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.
