A financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a
specific point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an idea as to what the
company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by the shareholders. A statement of a
company's assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity at a given period of time, such as the end of a
quarter or year. A balance sheet is a record of what a company has and how it has come to have it.
A balance sheet is divided into two main sections, one that records assets and one that records
liabilities and stockholder equity. The assets should generally equal the liabilities and stockholder
equity because the latter two are how the company paid for its assets. The financial statement of a
business or institution that lists the assets debts and owners investment as of a specific date.

3.Cash Flow :
Cash flows is part of the financial statements issued by a business, and describes the cash flows
into and out of the business. Its particular focus is on the types of activities that create and use
cash. Though the statement of cash flows is generally considered less critical than the income
statement and balance sheet, it can be used to discern trends in business performance that are not
readily apparent in the rest of the financial statements. There can be significant differences
between the results shown in the income statement and the cash flows in this statement, for the
following reasons.There are timing differences between the recordation of a transaction and when
the related cash is actually expended or received. Management may be using aggressive revenue
recognition to report revenue for which cash receipts are still some time in the future.
The business may be asset intensive, and so requires large capital investments that do not appear
in the income statement, except on a delayed basis as depreciation. Many investors feel that the
statement of cash flows is the most transparent of the financial statements and so they tend to rely
upon it more than the other financial statements to discern the true performance of a business.
Cash flows in the statement are divided into the following three areas:
Investing activities. These constitute payments made to acquire long-term assets, as well
as cash received from their sale. Examples of investing activities are the purchase of fixed
assets and the purchase or sale of securities issued by other entities.
Financing activities. These constitute activities that will alter the equity or borrowings of
a business. Examples are the sale of company shares, the repurchase of shares, and
dividend payments.
There are two ways in which to present the statement of cash flows which are the direct method
and the indirect method. The direct method requires you to present cash flow information that is
directly associated with the items triggering cash flows such as:

Financial Analysis
Financial analysis is the selection, evaluation and interptation of financial data along with other
pertinent information. It assists in investment and financial decision making. Financial analysis is
used for internally to evalualate the issues such as employee performances. The primary source is
the data provide by the company itself in its annual report and required by security laws to
disclose additions information. It show the efficiency of operation and credit policies and external
to evaluate the potencial investment and credit , borrow and other things . The process of
evaluating businesses, projects, budgets and other finance-related entities to determine their
suitability for investment. Financial analysis is used to analyze whether an entity is stable, solvent,
liquid, or profitable enough to be invested in. When looking at a specific company, the financial
analyst will often focus on the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. In
addition one key area of financial analysis involves extrapolating the company's past performance
into an estimate of the company's future performance.
2. Vertical Ratio
3. Horizontal Ratio
1. Ratio Analysis
Ratio analysis is based on line items in financial statements like the balance sheet, income
statement and cash flow statement. The ratios of one item or a combination of items to another
item or combination are then calculated. Ratio analysis is used to evaluate various aspects of a
company operating and financial performance such as its efficiency, liquidity, profitability and
solvency. The trend of these ratios over time is studied to check whether they are improving or
deteriorating. Ratios are also compared across different companies in the same sector to see how
they stack up and to get an idea of comparative valuations. Ratio analysis is a cornerstone of
fundamental analysis. Ratios are usually only comparable across companies in the same sector,
since an acceptable ratio in one industry may be regarded as too high in another. Ratio analysis
can provide an early warning of a potential improvement or deterioration in a companys financial
situation or performance.
2. Vertical Analysis
Vertical analysis of financial statements is a technique in which the relationship between
items in the same financial statement is identified by expressing all amounts as a
percentage a total amount. This method compares different items to a single item in the
same accounting period. The financial statements prepared by using this technique are
known as common size financial statements. When applying this method on the balance
sheet, all of the three major categories accounts (i.e. assets, liabilities, and equity) are
compared to the total assets. All of the balance sheet items are presented as a proportion
of the total assets. These percentages are shown along with the absolute currency amounts
and when applying this technique to the income statement, each of the expense is
compared to the total sales revenue.
The main advantage of using vertical analysis of financial statements is that income
statements and balance sheets of companies of different sizes can be compared.
Comparison of absolute amounts of companies of different sizes does not provide useful
conclusions about their financial performance and financial position. The vertical analysis
is performed for a single accounting period to see the relative proportions of different
account balances. It is also useful to perform vertical analysis over a number of periods to
identify changes in accounts over time. It can help to identify unusual changes in the
behavior of accounts.
Horizontal Analysis
Horizontal analysis is a financial statement analysis technique in which absolute change
and percentage change in value of each line item of a financial statement is calculated over
one or more accounting periods. Horizontal analysis may be performed on any financial
statement i.e. balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and statement of
changes in owners' equity. Horizontal analysis of a financial statement for a given
accounting period is the value of each line item at the end of or for the preceding
accounting period is subtracted from its value at the end of or for the given accounting
period. The figures obtained from this subtraction are presented in absolute change
column. Percentage changes are then calculated by dividing absolute change in value of
each line item by its value at the end for the preceding accounting period.
