INTRODUCTION

The project work is conducted to study the organisation and financial aspect of Trivandrum Regional Co-operative Milk Producers Union Ltd, Thrivananthapuram. This study helps us to know about the overall performance of the company. We can know about the performance of different departments through this study. Analysis of financial statement is an attempt to measure the enterprise liquidity, profitability, solvency and other indicators to assess its agencies concerned. Some of the agencies in financial concerns of enterprise include investors, bankers, lenders, suppliers, customers, employers, management and regulatory authorities like tax authorities and company law board. The agencies have diverse and conflicting interests. Finance is regarded as the lifeblood of business enterprise. This is because in modern economy finance is one of the basic foundations of all kind of economic activity. Financial statements are final product of accounting work done during the accounting period. Financial statements are prepared with view to depict financial position of concern. A proper analysis and interpretation of statement enables a person to judge the profitability and financial strength of a business. Financial statement normally includes Balance sheet and profit and loss account. The contents of financial statement are board report , director‘s responsibility statement, management discussion and analysis, auditor‘s report, report on corporate governance, balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement, segment report. The systematic process of critical examination of the financial information contained in financial statement is called financial statement analysis. Financial analysis deals with the use of financial data in the evaluation of current and past performance of an enterprise and to assess its sustainability in future. This implies that the person attempting to make financial analysis should not only be in command of appropriate financial analysis tools and techniques, but must be a craftsman to make a creative and imaginative use if such tools and techniques. Financial analysis can be used for variety if decision context such as security analysis, analysis of credit worthiness, credit analysis, debt analysis, dividend decision, mergers etc.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

PROFILE OF DIARY INDUSTRY

Milk and milk based industries play a very important role in the world. Internationalization reminds a key focus for almost of the world‘s leading dairy farms. All the world‘s largest dairy farms operating more than one country and some of them are truly international with activities in every part of the world. The availability and distribution of milk and milk products, in the modern world is blend of the centuries old knowledge of traditional milk products with the application of modern science and technology. Diary is a place where handling of milk and milk products done. In developed dairying countries, the year 1850 is seen as the dividing line between farm and factory scale production. The rural areas were identified for milk production where as the urban centers were selected for the location of milk processing plants and product manufacturing factories. These plants and factories were rapidly expanded and modernized with improved machinery and equipment to secure the various advantages of large scale production. Before 1900, nearly all the milk was delivered as raw milk. Milk was first delivered in bottles on January 11, 1878.Once pasteurization was introduced, it developed rapidly. Mechanical refrigeration helped in the rapid development of the factory system of market milk distribution. A doubling in the price of wholesale milk over the past year is creating havoc among food manufactures, prompting warning about the food price inflation in U.K .Aid organizations have also raised concerns about the depletion of government stockpiles of milk power. In the western world today, cow milk is produced on an industrial scale. It is by far the most commonly consumed form of milk in the world. Commercial dairy farming using automated milking equipments produce the vast majority of milk in the developed countries. The following are the major global players in this field,    Nestle (Switzerland) Dean Foods(USA) Kraft (USA)

Dairy Farmers of America(USA) Fonterra (New Zealand) Danone (France) Parmalat (Italy) Arla (Denmark)

Nevertheless, in spite of these players, India is the largest producer of dairy products and milk followed by USA and China. A dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting of animal milk – mostly from cows or goats, but also from buffalo, sheep, horses or camels – for human consumption. A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or section of a multipurpose farm that is concerned with the harvesting of milk. Terminology differs between countries. For example, in the United States, a farm building where milk is harvested is often called a "milking parlor". In New Zealand such a building is historically known as a "milking shed" or "milking parlour" (note the different spelling). Sometimes milking sheds are referred to by their type, such as "herring bone shed" or "pit parlour". In some countries, especially those with small numbers of animals being milked, as well as harvesting the milk from an animal, the dairy may also process the milk into butter, cheese and yogurt, for example. This is a traditional method of producing specialist milk products, especially in Europe. In the United States a dairy can also be a place that processes, distributes and sells dairy products, or a room, building or establishment where milk is stored and processed into milk products, such as butter or cheese. In New Zealand English the singular use of the word dairy almost exclusively refers to the corner convenience store, or superette. This usage is historical as such stores were a common place for the public to buy milk products. As an attributive, the word dairy refers to milk-based products, veil, derivatives and processes, and the animals and workers involved in their production: for example dairy cattle, dairy goat. A dairy farm produces milk and a dairy factory processes it into a variety of dairy products. These establishments constitute the dairy industry, a component of the food industry.

Milk producing animals have been domesticated for thousands of years. Initially, they were part of the subsistence farming that nomads engaged in. As the community moved about the country, their animals accompanied them. Protecting and feeding the animals were a big part of the symbiotic relationship between the animals and the herders. In the more recent past, people in agricultural societies owned dairy animals that they milked for domestic and local (village) consumption, a typical example of a cottage industry. The animals might serve multiple purposes (for example, as a draught animal for pulling a plough as a youngster, and at the end of its useful life as meat). In this case the animals were normally milked by hand and the herd size was quite small, so that all of the animals could be milked in less than an hour—about 10 per milker. These tasks were performed by a dairymaid (dairywoman) or dairyman. With industrialisation and urbanisation, the supply of milk became a commercial industry, with specialised breeds of cattle being developed for dairy, as distinct from beef or draught animals. Initially, more people were employed as milkers, but it soon turned to mechanisation with machines designed to do the milking. Historically, the milking and the processing took place close together in space and time: on a dairy farm. People milked the animals by hand; on farms where only small numbers are kept, hand-milking may still be practiced. Hand-milking is accomplished by grasping the teats (often pronounced tit or tits) in the hand and expressing milk either by squeezing the fingers progressively, from the udder end to the tip, or by squeezing the teat between thumb and index finger, then moving the hand downward from udder towards the end of the teat. The action of the hand or fingers is designed to close off the milk duct at the udder (upper) end and, by the movement of the fingers, close the duct progressively to the tip to express the trapped milk. Each half or quarter of the udder is emptied one milk-duct capacity at a time. The stripping action is repeated, using both hands for speed. Both methods result in the milk that was trapped in the milk duct being squirted out the end into a bucket that is supported between the knees (or rests on the ground) of the milker, who usually sits on a low stool. Traditionally the cow, or cows, would stand in the field or paddock while being milked. Young stock, heifers, would have to be trained to remain still to be milked. In many

7

countries, the cows were tethered to a post and milked. The problem with this method is that it relies on quiet, tractable beasts, because the hind end of the cow is not restrained. In 1937, it was found that bovine somatotropin (BST or bovine growth hormone) would increase the yield of milk. Monsanto Company developed a synthetic (recombinant) version of this hormone (rBST). In February 1994, rBST was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the U.S. It has become common in the U.S., but not elsewhere, to inject it into milch kine dairy cows to increase their production by up to 15%. However, there are claims that this practice can have negative consequences for the animals themselves. A European Union scientific commission was asked to report on the incidence of mastitis and other disorders in dairy cows, and on other aspects of the welfare of dairy cows. The commission's statement, subsequently adopted by the European Union, stated that the use of rBST substantially increased health problems with cows, including foot problems, mastitis and injection site reactions, impinged on the welfare of the animals and caused reproductive disorders. The report concluded that on the basis of the health and welfare of the animals, rBST should not be used. Health Canada prohibited the sale of rBST in 1999; the recommendations of external committees were that, despite not finding a significant health risk to humans, the drug presented a threat to animal health and, for this reason, could not be sold in Canada

DAIRY DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
The dairy sector in India has shown remarkable development in the past decay and India has now become one of the largest producers of milk and value added milk products in the world. The dairy sector has developed through co-operatives in many parts of the state. During 1997 – 1998 the state has 60 milk processing plants with an aggregate processing capacity of 5.8 million litres per day in addition to these processing plants, 123 government and 33 co-operative milk chilling centers operate in the state. More than 2445 million people economically active in agriculture in the world.probably2/3 or even more ¾ of them are wholly or partially depended on livestock farming. India is endeavored with rich flora and fauna and continuous to be vital avenue for employment and income generation, especially in rural areas. India, which has 66% of economically active population engaged in agriculture. In India the market milk technology

8

may be considered to have commenced in 1950, with functioning of the Central Dairy of Aarey Milk Colony and milk product technology in 1956 with the establishment of Amul Dairy, Anand. The industry is still in its infancy and barely 10% of the total milk production undergoes organized handling. India achieved the distinction of becoming the world‘s largest milk producer in the year. The milk production in India is over 110million tones with Utter Pradesh leading the highest among Indian states. Started in 1970, the three phases of Operation Flood have pushed India‘s milk from 21 million tons to 110 million tons in 2008.The growth in the milk definitely surpassed the growth in grains and cereals and today milk is India‘s number one farm produce worth Rs 1,00,000 crores annually. In spite of being the World‘s milk producer, India‘s milk processing industry is not very large. Only 12% of milk is delivered to dairies against the world average of 70%. Bulk of Indian milk is utilized for drinking or in the unorganized sector processing industry can be divided in to three segments    Government/ Semi government Co-operatives Private sector. With expectation of a few units, the processing industry is largely involved either in a liquid pasteurized milk of conversion of milk to milk powder and ghee. Most domestic processor does not have the quality or the marketing knowledge to access the international market. In India, majority of the milk market remains with the co-operatives which were formed under Operational Flood all over India. The Milk Marketing Federations and its affiliated Districts Milk Unions control majority of the milk market in the organized sector. The major brands in India are   Amul (Gujarat) Verka (Punjab)

     

Milma (Kerala) Nandini (Karnataka) Vijay (Andhra Pradesh) Aavin (Tamilnadu) Parag (Maharashtra) Mother Diary (Delhi) There are few other major private companies which are in the forefront of the diary

product marketing such as Britannia, Nestle and Cadbury etc. New international players such as Anchor Fonterra, Compina, Landolakes etc are expected to enter the Indian market within a short period of time. Indian diary sector is said to witness a number of new alliances and partnerships. Consolidation is already taking place in the market with Mother Dairy entering into the joint ventures with the various state co-operatives and Britannia in tie-up with Fonterra etc. Overall the Indian industry is experiencing an upheaval with the new products launches, repositioning of brands and entry of newer players.

Operation Flood
During 1960‘s milk production in India was concentrated only in rural areas. In Gujarat the farmers owned Co-operative Societies formed namely Anand Milk Union Ltd (AMUL). It was mainly integrated in production, procurement and processing and marketing on Co-operative lines. Operation Flood was launched in 1970 and the main objective of the program was to increase the milk production in rural areas and to supply the excess milk to the nearest dairies. Operation Flood was introduced under National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) which functions as the technical consultant. This NDDB was stated under the Societies Act and these societies are known as Anand Pattern Co-operative Societies (APCOS). These societies get financial aid from Indian Dairy Corporate.

10

Operation Flood is intended to reduce regional imbalances in dairy development in underdeveloped regions. It was a remuneration linking of rural milk procuring centers with urban demand centers. The various phase of Operation Flood include;  First phase aims at the procurement of milk from rural surplus areas to the

urban deficit areas.  Second phase was started during 1980‘s its outlay was 29 crores and was

utilized for the construction of dairies. Kerala was included in the second phase of Operation Flood.

Anand Pattern
A success story on the dairy scheme in India during the sixties was the farmer owned Amul co-operative in Anand (Khaira district, Gujarat) with its integrated approach to production, procurement, processing and making on co-operative lines. Over the years this evolved in to a model based on self-rule by farmers ensuring maximum returns to them. This model came to be known as Anand pattern. The efficiency of this model was worth replication. There for a dairy programme called ―OPERATION FLOOD‖ was launched in 1970 under the aegis of National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) ANAND Pattern is a 3-tier structure consisting of 

PROFILE OF TRCMPU LTD ABOUT KCMMF
Kerala co-operative milk marketing federation (KCMMF) popularly known as "M1LMA" was established in 1980, with its head office at Thiruvananthapuram for the successful implementation of the second programme "OPERATION FLOOD" in Kerala. During the last 3 decades the sector witnessed uninterrupted growth in terms of animal population and milk production. Milk co-operative is a form of economic organization in which farmers willfully and voluntarily pool their resources on the basis of equality for the advancement of their economic interest. The guiding principle of a cooperative is basically "self-help through mutual help". This basic idea has been defined in various forms such as "each for all and all for each", of the people, by the people, and for the people", "common welfare through common action" etc. Co-operative dairying is the most outstanding form of agricultural cooperation. The co-operative dairy is an agency, which carries out the functions of promotions procurement, processing and marketing of milk and milk products. The main aim of dairy co-operative is to ensure continuous hygienic liquid milk to consumers and remunerative return to producers. In India one organized efforts were made for the development of dairy co-operatives before the launching of five year plans. The Anand Milk Union Limited (AMUL) was the pioneer venture in cooperative Dairy sector. It provided a model for the milk producer's cooperative in Gujarat and other states, which played an important role not only in increasing milk production but improving the status of the members too. In Kerala, a major breakthrough in this direction was made with the establishment of the Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (KCMMF) popularly known as MILMA in 1980. The launching of MILMA was part of the "OPERATION FLOOD" second programme, the central objectives of which was to channelize milk from surplus rural areas to deficit urban areas in such a way as to maximize the return of both producers and consumers. Eventually, in April 1983 MILMA took over the revenue earning activities of all the dairies and chilling plants from Kerala Live Stock Development and milk Marketing Board (KLD&MMB).

marketing of milk products for the farming community. To built up a viable industry in the state. To provide constant market and stable price farmers for their produce.

ASSOCIATES OF KCMMF
Milma is in constant touch with other organizations in this sector. It is only through this active exchange that rnilma grew from a small dairy cooperative to the position it holds in Kerala today.  National Dairy Development Board NDDB, under Dr. V Kurian's guidance set up KCMMF in 1980. Ever since then, there has been a very close co-operation between NDDB and the federation. NDDB are the originators of the Operation Flood Programme and have been our funding agent for the Operation Flood Projects in Kerala  Amul The dairy co-operatives of Gujarat have been the inspiration for the development of such a vast network of dairy co-operatives in Kerala. Among the co-operatives in Gujarat, the Kerala District co-operative Milk Producers Unions (Amul) is the first in this sector. Our co-operatives are called "Anand Pattern Co-operative Societies" following the illustrious lineage of "Amul".

LITERATURE REVIEW

20

THEORETICAL ASSESMENT
Financial statements are the summarized statements of accounting data produced at the end of the accounting process by an enterprise through which it communicates accounting information to internal and external users. They are prepared for the purpose of presenting a periodical review or report of the progress made by the concern. Financial statement includes mainly 2 statements which the account prepares at the end of given period. They are income statement (P&L A/c) and position statement (Balance Sheet). The purpose of preparing profit and loss account is to ascertain the net results of the trading activity and that of balance sheet is to show the financial position of the business. ACCORDING TO JOHN N MYER ―The financial statement provides the summary of accounts of a business enterprise, the balance sheet reflecting the assets and liabilities and income statement showing the results of operation during certain period‖.

NATURE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The nature and accuracy of the data shown in the financial depends on the following facts: 1. Recorded facts

The term recorded facts refer to the data taken out from the accounting records. Records are maintained on the basis of actual cost data. The assets purchased at different times and different prices are put together and shown at cost price. If any depreciation is provided at the end of the accounting year, it is deducted from the original cost. 2. Accounting conventions

While preparing financial statement, certain accounting conventions and principles are followed. Accounting is a dynamic science and accounts have developed from time to time a number of conventions from experience. 3. Postulates

The accountants make certain assumptions while making accounting records. One of the assumptions is that enterprise is an ongoing concern. Similarly he has to use other postulates like business entity, money measurement, stable value of rupee, profit accrual etc. These postulates are reflected in the financial statements.

21

4.

Personal judgment.

The application of the concept and conventions of accounting depends on the personnel judgment of the accountant. That is why the financial statement prepared by 2 different accountants of the same concern give different results. Personnel judgment effects provision for deddebts, depreciations, value of stock etc. which ultimately effect financial statement. Thus the personnel judgment of the accountant plays an important role in preparing the financial statement.

IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Financial statements are highly useful to the management, creditors, investors, bankers, govt. public at large. The utility of financial statement to different parties are: 1. Management

The management is able to exercise cost control through financial statement. The efficient and inefficient spots are brought to the notice of the management. The mgt is able to decide the course of action to be taken in future.

2.

Creditors

The creditors are interested in the short-term solvency of the concern. The current ratio and acid test ratio will enable the creditors to assess the short term solvency position of the concern.

3.

Bankers

The bankers are interested to see that the loan amount is secure and that the interest is paid regularly. Bankers will analyze Balance sheet & P& L A/c to determine financial strength and profitability of concern. The debt equity ratio and interest coverage ratio will enable the banker to analyse the solvency position of the firm.

4.

Investors

The investors are interested in the security of the principle amount invested by them and regular interest payment by the concern. The investor will analyze the present financial position and study the future prospects of the concern.

22

5.

Government

The financial statements are used to access tax liability of business enterprise. This helps the govt. to find out whether business is following various tax regulations or not.

6.

Others

Trade associations, stock exchanges and public at large may also analyze the financial statement to judge the financial position of the concern.

LIMITATIONS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT
1. A balance sheet is described as a statement of all assets and liabilities. But this is not true. There are certain assets and liabilities which a B/S fail to disclose. E.g.: value of human resource. 2. The figures given in the balance sheet are on historical basis. While preparing it, the

replacement cost of the assets is totally ignored. 3. An investor who wishes to analyse the balance sheet is more concerned with present

and future, where as the Balance sheet pertains to a point of time relating to past and therefore may not be helpful. 4. Personal judgments play a great role in determining the figures for the balance sheet.

Provision for depreciation, stock valuation, provision for bad debts etc are based on personnel judgments and not free from bias. 5. Financial statements do not give a final picture of the concern. The data given in this

statement is only approximate. The actual position can only be determined when the business is sold or liquidated. 6. Balance sheet does not disclose information relating to changes is mgt, loss of

markets etc which can give a vital bearing on the earnings of the Company. 7. The precision of the financial statement data is not possible because the statements

deal with matters which cannot be precisely stated 8. Because of the flexibility of accounting principles, certain liabilities are not provided

for and to that extent, Balance sheet will give a misleading picture.

23

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The analysis of financial statement is the study of relationship among various financial facts and figures as set out in the financial statement is B/S & P&L account. Financial analysis is the process of determining the significant operating and financial characteristics of a firm from accounting data. A proper analysis and interpretation of financial statement enables a person to judge the profitability and financial strength of the business. According to Myers ―financial statement analysis is largely a study of relationship among the various financial factors in a business as disclosed by a single set of statements and a study of these factors as shown in the series of statements.

Types of Financial Analysis

According to Material used

According to Modus operandi

According to the objective of Analysis

External Analysis

Internal Analysis

Horizontal Analysis

Vertical Analysis

Long term Analysis

Short term Analysis

1. a.

ACCORDING TO MATERIAL USED. External analysis External analysis of financial statement is made by those who do not have

access to the detailed accounting records of the company i.e. banks, creditors, and general public. These people almost entirely depend on published financial statement. b. Internal Analysis Such analysis is made by the finance and accounting debt to help the top management. These peoples have direct approach to the relevant financial records. Such

25

analysis emphasizes on the performance appraisal and assessing the profitability of diffe3rent activities.

2. a.

ACCORDING TO THE MODUS OPERANDI Horizontal analysis When the financial statements for a number of years are reviewed and analyzed,

the analysis is called ‗horizontal analysis‘. Preparation of comparative statements is an e.g. of horizontal analysis. As it is based from year to year, rather than on one date it is also known as ‗dynamic analysis‘. b. Vertical analysis Vertical analysis is also known as ―static Analysis‖. When ratios are calculated from the balance sheet of one year, it is called vertical analysis. It is not very useful for long term planning as is does not include the trend study for future.

3. a.

ACCORDING TO THE OBJECTIVES OF ANALYSIS Long term analysis In the long term the company must earn a minimum amount sufficient to

maintain a suitable rate of return on the investment to provide for the necessary growth and development of the company and to meet the cost of capital. Thus, in the long term analysis, the stress is on the stability and earning potentiality of the concern. b. Short term analysis The short term analysis of financial statement is mainly concerned with the working capital analysis. In a short run a company must have ample funds available to meet its current needs and sufficient borrowing capacity to meet the contingencies. Hence, in short term analysis, the current assets & current liabilities are analyzed and cash position of the concern is determined.

TOOLS OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
In the process of analysis various tools or methods are used by financial analyst. The different tools are: a. Comparative Statement The preparation of comparative financial and operating statements is an important device of horizontal financial analysis., comparative financial statement are the

26

statement in which figures of two or more periods are placed side by side along with changes in future in absolute and percentage terms to facilitate comparison. Both income statement (P&L account) and position statement (balance sheet) are prepared in the form of comparative financial statement. b. Common size financial statement These are statements prepared to show the relationship of different individual items with some common items. Common size financial statements express all figures of a financial statement as percentage of some common base in the P&L account. The sales figure is assumed to be 100 and all figures are expressed as % of scales. Similarly in the Balance Sheet the total of assets and liabilities is taken as 100 and all figures are expressed in the percentage of 100.

c.

Trend Percentage Trend percentages are helpful in making comparative study of the financial

statement for several years. The method of calculating trend percentage involves the calculation of percentage relationship that each item bears to the same item in the base year. Base year is usually the earliest year. d. Average Analysis It is an improvement over trend analysis method. When trend ratio has been determined for the concern, these figures are compared with average trend of the industry. Both these trend are presented in the graph as shape of a curves. e. Statement of changes in working capital To know the increase or decrease in the working capital over a period of time, The preparation of a statement of changed in working capital is also very useful. The main objectives of the statement preparation are to derive a fairly accurate summary of the event that affected the amount of working capital. The amount of networking capital is determined by deducting the total of current liabilities form the total of current assets. f. Fund flow and cash flow statement. Fund flow analysis is a valuable aid to the financial executives and creditors for evaluating the use of the fund by the firm and in determining how those uses were financed. A fund flow statement indicates where funds came from and where they are used during period.

27

Cash flow statements reveal the sources of cash and its application. Both are important tools of communication and very helpful for financial executives in planning the intermediate and long term financial of the firm. g. Ratio Analysis Ratio analysis expresses the relationship between 2 according variables taken from financial statement of accounting period in the form of ratio. It is the most important tool available to financial analysis for their work.

LIMITATIONS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
1. The analysis of financial statement is only a means to reach conclusions and not

conclusions in itself So, it cannot work as a substitute for sound judgment. 2. The figures drawn from the statement of just one year have limited use and value. So

it will be dangerous to depend upon them only. 3. The results of the analysis of financial statements should not be taken as indicator of

good or bad management 4. Any change in the method or procedure of accounting mars the utility of such

analysis. The figures of different financial statement lose the characteristics of comparability. 5. 6. 7. An analyst should also be cautions from window dressing in the accounts. It doesn‘t disclose reasons for changes. The basic nature of financial statement is historic. Part can never be 100%

representative of the future. Hence, future course of business events should be forecasted. 8. The rapid changes in the value of money also reduce the validity of such analysis and

no useful conclusions can be drawn from a comparative study of the financial statements of different years. (Ref: Pandey IM ‗Financial Management)

* RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is one of the powerful tools of financial analysis. It aims at making use of quantitative information for decision making. A ratio is an expression of relationship between two figures or two amounts. It is a yard stick which measures relationship between two variables. It highlights solvency, liquidity etc.

28

According to Robert Antony, Ratio is ―Simply one number expressed in terms of another‖.

Ratio analysis gives answer to the problem such as i. ii. iii. iv. v. Whether the enterprises financial position is basically sound. Whether the capital structure of the business is in proper order. Whether the credit policy in relation to sales and purchase is sound. Whether the company is credit worthy. Whether the profitability of the enterprise is satisfactory ADVANTAGES OF RATIOS ANALYSIS 1. It makes it easy to grasp the relationship between various items and helps in

understanding the financial statements 2. 3. 4. 5. dates. 6. Standard ratios may be computed. Comparison of actual ratios with standard will help Ratios indicate trends in important items and thus will help in forecasting. Ratio may be used as a measure of efficiency. Ratios are very useful for measuring the performance and very useful in cost control. Ratios can effectively communicate what has happened between two accounting

in control. 7. It throws lights on the degree of the management and utilization of the assets and that

is why it is called surveyor of efficiency. They help the management in decision making. 8. It helps in the simple assessment of liquidity, solvency, profitability and efficiency of

the firm.

LIMITATIONS OF RATIOS ANALYSIS
1. Ratio can be useful only when they are computed in a sufficient large number. A

single ratio would not be able to convey anything. At the same time if too many ratios are calculated, they are likely to confuse. 2. Ratio analysis gives only a good basis for quantitative analysis of financial problems.

But it suffers from qualitative aspects. 3. Ratios are computed from historical accounting records. So they also process those

limitations of financial accounting.
29

4.

It is not possible to calculate exact and well accepted absolute standard for

comparison. 5. In the ratio Analysis Arithmetical window dressing is possible and firm may be

successful in concealing the real position. 6. Ratios are only means of financial analysis, but not an end in themselves. They can be

affected with personal ability and bias of the analyst. 7. Ratio analysis helps in providing only a part of information needed in the process of

decision making.

CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS
1. a. Statement wise classifications Balance sheet Ratios : These ratios deal with relationships between two items or

group of items which are both in balance sheet E.g. Current Ratio, Quick Ratio etc. b. Income Statement Ratios: These ratios focus on the relationship between the two

items or group of items, all of which are drawn from revenue statement. They are also called operating Ratios eg. Gross profit ratio, Stock turnover ratio, net profit ratio. c. Combined ratios: These ratios depict the relationships between two items, one of

which is drawn from balance sheet and other from revenue statements.Eg, debtor turnover ratio, assets turnover ratio etc.

2. a.

Classification according to Nature Liquidity ratios: These ratios portray the capacity of the business unit to meet its short

term obligations.Eg, current ratio, quick ratio etc. b. Leverage Ratios: These ratios are called efficiency ratios. These ratios measure the

owners stake in the business vis-à-vis that of outsiders. The long term solvency of the business can be determined by this ratio. Eg.Debt equity ratio, proprietary ratio etc. c. Activity Ratios: These ratios evaluate the use of total resources of the business

concern along with the use of components of total assets. The greater the rate of turnover the move efficient the management would be. Eg, stock turnover ratio, fixed asset turnover ratio etc. d. Profitability ratios: The profitability of a business concern can be measured by

profitability ratios. These ratios highlight the end result of business activities by which alone

30

the overall efficiency of a business unit can be judged. Eg. Net profit ratio, gross profit ratio etc. 3. a. Classification according to importance Primary ratios: The ratios which relates the profit to capital employed is termed as

primary ratio. E.g. Return on capital employed, operating ratio etc. b. Secondary ratios: This classification is effected to facilitate inter firm comparison and

to focus on some factors responsible for the success of the unit they are secondary ratios.

I.

Liquidity Ratios Liquidity is the ability of the firm to meet its current liabilities. Since liquidity is

basic to continuous operations of the firm. It is necessary to determine the degree of liability of the firm.

1.

Current Ratio Current ratio is the most common ratio for measuring liquidity. It represents the

ratio of current assets to current liabilities. It is also called working capital ratio. The current ratio measures its short term solvency. The satisfactory ratio is 2:1. A higher ratio indicates sound solvency and a lower ratio indicates adequate working capital. It determined by dividing current assets by current liability. Current assets are those, the amount of which can be realized within a period of one year e.g.- cash, bills receivables. Current liabilities are those amounts which are payable within a period of one year e.g. Outstanding expenses, bills payable. Current Assets Current Ratio = Current Liabilities

2.

Quick Ratio. It is the relation between quick assets to current liabilities. They are also called

‗Acid test Ratio‘ or ‗Liquidity ratio‘. Acid test ratio of 1:1 is considered satisfactory. Higher ratio shows sound financial position and a low ratio shows unsound financial position.

31

Quick Assets Quick Ratio = Current liabilities Quick assets =cash+bank+B/R+ debtor or current assets-stocks

1.

Absolute Liquidity Ratio It is the ratio of liquid assets to current liabilities. It is also called cash position ratio.

A ratio of 0.75: 1 is an ideal ratio Cash + Marketable securities Absolute Liquidity Ratio = Current Liabilities II. Leverage ratios These are also called structure ratios. These ratio measures the long term solvency position of the firm. This ratio helps to determine the capital structure of a company. E.g. Debt equity ratio, proprietary ratio, capital gearing ratio etc. 1. Debt-equity ratio It is the ratio of outsiders fund to owners‘ equity. This ratio is computed by dividing the total debt of the firm by its net worth. Debt refers to total outside liabilities. It includes all current liability like loan, debenture etc. Ideal ratio is 2:1.A high ratio is unfavorable for the film. A low ratio represents a satisfactory capital structure of the firm. Debt Debt-Equity ratio = Equity Shareholders fund = share capital + reserve and surplus- fictitious assets. 2. Proprietary Ratio Proprietary ratio relates to the shareholders fund to total assets. This ratio shows the long term solvency of the business.

32

The ideal ratio is 1:3 (i.e. 0.33). This ratio shows the financial strength of the company. Higher ratio indicates a secured position to creditors and a low ratio indicates a greater risk to creditors. Shareholders‘ funds Proprietary ratio = Total assets Shareholders fund = equity share capital + preferences + share capital + reserve & surplus – fictions assets 3. Fixed assets to net worth ratio This ratio shows relationship between fixed assets and shareholders fund. The purpose of this ratio is to find out the percentage of owners fund invested in fixed assets. Fixed assets Fixed assets to net worth = Net worth or shareholders fund III. Activity ratios

Activity ratio measures how efficiently the assets are employed by the firm. These ratios are also called ‗Turnover Ratio‘. These ratios indicate the speed with which assets are being converted into sales. These ratios are also called ‗efficiency ratio‘.

1.

Inventory Turnover Ratio(stock turnover Ratio) This ratio indicates whether investment in inventories is efficiently used or not. A

high ratio indicates risk sales. A low Ratio results in blocking of funds in inventory. Cost of goods sold Inventory turnover ratio = Average stock Cost of goods sold = sales – gross profit OR sales + gross loss OR = (opening stock + closing stock/2

33

2.

Fixed assets to turnover ratio This ratio indicates the extents to which the investments in fixed assets

contribute towards sales if compared with a previous year, it indicates whether the investment in fixed assets has been judicious or not.

Net sales Fixed assets turnover ratio = Fixed assets

3.

Working capital turnover ratio. This ratio reflects the turnover of the firm‘s net working capital in the course of the

year. It is a good measure of over trading & under taking. Net sales Working capital turnover = Fixed assets

4.

Debtors turnover ratio (Debtors velocity) It is the ratio of relationship between account receivables and net credit sales of

the period. The higher the ratio, the better it is since it would indicate that debts are being collected promptly. Net credit sales Debtors Turnover Ratio = Avg account receivables

IV.

Profitability Ratios A business firm is basically a profit earning organizations. The income statement of

the firm shows the profit earned by the firm during the accounting period. Profitability is an indication of the efficiency with which the operations of business are carried on.

34

1.

Gross profit ratio

This ratio serves as a valuable indicator of the firm‘s ability to utilize effectivel y outside sources of fund. Secondly. This ratio serves as aan important tool in shaping the pricing policy of the firm.

2.

Net profit Ratio

This ratio is also called the net profit to sales or net profit margin ratio. It is determined by dividing the net income after tax to the net sales for the period. Higher the ratio better is the operational efficiency of the concern.

Net profit Net profit ratio = Sales X100

3.

Operating ratio

Operating ratio is an indicative of the proportion that the cost of sales bears to sales. Cost of goods sold + operating expenses Operating Ratio = Net sales Cost of sales = direct cost of goods sold + other operating expense Operating expense = administration, selling and distribution expense but do not include financing cost and income tax. Lower the ratio, the more profitable are the operations indicating an efficient control over cost and selling price. Reverse is the position when the ratio is higher. (Ref: Davies D ‗The art of Managing Finance) X100

*Trend Analysis and Average Analysis
Review and appraisal of tendency in connecting in accounting variables is simply called as trend analysis. An analysis of the trend ratios over a past few years may well suggest the direction in which the concern in going. Average analysis is an improvement over trend analysis.

35

Uses of trend analysis    It helps in easily knowing the direction of movement of activity of business. It makes data brief and easily understandable. It helps in comparing one period with other period.

Current year amount Trend Percentage = Base year amount Here both the Trend analysis and average analysis of sales, stock, profit before tax, current assets, current liabilities and working capital are done. X100

*Comparative Financial Statement
Comparative financial statements are statements of functional position at different periods of time. The comparative statement shows     Absolute Figures( rupee amount ) Changes in absolute figures. Absolute data in terms of percentage. Increase or decrease in terms of percentage.

Comparative Balance Sheet The comparative balance sheet analysis is the study of trend of same items and computed items in two or more balance sheet of the same business enterprise on different dates. Comparative balance sheet will interept the following aspects:    Current financial position and liquidity position. Long term financial position of the concern can be analyzed by studying the changes

in fixed assets, long term liabilities and capital. Profitability of the concern is the study of increase or decrease in retained earnings,

various resources and surpluses.

*Schedule of changes in working capital
Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. The schedule of changes in working capital is prepared to find out the increase or decrease in working capital during a period. This schedule is prepared with the help of only current assets and current liabilities.
36

*Common size balance sheet
This statement establishes the relationship between each asset to total value of assets & each liability to total of liabilities. The objective is to analyse the change in individual item of balance sheet and to see the trend of different items of assets & liabilities. (Ref: Financial management theory and practice by ‗Chandran P‘)

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The ultimate aim of any organisation is the maximisation of wealth of shareholders and it can be done through profit maximisation. Effective and efficient financing and investment decision help to achieve the objectives. Managing of current assets is the main area in which finance department is to concentrate. Inventory constitutes a major portion of current asset in manufacturing organization. So the inventory must be managed effectively & efficiently in order to achieve the financial management objectives. In this study the main focus is on the efficiency of financial position of the company.

37

LIMITATION
  details.    The study covered a 6 year period from 2008- 2009 and 2012-2013. The changes after The major limitation was the time constraints. As time available was much limited. Due to time constraints, could not interview many executives for collection of more

before this period were not taken into consideration. Financial matters considered confidential by the company were not revealed. The technique of trend analysis and ratio analysis are used to study the performance

of the firm. The limitation of ratio analysis may affect the effectiveness of study.

As I have taken figures for analysis from the financial statement, all limitation of this statement will apply to study.

CHAPTER III FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF DATA

48

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION 4.1 LIQUIDITY RATIO
The term liquidity ratio refers to the firm‘s ability to meets its current liabilities when they become due; Liquidity ratios are used to current the liquidity position or short term financial position of a firm. For example current ratio, quick ratio, absolute liquid ratio etc.

4.1.1CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio is the most common ratio for measuring liquidity. It is high the ratio for current assets to current liability. It is also called working capital ratio. A high ratio indicates the greater liquidity. The satisfactory ratio is considered as 2:1 or 2 and more. Current assets are those, the amount of which can be realized within a period of one year and current liabilities are those amounts which are payable with in a period of the one year.

Current Ratio

Inference
The current ratio of firm measures its shorts term solvency, i.e., its ability to meet shorter obligations. In a sound business a current ratio of 2:1 is considered an ideal one. A high ratio indicates sound liquidity position and a low ratio indicate inadequate working capital. Table clearly shows current assets, current liability and current ratio. Three variables in the table show a fluctuating trend in the five year study. The ratio reveals that the firms‘ financial position is not satisfactory. This is due to the low value of current asset when compared to the current liabilities.

50

4.1.2 QUICK RATIO / LIQUID RATIO / ACID TEST RATIO
It is the ratio of quick assets or liquid asset to current liability. It is determined by dividing quick assets by quick liability. Quick assets include cash in hand, cash at bank, bills receivables and debtors. The satisfactory ratio is considered as 1:1 or 1 and more Quick ratio = Quick asset: Current liability OR Quick asset Current liability Quick asset = Cash + bank + Bills receivable + debtors OR = Current asset – Stock

Inference
An acid test or quick ratio of 1:1 considered satisfactory as firm can easily meet all its current liabilities. If the ratio is less than 1:1 then the financial position of the concern shall be deemed to be unsound. On other hand if the ratio is more than 1:1 then the financial position of the concern is sound and good. Liquid ratio is true test of business solvency. The above table shows that the relationship between the quick assets and current liability. It shows the not good sound position of the firm‘s quick asset to meet all its current liabilities.

4.1.3 ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO
It is the ratio of absolute liquid asset to current liabilities. The satisfactory ratio is considered as 0.75:1 Absolute liquid ratio = Absolute liquid asset Current liability

Inference
This table shows that the relationship between the immediate source of fund and current liability. A ratio of 0.75:1 is recommended to ensure liquidity. The absolute liquidity ratio is very low hence it indicates that the firm‘s liquidity position is not good

4.2

LEVERAGE RATIOS
Many financial analyses are interested in the relative use of debt and equity of the

firm. These ratios measure the long term solvency position of the firm. The following are important leverage ratios

4.2.1 DEBT-EQUITY RATIO
It is the ratio of outsiders fund to owners‘ equity. Outsiders‘ equity includes current liability as well as long debts such as a debenture, Bond, Loans etc. Owners‘ equity refers the net worth of shares holders‘ fund. It includes equity share capital + preference share + capital + reserve and surplus-fictious share.

Inference
Debt equity ratio measured ultimate solvency of the concern. It provides a marginof safety to the creditors. Thus smaller ratio of this will give more comfort to creditors. The debt equity ratio was maximum at the year 2010 then it showing a decreasing trend. Higher debt equity ratio increases the risk and inflexibility of the firm.

4.2.2 PROPRIETARY RATIO

57

Inference
This ratio shows financial strength of the company. It helps the creditors to find out the position of the share holders fund in the total assets. If the ratio is high, this indicates that a company has a sufficient amount of equity to support the functions of the business, and probably has room in its financial structure to take on additional debt, if necessary. Conversely a low ratio indicates that the business may be making use of too much debt, or trade payables, rather than equity, to support operations ( which may place the company at risk of bankruptcy).

4.2.3 FIXED ASSET TO NETWORTH RATIO
The ratio shows the relationship between fixed assets and shareholders fund. The purpose of this ratio is to find out the percentage of the fund invested in fixed asset. Fixed asset to net worth = Fixed asset Share holders fund

1.54 1.32 1.17 1.14 1.01

Inference
Fixed asset to net worth ratio finds wide spread application to measure the solvency of a firm. A ratio higher than 0.75 usually reveals the firm is investing high amount in capital excessively as well as non liquid assets leaving too little cash to fund operations. This could make the film more vulnerable to unexpected events and changes in business climate. Here the ratio is more than one, it means that creditors fund have been used to acquire a part of fixed assets.

4.3 ACTIVITY RATIO
These ratios are called turnover ratios. This ratio highlights upon the activity and operational efficiency of the business concern. This ratio indicates the speed with which the assets are being converted in to sales. This ratio also called efficiency ratio. Under this ratio inventory turnover ratio, fixed assets turnover ratio, working capital turnovers ratio and debtors‘ turnover ratio are explained below. The ratio measure the efficient use of assets which will generate greater sale per rupee

59

invested in all assets of a concern. the efficient use of assets will result in low sales volume coupled with higher overhead charges and under utilization of the available capacity.

4.3.1 FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO
This ratio indicates the extent to which the investment in fixed assets contributors towards sales. It when compared with a previous year indicates whether the investment in fixed assets have been judicious or not. This ratio is calculated as follows Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = Net sales Fixed Assets

Inference
If the fixed asset turnover ratio is low as compared to the industry or past years of the firm, it means that sales are low or the investment in plant and equipment is too high. If the ratio is high, then the business firm is likely operating over capacity and need to either increase its asset base to support its sales or reduce its capacity.

4.3.2. INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO
Inventory turnover ratio is the ratio of the cost of goods sold to average inventory. It is an activity / efficiency ratio and it measures how many times per period a business sells and replaces its inventory origin. This ratio is calculated as follows; Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold Average inventory Average inventory is calculated as the sum of the inventory at the beginning and at the end of the period divided by two.

Inference
It can be observed that the networking capital ratio is negative figure in last two years. Current asset is less than the current liabilities. Thus the net working capital is negative. Thus we can say that net profit ratio looks unsatisfactory and insufficient. It can be observed that the company not well poised to meet any short obligation. Hence the liquidity position is not safe and sound.

4.4.2 GROSS PROFIT RATIO
Gross profit ratio evaluates the effectiveness of business. It indicates the efficiency of firm in terms of its production and how much it has gained profit. Gross profit reflects the profit firm has made on cost of goods sold. If the firm has higher gross profit margin then it is a sign of success because all operating expenses, interest selling price of goods sold and decrease cost of goods sold then the ratio increases. Gross Profit Ratio =

Inference
The gross profit ratio helps in ascertaining whether the average percentage of mark up on the goods is maintained or not. If firm has higher gross profit margin then it is a sign of success because all operating expenses, interest charges and dividends would have to be
68

taken off from GP. If company increase selling price of goods sold and decreases cost of goods sold then this ratio increases. However if company decrease selling price of goods sold then this ratio decreases.

4.4.3 RETURN ON TOTAL ASSETS
Return on total assets ratio is a profitability ratio. The return on assets ratio is also called the return on investment ratio. Return on assets allows the business owner to calculate how efficiently the company is using the total assets base to generate sales. Total assets include all current assets such as cash, inventory and accounts receivable in addition to fixed assets such as plant and equipment Net profit Return On Total Assets = Total assets X100

TREND ANALYSIS
Trend percentages are immensely helpful in making a comparative study of the financial statements for several years. The method of calculating trend percentage involves the calculation of percentage relationship that each item bears to the same item in the earliest year. An interviewing year may also be taken as the base year. Each item of the base year is taken as 100 and on that basis the percentage for each of the items of each of the year is calculated. These percentages can also be taken as index numbers shows relative changes in the financial data resulting with the passage of time. The method of trend percentage is a useful analytical device for the management since by substitution of percentage of large amount; the brevity and readability are achieved. However, trend percentage are not calculated for all of the items in the financial statements. They are usually calculated only for major items since the purpose is to highlight important changes. While calculating trend percentage are should be taken regarding the following matters: 1. Accounting principles and practices followed should be constraint throught the period

for which analysis is made. In the absence of such consistency, the comparability will be adversely affected. 2. The base year should be carefully selected. It should be a normal year amd be

representative of the item shown in the statement. 3. The base year should be calculated only for items hqaving logical relationship with

one another. This method determines the direction upwards or downwards and involves The financial statements may be analyzed by computing trends of series of the computation of the percentage relationship that each statement item bears to the same item in base year. The figures are base years are taken as 100 and trend ratio for other year is calculated on the basis of base year. The information for a number of years is taken up and one year, generally the first year, is taken as a base year. Current year amount Trend percentage = Base year amount X100

Good capital structure will also help to get more loans from banks. Reduce the cost of Raw Materials The costs of raw materials constitute more than 86% of sales revenue which is on the higher side accounting to industry standards.

Improve the sales volume Effective steps to be taken to improve sales volume.
