Financial Statements
Financial statements are a collection of documents describing the financial state of a business. They may be internal (prepared and used within the business) or external (prepared and used outside the business). External statements are usually prepared by external accountants or auditors. They consist of an Auditor’s Report, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement or other reconciling statement and Notes to the Financial Statements. The Auditor’s Report (or Accountant’s Report) is often titled Notice to Reader. It states whether the statements are based on an audit (highest level), review or compilation (lowest level) engagement. It also states the extent to which the reader should rely on the information. If audited, the report should state that the auditor believes the statements fairly represent the company. Auditor’s Reports not signed by the auditor are likely only draft copies. The Income Statement is sometimes referred to as the ro!it and "oss Statement. It lists the revenues in terms of sales and other revenues. It lists the cost o! goods sold, providing the gross margin (sales less costs of goods sold). It also lists and adds the selling and administration expenses.

2

The difference between the gross margin and selling and administration expenses is called pro!its !rom operations. Deduced from the pro!its !rom operations are prior period ad#ustments and unusual items (usually profits or loss from sale of fixed assets) to arrive at the !IT (net $e!ore interest ant taxes). Interest is then deducted to yield the net before taxes. "inally, taxes are deducted to determine the net income. The Balance Sheet lists the assets, lia$ilities and e%uit& (ownership) of the business. The assets are listed on the left, in order of li#uidity. The assets are broken into short term assets (also referred to as current assets) and long term assets. The short term assets are generally used within a year and consist of cash, mar'eta$le securities, accounts receiva$le, inventory and prepaid expenses. The long term assets consist of vehicles, plant and e%uipment, land and intangi$le assets (goodwill, patents, capitali(ed research and development and capitali(ed startup costs). The right side of the Balance Sheet lists lia$ilities (also referred to as de$t) and owner’s e%uit& (also referred to as net worth or shareholders e%uit&). Current lia$ilities consist of accounts pa&a$le and the current portion o! long term de$t. The shareholders e%uit& is broken into proceeds from

3

the sale of shares (or paid in capital) and retained earnings (sum of previous net incomes less cash dividends) The total of all assets on the left hand side e#uals the total of all lia$ilities and owner’s e%uit& on the right hand side. The Cash Flow Statement, Sources and )ses o! Funds or Changes in *or'ing Capital Statement is a reconciling statement. It reconciles the changes in cash or wor'ing capital (current assets less current lia$ilities) to the changes in Balance Sheet and Income Statement items. The Cash Flow Statement is broken into cash !low !rom operations, cash !low !rom !inancing and cash !low !rom investments. Notes to the Financial Statement, or are notes which provide information to the reader. It includes changes in accounting policy, a breakdown of plant and e#uipment and depreciation, details on non$arms length transactions, pending law suits, and significant events or transactions which occurred during the audit. Comparative !inancial statements include a side by side comparison of the income statement and balance sheet to those of prior years.

4

Internal !inancial statements usually consist of an Income Statement, Balance Sheet and +anager’s Comments. The Income Statement usually compares the results to budget and reports the variances to the budgeted amount. The +anager’s Report comments on the operating changes to the $udget and its effects on the variances.

Financial Statement Analysis Side-by-Side Analysis This is usually the first step in financial statement analysis. It is also the only step taken by many recipients of financial statements. In this method, the reader simply eyeballs the financial statements. %sing this method, the reader does not have to do any calculations. During this approach, the reader can see whether there are any material changes to financial statements figures, whether the business has earned a profit and whether the profits have improved over the previous period. The side,$&,side anal&sis is also referred to as hori(ontal anal&sis or comparative anal&sis. Notes to Financial Statements The second step to financial statement analysis is reading the notes. They do not re#uire any calculations and enable the reader to see whether

6

ad&ustments should be made if and when calculations are made. The notes to the financial statement provide a breakdown of some figures, explain the method of accounting used in determining the reported figures and provide other important items of information to the readers. They are important in the analysis of a business. They should be examined before doing any other analysis to determine whether there is any information that suggests a change of business or ad&ustments that may be needed to current figures to forecast future results or ratios. The notes may contain a breakdown of the control, ownership and accounting for investments in other companies. 'artial ownerships, which are not consolidated, may indicate profits from these partially owned companies that are not reported in the income statement. If profits continue, they should show in future periods as dividend income or gain on disposal of investments. (hen doing calculations, any unreported current year)s profits from the investments should be included in profits and the accumulated non$reported profits should be included in the investment and owner)s e#uity. Inventories using "IF- (last$in$first$out) accounting indicate that the inventories are valued based on old values, whereas those using FIF-

7

(first$in$first$out) indicate the inventories are valued at the most recent prices. If the company holds inventories which decrease in value over time, such as computers and other electronics, the use of "IF- indicates that the inventories and income may be overstated. * note on prices being ad&usted to the lower of actual and replacement costs will decrease concerns about obsolete and overpriced inventories. otes may indicate that the propert&, plant and e%uipment values may not reflect the costs of replacing them. There may also be a note on impairment to !ixed assets which would indicate that the assets are overstated. +verstated depreciation rates will indicate that the depreciated value of the fixed assets and the income are understated. The breakdown of intangi$le assets will disclose how the value was determined and how they are being amorti,ed. It will also disclose whether current expenditures on research and development are capitali,ed or expensed. The amount of intangible assets compared to their amorti,ation rates and the profits derived from them should be compared to similar companies to determine whether they are overvalued. ension $ene!its may indicate obligations which have not been accounted for. %nderstated

8

obligations indicate that the net worth and income is overvalued. It may also indicate unreasonably high pensions being paid to executives. +ther contingencies may indicate outstanding claims and whether a contingency has been provided for such. *d&ustments may be needed to provide contingencies for the extent and risk of these claims. This area may show claims which have depressed the current price of the shares. Depending on the extent of the effect on the share price, the perceived risk of the contingency and the risk attitude of the investor, this may present either a high$risk high$reward investment opportunity or an investment to avoid. If shown in the notes on income taxes, losses carried !orward indicate the extent to which future profits are not taxable. This creates a higher after$ tax return until the losses carried forward have been used up. The extent of anticipated future profits will determine the value of the losses carried !orward. Stoc' options may cause a concern about dilution if there are significant options outstanding and-or the striking price is significantly below the current value of the business. * large amount of stock options may present an incentive to overstate income in an attempt to raise stock prices through aggressive accounting. If stock options were re$

9

issued at a lower striking price after a drop in prices, the insiders may be unreasonably benefiting from stock, or stock market volatility. .oncentration of business, or accounts receivable, with a few customers, or a large portion with one customer, may be a concern about the effect that the risk or loss of that key customer may create to future income. In the Related art& .ransactions, a determination should be made as to whether they are being made for the benefit of the owners or the company. If they indicate unusual benefits to the owners such as low interest loans, there should be concern about whether the owners are more intent on their personal gains than those of the business. Su$se%uent Events will state significant events which happened since the date of the financial statements. These events may indicate that future results may be significantly different than prior results. Changes in Accounting olic& may indicate that ad&ustments are needed when comparing previous results. .ontinuous changes to accounting policies may indicate the company is changing accounting policies to create a more positive income statement.

rior eriod Ad#ustments should be read as to what caused a change in previously reported figures. .onsecutive years of reporting prior period ad#ustments raises concerns about the accounting and the auditor)s ability to find and make the corrections in the correct period. Quantity of Changes in Financial Statement Figures This method determines the dollar value of any changes in figures. The extent of the changes is determined by subtracting the previous period figures from the period figures. (ie/ if the figures for the years 0112, 0110 and 0113 are 45,611, 46,211 and 46,311, the changes would be 4711 846,211 $ 45,6119 for 0110 and 4011 846,311 $ 46,2119 for 0113). This shows the dollar amount of changes from one period to the next. Percent Changes in Financial Statement Figures This method calculates the change as a percent, instead of a dollar figure.

11

To determine the percent change, the dollar change is divided by the previous figure (ie/ as in the example above, the 4711 change would be divided by 45,611, yielding a 23.3: change). This method enables the reader to see which figures are changing #uicker than others. Real Dollar Comparisons This method removes the extent of inflation from the figures so the reader can see the figures in real (current) dollar terms. "igures from previous periods are increased by the rate of inflation over that period. Real Dollar Changes +nce real dollar figures are determined for the previous periods, the reader can calculate real dollar changes. These are changes above, or below, the rate of inflation. These figures are calculated by subtracting the previous inflated figures from the next period (ie/ inflated 0112 figures from inflated 0110 figures or inflated prior period figures from non$inflated current period figures).

12

Real Dollar Percent Changes This techni#ue shows the real changes in terms of percent instead of dollars. To calculate these figures, divide the real dollar change by the inflated figure for the previous period. ote that consecutive years of real dollar losses in sales or income (profits) is a concern as it shows that the business is growing at a slower rate than inflation. If such is the case, the company may be heading for financial troubles. It also indicates that the slow growth in the business should, at best, be treated as an annuity. The amount of net tangible assets per share should be compared to its current share price to determine the extent of the risk should the business collapse. Common Si ed Ratios Common si(ed ratios are ratios based on a percent of sales for income statement items and a percent of total assets for balance sheet items. These enable a side by side comparison of different si,ed companies. They are usually used for side by side comparisons of period to period results. They are an easy way to compare results.

13

Common si(ed income statement ratios show the efficiencies and cost overruns. ;ometimes this method is referred to as vertical anal&sis or cross,sectional anal&sis. Changes in Common Si ed Ratios The changes in common si(ed ratios show whether the efficiency of the business, as measured as a percent of sales, is improving. It also shows how the asset mix, as a percent of total assets, is changing. To calculate these changes, subtract the previous period common si(ed ratio form the current period. Percent Changes in Common Si ed Ratios This calculation shows the degree, as a percent change, in the common si(ed ratios. These percent changes are determined by dividing the change in a common si(ed ratio by the common si,ed ratio for the previous period (ie/ if the common si,ed ratios were 3.6: and 5.0:, the change in common si(ed ratio would be 1.<: and

14

the percent change in the common si(ed ratio would be 01: 81.<: divided by 3.6:9). Dollar per Share This techni#ue enables the reader to view the financial statements as if they were allocated to each share, or to 2,111 shares. This is a useful techni#ue to use when the number of outstanding shares has changed. It enables the reader to view the figures relative to their investment in shares. This approach involves dividing the financial statement figures by the number of shares outstanding (or to the thousands of shares outstanding). Change in Dollar per Share +nce the dollar per share calculation is done, the changes from period to period can be calculated by subtracting the previous dollar per share, for any individual item, figure from the current one.

15

Percent Change in Dollar per Share This approach calculates the extent of the changes in dollar per share figures in terms of percent. This calculation is mage by dividing the change in dollar per share by the previous period dollar per share figure. Common Dollar !nvestment This is a techni#ue that enables the reader to compare various investments in a common term, money invested. In this approach, the financial statement figures are divided by the mar'et capitali(ation (number of shares outstanding x the market price per share) or suggested selling price for the business. If comparing different periods for the same company, using their market prices at the end of each period will compare similar investments in the company at different points in time. ;ince the figures are small, it is usually better to calculate the figures per 42,111 investment instead of per dollar.

16

Change in Common Dollar !nvestment This approach enables the reader to determine the changes of investing at this period than at a previous point in time. This involves subtracting the common dollar (or 42,111) investment figures from the previous period to those of the current period. Percent Change in Common Dollar !nvestment Figures This expresses the change in common dollar investment as a percent. It is accomplished by dividing the change in common dollar investment by the previous period common dollar investment figure. Comparisons to N"!# .omparing costs to NBI. (Net $e!ore Income and .axes) determines the effect that improvements in cost categories will have on !IT. ;ome costs may have a numeric value that exceeds that on the !IT. These costs create a greater

17

percent gain in !IT than their percentage decrease. *n example is a cost which has a numeric value 01: greater than !IT. * 2: decrease in that cost would produce a 2.0: improvement in !IT. This method enables management to determine where to concentrate to achieve improvements and the effects that their percentage improvement will have on the !IT. Ratio Analysis This is the method of analysis used by most people who do any more than a cursory analysis of the financial statements. =atio analysis enables the user to compare numbers from different categories. It also enables the reader to compare differing si,ed businesses. >ost of our ratios are derived by comparing Balance Sheet and Income Statement figures. ?ater in this book we provide over 011 ratios. These are divided into "i%uidit& Ratios, "everage Ratios, E!!icienc& Ratios, ro!ita$ilit& Ratios, .urnover Ratios, Cash Flow Ratios, Sales Ratios, Investment Ratios, "a$or Ratios, Costs per

18

Emplo&ee Ratios, /iscretionar& Cost Ratios, roductivit& and 0nowledge Ratios and -ther Accounting Ratios. $ptimal Performance The optimal per!ormance is a calculation of what the business could perform based on the best results of previous years. The optimal result is the highest sales figure, the lowest common si,ed ratios times this sales figure for variable costs, and the lowest cost for fixed costs. Side-by-Side Comparisons to $ptimal +nce the optimal per!ormance is calculated, it can be placed beside actual results for a side,$&,side comparison. Actual sales are compared to optimal sales (highest sales of previous years). 1aria$le costs are compared to actual sales multiplied by optimal common si(ed ratios. *ctual gross margin (sales less varia$le costs) is separated into sales volume (8actual sales x optimal common si(ed ratios9 @ 8optimal sales x optimal common si(ed ratios9).

19

Fixed costs are compared to optimal costs (optimal sales x optimal common si(ed ratio for that item). Dollar Comparisons to $ptimal This calculates the extent to which line items and total profits could have been improved had the business performed at their optimal. It shows the extent of business losses due to su$,optimal per!ormance. This method is a variance anal&sis by comparing actual results to the optimal. E!!icienc& variances are calculated by subtracting !lexed optimal varia$le costs (optimal common si(ed ratio for variable cost item x actual sales) from actual varia$le costs. Sales volume variance is calculated by subtracting the optimal gross margin (optimal sales x optimal common si(ed ratios) from the optimal !lexed gross margin (actual sales x optimal common si(ed ratios). -ptimal !ixed costs are subtracted from actual !ixed costs. ote that all variances will be negative numbers, also referred to as un!avora$le variances.

20

Percent Comparisons to $ptimal This calculation shows the extent, in terms of percent improvement, that the business needs for various line items to bring them to their optimal. These calculations are made by dividing the variances by the actual results. The sales volume variance will be divided by the optimal !lexed gross margin. Real Dollar $ptimal Analysis This is an offshoot of optimal anal&sis, using inflated figures. This is the same as the optimal anal&sis, except real dollar !igures (income statement figures inflated by the inflation rate) are used to calculate the optimal performance. (hile the common si(ed ratios will remain the same, this method forces the optimal !igures to account for price variances due to inflation. %ariance Analysis 1ariance anal&sis is used internally by comparing actual income statement results to budget. The

21

resulting variances are either !avora$le (better than budgeted) or un!avora$le (worse than budgeted). The budget results used may be actual $udget, or a !lexed $udget, where the budget is ad&usted to reflect what the budget would have been for the actual amount produced. The difference between the actual and flexed budget is referred to as the production variance or !lexed $udget variance. The difference between the actual budget and original budget is called the activit& variance. ;ome variances are broken into factors which contribute to the changes. In a !lexed $udget, cost o! sales may be broken into price variance ((actual price @ standard or budgeted price) x actual usage) and %ualit& variance ((actual usage @ budgeted usage) x budgeted price). 2ualit& variances may be broken into mix variance ((budgeted mix @ actual mix) x actual #uantity) and &ield variances (budgeted #uantity of individual input item @ actual #uantity of input item) x budgeted cost). "a$or variances may be broken into la$or rate variance ((actual rate @ budgeted rate) x actual usage) and la$or e!!icienc& variance or la$or use variance ((actual hours @ budgeted hours) x budgeted rate).

22

"usiness %aluation The value o! a pu$lic compan& can be determined by multiplying the number of outstanding common shares by the price per share. The value o! a private compan& is based upon the greater of the value as a going concern or the disposal value. The disposal value can be determined based on the balance sheet items. *ll lia$ilities are based on actual prices. Assets are based on their recovery after disposal costs. Typical asset recoveries are 211: for cash, A<: for mar'eta$le securities, B1: for accounts receiva$le and 61: for inventor&. Fixed assets need to be appraised. .osts for canceling contracts and leases reduce the disposal value. The ongoing $usiness value is based on the business continuing operations. *ll non$arms length transactions are converted to arms$length prices. .alculations are made regarding changes to bring ratios to normal with ad&ustments to the price made for excess cash or insufficient cash. Interest rates are ad&usted to current levels.

23

The resulting ad&usted income statement is ad&usted by a multiplier, which is usually between 3 to 5 times. The price is reduced by the amount of excess cash and increased by the amount of additional investment re#uired. The multiplier is a factor of performance measures such as growth in sale, growth in profits, years of sales growth and years of profit growth. +ther ad&ustments are made for market considerations such as number of interested purchasers and industry expectations.

&i'uidity Ratios
The li%uidit& ratios are the basic bank financial ratios. "i%uidit& ratios are the financial statement ratios which measure the ability of a business to meet its short term financial obligations on time and, as such, are usually used by potential creditors. "i%uidit& ratios are also referred to as solvenc& ratios. Cash Ratio Cash Ratio ( cash ) current liabilities* The cash ratio (cash to current liabilities ratio) measures the immediate amount of cash available to satisfy short term debt. * ratio of 1.6/2 or greater is preferred. Acid #est Ratio Acid #est Ratio ( +cash , mar-etable securities. ) current liabilities

26

The acid test ratio measures the immediate amount of cash immediately available to satisfy short term debt. *n acid test ratio of 1.<6/2 or greater is preferred. Quic- Ratio Quic- ratio ( +cash , mar-etable securities , accounts receivable. ) current liabilities* The %uic' ratio is used to evaluate li#uidity. Cigher %uic' ratios are needed when a company has difficulty borrowing on short term notice * %uic' ratio of over 2/2 indicates that if the sales revenue disappeared, the business could meet its current obligations with the readily available D#uickD funds on hand. * %uic' ratio of 2/2 is considered satisfactory unless the ma&ority of D#uick assetsD are in accounts receivable and the company has a pattern of collecting accounts receivable slower than paying accounts payable. The %uic' ratio is one of 25 key business ratios used by Dun and !radstreet.

27

Current Ratio Current Ratio ( current assets ) current liabilities* The current ratio is used to evaluate the li#uidity, or ability to meet short term debts. Cigh current ratios are needed for companies that have difficulty borrowing on short term notice. The generally acceptable current ratio is 0/2 The minimum acceptable current ratio is 2/2 The current ratio is one of 25 key business ratios used by Dun and !radstreet. The current ratio is also known as the real ratio or wor'ing capital ratio. Accounts Receivable to Accounts Payable Ratio Accounts Receivable to Accounts Payable ( accounts receivable ) accounts payable The accounts receiva$le to accounts pa&a$le ratio is also called the receiva$les to pa&a$les ratio.

28

This ratio shows the extent to which payables can be paid through collection of receivables. * ratio of 2/2 or greater shows that the business has more money owing to it than it owes to others. * ratio above 2.06/2 indicates that all payables can be paid by factoring receivables. %nless the business is a cash business, or the receivables have not been paid through recent cash increases from collections, a ratio below 2/2 is a concern as the business owes more to others than what is owed to them. Cash Debt Coverage Ratio Cash Debt Coverage ( +cash flo/ from operations - dividends. ) total debt* The cash de$t coverage ratio shows the percent of debt that current cash flow can retire. * cash de$t coverage ratio of 2/2 (211:) or greater shows that the company can repay all debt within one year.

29

Current &iabilities to !nventory Current &iabilities to !nventory ( current liabilities ) inventory The current lia$ilities to inventor& ratio is used by Dun and !radstreet. This ratio indicates the extent to which business relies on the sale of its inventory to pay its debt. * ratio above 2/2 is a concern. Current &iabilities to Net 0orth Current &iabilities to Net 0orth ( current liabilities ) shareholder e'uity The current lia$ilities to net worth ratio is one of the 25 ratios used by Dun and !radstreet to determine credit risk. The larger the ratio, the greater the risk for creditors. * ratio of more than 1.7</2 is a concern for lenders.

30

Current &iabilities to #otal &iabilities Current &iabilities to #otal &iabilities ( current liabilities ) +current liabilities , long term debt. The current lia$ilities to total lia$ilities ratio is also called the short,term de$t ratio or %ualit& o! de$t ratio. This ratio shows the extent to which debt is payable in the current year. * low ratio indicates less concern for ability to pay debts during the current year. Fi1ed Assets to Net 0orth Fi1ed Assets to Net 0orth ( fi1ed assets ) shareholders e'uity The !ixed assets to net worth ratio is used by Dun and !radstreet. Eenerally, a low ratio is favored. * high ratio may be a concern as it indicates a low wor'ing capital to net worth ratio.

31

* ratio above 1.<6/2 indicates possible over$ investment in fixed assets. &i'uidity !nde1 &i'uidity !nde1 ( ++accounts receivable 1 collection period. , +inventory 1 cycle period.. ) +cash , accounts receivable , inventory.* The li%uidit& index indicates the number of days during which assets are removed from cash. * low li%uidit& index indicates that the business can turn money over more times yielding higher sales. * high or increasing ratio may indicate problems converting inventory purchases into cash receipts from sales. &ong #erm Debt to Shareholders 2'uity &ong #erm Debt to Shareholders 2'uity ( long term debt ) shareholders e'uity* This ratio indicates the extent to which the business is financed through long term debt.

32

* ratio of greater than 2/2 indicates that the business is heavily levered and may not be able to attain further financing through debt. * ratio of less than 2/2 indicates that the business may be able to attain further funding through debt, which is usually #uicker to attain than e#uity financing. Net 0orth to #otal Debt Net 0orth to #otal Debt ( net /orth ) +current liabilities , long term debt. The net worth to total de$t ratio is also referred to as net worth to total lia$ilities or solvenc& ratio. This ratio compares what is owned by the investors to what is owed to creditors. * ratio of 2/2 or greater is preferred by lenders as it indicates that more of the business is owned by the investors than the amount owed to creditors. #otal Assets to #otal Debt #otal Assets to #otal Debt ( total assets ) +current liabilities , long term debt.

33

This ratio compares the amount of the assets of the business to what it owes. * ratio of 0/2 or greater is preferred as it indicates that less than half of assets are encumbered with debt. * ratio of greater than 0/2 indicates that more of the business is owned by investors than creditors. #otal &iabilities to Net 0orth #otal &iabilities to Net 0orth ( total liabilities ) shareholders e'uity The total lia$ilities to net worth ratio is used by Dun and !radstreet. * low or decreasing ratio is preferred by creditors. * ratio above 2/2 is a concern to lenders as creditors would have a larger stake in the business than the shareholders.

34

0or-ing Capital from $perations to #otal &iabilities 0or-ing Capital from $perations to #otal &iabilities ( +operating profit plus depreciation. ) total liabilities This ratio measures the degree by which internally generated working capital is generated to satisfy obligations. This ratio indicates the interest rate charge that the business can weather before while still generating a positive cash flow.

35

&everage Ratios
"everage ratios are the financial statement ratios which show the degree to which the business is leveraging itself through its use of borrowed money. "everage ratios are of direct interest to current and potential lenders and investors, as they wish to know the expected return that the business will achieve from borrowing money. Capital Ac'uisition Ratio Capital Ac'uisition Ratio ( +cash flo/ from operations - dividends. ) cash paid for ac'uisitions and investments in other companies* The capital ac%uisition ratio reflects the companyFs ability finance capital expenditures from internal sources. * ratio of less than 2/2 (211 :) indicates that capital ac#uisitions are draining more cash from the business than it is generating.

36

Capital 2mployment Ratio Capital 2mployment Ratio ( sales ) +o/ners e'uity - non-operating assets.* The capital emplo&ment ratio is also referred to as the capital employed ratio. The capital emplo&ment ratio shows the amount of sales which ownerFs investment in operations generates. * high or increasing ratio is preferred. +ar'eta$le securities are considered non, operating assets. Capital Structure Ratio Capital Structure Ratio ( long term debt ) +shareholders e'uity , long term debt.* The capital structure ratio shows the percent of long term financing represented by long term debt. * capital structure ratio over 61: indicates that a company may be near their borrowing limit (often 76:).

37

Capital to Non-Current Assets Ratio Capital to Non-Current Assets Ratio ( o/ners e'uity ) non-current assets * higher capital to non,current assets ratio indicates that it is easier to meet the businessF debt and creditor commitments. * high ratio may indicate insufficient working capital being used to generate sales. Cash Ratio Cash Ratio ( cash ) current liabilities The cash ratio (cash to current liabilities ratio) measures the immediate amount of cash available to satisfy short term debt. * ratio above 1.<6/2 is preferred. Cash "alance Cash "alance ( +cash 1 345 days. ) +cost of sales 6e1cluding depreciation7.

38

The cash $alance ratio is also referred to as da&s cash $alance* The cash $alance ratio indicates the number of days that a company can pay its debts, as they become due, out of current cash. * low ratio may indicate a high reliance on collecting receivables to pay debts as they become due. ;uch reliance can turn a collection problem #uickly into a credit problem. Debt to 2'uity Ratio Debt to 2'uity Ratio ( +Short #erm Debt , &ong #erm Debt. ) #otal Shareholders 2'uity The de$t to e%uit& ratio is also referred to as de$t ratio, !inancial leverage ratio, gearing ratio or leverage ratio. The de$t to e%uit& 3de$t or !inancial leverage) ratio indicates the extent to which the business relies on debt financing. %pper acceptable limit of the de$t to e%uit& (de$t or !inancial leverage) ratio is usually 0/2, with no more than one$third of debt in long term.

39

Eenerally, lenders prefer a ratio of 2/2 or lower as it indicates that more of the business is owned by the investors than by the debtors. * high !inancial leverage or de$t to e%uit& ratio indicates possible difficulty in paying interest and principal while obtaining more funding. Debt Ratio Debt Ratio ( total liabilities ) total assets The de$t ratio is also known as the de$t to assets ratio. The de$t ratio shows the reliance on debt financing. This ratio indicates the extent to which assets are encumbered by debt. * high de$t ratio is unfavorable because it indicates that the company is already overburdened with debt. * ratio of greater than 1.6/2 or greater indicates that the business is financed more from debt than from shareholders.

40

* ratio near or above 1.6/2 indicates that the business may have problems obtaining further credit or debt financing. Defensive !nterval Period Defensive !nterval Period ( +cash , mar-etable securities , accounts receivable. ) average daily purchases* This ratio indicates how long a business can operate on its li#uid assets without needing further revenues. The de!ensive interval period reveals near$term li#uidity as a basis to meet expenses. 2'uity 8ultiplier 2'uity 8ultiplier ( total assets ) shareholders e'uity* The e%uit& multiplier discloses the amount of investment leverage. * ratio above 0/2 indicates that the business is overleveraged and may have problems obtaining further credit or loans.

41

Financial &everage Ratio Financial &everage Ratio ( total debt ) shareholders e'uity* The !inancial leverage ratio is also referred to as the de$t to e%uit& ratio or gearing ratio. The !inancial leverage ratio indicates the extent to which the business relies on debt financing. %pper acceptable limit of the !inancial leverage ratio is usually 0/2, with no more than one$third of debt in long term. * high financial leverage ratio indicates possible difficulty in paying interest and principal while obtaining more funding. Fi1ed Assets to Short #erm Debt Fi1ed Assets to Short #erm Debt ( fi1ed assets ) +accounts payable , current portion of long term debt.* The !ixed assets to short term de$t ratio can indicate dangerous financial policies due to business vulnerability in a tight money market.

42
