One main indicator, which may be used as the evaluation base, is the banks financial report. Based on the report, the financial ratio, which is commonly used as the base for evaluating the health level of a bank, can be calculated.

This study uses bi-variate correlation analysis (Pearsons product moment) and multiple regression analysis.

Multiple regression analysis is used for forecasting purpose, where there are dependent and independent variables. The result of this study is an earning ratio (the profit before taxes compared to the total asset), which significantly influences the growth of profit. This study has several limitations, which amongst all is that only 7 ratios are used as independent variables. Other ratios used by Bank Indonesia cannot be fully used because of the unavailability of data. Economic factors, such as inflation, interest rate, government subsidy and so on, have not yet been considered in this study. Those factors may influence the way the company conducts its business, which then influences the analysis result of this study. A financial report has a limitation, too. Each company has different method and policy, which is difficult to be compared and contrasted in the resulted financial report
