Financial Performance Analysis

CHAPTER 1 Introduction Project means practical training through attending the particular work in the related field. Practical training means a way through which a person or a trainee can gather experience about the related subject practically and be able to apply his theoretical knowledge in the field of real life action. Practical training also pave the way for gaining practical knowledge through activities other than reading textbooks and attending formal academic courses. Practical training is necessary to achieve complete knowledge about something. Project program is actually a form of practical training. Background of the study The selected organization was Sajeeb Corporation (SC), Dhaka. The concerned authority in SC assigned me to go to the various departments of the Corporation to get an overview of its organizational structure and the activities. The report has covered the area of overall activities and financial performance of the organization. The report is titled as “Financial Performance Analysis of Sajeeb Corporation. Importance of Project: Project prepares the trainee for the tough job conditions and future challenges of business activities.

In addition, Project helps a trainee to fulfill his practical knowledge and makes him fit for important jobs. This study goes through to examine the role of SC in the Market and its Financial Performance. From this study we observed the overall activities of SC and its financial performance. Objectives of Project:


The objective of Project Program is to gather practical experience and comply with MBA academic curriculum. To understand the functions of Sajeeb Corporation in the Market, mobilization of savings, investment for industrialization and its financial performance.

CHAPTER 2 Methodology of the Study The major objective of the study is to examine the financial performance of SC and to observe the overall activities of SC. In this study, decisions and calculations have been made basing on experiences and the available data of past activities. The following methodology used to complete this study: Data Collection The study in based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collect through face-to-face interviews with the corporation executives, Departmental heads or their approved officials gave briefs about their respective departments. Information gathered from these sessions has been use in this report. While secondary data were collected from annual reports and published documents of SC. In this study, we used five years data of Balance sheet and Income statement from 2005 to 2009. These data collected in any one or more of the following ways: Personal Interview


This is the most effective way of collecting information about any organization. Through this process, the trainees can confront the responsible officials of the selected organization and interview him. Through this interview, he gets the necessary information. I interviewed some departmental officials especially those related to the financial operations of SC. Briefing Sessions In case of corporate organizations, this method is useful. The different department chiefs brief the trainees. Through these Briefing Sessions, the trainees collect the necessary information about the different segments of the institution. By observation Through the process, data is collected by ways of investigators own observation without interviewing any body. It is a costly process and through this process, the observer gets limited information. Study period and Area We have chosen a five years period starting from 2005-2009 as the period of our study. Visited the different departments of Sajeeb Corporation, which depict in the following table: SL No. 1 2

Financial Tools For the analysis of the financial performance of SC, I have used Ratio Analysis. SC is a production based company so all the ratios are applicable for the financial performance analysis of SC. The following are of importance in the study: 1. Current Ratio

6. Time Interest Earned Ratio

2. Days Sales Outstanding Ratio

7. Net Profitability Ratio

3. Fixed Asset Turnover 4. Total Asset Turnover 5. Debt Ratio

8. Return on Asset- Profitability Ratio 9. Return on Common EquityProfitability Ratio. 10. Receivable Turnover


Computer Programmed Use Most commonly used statistical and financial package that used in computer for data analysis, such as: 1. Ms Excel 2. SPSS Scope of the study As has been mentioned earlier, the main focus of the study is the Financial Performance of Sajeeb Corporation. The report gives an overview of SC followed by a chapter on financial involvement of SC. After that the report establishes the theoretical and conceptual framework comparing with which the financial performance of SC will be judged. There is one elaborate chapter on the financial performance analysis of SC. This study will also present some problems of SC observed during the Project and the study will suggest some Project possible remedy of those problems. Limitation of the Study There are some limitations in my study. I faced some problems during the study, which given below: i. Lack of time: The time period for this study was very shot. So, I could not go in depth analysis. Sometimes the officials were busy and were not able to give much time. ii. Insufficient data: Some desired information could not be collect due to confidentiality of business. iii. Lack of Supervision: Few officials sometimes felt disturbed, as they were busy with their tasks. Sometimes, they didn’t want to supervise due to pressure of work load. iv. Other limitations: I was single person who collected all data. But my opinion is - it should be a group study. So it was very much difficult for me to gather all the information.

This company is exporting his versetile products in Kingdom of Saudiarabia, UAE,Jordan, Oman,Yeamen etc. countries. Product Information Tang is a sweet and tangy, orange-flavored, non-carbonated soft drink from the United States. Named after the tangerine, the original orange flavored Tang was formulated by William A. Mitchell for General Foods Corporation in 1957 and first marketed (in powdered form) in 1959. Tang as a global brand. It is extremely popular in Latin America, Southeast Asia and in other parts of the world. Tang, along with Boca, Oreo, Maxwell House, Milka, Toblerone, Nabisco, Oscar Mayer and Kraft, are being established by Kraft Foods as global brands, even though some of them are global brands already. Tang is building up in third world countries where juice powder is cheap and it is a major source of certain vitamins and minerals for folk in those countries. Even though Crystal Light leads in the U.S., Tang is number one in the world. The Tang brand is owned by Kraft Foods. It is available in 38 flavors (some region-specific), and is sold both in powdered form (in sachets and larger canisters) as well as in a ready to


drink form. A single 8 fl oz serving of Tang provides 9 grams of sugar; 40 calories (167 kJ); 100% RDA of vitamin C; 10% RDA of vitamin A, Calcium, Vitamin E, Riboflavin, Niacin, and Vitamin B6; and no caffeine. Kraft also makes a sugar-free version of Tang, containing aspartame, which comes in individually-measured packets and was introduced in March 1985. Tang is most commonly served as a cold drink, although some people prefer to heat it or add it to smoothies. Tang was famously used by the NASA Gemini. space program. A NASA engineer working with the Gemini Space Program on a life-support module explained the story of how and why it was used. Paraphrased: "... There was a particular component of the Gemini life support-system module which produced H2O (water) among other things. This was a byproduct of a recurring chemical reaction of one of the mechanical devices on the life-support module. The astronauts would use this water to drink during their space flight. The problem was, the astronauts did not like the taste of the water because of some of the byproducts produced, which were not harmful of course. So, they added Tang to make the water taste better ...� New Tang In 2007, Kraft introduced a new version of Tang (with Fruitrition) which has replaced half of the sugar with artificial sweeteners. The new packaging advertises "1/2 the Sugar of 100% juice."The artificial sweeteners used in the new formulation are Sucralose, acesulfame potassium, and Neotame. The new formula is more concentrated and distributed in smaller containers, with a 12.3 oz (348 g) container making 8 U.S. quarts. The recommended usage is two and one-half teaspoons per 8 fluid ounces of water. The lid on the new smaller plastic container acts as a measuring cup which may be used to make one or two quart quantities, the same as the original Tang. In 2009, Tang introduced seven new flavors. These include: Horchata, Jamaica, Pineapple, Lime, Strawberry, Mango and a reformulated Orange. These new flavors were made available in the Southwest US.


The Shezan International Limited was incorporated on May 30, 1964 as a Private Limited Company.

Chapter-04 Definition of Financial Performance Financial performance analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationships between the items of the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. Financial analysis can be undertaken by management of the firm, or by parties outside the firm, i.e. Owners, creditors, Investors, and Others. We can get financial performance from company’s Balance sheet, Income Statement Ways of measuring Financial Performance The Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account are the basic financial statements of a business enterprise. They provide useful financial data regarding the operations of a firm. Financial statement contain a wealth of information which, if properly analyzed and interpreted, can provide valuable insights into a firm’s performance and position, A balance sheet reports the firm’s assets and liabilities at a certain point of time. The profit and loss account presents the summary of items of a firm during a particular period of time. Neither of these shows the nature of the transactions entered into during the period to finance the firm’s operations. Nevertheless, they provide some extremely useful information. “The Balance Sheet is a mirror of the financial position of a firm.” It show the assets the firm owns, the liabilities it is to pay to outsiders and the amount of internal liabilities in terms of capital supplied by the owners at a particular point of time. “The profit and loss account shows the results of business activities or operations during a certain period of time, usually a year.” It presents the summary of income obtained and the costs incurred by the firm during a year. Thus, the financial statements provide a summarized view of the operations of a firm. Much can be learn about a firm from careful examination of its financial statements. It is an important aid to financial statement analysis. Of the various methods of Financial Statements analysis, Ratio analysis based on different ratios, which are calculated, from the accounting


data contained in the financial statements. Different ratios used for different purposes. Financial analysis depends largely on the use of ratios through there are other equally important tools of such analysis. In my study, I have used different ratios for the analysis of the financial performance of SC. Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis is a widely – used tool of financial analysis. It is define as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statement so that the strengths and weakness of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two items/variables. The relationship can be express as Percentages, Fraction, and Proportion of numbers. These alternative methods of expressing items which are related to each other, for purposes of financial analysis, referred to as ratio analysis. It should note that computing the ratios does not add any information not already inherent in the above mentioned. The ratio analysis is one of the most useful and common methods of analyzing Financial statements. As compared to other tools of financial analysis, the ratio analysis provides very useful conclusions about various aspects of the working of an enterprise. Meaning of Ratio A ratio is only a comparison of the numerator with the denominator. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two figures. Ratios designed to show how one number is related to another. Ratios are relative form of financial data and very useful technique to check upon the efficiency of a firm. Mode of expression i)

RATE, which is the ratio between the two numerical facts over a period of time, for example, stock turnover is three times a year.

ii)

PURE OF PROPORTION, which arrived at by the simple division of one number by another, for example, current Asset to Current Liability ratio of SC for FY 2005-2005 is 1.47:1.

iii)

PERCENTAGE, which is a special type of rate expressing the relationship in hundred. It is arrived at by multiplying the quotient by 100, for example, return on Investment of SC for the FY-2005-2005 is 3.04%.

Types of Ratios:


Several ratios, calculated from the accounting data, can be grouped into various classes according to financial activity or function to be evaluated. As stated earlier, the parties interested in financial analysis are short and long-term creditors, owners and management. Short- term creditors’ main interest is in the liquidity position or the short-term solvency of the firm. Long-term creditors, on the other hand, are more interested in the long-term solvency and profitability of the firm. Similarly, owners concentrate on the firm’s profitability and financial condition. Management is interested in evaluating every aspect of the firm’s performance. They have to protect the interests of all parties and see that the firm grows profitably. In view of the requirements of the various users of ratios, we may classify them into following four important categories: A. Liquidity Ratios B. Leverage Ratios C. Activity Ratios D. Profitability Ratios A. Liquidity Ratios: Liquidity ratios measure the firm’s ability to meet current obligations. The most common ratios, which indicate the extent of liquidity or lack of it, are: I. Current Ratio: The current ratio is calculated by dividing current asset by current liabilities: Current Ratio = Current assets include cash and those assets, which can be converting into cash within a year, such as marketable securities, debtors and inventories. Prepaid expenses are also included in current assets. II. Quick Ratio: Quick ratio establishes a relationship between quick, or liquid, asset and current liabilities. An asset is liquid if it can be converting into cash immediately or reasonably soon without a loss of value. Generally, a quick ratio of 1 to 1 considered to represent a satisfactory current condition. The quick ratio is found out by dividing quick asset by current liabilities: Current Ratio = Current Asset – Inventories/ Current Liabilities


B. Leverage Ratios: To judge the long-term financial position of the firm, financial leverage, or capital structure, ratios are calculated. These ratios indicate mix of funds provided by owners and lenders. The most common leverage ratio is: 1. Debt- Equity Ratio: The relationship between borrowed funds and owner’s capital is a popular measure of the long – term financial solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown by the debt-equity ratios. This ratio reflects the relative claim of creditors and shareholders against the assets of a firm. Debt- Equity Ratio = The D/E ratio indicates the margin of safety to the creditors. If, for instance, the D/E ratio is 1:2, it implies that for every taka of outside liability, the firm has two taka of owner’s capital. C. Activity Ratios: Activity ratios employed to evaluate the efficiency with which the firm manages and utilizes its assets. These ratios also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being converted or turned over into sales. In our analysis we do not use these ratios. D. Profitability Ratios: The profitability ratios calculated to measure the operating efficiency of the company. Besides the management of the company, creditors and owners are also interested in the profitability of the company. The most common ratios, which indicate the operating efficiency of a company, are as follows: 1. Return on Investment (ROI): The return on investment (ROI), which often called the firm’s return on total assets, measures the overall effectiveness of management in generating profits with its available assets. The higher the firm’s return on investment is better. The return on investment calculated as follows: Return on investment = × 100 2. Return on Equity: The return on equity (ROE) measures the return earned on the owners’ investment. Generally the higher this return, the better off the owners. Return on equity calculated as follows: Return on Equity = 3. Earning Par Share (EPS): The earning per share represent the number of dollars earned on behalf of each outstanding share of common stock. They closely watched by the investing


public and considered an important indicator of corporate success. Earnings per share calculated as follows: Earning per share = 4. Price Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The P/E ratio reflects the currently being paid by the market for each taka of currently reported EPS. In other words, the P/E ratio measures investors’ expectations and the market appraisal of the performance of a firm. The P/E ratio calculated is as follows: Price Earning Ratio = 5. Dividend payout (D/P) ratio: It measures the relationship between the earnings belonging to the ordinary shareholders and the dividend paid to them. In other words, the D/P ratio shows what percentage share of the net profits after taxes and preference dividend is paid out as dividend to the equity holders. The D/P ratio calculated as follows: Dividend per ordinary share (DPS) Dividend payout (D/P) ratio =Earnings per share (EPS) ×100 6. Dividend Yield: The dividend yield evaluates the shareholders’ return in relation to the market value of the share. From the dividend yield ratio we can know the real rate of earnings on the share. The dividend yield ratio is as follows: Dividend Yield = 7. Book value par share = 8. Net profit to total income = Net profit / Total income×100 CHAPTER-5 Sajeeb Corporation Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2009 Tk. In million Sales…………………………………………………………..

Interpretation In 2009, the Receivables turnover of SC was 6.29 days, which was, increased then 2007, where the time was 7.5 days. However, this also too much time to collect Receivables turnover then 2006 and 2005, and also short time then 2005 (12 days) to recover the A/R. Recommendation Lower Receivables turnover is better for company. Current Ratio The Current ration measures then ability firm’s to meet its short-tern obligations. It is expressed as follows: CA Current Ratio: CL Current Asset includes cash, account receivable and inventories. Moreover, current liabilities consist of all payables, current maturities of long tern debt, accrued expenses. It the current liabilities are rising fast than current Assets, the CR will fall and when CR is increased this post year, the present performance of the company will be better then post performance.

Interpretation: In 2009 the CR of SC was tell which was lower then 2007 when the ratio 1.27, which is best position during 5 years. In another year, 2006 was better than 2005 and 2005 where the ratios were 0.93, 1.02, and the CR of 2005 and 2009 are the same, which considered as good performance. Recommendation By the analysis of 5 years CR of SC. We can find that the company hasn’t done well over the year and to improve the situation it should graphically enlarge CR by increasing CA or decreasing CL. DSO (Days Sales Outstanding Ratio) Day’s sales outstanding Ratio indicates the average amount of time needed to collect account receivable. It is arrived at by dividing the average daily Sales, into the accounts receivable balance. Account Receivable DSO = Annual Sales
