1) Current Ratio has drastically increased from 5.28:1 to 16.07:1. This increase in ratio is slightly due toincrease of Current Assets and greatly due to tremendous decreasing of Current Liability (i.e. from 1.1 min FY 2013-2014 to 0.48 m in FY 2014-2015, almost 55% declining trend). The major decrease in currentliability is by settlement of Deferred Income and payment back to World Bank in respect of unutilizedamount of grant.
2) The improved change in Liquid Assets Ratio is likely same as change in Current Ratio. For the purposeof calculation of this ratio, Cash and Investment in Mutual Funds have been taken into account for liquidassets and it is against current liability (current liability is same as for taken in Current Ratio).
3) Total Assets has no vital role to generate revenue of ICM. The revenue of ICM solely depending uponregulating mandate and its human resource team to execute the business operations of ICM. Most ofthe Assets has comprises of Cash and Investment balances. Fixed Assets has nominal in term of value asmost of the Asset in no face of the financial as provided by parent organization. Therefore, theutilization impact of Total Assets Turnover is not significant here for consideration.
4) 0.26:1 debt to equity ratio implies low gearing and unleveraged of organization. ICM has muchcushion for debt financing due to positive equity balance if so required.
While going through this aforesaid comparison, ICM has generated surplus over its expenditures as wellas expenditures has also curtailed down as compared to previous period. The surplus percentage is 11%of its total revenue. This growth is charming for stakeholders and survival is certain. Business Operationduring the period is successful and financial condition is too improved. With Rs.4.9mn of equity wasavailable as on July 01, 2014 with the Institute, the ICM has increased its equity up to 6.23mn bygenerating the profit of Rs. 1.38mn for the year 2014-2015.
