A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.

DSRI=(Receivables_t / Revenue_t) / (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)
=(285.883 / 4319.759) / (366.825 / 6275.43)
=0.06618 / 0.058454

Gross margin has deteriorated when this index is above 1. A firm with poorer prospects is more likely to manipulate earnings.

GMI=GrossMargin_t-1 / GrossMargin_t
=(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) / (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
=(1062.167 / 6275.43) / (513.418 / 4319.759)
=0.169258 / 0.118853

=(1 - (2511.789 + 135.585) / 2737.967) / (1 - (1943.349 + 164.939) / 2179.108)

SGI=Sales_t / Sales_t-1
=Revenue_t / Revenue_t-1
=4319.759 / 6275.43
=0.6884

5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.

DEPI greater than 1 indicates that assets are being depreciated at a slower rate. This suggests that the firm might be revising useful asset life assumptions upwards, or adopting a new method that is income friendly.

DEPI=(Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) / (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t))
=(58.015 / (58.015 + 164.939)) / (64.139 / (64.139 + 135.585))
=0.260211 / 0.321138
=0.8103

Note: If the Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization data is not available, we assume that the depreciation rate is constant and set the Depreciation Index to 1.

6. SGAI = Sales, General and Administrative expenses Index

The ratio of Selling, General, & Admin. Expense(SGA) to Sales in year t relative to year t-1.

SGA expenses index > 1 means that the company is becoming less efficient in generate sales.

SGAI=(SGA_t / Sales_t) / (SGA_t-1 /Sales_t-1)
=(693.049 / 4319.759) / (682.472 / 6275.43)
=0.160437 / 0.108753
=1.4752

7. LVGI = Leverage Index

The ratio of total debt to Total Assets in year t relative to yeat t-1.

An LVGI > 1 indicates an increase in leverage

LVGI=((LTD_t + CurrentLiabilities_t) / TotalAssets_t) / ((LTD_t-1 + CurrentLiabilities_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1)
=((48.749 + 556.009) / 2737.967) / ((79.674 + 712.091) / 2179.108)
=0.220878 / 0.363344
=0.6079

8. TATA = Total Accruals to Total Assets

=(NetIncome_t - NonOperatingIncome_t - CashFlowsfromOperations_t) / TotalAssets_t
=(-376.269 - 0 - 13.203) / 2737.967
