    Financial Strength looks at business risk. Thestronger a company is from a financial standpoint,

    the less risky it is. The Quick Ratio compares cash

    and short-term investments (investments that could

    be converted to cash very quickly) to the financial

    liabilities they expect to incur within a year's time.

    The Current Ratio compares year-ahead liabilitiesto cash on hand now plus other inflows (e.g. Ac-

    counts Receivable) the company is likely to realize

    over that same twelve-month period.

    The Long Term Debt/Equity Ratio looks at the

    company's capital base. A ratio of 1.00 means thecompany's long-term debt and equity are equal. The

    Total Debt/Equity Ratio includes long-term debt

    and short term debt.

    These ratios realize overall profitability, or the bot-

    tom line.

    Gross Margin shows the amount of revenue left over

    after deducting direct costs of producing the goodsor services. Operating Profit and Operating Margin

    trace the progress revenue down to another impor-

    tant level. From gross profit, we now subtract indi-rect costs, often referred to as overhead e.g. facili-

    ties and salaries associated with headquarters op-

    erations.

    Dividend Per Share: Common Stock Cash Dividends divided by the shares outstanding.Payout Ratio:

    This ratio is the percentage of the Primary/Basic Earnings Per Share Excluding Extraordinary Items

    paid to common stockholders in the form of cash dividends.

    A company's ability to operate profitably can bemeasured directly by measuring its return on assets.

    ROA (Return On Assets) is the ratio of a company's

    net profit to its total assets, expressed as a percent-

    age.

    ROA measures how well a company's management

    uses its assets to generate profits. It is a better mea-

    sure of operating efficiency than ROE, which on-

    ly measures how much profit is generated on the

    shareholders equity but ignores debt funding. This

    ratio is particularly relevant for banks which typi-

    cally have huge assets.

    The annual dividend is the total amount($) of div-

    idends you could expect to receive if you held

    the stock for a year (assuming no change in thecompany's dividend policy).

    The dividend yield is the indicated annual dividendrate expressed as a percentage of the price of thestock, and could be compared to the coupon yield on

    a bond. The Payout Ratio tells you what percent of

    the company's earnings have been given to share-

    holders as cash dividends. A low payout ratio indi-

    cates that company has chosen to reinvest most of

    EPS Excluding Extraordinary Items: This is the adjusted income available to Common divided by

    the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Sales (Revenue) Per Share: Total Revenue divided

    by the Average Diluted Shares Outstanding. Book Value Per Share: This is defined as the Common

    Shareholder's Equity divided by the Shares Outstanding. Cash Flow: Cash Flow is defined as the sum

    of Income After Taxes minus Preferred Dividends and General Partner Distributions plus Deprecia-

    tion, Depletion and Amortization. Cash Per Share: This is the Total Cash plus Short Term Invest-

    ments divided by the Shares Outstanding.

    The most important Per-Share Data item is Earn-ings Per Share. That's because ultimately, the price

    of your stock is related in some way to the value of

    the stream of earnings attributable to that share.

    This section also includes the amount of Cash Per

    Share the company had at the time of its most re-

    cent quarterly or annual report. Most of the time,

    this number will be far below the stock price. In

    a healthy industrial company, a Cash Per Share

    figure that is close the stock price might suggest

    that investors are underestimating the worth of the

    company's ongoing business, thereby creating an

    interesting investment opportunity for you.
