classification” (Weston, Besley and Brigham, 1996:78)
Traditional financial ratio analysis has mainly focus on the quantitative relation can be used to
diagnose strength and weakness in a firm’s performance. But the world is becoming more dynamic
and subject to rapid change. It is not enough to analyze operating performance. Financial
analysis also includes consideration of strategic and economic development to which the firm
