INTRODUCTION
Banking is the business of providing financial services to consumers and businesses. The basic
services a bank provides are checking accounts, which can be used like money to make
payments and purchase goods and services; savings accounts and time deposits that can be
used to save money for future use; loans that consumers and businesses can use to purchase
goods and services; and basic cash management services such as check cashing and foreign
currency exchange. Four types of banks specialize in offering these basic banking services:
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks, and credit unions.
There are different opinions that how the word ‘Bank’ originated. Some of the author’s opinion
that this word is derived from the word ‘Bancus’ or Banque’, which means a bench. The
explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombard transacted the
business of money exchange on benches in the market place; and when the business failed, the
people destroyed the ‘bench’. Incidentally the word ‘Bankrupt’s said to have evolved from this
practice.
Some of the authors are of opinion that the word ‘Bank’ is derived from the German word back,
which means ‘joint stock fund’. Later on when the German occupied major part of the Italy the
word ‘Back’ was italicized into ‘Back’.
In fact human left the need of bank when it begins to realize the importance of money as a
medium of exchange. Perhaps it where the Babylonian who developed banking system as early
as 2000 BC. At that time temples were used as banks because of their prevalent respect. During
the rule of king Hamurabi (1788 – 1686 BC) the founder of Babylonians Empire, loans were
started being granted for interest. The borrower has to provide guarantee or he had to pledge
his goods or valuables. King Hamurabi drew up a code wherein he laid down standards rules for
procedures for banking operations by temples and great landowners. Also in Greece, the

temples were used as banks, where the people deposited their money and other valuables for
safe custody and security. In Europe with the ‘revival of civilization’ (Renaissance) in the middle
of twelve century, trade and commerce started expanding and this development compelled the
business community to borrow the money from the Hebrew money lenders on high rates of
interest and usury. Seeing the great demand, these moneylenders started organizing themselves
and bank started up at the principle seaports of southern Europe. Soon Venice and Geneva
became the most important money markets of the time and banking though different from its
present form, flourished. What we know as ‘modern banking’ originated in the 14th century in
Barcelona.
Definitions of Bank
"A financial institution, which deals with money and credit. It accepts
Interest and gives at higher rate of interest to those who need them.”
A financial establishment which uses money deposited by customers for investment, pays it out
when required, makes loan at interest, exchanges currency, etc.
J.W Gilbert in his principles and practice banking defines a banker in these words:
“That no person or body, corporate or otherwise, can be a banker who does not

Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
Collect Cheques crossed and uncrossed for his customers” (The law of Banking by Sir
John Paged, page 51).
The American defined the term banker in a very broad sense as under:
“By banking, we mean the business of dealing in credits and by a ‘Bank’ we include every
person, firm or company having a place of business where credits are opened by deposits of
collection of money or currency. Subjects to be paid or remitted on Cheques or order, money is
advanced or loaned on stocks, bonds, bullion, bill of exchange, promissory notes are received for
discount or sale”.
“Banks do business of money. Rather banks do business of lending and borrowing loans.”
“Banker or a bank or a person or company carrying on the business receiving moneys and
collecting drafts for customers subject to the obligation of honoring cheques drawn upon them
from time to time by the customer to the extent of the amount available on their current
accounts”.

The area now constituting Pakistan was, relatively speaking, fairly well provided with banking
facilities in undivided India, in March 1947 there were 3496 offices of Indian scheduled banks
out of which as many as 487 were situated in territories now constituting Pakistan.
The Reserve bank of India was the central banking authority in India. At the time of partition it
was decided that in the interest of smooth transition it should continue to function in newly
emerging state of Pakistan, until 30th Sep.1948.
In 1947 due to uncertainty and unsuitability the banking sector suffer heavy losses.
This resulted in a negative effect on baking service in Pakistan. The banks, which had their
registered offices in Pakistan, transferred them to India. In an effort to bring about the collapse
of the new state by pushing a deliberate policy of withdrawals the Indian bank offices closed
quickly. Those banks, which stayed, operated only in name pending the winding up of their
business. The number of scheduled banks thus declined form 487 branches before
independence to only 195 branches by 30th June1948.
In this tense situation, a committee was immediately setup to formulate a scheme of central
banking legislation for Pakistan. Many specialists were of the opinion that in view of the acute
shortage of trained staff, any idea of establishing a central bank was I impractical and the best
that could be attempted was the setting up of a currency board until such times as sufficient
staff could be organize to operate a central bank.
The questions as to whether the institution should be only a currency board or a full-fledged
central bank had exercised the mind of the Pakistan government since independence. Through,
it was realized that the shortage of trained personal to run the central bank would present
serious difficulty in view of the tangible advantages that a central bank enjoyed over currency
board, the government ultimately decided to take the bold step of setting up a full fledged
central banking authority. Among other factors, which led to this decision, there was the fact
the banking facilities in the country had been totally disrupted and there was an urgent need for
their rehabilitation, which a central ban alone could meet. As there was hardly any time to pass
as Act, an order was drafted, known as the state bank of Pakistan order, which was promulgated
by the government of Pakistan on 12th may 1948. The state bank declared open on July 1, 1948
by the father of the nation.
One of the first tasks of the state bank was to arrange for the replacement of the Reserve bank
of India notes, which had continued to circulate in Pakistan during the transitional period, by
Pakistan currency.

The first Pakistan notes were issued in October 1948 in the denominations of Rs. 5, 10 & 100.
An equally urgent task, which the new central bank had to address itself, was the creation of a
national banking system. To this end, while extending every help and encouragement to Habib
Bank to expand its organization, the state bank recommended the setting up of a new banking
institution to serve both as an agent to the state bank recommended the setting up of a new
banking institution to serve both as an agent of the state bank as well as the spearhead of its
credit polices.
Accordingly the NATIONAL BANK OF PAKITSN was setup under an ordinance in November 1949.
It started with six offices in the former East Pakistan. In view of the special role assigned to the
new institution, contrary to traditional practices the Governor of the state bank was appointed
to head its board of Director in 1950. Under the fostering care of the state bank and the support
of the government, the new institution developed rapidly. By using its special powers, the state
bank made liberal advances to the new bank to help it expand credit facilities in the country. By
1952, the National bank of India. Shortly, afterwards, in November 1952, the governor of the
state bank ceased to function as the president of National bank of Pakistan.
With a view to broadening the institutional framework of the financial system, the state bank
also sponsored the establishment of specialized credit institutions in the filed of agriculture and
industry. Banking companies (control) act was passed in December 1948 specifically
empowering the state bank to control the operations of banking companies in Pakistan.
Moreover realizing that the most serious limitation on the expansion of banking services in
Pakistan was the lack of trained personal, the state bank sponsored a banking training scheme,
which was repeated after year and turned out a large number of bankers.
As the Commercial Banking facilities continued to expand, a new Pakistani bank, the National
Commercial Bank was established and registered as a scheduled bank. In the filed of industrial
finance a new institution known as the industrial credit and investment cooperation was set up.
The year 1958 marked the completion of the first decade of the working of the State Bank of
Pakistan. When it was established there were only 195 bank offices in existence. At the end of
June 1958 their number had increased to 307, of which Pakistani banks accounted for 232
against 25 in mid 1948. Moreover at the end of June 1958, Pakistani banks held 60% of the total
banks deposits, and were responsible for 65 of total bank credit.
When the Ayub Government took over in 1958, the banking and monetary scene was
significantly affected by Developments such as the liberalization of imports, transfer of business
in food grains to the private sector, and the firming up of commodity markets. The demand of
funds picked up and there was a substantial expansion of bank credit to the private sector. The
pace of expansion in the institutional frame work of the country’s banking system quickened
and a new Pakistani, bank, namely the United Bank Limited was established.

Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
Owning the five years 1960-65, the credit structure in Pakistan made rapid progress. The bank
extended its network by opening six new offices located at Chitagong, Peshawar, Quetta,
Khulna, Layallpur and Rawalpindi. The number of scheduled bank offices rose from 430 at the
end of June 1960 to 1591 in June 1965. Several new banks were added to the list of scheduled
banks.
Two principal additions were the commerce bank, and the standard bank. The number of
scheduled banks, which stood at 29 in June 1960 rose to 36 by June 1965.
Under the impact of economic growth and dear scope of private enterprises, bank credit to the
private sector rose from Rs. 1,458 millions to Rs. 5759 million. Thus the total expansion in bank
credit to the private sector during this period amounted to Rs. 4300 million, which gave a annual
expansion of Rs. 860 million compared to the annual average increase of Rs. 144 million over
the preceding five years. Banks deposits increased from Rs. 2,493 million to Rs. 6883 million
during the five years period ended June 1965 compared to Rs. 231 million in the proceeding five
years. Time deposits during this period increased from Rs. 946 million to Rs. 3228 million, where
demand deposits rose from Rs. 1997 million to Rs 3655 million. The increase in time deposits
was particularly rapid. The ratio of time deposits to total deposits in June 1965 stood at 49.6
percent age as against 32.01 percent age five years earlier. Another salient feature of banking
development during this period was that since the rate of increase in bank deposits lagged
behind the rate of expansion in bank credit, the banked has to depend increasingly on central
bank finance. They borrowing from the state bank rose from Rs. 11 million in June 1960 to Rs.
1688 million in June 1965. Owing keen demand for bank credit, bank’s investments could not
increase as rapidly as their advances. Their investments totaled to Rs. 1,874 million at the end of
June 1965 compared to Rs. 1,231 million in June 1960. Investments which were almost equal to
their advances in June 1960 were only about one third of the advances in June 1965.
The third plane period witnessed a further expansion of banking facilities in the country the
total number of scheduled banked offices increased from 1,591 at the end of June 1965 to 3133
at the close of June 1970. During the same bank credit to the private sector rose from Rs. 5,789
million to Rs. 9492 million. There was also a substantial growth in the bank deposits, which
increased from Rs. 6883 million June 1965 to Rs. 13147 million at the end of June 1970. A
remarkable change occurred during this period related to the composition of deposits. Time
deposit becomes greater than demand deposits forming about 54 percent age of the total
deposits. As oppose to what happened in the previous period, banks were able to finance a
mush higher level of credit expansion without having to increase their borrowings from the
central bank.
After the assumption of office by a new government in 1971, may 1972 different reforms were
introduced to make the banks more responsive to the requirements of economics growth with
social justice. The reforms aimed at bringing about a more purposeful and equitable distribution
of bank credit, improving the soundness and efficiency of the banks, and securing greater social
accountability of the banking system as a whole.

Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
The role of the banking system had been truly spectacular in mobilizing savings of the
community and meeting the credit needs of the economy. But at the same time, the banks had
generally neglected their role in promoting social justice and had failed to play an effective role
in ensuring a wider and more equitable dispersal of the benefits of economic growth. In
particular the inter locking of ownership with commercial and industrial interests had led to the
misuse of bank resources. There was a heavy concentration of credit in big accounts and in
urban area. Credit facilities for agriculture, small business, newly emerging exports and housing
had remained obviously inadequate while the banks indulged in capital financing in few selected
business sectors and issued guarantees on behalf of favored clients, term clients, term financing
facilities for industry were wholly absent.
Under the banking reforms introduced in May 1972 the state bank of Pakistan was accorded
wider powers. It was authorized to remove directors or managerial personnel, if necessary and
supersede the board of directors of a banking company and appoint administrators during the
period of such super session. It was also empowered to nominate directors on the board of
every bank. As regard bank directors, it was provided that anyone defaulting in meeting his
obligations to bank would forfeit his directorship. Moreover, it was laid down that no person
could serve as director of a bank for more than six years continuously. Each bank was required
to have a paid up capital of not less than 5 percent age of its deposits to be progressively build
up to 10 percent age over a period of time. The banks were also required to transfer 10
percentage of their profit their reserves every years after the reserve became equal to the paid
up capital. With a view to diversity the ownership of the banks, the banks were required to raise
new capital from the market. Unsecured loans to directors, their families or firms and
companies, were totally prohibited.
The bank reforms also brought about the establishment of new institutions to achieve new
objectives.
A national credit consultative was setup under the supervision of the state bank with
representation from the government and the private sector. It was assigned the task of
determining of economy’s annual credit needs within the safe limits of monetary and credit
expansion with reference to the annual development plan. Such a credit plan was to cover the
public and private sectors. Alongside the National credit council and Agricultural Advisory
Committee was formed to allocate agriculture credit for various purposes, to coordinate the
operation or the agriculture credit agencies and to oversee the flow of credit to the designated
targets. A standing committee on exports in general and the new emerging exports in particular,
was also established. With a view to encourage the banks to extend credit to small borrowers, a
credit guarantee scheme was introduced under which the state bank under took to share any
bonfire losses incurred by the commercial banks in case of small loans of advances to
agriculture.
At the same time two financing institutions were established. The people’s Finance Corporation
was designed to provide finance to people of small means while the National Development
Finance Corporation was setup of finance public sector owned and managed industries and
enterprises.

The banking reforms turned to be transitional and interim step and when they were hardly
eighteen months old the government nationalized the banking systems, with the following main
objectives.
To enable the government to use the capital concentrated in the hands of a few rich bankers for
the rapid economic development of the country and the more urgent social welfare objectives.
To coordinate the banking policies in various area of feasible joint activity without eliminating
healthy competition among banks.
The act passed for the nationalization of banks is known as the banks Nationalization Act 1974.
Thus under this act the state bank of Pakistan and all the commercial banks incorporated in
Pakistan and carrying business in or outside the country were brought under government
ownership with effect from Jan 1, 1974. The ownership, management and control of all Pakistani
banks stood transferred to and vested in the Federal government. The shareholders were
provided compensation in the form of federal government bonds redeemable at par anytime
within the period of fifteen years. Under the Nationalization act, the Chairman, Directors and
Executives of various banks, other than those appointed by federal government were removed
from their offices and the central boards of the banks and all local bodies were dissolved.
Pakistan banking council was established to coordinate the activities of the Nationalized
Commercial banks. At the time of Nationalization on December31, 1973 there were following 14
Pakistani commercial banks with 3323 offices allover Pakistan and 74 offices in foreign
countries:

The Pakistan banking council prepared a scheme for the recognition of banks. The bank
(amalgamation) scheme 1974 was notified in April, providing for the amalgamation of the
smaller banks into bigger ones and the following five units:
The first phase was completed on 30th June. 1974. When the Bank of Bahawalpur Limited was
merged with the National Bank of Pakistan. The Premier Bank Limited with Muslim Commercial
Bank Limited, Sarhad Bank Limited and Pak Bank Limited were renamed as Allied Bank of
Pakistan Limited.
The second phase was completed on 31st Dec.1974, when the Commerce Bank Limited merged
with the United Bank limited.
The third and the final phase were completed on 30th June, 1975 when the Standard Bank
Limited was merged with Habib Bank Limited.
The nationalization was very smooth and gave very positive results.
The number of branches, which stood at 3397 on Dec31, 1973, reached on 7661 by the end of
June 1992. The bank deposits which stood at Rs. 1925 crores at the end of 1973 went on
increasing very high.
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 11
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
Another major development in the history of Pakistan Banking System was the introduced of
interest free banking in selected Commercial Banks with effect form Jan1, 1981. This followed
the effort to eliminated interest from the operation of Nation investment trust, the House
Building Finance Corporation of Pakistan. Certain amendments were made in banking and other
laws with the object of ushering in a new system of banking, which would confirm of Shariah. A
new law Modaraba Companies Ordinance 1980 was promulgated. Separate interest free
counters began to operate in all the nationalized commercial banks free counters began to
operate in all the nationalized commercial banks. The state bank provides finance against
participation term certificate and also against promissory notes supported by Modaraba
certificate.
In order to cover interest free transactions certain banking definitions such as creditors, debtor,
and advances credits and deposits were revised. Stipulations concerning form of business in
which banking companies may engage may also have been modified schemes were introduced
to provide interest free loans to formers and deserving students.
A private Limited Company named as Bankers Equity limited was incorporated in 1979 to
provide financial assistance to the industrial sector primarily on interest free basis.
A scheme to extend interest free productive loans to farmers and fisherman has also been
introduced. Instead of interest, a system based on mark-up in price, exchange rate differential,
and profit and loss sharing accounts were introduced.
Musharika Financing.
Modaraba Financing.
When it was realized that the role of public sector in the economy is over extended and the
banking sector has more earning potential in the private sector the process of privatization
banking sector restarted in 1991 by the Muslim League Government. Muslim Commercial Bank
was Dis-invested in to two phases while ABL was sold to its employees. Since then allot of
investment is being made in the banking sector and several new banks were established and still

the process is going on. Now only NBP is government bank other than SBP. The performance of
this bank will be analyzed and judged in the following chapters.
Types of Banks
Primarily all banks gather temporarily idle money for the purpose of lending to other
and investment gain in the form of return, profits and dividends etc. however, due to the verity
of resources of money and the diversity in lending and investment operations, banks have been
place in various categories, such as
Commercial Bank
Savings Bank
Merchant Banks
Mortgage Banks
Consumer Bank
Investment Bank
Central Bank
Commercial Bank:
The commercial banks received deposits from the general public, which are repayable
on demand upon written orders of the depositors. As their most distinctive feature the
commercial banks maintain the checking accounts for the constitutions.
Te commercial banks are also distinguished for providing short-term finance to trade,
commerce and industry to enable these sectors to expand their productive activities
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 13
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
Merchant Banks:
Merchant banks are those, which have been mainly financing the domestic and
international trade. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries the trade between countries
was financed by bill of exchange by well-reputed merchant’s houses for which they would
charges a commission for their services
Savings Banks:
The basic purpose of these banks is to inculcate the habit of saving in the people
the savings banks deposits are not repayable upon only the written order of depositor
but the depositor of his agent has to appear personally at the saving banks to make
withdrawal and for this purpose he must present a pass book a certificate of deposit or
some similar documents to prove his right to receive his payments. Post office savings
banks and savings accounts at national saving organizations are well known national
saving banks in Pakistan.
Mortgage Banks:
These banks mainly deal in loans for acquisition or construction of real estate against
the securities of mortgage.
Consumer Banks :
These banks providing finance for purchasing consumption goods for the use of Brewers

These banks assists business houses and governmental bodies to raise money through
the sale of stocks and bond for usually long term purposes these banks perform the usual
functions of raising deposits of idle money from the public and finance the business houses

Central Banks:
Central banks occupy the unique position in banking structure of a country because they have
been interested with the responsibility of controlling the money supply, interest rate, and

THEORETICAL ASPECTS
RATIO ANALYSIS
With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several
aspects such as financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of the
undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether
the management has utilized the firm’s assets correctly, to increase the
investor’s wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum
utilization of firms assets
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 16
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
The information given in the basic financial statements serves no useful Purpose
unless it s interrupted and analyzed in some comparable terms. The ratio analysis is one
of the tools in the hands of those who want to know something more from the financial
statements in the simplified manner.
Accounting ratios provide a reliable data, which can be compared, studied and
analyzed. These ratios provide sound footing for future prospectus. The ratios can also
serve as a basis for preparing budgeting future line of action.
Liquidity position
With help of ratio analysis conclusions can be drawn regarding the Liquidity
position of a firm. The liquidity position of a firm would be satisfactory if it is able to
meet its current obligation when they become due. The ability to met short term
liabilities is reflected in the liquidity ratio of a firm.
Ratio analysis is equally for assessing the long term financial ability of the Firm.
The long term solvency is measured by the leverage or capital structure and profitability
ratio which shows the earning power and operating efficiency, Solvency ratio shows
relationship between total liability and total assets.
Operating efficiency:
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 17
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis, relevant from the View
point of management is that it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various
activity ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.
Different ratios are used for different purposes; these ratios can be grouped
into various classes according to the financial activity. Ratios are classified into four
broad categories.
Liquidity ratio measures the firms ability to meet its current obligations i.e. ability to pay
its obligations and when they become due. Commonly used ratios are:
Current Assets
Current Ratio =
Current liabilities
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 18
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
Leverage or capital structure ratios are the ratios which indicate the relative
interest of the owners and the creditors in an enterprise. These ratios indicate the
funds provided by the long-term creditors and owners.
To judge the long term financial position of the firm following ratios are applied.
Debt-equity ratio which expresses the relationship between debt and equity.
This ratio explains how far owned funds are sufficient to pay outside liabilities. It is
calculated by following formula:
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 19
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
2.3.2.2 Total Debt Ratio
This ratio explains how far owned and borrowed funds are sufficient to pay debt of a
firm
Profitability ratio are the best indicators of overall efficiency of the business
concern, because they compare return of value over and above the value put into
business with sales or service carried on by the firm with the help of assets
employed. Profitability ratio can be determined on the basis of:
1. Sales
2. Investment
The gross profit to sales ratio establishes relationship between gross profit
and sales to measure the relative operating efficiency of the firm to reflect pricing
policy.
Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
Gross Profit to Sales Ratio = * 100
Sale

The net margin indicates the management’s ability to earn sufficient profit
on sales to earn sufficient profit on sales not only to cover all revenue operating
expenses of the business, the cost of borrowed funds and the cost of goods or servicing,
but also to have sufficient margin to pay reasonable comparison to shareholders on
their contributions to the firm.
Sales
Fixed Assets

2.3.3.2.2 Return on Capital Employed:
Activity ratio are sometimes are called efficiency ratios. Activity ratios are
concerned with how efficiently the assets of the firm are managed.
These ratios express relationship between level of sales and the investment in
various assets inventories, receivables, fixed assets etc.

2.3.4.2 Debt Turnover Ratio
This ratio shows how quickly the debtors are converted into cash
Total Sales
Debt Turnover Ratio =

Average Collection Period Ratio =
Debtors Turnover
Trade creditors are interested in firm's ability to meet their claims over a very short
period of time. Their analysis will, there fore confine to the evaluation of the firm's
liquidity positions.
Suppliers of long-term debt on the other hand are concerned with firm's long-term solvency and
survival. They analysis the firms profitability over time, its ability to generate cash to be able to
pay interest and repay interest and repay principal and the relationship between various source
of funds. (Capital structure relationship).
Long-term creditors do analyses the historical financial statements but they place more
emphasis on the firm's projected financial statement to make analysis about its future solvency
and profitability.

Investors
Investors who have invested their money in the firms share are most concerned about the firm
steady growth in earning. As such, they concentrate on the analysis of the firm's present and
future profitability. They are also interested in the firms financial structure of the extent it
influence the firms earning ability and risk.
2.4.4 Management.
An organization would be interested in every aspect of the financial analysis. It is their overall
responsibility to see that the resources of the firm are used most effectively and efficiently and
that the firm's financial condition is sound.
So thus management employee financial analysis for the purpose of internal control and to
better provide what capital supplier seeks in financial condition and performance from the
business and from an internal control standpoint, management needs to take financial analysis
in order to plan and control effectively.
1. RATIO ANALYSIS:
Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial situation.
Financial ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm's financials to
those of other firms. Ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios which are
derived from the information in a company's financial statements. Financial ratios are
usually expressed as a percent or as times per period. Ratio analysis is a widely used tool
of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial
statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical
performance and current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio refers to
the numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables. With the help of ratio
analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several aspects such as financial health,
profitability and operational efficiency of the undertaking. Ratio points out the
operating efficiency of the firm i.e. whether the management has utilized the firm’s
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 24
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
assets correctly, to increase the investor’s wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners
and secures optimum utilization of firm’s assets. Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm
comparison by providing necessary data. An inter firm comparison indicates relative
position. It provides the relevant data for the comparison of the performance of
different departments. If comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of
variations may be identified and if results are negative, the action may be initiated
immediately to bring them in line. Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis,
relevant from the View point of management is that it throws light on the degree
efficiency in the various activity ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.

1.1 Liquidity Ratios
Liquidity ratios measure a firm’s ability to meet its current obligations. These include:
Current Ratio:
This ratio indicates the extent to which current liabilities are covered by those assets expected
to be converted to cash in the near future. Current assets normally include cash, marketable
securities, accounts receivables, and inventories. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable,
short-term notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued taxes, and other
accrued expenses. Current assets are important to businesses because they are the assets that
are used to fund day-to-day operations and pay ongoing expenses.

By using a combination of assets, debt, equity, and interest payments, leverage ratio's are used
to understand a company's ability to meet it long term financial obligations. Leverage ratios
measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long term funds. The level of leverage depends
on a lot of factors such as availability of collateral, strength of operating cash flow and tax
treatments. Thus, investors should be careful about comparing financial leverage between
companies from different industries. For example companies in the banking industry naturally
operates with a high leverage as collateral their assets are easily collateralized.
These include:
The interest coverage ratio tells us how easily a company is able to pay interest expenses
associated to the debt they currently have. The ratio is designed to understand the amount of

much same in 2007 and 2008, but has taken a different look in 2006. As in 2006 they issued a
little high number of long-term loans and does not have good liquidity position, their EBIT
became high thus making TIE a little high as well

Debt Ratio:
The ratio of total debt to total assets, generally called the debt ratio, measures the percentage
of funds provided by the creditors. The proportion of a firm's total assets that are being financed
with borrowed funds. The debt ratio is calculated by dividing total long-term and short-term
liabilities by total assets. The higher the ratio, the more leverage the company is using and the
more risk it is assuming. Assets and liabilities are found on a company's balance sheet.

Calculating the debt ratio, we came to see that this company is highly leveraged one.
The debt to equity ratio is the most popular leverage ratio and it provides detail around the
amount of leverage (liabilities assumed) that a company has in relation to the monies provided
by shareholders. As you can see through the formula below, the lower the number, the less
leverage that a company is using. The debt to equity ratio gives the proportion of a company (or
person's) assets that are financed by debt versus equity. It is a common measure of the long-
term viability of a company's business and, along with current ratio, a measure of its liquidity, or
its ability to cover its expenses. As a result, debt to equity calculations often only includes long-
term debt rather than a company's total liabilities. A high debt to equity ratio implies that the
company has been aggressively financing its activities through debt and therefore must pay
interest on this financing.

The capitalization ratio measures the debt component of a company's capital structure, or capitalization
(i.e., the sum of long-term debt liabilities and shareholders' equity) to support a company's operations

considered to be one of the more meaningful of the "debt" ratios - it delivers the key insight into a

Profitability is the net result of a number of policies and decisions. This section of the discusses
the different measures of corporate profitability and financial performance. These ratios, much
like the operational performance ratios, give users a good understanding of how well the
company utilized its resources in generating profit and shareholder value. The long-term
profitability of a company is vital for both the survivability of the company as well as the benefit
received by shareholders. It is these ratios that can give insight into the all important "profit".
Profitability ratios show the combined effects of liquidity, asset management and debt on
operating results. These ratios examine the profit made by the firm and compare these figures
with the size of the firm, the assets employed by the firm or its level of sales. There are four
important profitability ratios that I am going to analyze:
Net Profit Margin:
Net Profit margin = Net Profit / Sales x 100
Net Profit Margin gives us the net profit that the business is earning per dollar of sales.
This margin indicates the profit after all the costs have been incurred it shows that what
% of turnover is represented by the net profit. An increase in the ratios indicates that a
firm is producing higher net profit of sales than before.

Return on Assets:
Return on Assets (ROA) = Profit after Taxation / Average Total assets x 100
ROA, A measure of a company's profitability, equal to a fiscal year's earnings divided by its total
assets, expressed as a percentage. This is an important ratio for companies deciding whether or
not to initiate a new project. The basis of this ratio is that if a company is going to start a project
they expect to earn a return on it, ROA is the return they would receive. Simply put, if ROA is
above the rate that the company borrows at then the project should be accepted, if not then it
is rejected.

common equity. It is the most important of the “Bottom line” ratio. By this, we can find out how
much the shareholders are going to get for their shares. This ratio indicates how profitable a
company is by comparing its net income to its average shareholders' equity. The return on
equity ratio (ROE) measures how much the shareholders earned for their investment in the
company. The higher the ratio percentage, the more efficient management is in utilizing its
equity base and the better return is to investors.

dividend yield is found in the stock quotes of dividend-paying companies. Investors should note
that stock quotes record the per share dollar amount of a company's latest quarterly declared
dividend. This quarterly dollar amount is annualized and compared to the current stock price to

The term "trend analysis" refers to the concept of collecting information and attempting to spot
a pattern, or trend, in the information. In some fields of study, the term "trend analysis" has
more formally-defined meanings. Although trend analysis is often used to predict future events,
it could be used to estimate uncertain events in the past. Financial statement information is
used by both external and internal users, including investors, creditors, managers, and
executives. These users must analyze the information in order to make business decisions, so
understanding financial statements is of great importance. Several methods of performing
financial statement analysis exist. I will discuss two of these methods: horizontal analysis and
vertical analysis.
Methods of financial statement analysis generally involve comparing certain information. The
horizontal analysis compares specific items over a number of accounting periods. For example,
accounts payable may be compared over a period of months within a fiscal year, or revenue
may be compared over a period of several years. It is a procedure in fundamental analysis in
which an analyst compares ratios or line items in a company's financial statements over a
certain period of time. The analyst will use his or her discretion when choosing a particular
timeline; however, the decision is often based on the investing time horizon under
consideration.

Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
VERTICAL ANALYSIS
It is a method of financial statement analysis in which each entry for each of the three major
categories of accounts (assets, liabilities and equities) in a balance sheet is represented as a
proportion of the total account. The main advantages of analyzing a balance sheet in this
manner are that the balance sheets of businesses of all sizes can easily be compared. It also
makes it easy to see relative annual changes in one business. When using vertical analysis, the
analyst calculates each item on a single financial statement as a percentage of a total. The term
vertical analysis applies because each year's figures are listed vertically on a financial statement.
The total used by the analyst on the income statement is net sales revenue, while on the
balance sheet it is total assets. This approach to financial statement analysis, also known as
component percentages, produces common-size financial statements. Common-size balance
sheets and income statements can be more easily compared, whether across the years for a
single company or across different companies.

SUMMARY
Financial Statement Analysis is a method used by interested parties such as investors,
creditors, and management to evaluate the past, current, and projected conditions and
performance of the firm. This report mainly deals with the insight information of the
two mentioned companies. In the current picture where financial volatility is endemic
and financial intuitions are becoming popular, when it comes to investing, the sound
analysis of financial statements is one of the most important elements in the
fundamental analysis process. At the same time, the massive amount of numbers in a
company's financial statements can be bewildering and intimidating to many investors.
However, through financial ratio analysis, I tried to work with these numbers in an
organized fashion and presented them in a summarizing form easily understandable to
both the management and interested investors.
A Case Study of Bank Alfalah and Habib Bank Ltd ( 092-006-115-Minhaj University) Page 87
Financial Ratio Analysis 2009
It is required by law that all private and public limited companies must prepare the
financial statements like, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement of
the particular accounting period. The management and financial analyst of the company
analyze the financial statements for making any further financial and administrative
decisions for the betterment of the company. Therefore, I select this topic, so that I
have done some solid financial analysis that will certainly help the management of
review their performance and also assist the interested people like investors and
creditors. That as a financial analyst how can I make any important financial decision by
analyzing the financial statements of the company. Because, it is the primary
responsibility of the financial managers or financial analyst to manage the financial
matters of the company by evaluating the financial statements. I am also providing
some important suggestions and opinions about the financial matters of the business.

CHAPTER 5
I compare and analysis the financial statements of Habib Bank Limited and Bank Al Falah
Limited.
Liquidity position of both companies is not up to standard, both are below industry
average, but the liquidity position of Habib Bank is better from Bank AL Falah
Limited. Working capital of Habib Bank is better than Bank Al Falah, but both
companies must improve their liquidity position.
Leverage ratios indicate the high risk associated with both the companies. Generally
leverage ratios, measures the percentage of funds provided by the creditors. The
proportion of a firm’s total assets is being financed with high percentage of
borrowed funds.
Profitability ratios of Habib Bank Limited are better than Bank AL Falah Limited. Net
profit of Bank Al Falah Limited is low due to heavy financial charges.
Habib Bank has a good market perception due to continuous declaration of
dividends but on the other hand Bank LA Falah limited has not announced in
dividend in the year 2006 and 2007.
Book value per share of Habib Bank Limited is much higher than the Al Falah Bank.
It is the Indication of the net worth of the corporation. Somewhat similar to the
earnings per share, but it relates the stockholder's equity to the number of shares
outstanding, giving the shares a raw value. So the net worth of Habib Bank is better
than Al Falah Bank.
Earning per Share and Operating cash flow of Habib Bank Limited is also better than Bank AL
Falah Limited.
