The study is tried to explore the potentialities and capabilities of the firm by looking pre and post and acquisition performance. The present study is examines the comparative difference between pre and post and acquisition in terms of financial analysis all the sample of ten major companies were taken from a list of and acquisition in india-2010.the results indicated a significant positive value creation to the acquired firms. The implication of the results will provide new evidences for the future and leads to greater value creation. Keywords: Financial performance, s and acquisition, synergetic effect I. INTRODUCTION Recent and acquisition is indicating the competitiveness, potentialities and capabilities within an industry. The more and acquisition activity there is, the fewer firms there are to compete against within a firm. However, these and acquisition cab built an unfair market advantages that may harmful to the industry. Fig-1 The evolution from segregation to economic integration has lead many business organization to increase the rate of and acquisition globally and India is also no exception. fig -2 Present and acquisition have an investment opportunity in some cases, if the and acquisition deals exhibit a majority share of a growing market after the and acquisition, it may signal that the company should purchase the stock of the target company equally, if the and acquisition seems an unhealthy, then they may want to separate from the business interest. The fact is that the amount and volume of and acquisition is accomplishing greater levels, and acquisition is most important because these activities have significant implications for firm performance (Laamanen & Keil, 2008) Figure 1: Volume of and acquisition in worldwide Source: IIMA (Institute of s, acquisitions and Alliances) 31 P a g e

Figure 2: Volume of and acquisition in India Source: IIMA (Institute of s, acquisitions and Alliances) 1.1 Background All marriage are heaven, it s the life afterwards that makes troubles. The studies of both national and international journals are encouraging on the work relating to comparative study of pre and post corporate integration through s and acquisitions. Maximum studies were already conducted on the value effect the and acquisition on stock prices and share holders wealth. But only a few studies have been done on the long term performance of bidder firm (Ross and Westerfield) after and acquisition. The study tries to provide conclusive evidence that and acquisition is efficiency or not. 1. Literature review Ghosh (2001) found s and acquisitions show the significant positive effect in operating performance.hbr(2011)found that 70% of s and acquisitions are failed to create a value to the firm, for instance, Morosini, Shane and Singh(1998) s and acquisitions become important strategic tool for corporate excellence of MNC. s and acquisitions results to increase the efficiencies and effectiveness of corporate sector in relating to individual companies corporate exposure(hih, Ireland and Harrison.2001).Pazarskis, Vogiatzogloy,Christodoulou, and Drogalas(2006) the negative performance is not differ from bidder firm and found that the profitability of a company that performed an integration id decreased due to the integration event. Kumar(2009) show that on average, the post and acquisition profitability and solvency of the acquiring firms shows negative results when compared with the pre and acquisition values. The key success in buying another firm is knows the maximum price of actual pay and then have the discipline not to pay a penny more. Vanitha and Selvan (2007) also found that financial performance of the acquired firms improves than the target firms. Manthravadhi and Reddy (2008) states that s and acquisitions have positive effect on liquidity of firms in banking and finance sector, Pharmaceuticals, textiles and electrical equipment industries saw a marginal reduction in performance in terms of liquidity, profitability and returns on assets. For the chemical and agri products firms, performance after s and acquisitions declined, both in terms of profitability and return on assets. II. HYPOTHESIS Based on the research gap areas from the review of literature to find the impact of s and acquisitions in post financial performance the following hypothesis is framed. H 0 : Post s and acquisitions performance have no significant impact on financial performance. H 1 : Post s and acquisitions performance have no significant impact on financial performance. 32 P a g e

The liquidity ratio like current ratio and quick ratio improved after and acquisition and it is statistically insignificant. In case of the profitability parameters like ROCE, ROA, RONW, Return on long term funds are improved, Return on long term funds, ROCE,ROA are statistically significant but in case of RONW it has decreased after the and acquisition The leverage ratios like debt equity ratio and total debt to long term funds improved after the and acquisition. Both debt equity ratio and total debt to long term funds have increased and statistically significant 37 P a g e

V. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY The period of the study up to 2012, since 3 years post and acquisition performance data are required for the research. The research only confined long term performance measures, so short term returns are not taken in to consideration in the announcements of and acquisition results. The results are not compared with the control firms. VI. CONCLUSION The study shows that the liquidity positions of the and acquisition has improved but it is not statistically insignificant. The results are similar to Pawaskar (2001).the profitability position of the companies has positively increased in terms of return on capital employed, return on long term funds, and return on assets and it declines in terms of return on net worth. the financial performance of the firms improved after in terms of current ratio, liquidity ratio, ROCE, ROA, return on long term funds but most of the ratios are statistically insignificant, the there is a need to further study on the motive behind the and acquisition. Also the financial performance is not only a tool for and acquisition success.
