Executive Summary
India's share of global aluminium production is hovering around 4-5 per cent. The Indian Aluminium industry
is highly concentrated with only five primary plants in the country from three business houses. The Adyta
Birla Group: Hindustan Aluminium Company Limited (HINDALCO), Vedanta Resources: Bharat
Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO), Madras Aluminium Company Limited (MALCO), Public Sector
Undertaking: National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO).
NALCO Aluminium Company Ltd. truly a national venture to take the country forward in the world of
Aluminium market was incorporated on Jan 7, 1981. NALCO has contributed to India's need for selfsufficiency in Aluminium. NALCO heralded a new era of Aluminium making in the country as well as in the
world acquiring the 5th position. I had been fortunate to be a part ofNALCO Corporate Office, Bhubaneswar
as a summer intern in the field of finance on the topic "Financial statement Analysis ".The project was carried
out with the aim of evaluating the financial statements of the company as it provide valuable insight into a
firm performance. The analysis was done by analyzing the various liquidity ratios, Solvency ratios, activity
turnover ratios, profitability ratios in order to determine the operational efficiency & operations of the
company. Holistic report has been made. Thereafter interpretations are derived from the analysis. The
objective of the project was to understand the financial condition & performance ofNALCO & its financial
strength & weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance sheet"
the profit & loss account and cash flow statement which has been carried out by' applying the methodology of
ratio analysis. .
Study was done taking the period of 3 years ofNALCO from 2010-11 to 2012-13 & data has been collected
from annual reports, internet. To prepare a holistic report is based upon the:
a) The LME price effect on average aluminium price, net profit, net sales of the companies.
b) On the basis of CSR activities undertaken by the companies.
Further based on these financial statement analysis conclusion has been drawn that NALCO's GP margin has
been declining due to economic recession all over the' world. The liquidity analysis depicts that NALCO has
the ability to meet its current obligations. The solvency ratios of NALCO show that NALCO has a good long
solvency position.
Keeping in view of the present scenario ofNALCO, it can work on cost control &increase in profitability. It
can invest in surplus cash to generate returns & try to manage the debtor turnover ratio to higher profitability.
It should aim at increasing the turnover through diversification &
innovation which can increase its sales volume. As the company does not has long term debt so it should aim
to have proper debt-equity ratio which would increase its EPS & gain advantage on its low cost debt.

Objective of the Study:
• To analysis the financial performance progress of NALCO by establishing relationship between the
items of balance sheet and profit and loss Account.
• To identify company strength and weakness of NALCO by in comparison to its competitors.
• To assess the operational efficiency of the management of the company.
• To evaluate the financial condition and performance as well as to study the relationship among various
financial factors and also measures the profitability of the business by the various profitability ratios.
• To have a comparative analysis of the company based upon the holistic report.

CHAPTER-01
(Over view of Aluminium Industry)

GLOBAL STATUS
Today, the global aluminium industry has only a bare resemblance to what it was in the early 1970s. the most
important structural changes are the geographical relocation of bauxite, Alumina and aluminium production
centres; shifts in the degree of concentration and Integration; the emergence of new consuming regions, the
development of new end-use Markets and the threat of substitutes, including recycled metal; the historical
decline in real Prices of the metal and the recent upward shift in the industry cost curve; the market
adjustment Mechanisms and, more recently, the rising popularity of commodities as an asset class.
The main objective of this paper is to highlight and analyze these changes over the last four decades.
Commencing with an identification of the main characteristics of the aluminium industry in the early 1970s,
the paper then examines the main forces or drivers that have deeply modified the structure of the global
aluminium industry, factors such as energy crises, arrival of new players, variations in exchange rates, shifting
trends in aluminium cost curves, and the role of emerging economies. The main characteristics of current
global aluminium Industry is then presented, with a view on future demand and production.

The Global Aluminium Industry in the Early 1970s
The year 1972 saw bauxite production dominated by four countries - Australia, Jamaica, Suriname and USSR
- which together held a 60% global market share. Today, only Australia is on a list of the top six producers.
Even greater changes have occurred in the location of Alumina-producing countries. In 1972, more than 45%
of global alumina production was concentrated in five industrialized countries, poorly- endowed with bauxite
reserves: United States, Japan, Canada, France and Germany. The other major producers were then Australia
(13%), USSR (12%), Jamaica (9%) and Surinam (6%). Today, among the countries Mentioned above, only
Australia is still a significant producer, with alumina production having generally shifted from industrialized
or aluminium producing countries to bauxite producing regions.
Major shifts have also occurred in the geographic location of aluminium production centres. The Combined
share of United States, USSR and Japan reached almost 60% of global primary Production in 1972. Today,
their corresponding share barely exceeds 10%. Norway, Germany and France has also been replaced on the
list of top aluminium producers.
LONDON, Feb. 24, 2014/PRNewswire/-- Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report:

analysis with inputs from industry experts.
The report covers the AP AC and EMEA regions, and the Americas; it also covers the Global Aluminum
market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years.

STATUS OF INDIAN INDUSTRY:
Indian Aluminium Industry was first established in the year 1808 and it took almost 46 years to make its
production commercially viable. The research work of the country took several years and resulted in
extracting the Aluminium from the ore. On earth Aluminium is the third most available element constituting
almost 7.3% by mass. Currently Aluminium is also the second most used metal in the world after steel. Due to
the fact that consistent growth of Indian economy at a rate of 8%, the demand for metals, used for various
sectors, is also on the higher side. As a result, the Indian Aluminium Industry is also growing consistently as
in the year 2009 the aluminium industry in India saw a growth of about 9%.
In the year 1938 the production of Aluminium started in India when the Aluminium Corporation of India's
plant was commissioned. The plant was set up with a financial and technical collaboration with Alcan, Canada
which had a capacity of producing: 2,500 tonnes per annum. In the year 1959 the Hindustan Aluminium
Corporation (Hindalco) was set up; which had a capacity of producing 20,000 tonnes per annum. A public
sector enterprise Malco which had a capacity of 10,000 tonnes per annum was commissioned in 1965. Then
later in the year 1987, National Aluminium Company (NALCO) was commissioned to produce Aluminium
with a capacity of producing 0.218 million tonnes.
Indian Aluminium Industry Government started regulating and controlling during the 1970's. Restrictions in
entry and price distribution controls were common in the Aluminium Industry. Aluminium Control Order has
been implemented where the aluminium producers had to sell 50% of their products for electrical usages in
the country. Later in 1989, the order was removed as the govemment decontrolling was revoked. In the year
1991 with de-licensing of industry, the liberal import of technologies and capital goods was started. The
liberalization resulted in a growth rate of 12% of the industry, comparing to the growth rate of 6% during the
1980.
The Indian per capita Aluminium consumption is less than 1 kg compared to about 3kgs in China and 30 kgs
in the US. The fact that almost 44% of the domestic aluminium is consumed by the electrical sector and there
are only about 300 applications for the metal in India leaves a lot of room for the domestic sector to grow. Just
to put things in perspective, aluminium usage on the global front is tilted towards transportation and
packaging sectors and there are an estimated 3,000 applications for the metal.

Indian aluminium industry on fast growth
Figures and forecasts of a market with great potential
The three major producers of aluminium in India are Hinda1co, Vedanta Group and the state owned Na1co,
who mine/procure bauxite and convert it into aluminium ingots. These three together account for the majority
of share of total domestic aluminium production.

Indian scenario
Bauxite: India is endowed with large deposits of high quality bauxite ore, amounting to almost 5% of the
world's reserves, totaling to about 3 billion tonnes. At 5.3 milliontonnes of aluminium production, (expected
capacities by 2015) these reserves are likely to last for 100 years. At 10 million tonnes per annum production,
which India should reach between 2020 & 2025 our bauxite reserves will last for 45-50 years. Power (Coal):
All Indian primary metal producers have captive power plants. Greenfield smelters are also being planned,
based on captive power generation, using coal. India's 250 bntonnes non-coking coal reserves (proven and
indicated), are the fourth largest in the world. Technical Manpower: India has a formidable pool of manpower
- both skilled and unskilled; to support the manufacture of aluminium, which is a labour-intensive process.
Per Capita Consumption: With the Indian economy projected to be amongst the top five in the world by 2025,
the overall consumption of aluminium is projected to be about 5 million tonnes by 2015, and 10 million
tonnes by 2020. India's consumption has grown at a CAGR of 15% in the last five years, almost double the
word average of 8.1 %. End-use sectors of aluminium. The per capita aluminium consumption in India is just
l.3 kgs, compared to about 12 kgs in China, 28 kgs in the US and 39 kgsin Germany. The world average is 7.4
kgs.
Growing Market & Economical Production: Apart from its potentially large, growing market India has ready
availability of the three important inputs to manufacture aluminium: bauxite, power (coal) and manpower.

Indian aluminium companies are amongst the lowest cost producers of the metal in the world, which is a
significant advantage, especially during times of cyclical downturns. Abundant bauxite reserves and access to
economical manpower give the domestic aluminium manufacturers a competitive advantage.

GDP and consumption growth
Primary aluminium consumption in India has grown from 450 kt in 1991, to 1,140 ktin 2008 and currently
accounts for 3.1 % of global consumption. Total aluminium consumption (primary + recycled) has grown
significantly, at a CAGR of around 15% during 2002-09 and reached 1.5 million tonnes. As per Mckinsey&
Co., "Indian Aluminium use will grow 9 to 11 % to 2.10 to 2.75 million tonnes, by 20 15". The aluminium
consumption follows the GDP growth curve, hence these would also be growth drivers for the consumption of
aluminium. The major sectors contributing to Indian aluminium consumption growth are Electrical (Power),
Building and Construction, Packaging and Transportation. These sectors are expected to grow in double digits
in the next decade, to reach a per capita consumption of approx 10 kg. To be in line with China's per capita
consumption in 2020, consumption in India has to reach 10 million tonnes.

Planned growthin Indian aluminium production
The Indian aluminium industry's enthusiasm to grow smelting capacity on an ambitious scale here and abroad
- the wanderlust is that of Nalco - was not dimmed in any way by the adverse performance of the metal during
the recession. According to sources, Nalco is working to give shape to three mega projects simultaneously,
including a $4-billion 500,000 tonnes smelter along with a captive 1,250 power complex at East Kalimantan
in Indonesia. Nalco is also pursuing a project of similar configuration at Jharsuguda in Orissa. The promised
access to 80 million tonnes of bauxite deposits at Gudem and KR Konda in Andhra Pradesh will also lead
Nalco to build a 1.4-million tonne alumina refinery in the state.
Hindalco has also got big things on its plate. If all its projects get commissioned on revised schedule, then
Hindalco will see its smelting capacity rising to 1.7 million tonnes from 500,000 tonnes and alumina refining
capacity to 6.5 million tonnes from 1.7 million tonnes by 2013. Meanwhile, Novelisacquisition has given
Hindalco global leadership in that value added segment where path breaking technologies are in application.
Vedanta has arrived on the Indian aluminium scene much later than Hindalco and Nalco. While it has made up
for the lost time by gaining control of Balco and Madras Aluminium, Vedanta is aggressively building new
capacity through greenfield .and brownfield routes.

India to face major aluminium surplus by 2013
Aluminium industry in India is moving towards overcapacity, since supply is likely to grow in excess of
demand going forward. Considering that all aluminium projects would begin commercial production with
expanded capacity as planned, there could be at least 2 million tonnes of additional capacity for exports by
2013. Fitch Ratings report recently said that India's aluminium productions will more than treble to 4.4
Million tonnes by mid 2012 with new capacities coming on stream, along with requisite captive Power
generation capacities.

CHAPTER-02
(COMPANY PROFILE)

COMPANY PROFILE:
NATIONAL ALUMINUM COMPANY LIMITED (NALCO) The East Coast bauxite discovery led to the
setting up of India's largest Alumina-Aluminium complex, National Aluminium Company Ltd (NALCO) in
1981 following technical collaboration agreement with Aluminium Pechiney of France. The project cost of
Rs.2,408 crore was part financed by 980 million euro dollar loan extended by a consortium of International
banks. The Company has long back prepaid the loan, besides contributing more than Rs.16,000 crore to
Central and State exchequer as tax and duties etc, besides having huge cash reserve for future growth
activities.
Presently, Govt. of India holds 87.15% share in NALCO. It is an integrated and diversified mining, metal and
power group "A” CPSE with annual sales of' 6,370 cores in FYI 0-11. The Company has bulk shipment
facilities at Vizag port, besides utilizing the facilities at Kolkata and Paradeep ports.
With the emergence of NALCO on the aluminium scene, there has been a quantum jump in alumina and
aluminium production in the country. NALCO is the 1 st Public Sector Company in the country to venture
into International market in a big way with LME registration since May 1989. Export sales account for almost
30-35% of its turnover with business in more than 30 countries in recent past. Its alumina and metal enjoy
premium in world market on account of quality and international standard.
The production units at NALCO are operating consistently near or more than 100% capacity. Due to its
consistent track record in managing operations and improving costs and output, the Company has been
accorded prestigious Navratna status by' Govt. of India in 2008. NALCO is one of the lowest cost producers
of alumina and aluminium in the world.
In addition to existing operations, NALCO has extensive plans for brown field and green field expansion
projects worth ' 40,000 crore in the country and abroad. Further, the Company has taken up steps for
commissioning of allotted coal block (Utkal-E in Odisha) at a cost of' 338 crore. At the same time, to offset
the vagaries of international market related to aluminium, NALCO is looking beyond its core strength and
venturing into other metals and energy sectors. NALCO has signed agreement with Nuclear Power
Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) to form a joint venture Company for establishment of2X 700 MW
nuclear power plants at Kakrapara in Gujarat, where the construction work has already started. To harness the
non-conventional energy source, the Company is setting up a wind power project of 50.4 MW capacity in
Andhra Pradesh for which order has been placed in June, 2011. The Company has also been shortlisted by
Govt. of Gujarat for alumina refinery 10.8 NALCO has plans to set up thermal power plants as independent
power project (IPP) and even Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPP) and exploring for solar plants also. Further,
the Company is developing bauxite mines (Gudem and KR Konda in Andhra Pradesh and likely to start
Pottangi in Odisha); besides setting up forward and backward integration projects.
Leveraging the technical collaboration with Aluminium Pechiney (now Rio Tinto Alcan) since 1982, NALCO
has continued to add value and is poised to grow further.

CONCEPT OF RATIO ANALYSIS
DEFINATION:Ratio analysis is a tool used by individuals to conduct a quantitative analysis of information in a company
financial statement. Ratios are calculated from current year numbers & then compared previous year, other
companies & industries or even, the economy to judge the performance of the company. Ratio analysis is
predominately used by proponents of fundamental analysis.
Objectives of Ratio Analysis
Financial ratios are true test of the profitability, efficiency and financial soundness of the firm. These ratios
have following objectives:
(1) Measuring the profitability: Profitability is the profit earning capacity of the business. This can be
measured by Gross Profit, Net Profit, Expenses and Other Ratios. If these ratios fall we can take
corrective measures.
(2) Determining operational efficiency: Operational efficiency of the business can be determined by
calculating operating / activity ratios.
(3) Measuring financial position: Short-term and long-term financial position of the business can be
measured by calculating liquidity and solvency ratios. In case of unhealthy short or long-term position,
corrective measures can be taken.
(4) Facilitating comparative analysis: Present performance can be compared with past performance to
discover the plus and minus points. Comparison with the performance of other competitive firms can also
be made.
(5) Indicating overall efficiency: Profit and Loss Account shows the amount of net profit and Balance Sheet
shows the amount of various assets, liabilities and capital. But the profitability can be known by
calculating the financial ratios.
(6) Budgeting and forecasting: Ratio "analysis is of much help in financial forecasting and planning. Ratios
calculated for a number of years work as a guide for the future. Meaningful conclusions can be drawn for
future from these ratios.

It simplifies the financial statements.
It helps in comparing companies of different size with each other.
It helps in trend analysis which involves comparing a single company over a period.
It highlights important information in simple form quickly. A user can judge a company by just
looking at few numbers instead of reading the whole financial statements.

Limitations
Despite usefulness, financial ratio analysis has some disadvantages. Some key demerits of financial ratio
analysis are:

1. Different companies operate in different industries each having different environmental conditions such
as regulation, market structure, etc. Such factors are so significant that a comparison of two companies
from different industries might be misleading.
2. Financial accounting information is affected by estimates and assumptions. Accounting standards allow
different accounting policies, which impairs comparability and hence ratio analysis is less useful in such
situations.
3. Ratio analysis explains relationships between past information while users are more concerned about
current and future information.

Ratios and Formulas in Customer Financial Analysis
Financial statement analysis is a judgmental process. One of the primary objectives is identification of major
changes in trends, and relationships and the investigation of the reasons underlying those changes. The
judgment process can be improved by experience and the use of analytical tools. Probably the most widely
used financial analysis technique is ratio analysis, the analysis of relationships between two or more line items
on the financial statement. Financial ratios are usually expressed - in percentage or times. Generally, financial
ratios are calculated for the purpose of evaluating aspects of a company's operations and fall into the
following categories:
• Liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations.
• Profitability ratios measure management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the
resources committed to the business.
• Leverage ratios measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long-term funds and can also aid in
judging a firm's ability to raise additional debt and its capacity to pay its liabilities on time.
• Efficiency, activity or turnover ratios provide information about management's ability to control
expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business.
A ratio can be computed from any pair of numbers. Given the large quantity of variables included in financial
statements, a very long list of meaningful ratios can be derived. A standard list of ratios or standard
computation of them does not exist. The following ratio presentation includes ratios that are most often used
when evaluating the credit worthiness of a customer. Ratio analysis becomes a very personal or company
driven procedure. Analysts are drawn to and use the ones they are comfortable with and understand.

Liquidity Ratio:1. Working Capital
Working Capital compares Current Assets Current Liabilities, and serves as the liquid reserve available to
satisfy contingencies and uncertainties. A high Working Capital balance is mandated if the entity is unable to
borrow on short notice. The ratio indicates the short-term solvency of a business and in determining if a firm
can pay its current liabilities when due.

2. Acid Test or Quick Ratio
A measurement of the liquidity position of the business. The quick ration compares the cash plus cash
equivalents and accounts receivable to the current liabilities. The primary difference between the current ratio
and the quick ratio is the quick ratio does not include inventory and prepaid expenses in the calculation.
Consequently, a business’s quick ratio will be lower than its current ratio. It is a stringent test of liquidity.

INTERPRETATION (Quick Ratio):The quick ratio of Company is more than satisfactory. The ideal quick ratio is 1:1. But last four year shows
quick ratio of 1.82, 1.88, 1.78 and 1.94 respectively. It shows the liquid cash position is much more. It is
better to invest liquid cash more profitable manner.

3. Current Ratio
It provides an indication of the liquidity of the business by comparing the amount of current assets to current
liabilities. A business's current assets generally consist of cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and
inventories. Current liabilities include accounts payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued income
taxes, and other accrued expenses that are due within one year. In general, businesses prefer to have at least
one dollar of current assets for every dollar of current liabilities. However, the normal current ratio fluctuates
from industry to industry. A current ratio significantly higher than the industry average could indicate the
existence of redundant assets. Conversely, a current ratio significantly lowers than the industry average could
indicate a lack of liquidity.

has shown a decline due to decrease in sales. The Gross Profit ratio decline indicates cost rise to manpower,
inefficiency in proper management of input materials and other element of cost. Further, this may be due to
global slowdown in Aluminium and inability to increase sales price.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Cash flow statements and projections express a business's results or plans in terms of cash in and out of the
business, without adjusting for accrued revenues and expenses. The cash flow statement doesn't show whether
the business will be profitable, but if does show the cash position of the business at any given point in time by
measuring revenue against outlays.
The cash flow statement should be prepared on a monthly basis during the first year, on a quarterly basis for
the second year, and annually for the third year. The following 17 items are listed in the order they need to
appear on your cash flow statement:



Cash refers to cash on hand in the business.
Cash sales are income from sales paid for by cash.


















Receivables are income from the collection of money owed to the business resulting from sales.
Other income is income from investments, interest on loans that have been extended, and the
liquidation of any assets.
Total income is the sum of total cash, cash sales, receivables and other income.
Material/merchandise is the raw material used in the manufacture of a product (for manufacturing
operations only), the cash outlay for merchandise inventory (for merchandisers such as wholesalers
and retailers), or the supplies used in the performance of a service.
Direct labour is the labour required to manufacture a product (for manufacturing operations only) or
to perform a service.
Overhead is all fixed and variable expenses required for the operations of the business.
Marketing/sales is all salaries, commissions and other direct costs associated with the marketing and
sales departments.
R&D is labour expenses required to support the research and development' operations of the business.
G&A is labour expenses required to support the general and administrative functions of the business.
Taxes are all taxes, except payroll, paid to the appropriate government institutions.
Capital represents the capital requirements to obtain any equipment needed to generate income.
Loan payments are the total of all payments made to reduce any long-term debts.
Total expenses are the sum of material, direct labour, overhead expenses, marketing, sales, R&D,
G&A, taxes, capital and loan payments.
Cash flow is the difference between total income and total expenses. This amount is carried over to
the next period as beginning cash.
Cumulative cash now is the difference between current cash flow and cash flow from the previous
period.

Objective.
Information about the cash flows of an enterprise is useful in providing users of financial statements with a
basis to assess the ability of the enterprise togenerate cash and cash equivalents and the needs of the enterprise
toutilizethose cash flows. The economic decisions that are taken by users require an evaluation of the ability
of an enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents and the timing and certainty of their generation.
The Standard deals with the provision of information about the historical changes in cash and cash equivalents
of an enterprise by means of cash flow statement which classifies cash flows during the period from
operating, investing and financing activities.

Scope

1) An enterprise should prepare a cash flow statement and should present it for each period for which
financial statements are presented.
2) Users of an enterprise's financial statements are interested in how the enterprise generates and uses
cash and cash equivalents. This is the case regardless of the nature' of the enterprise's activities and
irrespective of whether cash can be viewed as the product of the enterprise, as may be the case with a
financial enterprise. Enterprises need cash for essentially the same reasons, however different their
principal revenue- producing activities might be. They need cash to conduct their operations, to' pay
their obligations, and to provide returns to their investors.

Benefits of Cash Flow Information
3) A cash flow statement, when used in conjunction with the other financial statements, provides
information that enables users to evaluate the changes in net assets of an enterprise, its financial
structure (including its liquidity and solvency} and its ability to affect the amounts and timing of cash
flows in order to adapt 1'0 changing circumstances and opportunities. Cash flow information is useful
in assessing the ability of the enterprise to generate cash and cash equivalents and enables users to
develop models to assess and compare the present value of the future cash flows of different
enterprises. It also enhances the comparability of the reporting of operating performance by different
enterprises because it eliminates the effects of using different accounting treatments for the same
transactions and events.
4) Historical cash flow information is often used as an indicator of the amount, timing and certainty of
future cash flows. It is also useful in checking the accuracy of past assessments of future cash flows
and in examining the relationship between profitability and net cash flow and the impact of changing
prices.

Presentation of a Cash Flow Statement
(1)
(2)

(3)

The cash flow statement should report cash flows during the period Classified by operating, investing
and financing activities.
An enterprise presents its cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in a manner
which is most appropriate to its business. Classification by activity provides information that allows
users to assess the impact of those activities on the financial position of the enterprise and the amount
of its cash and cash equivalents. This information may also be used to evaluate the relationships
among those activities.
A single transaction may include cash flows that are classified differently. For example, when the
instalment paid in respect of a fixed asset acquired on deferred payment basis includes both interest

and loan, the interest element is classified under financing activities and the loan element is classified
under investing activities.

Operating Activities

(4)

The amount of cash flows arising from operating activities is a key indicator of the extent to which the
operations of the enterprise have generated sufficient cash flows to maintain the operating capability of
the enterprise, pay dividends, repay loans and make new investments without recourse to external
sources of financing. Information about the specific components of historical operating cash flows is
useful, in conjunction with other information, in forecasting future operating cash flows.
Cash flows from operating activities are primarily derived from the principal revenue-producing
activities of the enterprise. Therefore, they generally result from the transactions and other events that
enter into the determination of net profit or loss. Examples of cash flows from operating activities are:
Cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services;
Cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue;
Cash payments to suppliers for goods and services;
Cash payments to and on behalf of employees;
Cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance enterprise for Premiums and claims, annuities and
other policy benefits;
Cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can be specifically identified with financing and
investing activities; and
Cash receipts and payments relating to futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap
contracts when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes.
Some transactions, such as the sale of an item of plant, may give rise to a gain or loss which is
included in the determination of net profit or loss. However, the cash flows relating to such
transactions are cash flows from investing activities.
An enterprise may hold securities and loans for dealing or trading purposes, in which case they are
similar to inventory acquired specifically for resale. Therefore, cash flows arising from the purchase
and sale of dealing or trading securities are classified as operating activities. Similarly, cash advances
and loans made by financial enterprises are usually classified as operating activities since they relate to
the main revenue-producing activity of that enterprise.

Investing Activities
The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from investing activities is important because the cash flows
represent the extent to which expenditures have been made for resources intended to generate future income
and cash flows. Examples of cash flows arising from investing activities are:
a) Cash payments to acquire fixed assets (including intangibles). These payments include those relating
to capitalized research and development costs and self-constructed fixed assets;
b) Cash receipts from disposal of fixed assets (including intangibles);
c) Cash payments to acquire shares, warrants or debt instruments of other enterprises and interests in
joint ventures (other than payments for those instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those
held for dealing or trading purposes);

d) Cash receipts from disposal of shares, warrants or debt instruments of other enterprises and interests in
joint ventures (other than receipts from those instruments considered to be cashequivalents and those
held for dealing or trading purposes);
e) Cash advances and loans made to third parties (other than advances and loans made by a financial
enterprise);
f) Cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to third parties (other than advances
and loans of a financial enterprise);
g) Cash payments for futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts except

Financing Activities
1. The separate disclosure of cash flows arising from financing activities is important because it is useful in
predicting claims on future cash flows by providers of funds (both capital and borrowings) to the
enterprise. Examples of cash flows arising from financing activities are:
a) Cash proceeds from issuing shares or other similar instruments;
b) Cash proceeds from issuing debentures, loans, 'notes, bonds, and other short or long-term borrowings;
and
c) Cash repayments of amounts borrowed.

INTERPRETATION:During the year 2012-2014 the net cash flow of NALCO is increasing. That shows the better cash
management by the company, company also gain continuously due to depreciation of Rupees i.e gain from
foreign exchange. Working capital loan facilities is mortgaged by hypothecation of raw material, stock in
progress, finished goods, consumable, stores and spares, book depths, receivable and other current assets of
the company.

Thus from 2011-2012 the income has increased from Rs 7154 crore to Rs 7428 crore but Net Profit has
decreased from 2011-2012 from Rs 850 crore to Rs 593 crore. The income shown above is fully dependent on
the London metal Market & the net profit is calculated in different aspect keeping in mind the cost factor of
production. So in 2012-2013 the net profit is decreased due to the maintenance & raw material increase in
price.

The average price of aluminium on LME in 2011-2012 was $2317 per compared to $ 1976 in 2012-2013.

CONCLUSION:
I would like to conclude that NALCO has travelled a long distance in pursuit of excellence in all the areas of
its performance, for which it has become a world class company.













Organization is based on the traditional approach on financing total funds i.e. Shareholders fund.
Organization is base on financing its working capital on conservative approach.
The organization is constantly improving its reserve and surplus which a good sign strengthening
future financial stabilities.
 Operating expenses of organization are to be improved the profitability of the, organization.
Liquidity Ratio:
It shows that NALCO has the ability to meet its current obligations. It doesn't suffer from excess
liabilities. It thus has a proper balance between high liquidity & lack of liability. It's a good sign for
NALCO as the creditors would definitely extend credit because of the satisfactory liquidity position
ofNalco.
Solvency Ratios:
The solvency ratios ofNALCO show that at present Nalco is debt free company or a zero debt company
hence there is no debt holder of NALCO& therefore it doesn't pay the fixed interest. Thus the solvency
ratio ofNALCO shows that it has a good long-term solvency position.
Activity Ratios:
The activity ratios show the speed with which the assets are converted to sales. The efficiencies in turning
its inventories ratio has considerable which despite, that NALCO is in the position to sell its stock quickly.
The company debtor turnover ratio has increased for some as well as decreases for some year but in' the
present year i.e.20 12-13 it has decreased which despite that the company operates on cash basis and
collection of account receivables is efficient enough.
Profitability Ratios:
The primary objective of a business concern is to earn profits which is required not only for existence but
also for expansion & diversification. The profitability ratio of NALCO has good one.

RECOMMENDATION
From the analysis of Balance sheet & Income statement of NALCO, some of the recommendations to the
company are as follows:-










The sales volume of NALCO is low. Therefore NALCO should aim to increase its turnover through
diversification & innovation.
One of the major concerns of NALCO is its declining profit. It should aim at working on it by
controlling it operating expenses. Raw material, power & fuel constitute the majority of operating
expenses. The company may go for backward integration for critical raw materials like coal, caustic
soda & lime. It may acquire more coal mines to keep power cost competitive.
It should transform from being only an aluminium producer & energy provider.
The EPS of NALCO has been showing a declining trend. The company should aim to maximize value
& long-term return it shareholders through a strategy of new investment & cost competitive mines.
The company has lots of stagnate cash. It should go for investments. The cash which remain stagnate
should be invest to increase profit.
The company has no long-term debt in its capital structure. The company should aim to have a proper
debt equity ratio in order to improve its EPS & gain advantages of low cost debt.
It should develop a powerful scientific & technical base. A part from investments in volume growth,
the company shall substantially finance R & D & modernization.
