INTRODUCTION
MEANING OF FINANCE:In simple words, Arrangement of funds is called finance. All organizations need finance for operating its different activities. So, we can say finance is just like blood for survival the business in changing economic environment. Fund, money, saving, cash, reserves and assets are the basics of finance. Finance word is very deep and in modern age, this word is also known Business Finance. To create equilibrium in business finance, we used different tools like financial analysis, financial planning, ratio analysis, cash flow analysis, fund flow analysis and working capital management analysis.
DEFINITIONS:That business activity which is concerned with the acquision and conservation of capital funds in meeting the financial needs of the business enterprise. -Wheeler Business finance can be broadly defined as the activity concerned with the planning rising,controlling and administering the funds in the business. -Guthmann and Doughall
If we unlock its historical background, we find many facts that finance and financial activities are inter-connected. Main aim of finance to get high margin on loan, in beginning Banks started the transactions of depositing money at very low rate of interest and then banks sell this money to the person who needs money immediately at high rate of interest. Slowly, these banks developed both capital and money markets.

Now,other professional companies and organizations have started finance business. If we take the example of Dubai financial market, it has traded shares more than $380 bn in last year.
INTRODUCTION TO TOPIC MEANING:We know business is mainly concerned with the financial activities. In order to ascertain the financial status of the business every enterprise prepares certain statements, known as financial statements. Financial statements are mainly prepared for decision making purposes. But the information as is provided in the financial statements is not adequately helpful in drawing a meaningful conclusion. Thus, an effective analysis and interpretation of financial statements is required.
i.e. Income statement and position statement. It determines financial strength and weaknesses of the firm. Analysis of financial statements is an attempt to assess the efficiency and performance of an enterprise. Thus, the analysis and interpretation of financial statements is very essential to measure the efficiency, profitability, financial soundness and future prospects of the business units. Financial analysis serves the following purposes :
Page 3
The purpose of financial analysis is to assess the financial strength of the business. Analysis also helps in taking decisions, whether funds required for the purchase of new machines and equipments are provided from internal sources of the business or not if yes, how much? And also to assess how much funds have been received from external sources.
Assess solvency of the firm The different tools of an analysis tell us whether the firm has sufficient funds to meet its short term and long term liabilities or not.
PARTIES INTERESTED
Analysis of financial statements has become very significant due to widespread interest of various parties in the financial results of a business unit. The various parties interested in the analysis of financial statements are :
(i) Investors : Shareholders or proprietors of the business are interested in the well being of the business. They like to know the earning capacity of the business and its prospects of future growth.
(ii) Management : The management is interested in the financial position and performance of the enterprise as a whole and of its various divisions. It helps them in preparing budgets and assessing the performance of various departmental heads.
(iii) Trade unions : They are interested in financial statements for negotiating the wages or salaries or bonus agreement with the management.
Page 4
(iv) Lenders : Lenders to the business like debenture holders, suppliers of loans and lease are interested to know short term as well as long term solvency position of the entity.
(v) Suppliers and trade creditors : The suppliers and other creditors are interested to know about the solvency of the business i.e. the ability of the company to meet the debts as and when they fall due.
(vi) Tax authorities : Tax authorities are interested in financial statements for determining the tax liability.
(vii) Researchers : They are interested in financial statements in undertaking research work in business affairs and practices.
(viii) Employees : They are interested to know the growth of profit. As a result of which they can demand better remuneration and congenial working environment.
(ix) Government and their agencies : Government and their agencies need financial information to regulate the activities of the enterprises/industries and determine taxation policy. They suggest measures to formulate policies and and regulations.
(x) Stock exchange : The stock exchange members take interest in financial statements for the purpose of analysis because they provide useful financial information about companies. Thus, we find that different parties have interest in financial statements for different reasons.

(i) Cross-sectional analysis It is also known as inter firm comparison. This analysis helps in analyzing financial characteristics of an enterprise with financial characteristics of another similar enterprise in that accounting period. For example, if company A has earned 15% profit on capital invested. This does not say whether it is adequate or not. If we analyze further and find that a similar company has earned 16% during the same period, then only we can make a conclusion that company B is better. Thus, it turns into a meaningful analysis.
(ii) Time series analysis It is also called as intra-firm comparison. According to this method, the relationship between different items of financial statement is established, comparisons are made and results obtained. The basis of comparison may be : Comparison of the financial statements of different years of the same business unit. Comparison of financial statement of a particular year of different business units.
Page 6
(iii) Cross-sectional cum time series analysis This analysis is intended to compare the financial characteristics of two or more enterprises for a defined accounting period. It is possible to extend such a comparison over the year. This approach is most effective in analyzing of financial statements. The analysis and interpretation of financial statements is used to determine the financial position. A number of tools or methods or devices are used to study the relationship between financial statements. However, the following are the important tools which are commonly used for analyzing and interpreting financial statements . Comparative financial statements Common size statements Trend analysis Ratio analysis Funds flow analysis Cash flow analysis
Comparative financial statements In brief, comparative study of financial statements is the comparison of the financial statements of the business with the previous years financial statements. It enables identification of weak points and applying corrective measures. Practically, two financial statements (balance sheet and income statement) are prepared in comparative form for analysis purposes.
1. Comparative Balance Sheet The comparative balance sheet shows the different assets and liabilities of the firm on different dates to make comparison of balances from one date to another. The comparative balance sheet has two columns for the data of original balance sheets. A third column is used to show change
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES AND RESEARCH, BANGALORE. Page 7
(increase/decrease) in figures. The fourth column may be added for giving percentages of increase or decrease. While interpreting comparative Balance sheet the interpreter is expected to study the following aspects :
(i) Current financial position and Liquidity position (ii) Long-term financial position (iii) Profitability of the concern
(i) For studying current financial position or liquidity position of a concern one should examine the working capital in both the years. Working capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.
(ii) For studying the long-term financial position of the concern, one should examine the changes in fixed assets, long-term liabilities and capital.
(iii) The next aspect to be studied in a comparative balance sheet is the profitability of the concern. The study of increase or decrease in profit will help the interpreter to observe whether the profitability has improved or not. After studying various assets and liabilities, an opinion should be formed about the financial position of the concern.
Comparative Income statement The income statement provides the results of the operations of a business. This statement traditionally is known as trading and profit and loss A/c. Important components of income statement are net sales, cost of goods sold, selling expenses, office expenses etc. The figures of the above components are matched with their corresponding figures of previous years individually and changes are noted.
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES AND RESEARCH, BANGALORE. Page 8
The comparative income statement gives an idea of the progress of a business over a period of time. The changes in money value and percentage can be determined to analyze the profitability of the business. Like comparative balance sheet, income statement also has four columns. The first two columns are shown figures of various items for two years. Third and fourth columns are used to show increase or decrease in figures in absolute amount and percentages respectively. The analysis and interpretation of income statement will involve the following : The increase or decrease in sales should be compared with the increase or decrease in cost of goods sold. To study the operating profits The increase or decrease in net profit is calculated that will give an idea about the overall profitability of the concern.
COMMON SIZE STATEMENTS AND TREND ANALYSIS The common size statements (Balance Sheet and Income Statement) are shown in analytical percentages. The figures of these statements are shown as percentages of total assets, total liabilities and total sales respectively. Take the example of Balance Sheet. The total assets are taken as 100 and different assets are expressed as a percentage of the total. Similarly, various liabilities are taken as a part of total liabilities. Common size balance sheet A statement where balance sheet items are expressed in the ratio of each asset to total assets and the ratio of each liability is expressed in the ratio of total liabilities is called common size balance sheet. Thus the common size statement may be prepared in the following way.
AISHWARYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES AND RESEARCH, BANGALORE. Page 9
The total assets or liabilities are taken as 100 The individual assets are expressed as a percentage of total assets i.e. 100 and different liabilities are calculated in relation to total liabilities. Definition of 'Trend Analysis' An aspect of technical analysis that tries to predict the future movement of a stock based on past data. Trend analysis is based on the idea that what has happened in the past gives traders an idea of what will happen in the future. Trend analysis is used to predict a trend such as a bull market so that investors can ride that trend until data suggests a trend reversal (e.g., bull market to bear market). Trend analysis is helpful because moving with trends, as opposed to against them, can lead to profits for an investor.
