COMPARISON
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Often
it becomes very difficult to compare
financial statements of two or more
business entities due to
i)
Size
ii)
Functional
currency.
However,
we can overcome these
problems by utilizing two effective
tools of comparison. These
tools can
be
used for comparing performance of
single entity over period of
time and to compare two or
more
entities.

LAHORE
DATED
Take
the balance sheet first. Instead of
putting rupee values in
balance sheet, we place %age
against each
line
item with regard to total
asset. The total assets
are taken as 100 and
every line item relationship
with
total
assets expressed in %age is
placed against it. Take a
look at the attached Common Size
balance sheet.
During
2002 total assets were
60.73% of total assets and
that has been increased to
62.87% of total assets
in
2003.
Every line-item on asset
side is expressed as % of total
assets. You are now in a
position to compare
financial
statements over a period of time to
know what developments have
been made over time.

BALANCE
SHEET
In
common size income statement
every line item is expressed as
%age of sales. In other
words, cost of
sales,
operating expenses and net income
add up to 100%. Let look at
the Common Size Income
Statement.
Cost
of Sales in 2002 was 53.94%
of sales, which dropped to
51.47% in 2003. This is a favorable
symptom
because
any reduction in cost will
lead to increase in profit.
This is confirmed when we
look at the gross
profit.
In 2002 GP was 46.06% of
sales and that increased to
48.53% in 2003. The
comparison here
reveals
that
company has improved it
performance over the year
2002.
Base
Year Analysis: Common
Size analysis is also known
as Vertical Analysis. Base
year analysis is another
tool
of comparing performance and is also
known as Horizontal
Analysis.

In this
case, performance is compared over,
say, five years period.
The earliest year or the
first year is taken
as
base year and every
line item in the balance sheet of
base year is taken as 100%.
In the subsequent years
amounts
of every line item are
expressed as %age of base
year amount.
You
can see the Base Year analysis
example from the attached
balance sheet. Comparison is being
made
from
the year 2001 to 2006; therefore, the
earliest year i.e., 2001 is
labeled as base year. Total
fixed assets in
2001
were Rs. 100,000/- expressed
as 100% (cell H9: in blue font). In
year 2005 the total investment
in
fixed
assets has risen to Rs.
155,000/-, which is 155% of base
year amount (Rs. 100,000).
This means that
from
2002 to 2005, 55% investment of base
year amount has been injected in
fixed assets and that
further
increased
to 60% at the end of year
2006.
2) Ratios
Analysis:
This is another
widely acknowledged and used
comparison tool for
financial managers. A ratio is
a
relationship
between two or more line
items expressed in %age or number of
times. Financial ratios
are
useful
indicators of a firm's performance and
financial situation. Most ratios can be
calculated from
information
provided by the financial statements. Financial
ratios can be used to
analyze trends and to
6
Corporate
Finance FIN 622
VU
compare
the firm's financials to those of
other firms. In some cases,
ratio analysis can predict
future
bankruptcy.
Financial
ratios can be classified
according to the information they
provide.

The
following types of ratios
frequently are used:
1. Short Term
Solvency or Working Capital
ratios
2.
Long term solvency
ratios
3.
Asset management turnover
ratios
4.
Profitability ratios
5.
Market value ratios
Short
Term Solvency or Working
Capital ratios:
These
ratios provide information
about a firm's ability to
meet its short-term financial
obligations. They are of
particular
interest to those extending short-term credit to the
firm. Two frequently-used liquidity
ratios are the
current
ratio (or working capital
ratio) and the quick
ratio.
The
current ratio is the ratio of current
assets to current liabilities:
Current Ratio =
Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Keeping
the comparison purpose in our
mind, you can see that in
the attached balance sheet this
ratio improved in
2003
over 2002. Normally, this
ratio is expressed as 0.77:1meaning
that current assets are 77% of current
liabilities in
2002.
This was improved at the end
of year 2003 when our
current assets were more
than liabilities. The ratio
in
2003
is 1.11:1.
Short-term
creditors prefer a high current
ratio since it reduces their
risk. Shareholders may prefer a lower
current
ratio
so that more of the firm's
assets are working to grow the
business. Typical values for the current
ratio vary by
firm
and industry. For example, firms in
cyclical industries may maintain a higher
current ratio in order to
remain
solvent
during downturns. One drawback of the current
ratio is that inventory may
include many items that
are
difficult
to liquidate quickly and
that have uncertain liquidation
values. The quick ratio is
an alternative measure of
liquidity
that does not include
inventory in the current assets. The
quick ratio is defined as
follows:
Quick
Ratio = (Current Assets Inventory)/
Current Liabilities
This
ratio also shows the investment level in
inventories. Excessive investment in inventories is
often considered as
inefficient
use of resources.
The
current assets used in the quick
ratio are cash, accounts
receivable, and notes
receivable. These assets
essentially
are
current assets less inventory.
The quick ratio often is
referred to as the acid test.
Asset
Turnover Ratios:
Asset
turnover ratios indicate of how
efficiently the firm utilizes
its assets. They sometimes
are referred to as
efficiency
ratios, asset utilization
ratios, or asset management
ratios. Two commonly used
asset turnover ratios
are
receivables
turnover and inventory
turnover.
Receivables
turnover is an indication of how
quickly the firm collects
its accounts receivables and
is defined as
follows:
Receivables
Turnover = Annual Credit
Sales / Accounts Receivable
The
receivables turnover often is reported in
terms of the number of days that credit
sales remain in
accounts
receivable before they are collected.
This number is known as the collection
period.
The
collection period also can
be written as:
Average
Collection Period = 365 / Receivables
Turnover
Another
major asset turnover ratio is
inventory turnover. It is the cost of
goods sold in a time
period
divided
by the average inventory level during
that period:
Inventory
Turnover = Cost of Goods
Sold/Inventory
The
variations in formula of inventory
turnover relates to the denominator as
some financial managers
take
closing
inventory value and other
prefer to have average
inventory, which we can work
out by adding
opening
and closing inventories and
dividing by 2.
The
inventory turnover often is reported as
the inventory period, which is the number
of days worth of
inventory
on hand, calculated by dividing the
inventory by the average daily cost of
goods sold:
Inventory
Period = Annual Cost of Goods
Sold / Average
Inventory
The
inventory period also can be
written as:
Inventory
Period = 365/Inventory Turnover

Other
asset turnover ratios include
fixed asset turnover and
total asset turnover.

or Long term solvency
Ratios
Financial
leverage ratios provide an
indication of the long-term solvency of
the firm. Unlike liquidity
ratios
that
are concerned with short-term
assets and liabilities, financial
leverage ratios measure the extent
to
which
the firm is using long term
debt.
The
debt ratio is defined as
total debt divided by total
assets:
Debt
Ratio = Total Debt/Total
Assets
The
debt-to-equity ratio is total
debt divided by total
equity:
Debt-to-Equity
Ratio = Total Debt/Total
Equity
Debt
ratios depend on the classification of
long-term leases and on the
classification of some items as
long-
term
debt or equity. The times
interest earned ratio
indicates how well the
firm's earnings can cover
the
interest
payments on its debt. This
ratio also is known as the
interest coverage and is
calculated as follows:
Interest
Coverage = EBIT/Interest
Charges
Where
EBIT = Earnings before Interest
and Taxes Profitability
Ratios Profitability ratios
offer several
different
measures of the success of the firm at
generating profits.
The
gross profit margin is a
measure of the gross profit
earned on sales. The gross
profit margin
considers
the
firm's cost of goods sold,
but does not include other
costs. It is defined as
follows:
Gross
Profit Margin = Sales - Cost
of Goods Sold/Sales
Return on
assets is a measure of how
effectively the firm's assets
are being used to generate
profits. It is
defined
as:
Return on
Assets = Net Income/Total
Assets
Return on
equity is the bottom line
measure for the shareholders,
measuring the profits earned
for each
dollar
invested in the firm's stock. Return on
equity is defined as follows:
Return on
Equity = Net
Income/Equity
Market
Ratios:
Earning
Per Share:
This
explains the portion of net income
attributable to one common share. It is
calculated as:
EPS =
net income / No. of O/S
shares
P/E
ratio = price per
share/EPS
Market
to Book Value:
= MV
per share/BV per
share
Use
and Limitations of Financial
Ratios
Attention
should be given to the following issues
when using financial
ratios:
A
reference point is needed. To be
meaningful, most ratios must be
compared to historical values of
the
same
firm, the firm's forecasts, or
ratios of similar firms.
Most
ratios by themselves are not
highly meaningful. They should be viewed as
indicators, with several of
them combined to
paint a picture of the firm's
situation.
Year-end
values may not be
representative. Certain account balances
that are used to calculate
ratios may
increase
or decrease at the end of the accounting
period because of seasonal
factors. Such changes
may
distort
the value of the ratio. Average
values should be used when they
are available. Ratios are
subject to
the
limitations of accounting methods.
Different accounting choices
may result in significantly
different
ratio
values.
