Financial report (FR) give a glance what is the condition of a company to the management or public as well. Some managers take time to read FR or tend to ignore, rely on a Financial manager.
In case a new management take over a company, FR including Balance Sheet (BS) and Profit &Loss (PL) Statement will tell in details rate of growth or down turn in the last few years.
How the company manage the Assets, we can see the structure or ratio between Fixed and Current Assets. And how the Assets financed, how big the ratio between Networth or Loan. The ratios among type of companies differ from one industries to another.
The important thing to understand is to see Fixed Assets are productive to increase income or which Assets who were non productive.
The next step is to compare 2 years or more period of BS or PL Statement as well.
BS will tell increase/decrease of Assets and where the source to finance the Assets, by Net Worth or utilized the income or borrow long/short time loan.
