INTRODUCTION
When we observed the financial statement comprising the balance sheet and profit or loss account is that they do not give all the information related to financial operations of firm, they can provide some extremely useful information to the extent that the balance sheet shows the financial position on a particular date in terms of structure of assets, liabilities and owners equity and profit or loss account shows the results of operation during the year. Thus the financial statements will provide a summarized view of the firm. Therefore in order to learn about the firm the careful examination of a valuable reports and statements through financial analysis or ratio is required.

Meaning and definition Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strength and weaknesses of firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of balance sheet and profit and loss account. In other words, financial analysis is the process of evaluating the relationship between components of financial statements to get better understanding of firms position and performance.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS: ADVANTAGES:

Simplifies Financial Statements: Ratio Analysis simplifies the comprehension of financial statements. Ratios tell the story of changes in financial condition of the business.

Facilitates Inter firm Comparison: Ratio analysis provides data for inter company comparison. Ratio highlights the association with successful and unsuccessful firms. They also reveal strong and weak companies, overvalued and undervalued companies.

Makes Intra Firm Comparison Possible: Ratio analysis also makes possible comparison of the performance of different division of the company. The ratio helpful in deciding about their efficiency.

Helps In Planning: Ratio Analysis helps in planning and forecasting over period of time a company develops certain norms that may indicates future success/ failure. If relationship changes in firms data over different time periods. The ratio may provide clues on trends and future problems.

12 Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

Liquidity Position: With the help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding liquidity position of the company. The liquidity position of a company could be satisfactory if it is able to meet its current obligations when they become due.

Long Term Solvency: Ratio analysis equally useful for assessing the longterm financial viability of a firm. The long-term solvency is measured by the

leverage / capital structure and profitability ratios, which focus on earning power and operating efficiency.

DISADVANTAGES: If companies ignore the impact of inflation or price level changes in the financial statements or if financial statements are based on historical costs. Then it becomes limitation of ratio analysis. Another problem is it depends on quality of financial statements. For example: if there is no transparency / disclosure of real things in the statements it becomes problem to analyst. But now days it doesnt hold well. Because, every company has to disclose its information according to accounting standards, in the annual reports.

CONCLUSION: The ratio is an aid to management in making decisions. The ratio if discriminately and wisely interpreted be useful tool of financial analysis.

TURNOVER / ACTIVITY RATIOS OF THE COMPANY Introduction:

45 Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

A Study Of Financial Performance Based On Ratios At TELCON Dharwad Activity ratios are employed to evaluate the efficiently with which the firm manages and utilizes its assets. These ratios are also called as turnover ratio. Therefore they indicate the speed with which assets are being converted / turned over in to sales. Thus an activity ratio involves relationship between sales and assets. A proper balance between sales and assets generally reflects that assets are managed well. In other words, turnover ratio indicates the efficiency with which the capital employed is rotated in the business. Higher the ratio of rotation, the greater will be the profitability DIFFERENT TURNOVER RATIOS:

LIQUIDITY RATIO Liquidity ratios may be defined as financial ratio, which thorough tight on short term slovenly of firm. Liquidity Ratio measures the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations. Liquidity ratio needs establishing a relationship between cash and other current assets to current obligations to provide quick measures of liquidity. A firm should ensure that it doesnt suffer from lack of liquidity and also that it does not have excess liquidity. Failure of a company to meet its obligations due to lack of sufficient liquidity, will result in a poor creditworthiness, loss of creditors confidence. Liquidity is perquisite for the survival of firm. The short-term creditors of firm are interested in short-term solvency / liquidity of firm. But liquidity implies from the viewpoint utilization of funds of the firm, that funds are idle or they even very little. So liquidity ratio measure ability of a firm to meet its short- term obligations and reflect short- term financial strength / solvency of firm.

1) CURRENT RATIO: This ratio is an indicator of firms commitment to meet its short- term liabilities. Higher ratio, better the coverage, 2:1 ratio is treat as standard ratio. This ratio is also called as solvency / working capital ratio. The current ratio is the ratio of the current assets and current liabilities. It is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. Current Ratio= Current assets Current liabilities The current ratio is a measure of short- term solvency of the company. It indicates the rupee of current assets available for each rupee of current liability. The higher the current ratio the larger the amount of rupees available per rupee of current liability and the greater the safety of the short- term creditors. This margin of safety to the creditors is essential due to the unevenness of the flow of funds through current assets and current account. The current liabilities can be settled by making the payment whereas the current assets available to liquidate them are subject to shrinkage of various reasons like

61 Belgaum Institute of Management Studies (MBA)

A Study Of Financial Performance Based On Ratios At TELCON Dharwad obsolescence of inventory, bad debts, and unexpected losses and so on. Thus current ratio represents the short- term liquidity Buffer.

2) QUICK / ACID TEST / LIQUID RATIO: Liquid ratio is indication of availability of quick assets to honor its immediate claims. Higher the ratio betters the coverage. And the standard ratio is 1:1. An asset is liquid if is can be converted into cash immediately without loss of value. Hence cash is most liquid assets after assets which are considered to be relatively liquid are; Debtors balance, marketable securities etc. inventories considered to be less liquid therefore they require some time form relishing into cash and their value also has tendency to fluctuate. The ratio is calculated as follows: = Quick Assets ________________________ Current Liabilities QUICK RATIO: YEAR 2003-04 2004-05 166.74 246.73 0.675 2005-06 313.35 375.93 0.8335

So the ratio is improved compare to last year. Here creditors are getting their payment slowly. The ratio is decreases from 0.806 in 2003-04 to 0.675 in 2004-05 but in the year 2005-06 it increases to 0.8335. It shows that there is improvement in the ratio in 2005-06.

3) CASH / ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO: It calculated as follows: = Cash + Bank Balance _____________________ Current Liabilities Here, trade investment; marketable securities are equivalent of cash. And therefore they may be included in the computation of cash ratio. The standard rate for this ratio 0.5:1. This ratio also indicates liquidity position and company and firms commitment to meet its short -term liabilities.
CASH RATIO:
