Financial performance analysis plays an important role in evaluating the operational efficiency and profitability of a business concern. The survival and growth of a business depend on its ability to generate profits and maintain financial stability. The present study analyses the financial performance of Kaveri Garments, a sole proprietorship textile unit located in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu. The study covers a period of selected financial years and uses ratio analysis as a primary tool.
