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’s 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.
In this report ratio analysis (two ratios for each category) is performed to explore the liquidity,
profitability, efficiency, solvency and other ratios of Silva Pharmaceuticals Limited, a listed
company of BSEC.

and to meet unexpected need for cash flow. Liquidity of the Silva Pharmaceuticals Limited will

The current ratio helps investors and creditors to understand the liquidity of a company and the
ability of the company to pay off its current liabilities. This ratio expresses a firm's current debt
in terms of its current assets. A higher current ratio is always more favorable than a lower current
ratio because it shows that the company can more easily pay off its current debt.

It measures the liquidity of a company by showing its ability to pay off its current liabilities with
quick assets. If a firm has enough quick assets to cover its total current liabilities, the firm will be
able to pay off its obligations without having to sell off any long-term or capital assets. Higher
quick ratios are more favorable for companies because it shows there are more quick assets than
current liabilities.
The efficiency ratio is typically used to analyze how well a company uses its assets and liabilities
internally. An efficiency ratio can calculate the turnover of receivables, the repayment of liabilities,
the quantity and usage of equity, and the general use of inventory and machinery.

more favorable. Higher turnover ratio means the company is using its assets more efficiently.

management or production problems.

Inventory turnover is a measure of how efficiently a company can control its inventory. So, it is
important to have a high turn. This shows the company does not overspend by producing too
much inventory and wastes resources by storing non-saleable inventory. It also shows that the
company can effectively sell the inventory it produces. Investors look for this measurement in
order to know how liquid a company's inventory is. It shows how easily a company can turn its
inventory into cash. Creditors are particularly interested in this because inventory is often put up
as collateral for loans. Banks want to know that this inventory will be easy to sell.

solvency ratio quantifies the size of a company’s after tax income, not counting non-cash

because they are more leveraged. If debt to assets equals 1, it means the company has the same
amount of long term debts as compared to assets. It is found in the given example that both the
year the company has less dependency on external long term debts and the ratio is strong (almost
same) position in terms of paying its obligation through selling its assets.
