course of business.
Fair market value is the price that would be agreed to in an open &
unrestricted market between knowledgeable and willing parties dealing at
arm's length who are fully informed and are not under any compulsion to
transact.
Gross book value of a fixed asset is its historical cost or other amount
substituted for historical cost in the books of account or financial statements.
When this amount is shown net of accumulated depreciation, it is termed as
net book value.
IMPAREMENT OF ASSETS: -
The following terms are used in this Statement with the meanings specified:
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and its value
in use.
Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to
arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its
useful life or a reasonable estimate thereof.
Net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's
length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of
disposal.
18
An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount.
Useful life is either the period of time over which an asset is expected to be
used by the enterprise or the number of production or similar units expected
to be obtained from the asset by the enterprise.

19
INVESTMENT: -

3. The following terms are used in this Statement with the meanings assigned:
20

intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operations of, the
investing enterprise.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a
knowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm's
length transaction. Under appropriate circumstances, market value or net
realisable value provides an evidence affair value.
INVENTORY
The following is the text of the revised Accounting Standard (AS) 2, 'Valuation
of Inventories', issued by the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India. This revised Standard supersedes Accounting Standard (AS) 2,
'Valuation of Inventories', issued in June, 1981. The revised standard comes
into effect in respect of accounting periods commencing on or after 1.4.1999
and is mandatory in nature.
The following terms are used in these statement meanings Inventories are
assets:
21
INCOME STATEMENT OR (PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT)
• Income statement is prepared to determine operational position of the
concern. It is statement of revenues earning and the expenses incurred for
earning that revenue.
• If the expenditure is more than the income then there will be a loss.
Income statements should help investors and crthitom determine the past
performance of the enterprise, predict future performance, and assess the
capability of generating future cash flows.
INCOME:
This is the total value of INVOICED products or services supplied LESS vat, and
trade discounts over a one year period. The words 'Turnover' and 'Sales' would
mean the same.
COST OF SALES:
This is the direct cost of goods or services SOLD. All other goods left at the end
of the period are entered as 'Stock' in the Balance Sheet. If you were a house
accounting builder, bricks, wood and glass would be direct costs within
22
'Materials'. As would the wages for the brick layer, joiner and glassier be direct
costs within 'Wages'. The cost of advertising the houses would not be a direct
cost as advertising is not part of the cycle. The same applies to wages for the
building/manufacturing/production administration staff.
GROSS PROFIT
This figure is the total amount of profit on all sales after deducting the direct
cost of making the goods or supplying the service. Expenses, tax and interest
are yet to be deducted.
EXPENSES
All costs in the P&L, figures exclude vat. Most of the expenses are self
explanatory; however, depreciation is not so straight forward.
DEPRECIATION
This figure is the profit resulting from all sales in the period. Corporation Tax @
20% (or whatever the current rate if different) has to be deducted from this
amount for a true figure.
23
• STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN OWNERS EQUITY (or RETAINED
EARNINGS):
The term owner’s equity' refers to the claims of the owners of the
business against the assets of the firm. It consists of two elements:
24
for a better understanding another statement called statement of
changes in financial position has to be prepared to show the changes in
assets and liabilities from the end of period to the end of another period
of time. The objectives of this statement are to show the movement of
funds (working capital or cash) during a particular period. The statement
of financial position may take any of the following two forms:
25
METHODS OR DEVICES OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
(1)Comparative Statements.
(2) Trend Analysis.
(3)Common-size Statements.
(4)Funds Flow Analysis.
(5)Cash Flow Analysis.
(6)Ratio Analysis.
(7)Comparative STATEMENT:
(8) The comparative financial statements are statements of the financial
position at different period; of time Generally, two financial statements
(Balance sheet and Income statement)are prepare in comparative form for
financial analysis purpose. The comparative statement may show:
• Absolute Figure
26
• COMPARATIVE INCOME STATEMENT:
The comparative income statement gives an idea of the progress of a business
over a period of time. The changes in absolute data in money values and
percentages can be determined to analyze the profitability of the business.
Income statement also has four columns. First two columns give figures of
various items for two years. Third and fourth columns are used to show
increase or decrease in figures in absolute amounts and percentages
respectively.
• TREND ANALYSIS:
The financial statements may be analyzed by computing trends
of series of information. This method determines the direction upwards
or downwards and involves the computation of percentage relationship
that each statement item bears to the same item in the base year. The
information for a number of years is taken up and one year, generally
the first year, is taken as the base year. The figures of the base
year are taken as 100 and trend ratios for the other years are calculated
on the base year.
• COMMN-SIZE STATEMENT:
27
A statement in which balance sheet items are expressed as a
ratio of each to total assets and the ratio of each liability is expressed as
a ratio of total liabilities is called "common-size balance sheet". The
common-size balance sheet co be used to compare companies of
different size. The comparison of figures in different periods is not useful
because total figures may be affected by a number of factors. It is not
possible to establish standard norms for various assets. The trends of
figures from year to year may not be studied and even they may not vive
proper results.
28
A statement of changes in the financial position of a firm on cash basis is
called Cash Flow Statement. It summarizes the causes of changes in cash
position of a business enterprise between dates of two balance sheets.
This statement is very much similar to the statement of changes in
Working capital, i.e. funds flow statement. A cash flow statement
focuses attention on cash changes only. It describes the sources of cash
and its uses.
29
RATIO ANALYSIS
It is a principal tool of the financial statement analysis. Ratio in an arithmetical
relationship between two figures. It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to
interpret the financial statements so that the strengths and weaknesses of a
firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be
determined. Financial ratio analysis is a study of ratio between various items or
groups of items in financial statement. Ratio analysis is process of determine
and interpreting numerical relationship between figures of financial statement.
It is an important technique of financial analysis. It is a means for judging the
financial help of the concern.

CHAPTER-3
(Theoretical framework)
41
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY:
A few studies have already been conducted on various aspects of BSL in the
present study an attempt made to analyse the financial statements. Hence the
study sets the following objectives before it:
42
CHAPTER- 4
(RESEARCH METHODOLOGY)
43
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis
of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose
with economy in procedure.
In fact the research design is the conceptual structure within which the
research is conducted it constitute the blue print for the collection,
measurement and analysis of data. Decisions regarding what when where, how
much, by what means concerning an inquiry or research study constitute a
research design.
44
TYPES OF STUDY
The study conducted is a conclusive descriptive statistical study. Conclusive
because after concluding the study, the researcher comes to a decision which
is precise and rational. The study is descriptive because it is in the descriptive
study, that the data is collected for a definite purpose and here the purpose is
definite i.e. the data is collected, to find out the effectiveness of the
advertisement. The study is conclusive because after doing the study the
researcher comes to a conclusion regarding the position of the brand in the
minds of respondents of different age groups. The study is statistical because
throughout the study all the similar samples are selected and grouped
together (similarity of ages thus forming a group).
Thus, this conclusive descriptive statistical study is the best study for this
purpose as it provides the necessary information which is utilized to arrive at a
concrete decision.
METHODOLOGY
The methodology followed for this project is mainly descriptive and analytical
based on data collected from different sources such as company records,
books and journal, magazine and websites. Besides these secondary data the
study based on some primary data gained through discussion with the
executives of the organization.

CHAPTER- 5
(Research
methodology
Primary data
Secondary data)
46
DATANALYSIS INTERPRETATION:
ANAL YSIS OF FINANCIAL RATIOS:
(1)LIQUIDIT Y RATIOS:
These are the ratios which measure the short-term solvency or financial
positions of a firm. These ratios are calculated to comment upon the short-
term paying concern or the firm's ability to meet its current obligations. The
various liquidity ratios are:
A. . Current
1,974.47 2,797.01 3,681.57 4,866.79
Assets (Rs.)
B. CURRENT
1,617.77 1,900.65 2,724.72 5,800.09
LIBILITIES
47
Interpretation: -
A relatively current high ratio design indication that the firm is liquid and pay
its current obligations in time as and when they become due. A ratio equal or
nearer to the rule of thumb of 2:1 i.e.; current assets double the current
liabilities is satisfactory but by analysing the current ratio of BHUSHAN STEEL
LTD. it shows that the current assets is low because some advanced from is
kept at head office which is debited in head office account i.e. is a part of long-
term capital, so analysis of current ratio will not depict correct picture at
division level & also the sundry debtor in inventory balance have been reduced
considerably over the period. Overall the liquidity position is not impressive.
48
Note:
Current Assets = Inventories + Sundry Debtors + Cash &
Bank balances + Loans & Advances
Current Liabilities = Liability + Provisions
(b) Quick or Acid Test or Liquid Ratio:
Quick or acid test ratio is a more rigorous test of liquidity than the current
ratio. The term 'Liquidity' refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short-term
obligations as and when they become due. The two determinants of current
ratio, as a measure of liquidity, are current assets and current liabilities.
Current assets include inventories and prepaid expenses which are not easily
convertible into cash within a short period. Quick ratio may be defined as the
relationship between quick/liquid assets and current or liquid liabilities.
LIABILITIES
49
Note: Liquid Assets = Current Assets - Inventory
50
(2)ACTIVITY RATIOS:
Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the
resources of a firm have been employed. These ratios are also called turnover
ratios because they indicate the speed with which assets are being turned over
into sales. E.g. debtor’s turnover ratio. The various activity or turns over ratios
have been named in the chart classifying the ratios. These are as follows:
52
OBSERVATION AND FINDINGS
A relatively high ratio design indicates that the firm is liquid and have
ability to pay its current obligations in time as and when they become
due.
By analyzing the liquidity ratio, shows that the absolute liquid assets
are around zero percent taking liquid assets above the required level.
In the year 2010-11 and 2011-12 inventory turnover ratio is less but in
previous year it increases. It indicates BSL not efficiently used or
managed its stock in these years.
53
LIMITATIONS:-
54
SUGGESTIONS:
. The organisation must take necessary steps to raise the amount of
interest on loans & advances in order to increase the revenue
sources of BSL.
55
CONCLUSION:
The "ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT" plays a vital role
in helping financial managers and top management of
company to plan and control their financial structural
operations. The present research work may be extended to
the pitfalls in management in terms of financial matters such
as income, expenditure, export and domestic sales,
profitability, fund availability, working capital requirements
etc. This gives an excellent idea about controllable and
uncontrollable variables. These may be re-examined and
integrated to evolve an innovative idea, which may give an
efficient financial decision. A sound financial decision gives
the way for higher profitability and performance. sIt is
nothing but a fine- tuning of control system in financial
structure.
