The BS at the end of the year is now prepared.

Inferences

(a) End-of-year WC = Rs. 14,20,000, i.e. increase of Rs. 5,20,000. Percentage of profits is getting reduced.(b) Though inventories: have reduced, yet such a large increase in CA. is not advisable. Percentage of pi,)htb is genrng reduced. Efforts must be taken to reduce book debts also much of the Bank Balan~e a ~ cash d can be put into "Deposits", or to clear up CL, or eken to rcnegotiare long-term secured loans as a first preference and then long-term unsecured loans ;is a second preference. The ceduction in Investment (at cost) read with increase in Rank Balance and Cash indicates the need for better management.
