Ratio Analysis as a tool possesses several important features. The data, which are provided by financial statements, are readily available. The computation of ratios facilitates the comparison of firms which differ in size. The decision of top management depends upon the available ratios of the company. The ratio gives the perfect image to view the position of the company. Like in this case some of the liquidity ratios are increasing this shows that company is sound enough to pay all its current obligations. Just like these ratios EPS is also going in upward trend, and company is earning good amount against their issued share. In the present scenario the management must focus on the movement of the gross profit margin ratio because as we see that the ratio is going in decreasing trend, and on the other side the gearing ratio is decreasing which is a healthy sign, mean the liabilities are decreasing over their assets. The operating profit of the company is going in decreasing trend; in 2011 the result of operating ratio is suggesting that even the ratio is in negative, this shows that the company is bearing too much operating expenses which are causing problems for the company to pay off rest of its expenses, and even the dividend to the stakeholders.
