Brief: Report must have the following sections-


Section I: Introduction (500 words): No ‘copy-paste’ please!
This would include a suitable justification for selecting a specific company. For example – if
you selected ITC, you would have had few reasons for selecting it. The company is in the
sector which you like or it is a market leader or it is a very old company or you just wanted to
study this due to the trending news. These reasons are indicative and you could decide to
have your own reasons for the choice but remember, whatever your reasons are, they should
be clearly articulated and presented.
Section II: Analysis and Interpretation- The quality of analysis is important. You must
include -
i. A vertical analysis, a horizontal analysis, ratio analysis for your company.
ii. Ratios to be calculated and analyzed under Profitability, Liquidity, Working
capital efficiency, Solvency and Investor decision making segment.
iii. Tables/charts/graphs to display the performance over the years or a two-year
period. Ex. charts like sales, assets and PBIT if taken for 5 years. These can
be taken from the previous annual reports and can be also be plotted for
competitors to make a meaningful comparison. More the merrier!
iv. Excel is allowed to calculate the ratios (show working notes, wherever
required). It is mandatory to calculate ratios for at least two years under each
of these categories.
v. Compare the company’s performance with competitors and with industry
average to comment on the performance.
vi. Industry Average can be taken from Capital Line Plus.

Critical analysis of financial statements: Evaluate the ratio numbers which you calculated –
are they good, could they be better. Try weaving different ratios together to present the big
picture. For example a poor liquidity coupled with a high stock turnover ratio could justify where
the correction is needed. Write your observations for each one of them comparing them with
competitors and industry.
Analyse crtically….Just writing yes it is good or no it is bad does not help.
Section III: Conclusion – In addition to the analysis done above, collate data from different
sources like information in the annual report, news about the company from newspapers,
company portal, websites like money control and investopedia.com comment on whether you
would invest in the company or not. It does not matter whether you decide ‘for’ or ‘against’
investing in the company but if you managed to identify the right reasons, the battle is
won!
