Let us consider an example that a company had a net profit figure this
year $1 billion. That looks pretty profitable. But what if the company has $200
million invested in total assets. The companys return on total assets is 0.005. This
means that each dollar of assets invested in the company earns one-half percent
return. In a nutshell, the ratio has given more detailed information than the single
figure of net profit alone.
There are different kinds of ratios that are frequently used by different
stakeholders of the company to decide upon the performance and financial position of
the company and subsequent decision whether to invest the money in the company or
not.
RATIOS COMPARISONS
There are two types of comparisons involved in the Ratio Analysis. These are as
follows:
INTERNAL COMPARISON
The internal comparisons of financial ratios involve the comparison of
current year ratios with the ratios of the previous year to judge the performance of the
company over a period of time.
PAGE
EXTERNAL COMPARISON
In contrast to internal comparison, ratios of one company can be
compared with the ratios of the other companies in the same industry to judge its
performance with respect to other companies operating in the same industry.
Moreover, the ratios can also be compared with the industry average to
determine its deviation from any applicable industry average. Such a comparison
gives tremendous insight into the financial condition and performance of the
company.

LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity Ratios are used to measure a companys ability meet its
short-term obligations. They compare short-term obligations with short-term
resources available to meet these obligations. From these ratios, much insight can be
obtained into the present cash solvency of the company and the companys ability to
remain solvent in the event of adversity.
Abbott Pakistans Liquidity Ratios are being calculated as follows:
PAGE
CURRENT RATIOS:
CURRENT ASSETS
CURRENT LIABILITIES
Year 2010
3,856,673,000
1,762,700,000
2.18
Year 2009
3,259,185,000
1,606,489,000
2.02
ANALYSIS
Current Ratio shows the ability of the company to pay its short term
bills etc. The higher the current ratio, the greater the ability of the company to pay its
bills. The liquidity ratio of the company is higher than the previous year which shows
that the companys liquidity condition has been improved over the last year. Currently,
it is in a better position to pay its short term liabilities than it was in year 2009.
Current Ratio of Abbott Pakistan reveals that its cash and cashequivalents are 2.18 times its current liabilities, seems quite good.
PAGE
However, the current ratio does not give the exact liquidity information
of the company as it is considering Inventories as current asset while it may take long
to convert Inventories to cash or cash-equivalents. Therefore, in order to take a more
in-depth look of the liquidity condition, we have to calculate Quick Ratio.
QUICK RATIO:

0.94
1,606,489,000
ANALYSIS
Quick ratio of the year 2010 is 0.97 while in year 2009, it was 0.94.
This means that the company has been improving its liquidity conditions since 2009.
PAGE
Currently, the company can pay its 97% of current liabilities with the help of its cash
or cash-equivalents. In the year 2009, it was in a position to pay only 94% of its short
term liabilities.
Currently, even after the removal of inventories on hand, the company
has satisfactory cash or cash-equivalents that it can use to pay its short term liabilities.
If we compare current and quick ratios of Abbott Pakistan, we can
conclude that it keeps a large amount of inventory in hand before converting it into
accounts receivable through sales. This is the reason why current ratio is 2.18 while
the quick ratio is quite low i.e. 0.97.

ANALYSIS
Inventory Turnover Ratio shows how quickly the inventories of the
companies are turned into accounts receivable through sales. In the year 2009, Abbott
Pakistan was taking 103.86 days to convert its inventory into accounts receivable
through sales. In contrast, currently i.e. in 2010, number of days to convert inventory
to accounts receivable though sales have increased to 106.97 days. This means that
the sales department of the company is not as efficient as it was in 2009.
Recommendation to improve this ratio is given under the title of Recommendations.

ANALYSIS
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio in 2009 was 5.07 which means that Abbott
Pakistan was generating a revenue of Rs.5.07 per Re. of the Fixed Asset. In the year
2010, this ratio has increased to 5.8 which mean that the company is now generating a
sales revenue of Rs.5.8 per Re. of the fixed asset investment. This is the indication of
the fact that the company is efficiently using its Property, Plant and Equipment to
generate sales revenues. Moreover, this ability has improved over the last year. To
further improve this ratio, company must improve its operations and make the use of
plant and equipment efficient.

ANALYSIS
Total Asset Turnover Ratio shows how efficiently the company is using
its overall assets to generate sales revenue. The ratio of the year 2010 is higher than
2009 which shows that Abbott Pakistan has improved its processes and is more
efficiently using its overall assets to generate sales revues. In simple words, it is
generating Rs.1.89 Sales revenue per Re. of the total assets investment.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Profitability Ratios are of two types those showing profitability in
relation to sales and those showing profitability in relation to investment.

ANALYSIS
Net Profit Margin of the company in 2009 was 0.07 which means that
its net income was only 7% of its sales. This ratio has increased in the year 2010 to
0.10 which means that the company must have adopted measures to reduce its
general, administrative and selling expenses. The increase in Net profit margin can
also be attributed to the decrease in tax, in there is/was any. If we translate this to
PAGE
simple words, it means that currently the company has a net profit of Rs.10 per
Rs.100 of the sales.

Year 2009
0.335
2,321,131,000

0.275
ANALYSIS
Gross Profit Margin of the company in 2009 was 0.275 while in 2010,
it has increased to 0.335. This means that the companys gross profit is 33.5% of its
sales for 2010. In other words, Abbott Pakistan is earning a Gross Profit of Rs.33.5
per Rs.100 of the sales. This is a positive indication since Abbott Pakistan has
drastically decreased its cost of goods sold. Furthermore, it can also be because of the
decrease in scrap and an effective price determination system.
PAGE
When we compare the Net and Gross Profit ratios of the company for
years 2010 and 2009, we can see that both of the said ratios have increased over the
last year. This means that the operations of the company are efficient. Moreover, the
pricing strategy of the company is also satisfactory as gross profit of 33.5% speaks
loudly about it.
In order to further analyze gross and net profit margins, we see that
there is a change of 21% in the gross profit while the change in net profit is 42%
during the year 2010. From this information, we can conclude that the company has
efficiently controlled and decreased its selling, general and administrative expenses
which have led to the net income change by 42%.

ANALYSIS
The Return on Investment for the year 2009 was 0.122 which means
that the company was generating a net income of, in simple words, Rs.12.2 per
Rs.100 of the total assets. This ratio has increased to 0.203 in 2010. This a clear
indicator of the fact the ROI has almost doubled during the last year. Currently,
Abbott Pakistan is more efficiently using its assets to generate net income. For the
sake of simplicity, we can say that it is earning a net income of Rs.20.3 per Rs.100 of
the total asset investment.

ANALYSIS
Return on Equity of Abbott Pakistan was 0.188 in the year 2009 which
means that it was generating net income of Rs.18.8 per Rs.100 of the common
shareholders equity. This ratio has increased to 0.3008 which indicates that the
company is efficiently managing its expenses. Moreover, it also attracts strong
investment opportunities as the return to common shareholders is quite high compared
to previous year. Currently, the company is generating net income of Rs.30.08 per
Rs.100 of common equity.
All the profitability ratios of the company i.e. Net Profit Margin, Gross
Profit Margin, ROI and ROE are indicating that the company is operating very
efficiently and is earning more profit for its shareholders. This means that the
investment opportunities in this company are far more than they were in the past year.

ANALYSIS
Analysis of the Debt to Equity Ratio reveals astonishing insights; the
company is being totally operated on Shareholders Equity and no debt is being used
to finance the company. This situation prevailed in 2009 as well as it is prevailing
currently. This in a nutshell means that the company is being 100% financed by
shareholders equity.
PAGE
If in case the company needs debt, the creditors will be more than
happy to finance such a company. This can be one of the reasons why the companys
profitability ratios are so high.

Earnings per Share of the company in the year 2009 were Rs.6.22 per
share. In the year 2010, it has increased to Rs, 12.02. This means that currently, the
company is giving more earnings per share as compared to the last year. In 2010, the
company is giving Rs.12.02 per share to all its shareholders. This can be attributed to
the efficient processes, efficient sales, effective pricing, decrease in cost of goods,
decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, effective use of assets etc.
High Earning per share tends to attract investors.

ANALYSIS

RECOMMENDATIONS
From the ratio analysis, we can see the Abbott Pakistan has been
improving its operations, controlling its expenses and efficiently using its fixed and
overall assets to generate income. This has led to the increase in almost all the ratios,
with the exception of only few. This indicates that the companys financial position
and performance was good during the year 2010.
However, from the analysis we have done, we conclude that despite the
good performance, there are some loop-holes that the company may focus on to avoid
future problems. They are as follows:
One such area is the liquidity condition of the company in light of Quick
Ratio. Quick ratio reveals that the company can pay its 97% of current
liabilities with the help of its cash and cash-equivalent assets. This seems to be
satisfactory but if the company could make it 100%, it would be ideal. This
can be improved by making the sales department more efficient in converting
its inventory in accounts receivables through sales.
The current ratio of the company is 2.18 while the quick ratio is 0.97 which
means that there are a lot of inventories on hand before they are converted into
receivables through sale. It is recommended that Abbott Pakistan should work
