The author has made use eleven ratios to analyze the financial position of the company. The ratios that he has used are Return on Investment (ROI), Return to shareholders, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), Earnings per share (EPS), Price-Earnings Ratio (P/E), Dividend yield, Dividend payout, Gearing ratio, Interest cover, Current ratio and Acid test ratio. The author was not able to use the gross profit ratio, net profit ratio and working capital turnover because since only JKH PLC is considered and not its subsidiaries, the total sales figure obtained is incorrect to be used in this ratio. To obtain the actual net profit ratio, net profit ratio and working capital then the entire group should be considered. The author was not able to use the Debtors collection period and Creditors collection period because JKH being a holdings company does not have any purchases. Also all its debtors are its subsidiaries and cannot be used to calculated the collection period.
