PREFACE
There are no lifts or escalators in the world of success. There are only stairs leading from one
level to the next. There is no shortcut to success neither can success come solely through luck
or good fortune. To pluck more than luck is essential for success, since fortune favors the
brave and not the fickle minded. in the nutshell, there is only one way to achieve success and
that is hard work performed as per a wall conceived and imaginative plan.

CHAPTER # 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
INTRODUCTION
Financial statements refer to such statements, which contain financial information about an
enterprise. These statements are a collection of data presented based on logical and consistent
accounting principals. The term financial statements include at least statements, which the
account prepares at the end of an accounting period: - (1) The balance sheet or a statement of
financial position; (2) the income statement or the profit & loss account. These statements are
used to Conway to management and other interested outsiders the profitability and financial
position of a firm.
Financial statements are the outcome of summarizing process of accounting. In the words
John N. Myer, “the financial statements provides the summery of the accounts of a business
enterprise, the balance sheet reflecting the assets, liabilities and capital as on a certain data
and the income statement showing the results of operation during the certain period.”
Financial statements are prepared as results of financial accounting and are the major source
of financial information of an enterprise. Recent activities and analysis of what has been
done with earnings.”
In the words Anthony, “Financial statements, essentially, are interim reports, presented
annually and reflect a division of life of an enterprise into more or less arbitrary accounting
period more frequently the year.”
29
NATURE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Data exhibited in the financial statement is not absolute fact because they are affected by
personal judgments, recorded facts, accounting conventions. The recorded facts are those,
which can be expressed in monetary terms. The statements are prepared for a particular
period, generally one year. The accounting records and financial statements prepared from
these records are based on historical records.
Personal judgments: Even though certain accounting conventions are followed while
preparing the financial statements, still personal judgment of the accountant plays a decisive
role in accounting. For example, He is to apply his personal judgment in deciding the role of
deprecation. Accountants have to exercise his personal judgment in respect of rate of
provision for doubtful debts, period for writing off intangible assets and classification of
expenditure into capital and revenue.
Recorded facts: The team `recorded facts` to the data taken out from the accounting
records. The records are maintained on the basis of actual cost data. The original cost or the
historical is the base of recording various accounts such as cash in hand, cash at bank etc.
taken as per the figure recorded in the accounting books.
30
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Analysis of financial statements refers to the process of the critical examination of the
financial information contained in the financial statements in order to understand and make
decisions regarding the operation of the firm.
The AFS is a study of the relationship among various financial figures as given in a set of
financial statements.
The basic purpose of Analysis financial statement (AFS) is to understand the information
contained in financial statements with a view to know the weaknesses and strength of the
firm and to make forecast about the future and help the analyst to take various decisions
regarding the operation of the firm.
V. To find out the relative importance of different components of the financial position
of the firm.
VI. To identify the reasons for change in the profitability / financial position of the firm,
VII. To assets the present profitability and operating efficiency of the firm as a whole as
well as its different departments.
31
PRINCIPAL TECHNIQUE OF AFS
AFS can be undertaken by different persons and for different purposes, therefore the
methodology adopted for the AFS may be varying from one situation to another. However,
the following are some of the common techniques of the AFS;
The CSS are those in which individual figures are converted into percentage to some other
base. In balance sheet the total of assets or liabilities are assumed equal to hundred and all the
figures are expressed as percentage of this total. Similarly in P&L A/C sales figure is taken at
100 and all other figures are expressed as percentage of sales. Thus, the CSS is useful not
only in infra-firm comparisons over a series of different year but also in making inter-firm
comparisons for the same year or for several years.
32
TREND PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS (TPA)
Trend percentages are very useful in making comparative study of the financial statements
for a number of years. In TPA, the trend percentage are calculated for each item by taking the
figure of that item for some base year as 100. These indicate the direction of movement over
a long time and help an analyst of financial statement to form an opinion as to whether
favorable or unfavorable tendencies helps in future forecasts of various items.
The RA is based on the premise that a single accounting figure by itself may not
communicate any meaningful information but when expressed as a relative to some
significant information. The relationship between two or more accounting figure/groups is
called a Financial Ratio. Ratio can be classified into:
Since the balance, sheet and Income Statement of a firm are two basic financial
statements depicting the financial position of a firm at the end of the year. These two
financial statements are called the traditional financial statements.
Both these statements fail to throw light on changes in assets, liabilities and shareholder
wealth during this year.
BS deals with the financial position gives only the static view of the year-end financial
position and fails to indicate the movement and causes change in assets and liabilities
during the year.
33
Similarly, is show the profits or loss resulting out of the firm during the years? This profit
or loss in facts reflects change in shareholder wealth.
Moreover, it is fail to ascertain the sufficiency of resources to declare the dividend etc.
thus, there is need to prepare another statement (together with BS and IS.)
The SCFP is essentially an explanation of the change in financial position of the firm.
The SCFP draw basic information from the BS and IS and helps in understanding the
changing in assets, liabilities and shareholder worth.
1. The way in which the firm used its financial resources during the periods. (For
example to acquire fixed assets, to pay debts, to pay dividends to shareholder and so
on.)
The SCFP deals with flow of funds during the year i.e. the funds coming in end going out
of the firm.
Thus, the SCFP should incorporate all significant financing, investing and other
activities of the facts whether such activity affect the cash /working capital or not.
Therefore, a SCFP prepared on cash basis (i.e., fund flow statement) should include
all significant transitions even if they do not go through cash or current accounts.
34
SCFP (WORKING CAPITAL BASIS)
The balance sheet of a firm does not disclose the causes of changes in these items
between the end of previous year and the end of current year. Therefore, an additional
statement called Fund Flow Statement is prepared to show the changes in the assets,
liabilities and capital between the dates of two balance sheets. Fund Flow Statement
is known by various others names also, such as “Statement of sources and application
of fund’’ and “Where got and where gone statement’’.
The term working capital (WC) is generally defined as the excess of total current
assets over the total current liabilities. The current assets (CA) of a firm may include
cash in hand and at a bank, stock, debtors, bill payable, outstanding expenses,
provision for tax, short-term liabilities etc. the term WC is to increase or decrease the
working capital by affecting any of the elements of Current assets or Current
Liabilities. Therefore, the FFS in its standard form, incorporates only those
transactions which affect the working capital i.e., those transactions where in only
one of the affected accounts is a current account.
Now, a flow of working capital arises when one of the affected accounts is a current account.
From the point of view of current accounts, the affect on Working Capital can examined in
the light of the definition of the term Working capital i.e., the excess of current assets over
current liabilities i.e.,
WC=CA-CL
WC (WORKING CAPITAL)
CA (CURRENT ASSETS)
CL (CURRENT LIABILITIES)
Increase in any of the CA or decrease in any of the CL will result in
increase in the WC, decrease in any of the CA or increase in any of the CL will result in
decrease in the WC.
35
A firm undertakes numerous transactions during a year and most of these transactions may
affect one or the current account i.e.; most of these transactions may result in the flow of the
WC. Neither is it necessary not practical to identity the effect of each transaction on the WC.
These transaction, instead, are considered and analysis in collective forms and then their
effect on the WC is identified.
1. Dividend to shareholder;
36
SCFP (CASH BASIS)
A CFS is statement-showing inflows and out flows of cash during a particular period. In
other, it is a summary of sources and application of cash during a particular spend of time. It
analysis the resources or changes in balance of cash between the two balance sheet dates. The
term cash stands for cash and cash equipments.
This cash balances sheet can be matched with the firm needs for cash during the period; and
accordingly, arrangements can be made the deficit or invest the surplus cash temporarily. A
historical analysis of cash flows provides in sight reliable cash flow projection for the
immediate future.
CFS explains the causes of changes in the cash balances of the firm by showing the sources
of cash receipts and purposes for which the payments were made.
The main objective behind preparing a cash flow statement can be laid down as under:
37
SOURCES OF CASH
1. Increase in liabilities
APPLICATION OF CASH
1. Decrease in liabilities
38
IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE OF CFS
The CFS has gained importance in view of the fact that there are many managerial decisions,
which are taken in the cast availability or cash position of the firm.
For example, declaration of dividend by the company required cash disbursement and
therefore, the board of direction must consider the cash position before proposing a dividend.
The CFS also provides information for the short term financial planning and in particular, the
short-term cash needs of the firm.
In view of increasing importance and relevance of the CFS, the clause 32 of the listing
agreement (between a company and the stock exchange where the share proposed to be
listed) has been amended by the SEBI. As per this agreement, the listed companies in India
are now required to supply copy of the CFS to each shareholder as a part of Annual Report.
As a result, the listed companies have started practices of sending a CFS for the period fit
which the BS has been prepared as a part of the Annual Report of the company.
As a new or small nonprofit, your biggest challenge is likely to be meaningful your cash flow
probably the most important financial statement for a new business is the cash flow
statement. The overall purpose of meaningful your cash flow is to be making sure that you
have enough cash to pay current bills. Business can manage cash flow by examining a cash
flow statement and flow projection. The cash flow statement includes total cash received
minus total cash spent. Cash management looks primarily at actual cash transitions.
(Note that nonprofit must file a financial statement called Cash Flow Statements, or
statements of cash flow- this statement is not the same as a flow budget.)
The balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement are the three generally
accepted financial statements used by most business for financial reporting. All three
statements are prepared from the same accounting data, but each statement service its own
purpose. The purpose of the cash flow statement is to report the sources and uses of cash
during the reporting period.
39
ADVANTAGE OF CASH FLOW STATEMENT
1. A projected cash flow statement can be prepared in order to know the future cash
position of a concern so to enable a firm to plan and coordinate its financial
operations properly.
2. By preparing this statement, a firm can come to know as to much cash will be needed
to make various payment and hence the can plan to arrange for the future requirement
of cash.
3. Cash flow analysis is more useful and appropriate than flow analysis for short-term
analysis, as is very short period it is cash, which is more reverence then the working
capital for forecasting the ability of the firm to, meets its immediate obligation.
4. Cash flow statement prepared according to As-3 is more suitable for making
comparison then the fund flow statements is no standard format used for the same.
5. Science cash flow statement is basis of accounting; it is very useful in the evolution
of cash position of the firm.
6. Cash flow statement helps in planning the repayment of loan, replacement of fixed
assets and other similar long term planning of cash.
7. It had better explain the causes for poor cash position in spite of substantial profit in a
firm by throwing light on various applications of cash made by firm.
8. A series of intra-firm and inter-firm cash flow statement reveals whatever the firm
liquidity is improving or deteriorating and in comparison to other firms over a given
period.
40
LIMITATIONS OF CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Even cash flow has a lot of advantage, cash flow statement suffer from the following
limitation:
1. Cash flow statement is not suitable for judging the profitable of a firm as non-cash
charges are ignored while calculating cash flow from the operating activities.
2. It does not present the true liquidity of a firm because the liquidity does not depend
upon cash alone. Liquidity also depends upon those assets, which can be converted
into cash easily.
3. As cash flow statement is based on cash basis of accounting, it ignores the basic
accounting concept of accrual basis.

CHAPTER # 4
DATA ANALYSIS
PREPARATION OF CFS
The CFS is intended to provide information about the flows of cash of a firm and is useful to
asses the ability of the firm to generate cash and cash –equivalent and the needs of the firm to
utilize these cash flow. The primary objective of the CFS therefore, is to provide information
regarding cash inflows and outflows during the year. As per the format given in AS-3
(received), the CFS summarizes the cash receipt, cash payments and net change in cash
position resulting, investing, and financing activities of a firm during the period. In order to
prepare the CFS, the following points worth nothing.
DEFINATIONS:
Cash Equipments are short term, liquid investments that are readily convertible into known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an in significant risk of change in value. Example
of cash equipments are treasury bills, commercial paper etc.
Cash Flows are inflows and outflows of cash equipments. It means the movement of cash
into organization and movement of cash out of the organization. The difference between the
cash inflows and outflows is known a net cash flow, which can be either net cash inflow or
net cash outflow.
48
CLASSIFICATION OF CASH FLOW
The cash flow during a period is classified into three main categories of cash inflow and
outflow:
Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of service.
Cash receipts and payments of an insurance enterprise for premiums and claims
annuities and other policy of benefits.
49
CASH FLOW FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets other investing not
include in cash equipment. In other words, investing activities include transitions and events
that involve the purchase and sale of long-term productive assets are not held for resale and
other investments.
The following are examples of cash flows arising from investing activities:
Cash advances and loans made to third parties other than advances and loans made by
a financial enterprise.
Cash receipts and payments relating to future contracts, and swap contracts except
when the contract are held for dealing or trading purposes or the receipts are
classified as financing activities.
Following are the examples of cash flow arising from financing activities:
• Payment of interest;
• Payment of dividend;
• Repayment of borrowings;
• Cash proceeds from long term borrowings;
• Cash processes from issuing share or other similar instructions.
50
There are two methods for preparing the cash flow statement:
1. Direct method
2. Indirect method
Both methods yield the same result, but different procedures are used to arrive at the cash
flows.
DIRECT METHOD
Under the direct method, we are analyzing our cash and bank accounts to identify cash flows
during the period. We could use a detailed general lender report showing all the entries to the
cash and bank accounts, or we could use the cash receipts and disbursements journals. We
would then determine the offsetting entry for each cash.
Entry in order to where each cash movement should be reported on the cash flow statement.
Some examples for the operating activities section include:
• Ending inventory
• Minus beginning inventory
• Equals cash payments for inventory
• Plus beginning balance in accounts payable to vendors
51
CASH PAID FOR OPERATING EXPENSES:
INTEREST PAID:
• Interest expense per the income statement
• Plus beginning balance in interest payable
• Minus ending balance in interest payable
• Equal interest paid
Under the direct method, for this example, you would then report the following in the cash
flows from operating activities section of the cash flow statement:
• taxes paid
• interest paid
Similar types of calculation can be made of the balance sheet accounts to estimate the effects
of accrual accounting and determine the cash flows to be recorded in the investing activities
and financing activities sections of the cash flow statement.
52
INDIRECT METHOD
In preparing the cash flows from operating activities section under the indirect method, we
start with net income per the income statement, revenue out entries to income and expense
accounts that do not involve a cash movement, and show the change in net working capital.
Entries that effect net income but do not represent cash flows could include income we have
earned but not received amortization of prepaid expenses, accrued expense, and deprecation
or amortization. Under this method, we are analyzing our income and expense accounts, and
working capital. The following is an example of how the indirect method would be presented
on the cash flow statement:
• An increase in current assets (excluding cash and cash equipments) would be shown
as a negative figure because cash was spent or converted into other current assets,
thereby reducing the cash balance.
The net effect of the above would then be reported as cash provided by (used in) operating
activities.
53
The cash flows from investing activities would be presented the same way as under the direct
method.
DIRECET METHOD

Cash and cash equivalent at end of period ****
(1) Calculate the net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents: for this purpose,
the operating balance of total cash and cash equivalents is compared with the closing
balance of cash and cash equivalents.
The difference between the totals and closing balance will be the increase or decrease in cash
equivalents during the period. It may be noted that if there are only one or two items of cash
etc.
(2) Net cash flow from operating activities: The term operating refers to the normal
purchase of goods and services. Based on the information contained in the comparative
BS and IS and the additional information, the net cash flow generated or used by the
operating activities may be ascertained. The IS prepared by the firms gives the net profit
figure earned by the firm gives the net profit figure earned by the firm, on actual basis of
earned / accrued even.
57
(3) If not resulting in cash movements, the profit or loss as by the may not result in increase /
decrease in cash balance by the same amount.
(4) Calculation of cash provided by financing and investing activities: All other items
are analyzed in the light of additional information to find out the resultant cash flow if
any. For this purpose, different items and information is classified into financing
activities and investing activities.
(5) Preparation of CFS: Based on information collection made. Now the CFS can be
prepared as per any of the formats. The net cash flow provided by operating activities
plus investment activities is equal to the net change in cash and equilivalents.
(6) Other items: If there is any other investment or financing truncations that should be
disclosed in the CFS, e.g. there may be a purchase of an asset by issue of capital or
debenture. This transaction will not find place in the usual CFS but must be disclosed to
make the CFS a useful and meaningful document.

ANALYSIS OF CASH FLOW
From the cash flow statement of the Living Media India Lt .it can be analyzed from two years
that the net cash balance of two years of the company has increased more than twice in the
year 2007-2008.
The net profit in the year 2007-2008 is more than last year and due to certain other changes
there has been increase in the cash balance.
The depreciation has decreased but it does not affect cash to an extent, as it is a non-cash
item.
In the head of working capital, there is a drastic change in the balance in the form of loans &
advances and provisions which has affected the cash balance. There is an increase in
receivable as compared to the last year. But the company trade payable than the last year.
So, the net effect is that the cash from operating activities has decreased to half of that of the
last year.
So, the net effect is that the net cash from investing activities is almost same as last year,
which is the negative. There has been an in working capital limit of the company last year.
Ultimately, the net cash from financing activities has increased than that of the last year.
The final year net affect of all the above adjustments is that, Net Closing Balance has
increased to two times as compared to the last year.

requirement.
