    Financial statement analysis involves evaluating a company's past performance, current condition, and business potential by analyzing financial statements. This provides information on the safety of investment, management effectiveness, profitability, liquidity, and solvency. Various analysis methods are used, including horizontal analysis (trend analysis), vertical analysis (common-size statements), and calculating financial ratios. Horizontal analysis compares amounts over consecutive periods, while vertical analysis expresses figures as percentages of an important item like total assets or net sales. Financial ratios provide mathematical relationships between accounts to assess aspects of a company's financial situation.

    HORIZONTAL ANAI-YSIS
    Horizontal analysis (also called 'trend' or'index' analysis) involves comparison of amounts shown in the
    FS of tvvo nr tnore consecutive periods. The difference and percentage change of the amounts are
    calculated using the earlier period as the base period. Considerthe following formula:

    Percentage Changer (Aolo) I$ !E!,&eg.en!*Uel-ue*:-gg!e Peri od \rAlue


    =
    Base Period Value

    Comparisons carr be made between an actual amount compared against a budgeted amount, with the
    'btrdget' ser vinq as llre basis or pattern of performance.

    LIMITA'|IO|\: if a negative or a zero amount appears in the base year, percentage change cannot be
    conrprrted.

    VERTICAL ANALYSIS
    Vertical analysis is the process of"eomparing figures-ir,rthe€$of a single period. It involves conversion
    of arnoirrtts ,n l.ire'f'S to a common base. This is acconrplished by expressing all figures in the FS as
    percent3qe..of ar rr:rportant item such as total assets (in the balance sheet) or net sales (in the income
    statement) Ihese converted statements are called common-size statements or percentage composition
    statemertts.
    Percentaqe cr:mpr:sition statements are used for comparing:

    r Whert calculating a ratio using balance sheet amounts only, the numerator and denominator should
    be basecl on amounts as of the sarne balance sheet date" The same is true for ratios using only
    incorne stertement numbers. Exception: calculation 6f growth ratios.
    r If an incorre statement amourrt and a balance sheet amount are used at the same time t0 calculate
    a rati<1, the iralance sheet ltmount should be expressed as an average for the time period
    represented by the income statement amount.
    r If the br:qinning balance of a balance sheet accor.rnt is not avbilable and cannot be computed from
    the given clata, the ending balance of the account is used to represent the average baiance.
    . If sales and/or purchases are given without making distinction as to whether made in cpsh or on
    credit, assrrmptions are made depending on the ratio being calculated:
    la l-urnover ratios: Sales and purchases are made on credit-
