company may be over-leveraged with debt
Equity Multiplier = Avg. TA/ Avg. Stockholders' Equity
If the equity multiplier ratio contains a high amount of debt or
leverage then this means the firm may be reaching distress
costs. High levels might also mean that the company has an
inability to gain further financing to push into new markets.
P 36
37. Financial Stability
Free Cash Flow = CF(Op) – Cap Exp.
It measures a company’s ability to generate internal
growth and to return profits to shareholders.
Working Capital to Total Assets = NWC/ TA
An increasing Working Capital to Total Assets ratio is
usually a positive sign, showing the company's liquidity
is improving over time.
Book Value per share of common stock = TNW-PC/No. of
Shares
How much shares are worth on the books after all
debt is paid off.
P 37
38. Management Efficiency
Debtors Turnover = Average Debtors/ Turnover
Efficient business operation or tight credit policies
Creditors Turnover = Average Creditors/ Credit Purchase
How a company manages paying its own bills. A
higher ratio is generally more favourable as payables
are being paid more easily
Stock Turnover = Average Stock/ Turnover
how many times the entire inventory of a company
has been sold during an accounting period
P 38
39. Management Efficiency
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = Turnover/ Avg. FA
Measures how well a company is using its fixed assets to
generate revenues. The higher
the fixed asset turnover ratio, the more effective the company's
investments in fixed assets
Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Turnover/ Avg. WC
how effectively a company is using its working capital to
generate sales.
Total Assets Turnover Ratio = Turnover/ Avg. Total Asset
The lower the total asset turnover ratio as compared to
historical data for the firm and industry data, the more sluggish
the firm's sales. This may indicate a problem with one or more
of the asset categories

costs; differentiate where appropriate.

44. Cost Benefit Analysis
A cost benefit analysis finds, quantifies, and adds all the
positive factors. These are the benefits. Then it
identifies, quantifies, and subtracts all the negatives, the
costs. The difference between the two indicates whether
the planned action is advisable.

energy spent, etc.) incurred in the past as a result of a
decision made long ago. It's now impossible to recover these
retrospective costs.
