The phrase I rememeber from exam questions about accounts was "apply a few key ratios".
A good one is % Return on capital employed. The profit figure itself is a good starting point- if the company has madea big loss then that's a clue that things may not look too good.
Any accounting/business finance textbook or website will give you some ratios/measures to use
