Introduction:
Financial analysis is important for every business organisation. Through analysing
companies’ financial statements, companies’ management department will be able to
recognise strengths and weaknesses and frame necessary strategies for recovering those
weaknesses. According to Albrecht (2010, p- 145), financial analysis is consisting of past
performance level of the companies and frame future strategies for better position in market
area with effective strategies. Through analysis of financial statements, companies’
management level will be able to recognise liquidity level and financial stability in market
area. Therefore, company level will need to follow different steps for analysing financial
statements. These steps are financial situation analysis, financial control, financial planning
and financial evaluation alternatives.

For the continuation of the research study, the researcher will need to choose two companies
from different industries. This study will be consisting of financial statement analysis through
respective ratios and evaluation with effective recommendations. Along with that, this study
will be able to recognise weaknesses of ratios for future prospective.

Task 1: Selection of companies:
a. Company introduction:
In this study, the researcher will need to choose different companies from same industry
level. Therefore, the researcher has chosen companies from technological industry level and
those two companies are Apple Inc and Samsung. The company Apple Inc is an American
multinational company. The company was started by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald
Wayne in 1976. This company manufactures mobiles, tabs, laptops, I-phone etcetera with
advanced technological progression. The company use their own operating systems in their
products and those are technologically advanced in global market. The company has total
employee level of 98000. During the last financial year 2014, the company had revenue level
of more than US$ 182 billion. Along with that, company’s net income level was more than
US$ 39 billion. However, the company has reduction figure in total equity to US$ 111.55
billion (Financials.morningstar.com, 2015).
For the continuation of this study, the researcher chosen other company from same industry
level and the company is Samsung. Samsung is a Korean multinational company, which is
having same category of product level of Apple Inc. The company was started in 1938. The
company has spread its business process and products worldwide. During the previous
financial year 2014, the company had lost figures in revenue level to US$ 305 billion.
Therefore, the company’s net income has reduced to US$ 22 billion during the previous
financial year 2014. The company is employing total 489000 employees worldwide
(Financials.morningstar.com, 2015). Both the discussed companies are in the market
competition towards technological progression.
b. Analysis of companies’ income statement for the last 5 years:
For the continuation of the study, the researcher will need to present income statement as a
part of financial statement. In the words of Chenhall (2012, p-111), income statement refers
to the records of company’s different levels of incomes and gains from market area. Through
the analysis of income statement, management level will be able to frame necessary strategies
for increasing the revenue level and net income level. Therefore, company will need to
reduce the cost of revenue and production cost.

Analysis of income statement of Apple:
Here, the researcher has analysed income statement of Apple for the last five financial years.
Through the analysis, it has found that total revenue level of the company has increased
through the financial years. During the financial year 2012, Apple had increased level of total
revenue by 11 %. Along with that, during the financial year 2013 the company had increased
level of total revenue by 15 %. Likewise, total revenue level has increased by the financial
years. However, the company has increased their operating income through the financial
years. For increasing gross profit level, Apple will need to reduce cost of revenue. During the
financial year 2015, Apple faced a reduction level in net profit level by 7 %. For increasing
sales revenue, company will need to increase investment level in marketing process and the
investment amount will need to recover from cost of revenue. For income statement of Apple
Inc, refer to Appendix 1.

(Source: Created by author)
Here, the researcher has framed income statement of Apple Inc for the last 5 years. Through
the income statement, it has found that total revenue level of the company has increased by
the time, but the net income has reduced due to increased level in cost of revenue and lesser
investment in business development process.

Analysis of income statement of Samsung:
In this case, the researcher has found that, financial condition of Samsung was weaker than
Apple Inc. Through the analysis of income statement of Samsung, it has found that total
revenue level had increasing rate from the financial year 2011 to financial year 2014.
However, during the financial year 2015 the total revenue for the company level has
dramatically decreased by 77 %. Due to increased level of cost of goods sold and decreased
level of sales structure, Samsung has faced the reduction figure in total revenue. Therefore,
net profit level has reduced by 80 %. That means huge loss has occurred in business level due
to reduction in sales structure. Compare to Apple Inc Samsung has lower market share in
global market. Therefore, more market analysis and more promotional activities are required
for the company. Along with that, operating profit level will need to increase, as it has
decreased by 61.77 % during the financial year 2015. For income statement of Samsung,
refer to Appendix 2.

c. Analysis of companies’ balance sheet for the last 5 years:
Analysis of 5 years’ balance sheet of Apple Inc:
As it has shown in the balance sheet, that Apple Inc had increasing rate in total assets from
the financial year 2011 to 2013. However, the amount of total assets has reduced during the
financial year 2014 by 7 % and 12.76 % during the financial year 2015. As current assets
level has decreased through the financial years, Apple Inc has faced reduction value in total
assets. Therefore, it is necessary for the company level to increase total assets level for
enhancing the working capital level for executing business level objectives. During the
financial year 2013, Apple Inc has increased their investment level by 7.81 %.
However, the company has reduced their investment level by 9.41 % during the financial year
2014. Therefore, total assets level has reduced for those consecutive years. For reducing
liabilities in balance sheet, company will need to reduce credit transactions and credit
purchases in business. The long-term investment of the company has reduced during the
financial year 2015 by 2.59 %. Therefore, it is necessary for the3 company level to maintain
investment process in the business process. Through the analysis of balance sheet, the
researcher has found that capital surplus has fluctuation figure during the financial years. For
balance sheet of Apple Inc, refer to Appendix 3.
Analysis of 5 years’ balance sheet of Samsung electronics:
Through the analysis of balance sheet of Samsung electronics, the researcher has found that
Samsung also had reduction figures in balance sheet due to increased level of liabilities in the
business. However, it has observed that cash balances have increased by 27.9 % during the
financial year 2011. During the financial year 2013, cash balances have reduced by 13.34 %
due to decreased level of sales in market area. Therefore, it is necessary for the company
level to increase sales structure for enhancing cash balances so that assets level can be
increased. Apart from that, inventory level has decreased by 9.5 % during the financial year
2014. Along with that, company level will need to increase assets level for enhancing
working capital structure for the business process.
In case of liabilities, it has observed that company has reduced their liabilities during the
financial year 2014 and 2015. However, during the financial year 2012, the liabilities have
increased by 9.37 % and during the financial year, 2013 total liabilities had increased by
7.5%. However, company’s treasury level has reduced through the financial years. Therefore,

company will need to increase their assets level and reduce liabilities for increasing working
capital to execute business processes. The liabilities will be reduced with the reduced level of
credit purchase in business process. For balance sheet of Samsung, refer to Appendix 4.

Task 3: Discussion of ratios:
a. Critical analysis of performances:
Ratio calculation has taken place in the previous task by the researcher. The ratio analysis is
necessary for evaluating company’s financial performance level and working capital
structure. In this case, Apple and Samsung have chosen for analysing the financial
performance level in the market area. During the calculation of ratio it has found that
company’s financial structure has many ups and downs.
Figure 4: Current ratio variations
(Source: Created by author)
From the above figure, it has found that Apple Inc has down balancing figures in their current
ratio. That means Apple Inc has reduction in assets level and increased level in liabilities. In
the words of Chen and Deng (2011, p- 214), for supporting business level activities in the
long run, company level will need to increase the level of assets and reduce the level of
liabilities. However, Chapman (2012, p- 62), argued that company level will need to have
loss figures in business process for determining the risk areas and develop those for future
prospective. However, Samsung electronics has increasing rate in current ratio. That means
Samsung has increased its assets level gradually for supporting business level activities.
However, increasing level in assets will create better working capital level for business
process.

Figure 5: Working capital variations
(Source: Created by author)
From the above figure, it can evaluate that Apple Inc has reduced figure in working capital
level. As it has analysed earlier stage that Apple Inc has reduced figure in asset level. In the
words of Bjornenak and Ax (2012, p- 14), increase in the working capital level will lead to
have financial supports in company’s business process and helpful for executing business
level objectives. Therefore, organisational level will need to increase their assets level for
business development. In this case, Samsung has increasing rate in working capital level.
Samsung has gradually increased its assets level for supporting financially towards the
business process. In this regard, Apple Inc will need to increase assets level. Therefore, tie-up
or merger process can help for increasing assets level in business.
It has found that Apple Inc has reduced figure of working capital from financial year 2014.
Here, Samsung has gained revenue through increasing working capital level in business
process. However, in case of gross profit margin Apple Inc has increased its market gross
profit gradually. Here, Samsung has reduced its gross profit figure during the financial year
2013. From the view point of Banker and Chen (2012, p- 300), gross profit will increase with
the decrease level in cost of production. That means, Apple Inc had higher level of liabilities
and that is why net profit level has reduced for Apple Inc. In other case, Samsung has
maintained lower liabilities for increasing working capital level in business process.

Figure 6: Variations in gross profit margin
(Source: Created by author)
In all levels of business process, company will need to increase its revenue and net profit
level. Along with that, assets level will need to be increased. According to Valipour et al.
(2012, p- 112), merger and acquisition process is the safest way for increasing company level
assets and increase company’s working capital structure. Through this process, company will
be able to have goodwill and market share structure of the acquired company and that will
lead to increase assets level of the owner company.
b. Recommendation:
Business development will need to take place in every organisational level. In this case,
management level will need to take close initiatives and engage employee level for corporate
level strategy making process Berry (2012, p- 108). In this case, the researcher has analysed
financial statement for Apple Inc and Samsung electronics and it has found that both the
companies are performing well in international market. However, there are few loss figures
for both the companies. For developing financial structure of the company level, the
companies can implement following strategies in organisational level:

i. Increase in the assets level will need to take place in every business level. This will
create working capital for executing business level objectives. Along with this,
liabilities will need to reduce for increasing net assets figure.
ii. Merger and acquisition can help for increasing companies’ assets level and market
share structures. Through this process, companies will gain percentage of profit
sharing according to the invested capital in merger process.
iii. Companies will need to reduce cost of production for increasing net profit level. In
this case, companies can be profitable with implementation of robotic technologies in
manufacturing process. This will reduce labour cost for the company.
iv. Along with that, companies will need to increase the investment level for supporting
business activities. This will be helpful for financing towards the business process and
increase the business in international level.
v. Product development can support in this case, because developed product will attract
the customers towards the purchasing process. That will lead to increase the sales
structure in market area. Through this process market share will increase and that will
lead to increase in goodwill of the companies.

Task 4: Weaknesses of ratios:
Ratio analysis is important for analysing financial strength and weakness in company level.
Through ratio analysis, management department can become able to frame necessary
strategies for business development. However, there are weaknesses of ratios:
a. Ratio analysis is based on historical data. Therefore, it does not mean that same
scenario will repeat in the near future for the company level.
b. Ratio analysis cannot figure out the exact necessary amount required for business
level.
c. Ratio analysis helps to indicate the financial structure of the business level and
recognise the risk area. However, ratio analyse does not frame strategies for
increasing the financial strength in the company level.
d. Market scenario does not stable for long time. Therefore, ratio analysis cannot justify
the next level of market and business process. It is the duty of management to forecast
and assume based on the resulted outcomes.
Conclusion:
In this study, the researcher has analysed financial statements of Apple and Samsung. The
ratio analysis has shown difficulties in financial structure of the company level. Along with
that, this study will be helpful for conducting future financial analysis for financial structure
of companies. The weakness part of ratio has shown the limitations in ratio analysis.
However, ratio analysis is important for financial decision-making.
