Question no 2″

Liquidity of the Company

We have analyzed two important liquidity ratios: Current Ration, and Working Capital. A current ratio of 2 is considered “adequate liquidity”. The company has Current Ratio numbers for 2006 and 2005 1.2 and 1.1 which shows that the company has at least good funds to discharge the short term obligations and also there is an increase in the ratio which is also good in the future.

Interest coverage ratios shows that how much times the profit covers the interest which is a financial liability .the company’s interest ratio is 20 for 2006 and 12 for 2005 which shows that the company is financially stable.

Profitability ratio

ROE is viewed as one of the most important financial ratios. It measures a firm’s efficiency at generating profits from every dollar of net assets. The RoE of the company is 0.8 and 0.6 for 2006 and 2005 respectively. The numbers shows that the company is not so much good in generation revenues and is not increasing the share holders wealth. High ROE yields no immediate benefit. Since stock prices are most strongly determined by earnings per share (EPS). The benefit comes from the earnings reinvested in the company at a high ROE rate, which in turn gives the company a high growth rate.

Efficiency ratios:

Inventory turnover ratio shows that how the company is managing its stock the numbers for the company is 31 nad 19 for 2006 and 2005 respectively. By analyzing the company’s inv. Turnover ratio we have analyzed that the company is not managing its inventory in 2006 that of 2005.

Debtors turnover ratio tell about the company’s management that how the receivables are collected and the company has good debtors ratio which is a proof of the managements efficiency.

The asset turn over ratio gives an idea about how well the company is using its assets in generating revenues. The numbers for the company are 1.6 and 1.1 for the year 2006 and 2005 respectively, which shows that the company is well doing in using its assets and also there is an increase in the ratio which tells about the growth of the company.

Earning per share:

Earning per share is the share holder specific ratio which tells that how much the company is creating wealth for its share holders the company’s EPS is 12.8p and 9.3p for the year 2006 and 2005 which shows that the company is adding wealth to its share holders and is growing year to year.
