Non Profit Companies - Since the company is not found for earn profit hence profit ratio is not usefule for this organization while analysing financial statement of the non profit companies.So while doing analysis analyst have to see have company have enough cash inflow for future operation and he has to check how much fund has raised and how much fund spent for activities.

Bank : Bank take money from the depositor through Saving , Current account and lend this money to the borrower at higher rate from deposit amount. Their profit will be on spread between they pay the interest amount to the depositor and interest received from the borrower. While analyszing anaylst has to consider where the bank have minimal capital at every time so that bank solvency level will be maintained throughout the period. So we have to see where any defaulter during the period or not if any defaulter is there that mean that will effect bank profitibility during the period because bank source of earning is spread between interest amount paid and interest on loan received. So analysiz has to see interest risk , loan losses , credit risk and minimal capital.
