1.3- ACQUISITION OF BIRLA TEXTILE MILLS
The Company belongs to the K.K.Birla Group, one of the top 20 business house in INDIA.
Birla Textile Mills (BTM) initially started in the year 2000 and was the textile division of
Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited. The company is well equipped with most
modern state of art textile machineries and sophisticated quality control equipment. Today it
is well established and known for its international quality of products. Mill’s Strength lies in
its trained and dedicated workforce and continuous upgrading of human resources skills. The
unit provides employment to around 3000 labourers and comprises of 300 administrative staff
members. The plant of Birla Textile Mills in Himachal Pradesh has a total installed capacity
of 40,376 spindles, while another 43,000 spindles were added in 2006, extending the total to
83,376. The company’s yearly production of yarn is 20,000 MT and of which 40 % of the
production is being exported to the global markets.
In March,2015 K.K. Birla Group flagship company Sutlej Textile and Industries Limited got
approval from its Board of Directors to acquire another group company, Birla Textile Mills,
which was a unit of Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited located at Baddi in Himachal
Pradesh, on the basis of a slump sale.
Slump sale is the transfer or sale of one or more undertakings for a lump sum where no
values are assigned to individual assets and liabilities.
The transaction for acquisition of Birla Textile Mills (BTM) as a going concern on slump sale
basis has been successfully concluded on September 30, 2015. The consideration for
purchase of Birla Textile Mills from Chambal Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited works out to
be Rs 232.63 crore (including net current assets).
Post-acquisition, the spinning capacity of the company enhanced and increased to 377,688
spindles. The larger volumes helped the company to effectively amortise its fixed costs. The
result was that the Company reported an increase in profits, validating its acquisition and
expansion priorities. The company also got benefited through adding new customers in the

2. PROJECT OVERVIEW
Finance is defined as the provision of money when it is required. Every enterprise needs
finance to start and carry out its operation. Finance is the lifeblood of an organization. So,
finance should be managed effectively.
Financial Statements are prepared primarily for decision making. Financial Statement
Analysis refers to the process of determining financial strength and weakness of the firm by
properly establishing strategic relationship between the items of the balance sheet and profit
and loss account. There are various methods and techniques used in analyzing financial
statements, such as comparative statements, trend analysis, common size statements,
schedule of changes in working capital, funds flow and cash flow analysis, cost volume profit
analysis and ratio analysis and other operative data. The analysis of financial statement is
used for decision making by various parties.
20 | P a g e
2.2- MEANING AND CONCEPT OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The term 'financial analysis', also known as analysis and interpretation of financial
statements', refers to the process of determining financial strengths and weakness of the firm
by establishing strategic relationship between the items of the balance sheet, profit and loss
account and opposite data."Analyzing financial statements," according to Metcalf and Titard,
"is a process of evaluating the relationship between component parts of financial statements
to obtain a better understanding of a firm's position and performance". In the words of 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 statement, and a study of the trend of
these factors as shown in a series of statements."
The term 'financial statement analysis' includes both 'analysis', and 'interpretation'. A
distinction should, therefore, be made between the two terms. While the term 'analysis' is
used to mean the simplification of financial data by methodical classification of the data
given in the financial statements, 'interpretation' means, 'explaining the meaning and
significance of the data so simplified however, both analysis and interpretation are interlinked
and complimentary to each other. An analysis is useless without interpretation and
interpretation without analysis is difficult or even impossible most of the authors have used
the term analysis only to cover the meaning both analysis and interpretation as the objective
of analysis is to study the relationship between various items of financial statements by
21 | P a g e
interpretation. We have also used the terms Financial statement Analysis or simply Financial
Analysis to cover the meaning of both analysis and interpretation.
A number of methods or devices are used to study the relationship between different
statements. The following methods of analysis are generally used:
1. Comparative Statement
2. Trend Analysis
3. Common Size Statement
4. Funds Flow Analysis
5. Cash Flow Analysis
6. Ratio Analysis
7. Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
A trend analysis is an aspect of technical analysis that tries to predict the future movement of
a stock based on past data. Trend analysis is based on the idea that what has happened in the
past gives traders an idea of what will happen in the future.
22 | P a g e
2.3.3- COMMON SIZE STATEMENT:
Common size income statement is an income statement in which each account is expressed as
a percentage of the value of sales. This type of financial statement can be used to allow for
easy analysis between companies or between time periods of a company.
Fund flow is the net of all cash inflows and outflows in and out of various financial assets.
Fund flow is usually measured on a monthly or quarterly basis; the performance of an asset
or fund is not taken into account, only share redemptions, or outflows, and share purchases,
or inflows.
An examination of a company's cash inflows and outflows during a specific period. The
analysis begins with a starting balance and generates an ending balance after accounting for
all cash receipts and paid expenses during the period. The cash flow analysis is often used for
financial reporting purposes
Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis is used to determine how changes in costs and volume
affect a company's operating income and net income. In performing this analysis, there are
several assumptions made, including: Sales price per unit is constant. Variable costs per unit
are constant. Total fixed costs are constant.
23 | P a g e
2.3.7- RATIO ANALYSIS:
Ratio analysis is used to evaluate various aspects of a company's operating and financial
performance such as its efficiency, liquidity, profitability and solvency. The trend of these
ratios over time is studied to check whether they are improving or deteriorating. Following
are the types of ratios and their formulas.
1. Liquidity Ratio.
Liquidity ratios measure a company's ability to pay debt obligations and its margin of safety
through the calculation of metrics including the current ratio, quick ratio and operating cash
flow ratio.
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term and
long-term obligations. To gauge this ability, the current ratio considers the current total assets
of a company (both liquid and illiquid) relative to that company's current total liabilities.
The quick ratio is a measure of how well a company can meet its short-term financial
liabilities. Also known as the acid-test ratio, it can be calculated as follows: (Cash +
Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable) / Current Liabilities
Absolute Liquid Assets include cash in hand and at bank and marketable securities or
temporary investments. The acceptable norm for this ratio is 50% or 0.5: 1 or 1: 2.
24 | P a g e
d. Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities.
Net working capital is the aggregate amount of all current assets and current liabilities. It is
used to measure the short-term liquidity of a business, and can also be used to obtain a
general impression of the ability of company management to utilize assets in an efficient
manner.
2. Turnover Ratios
The turnover ratio is the percentage of a mutual fund or other investments holdings that have
been replaced in a given year, which varies by the type of mutual fund, its investment
objective and/or the portfolio manager's investing style.
The inventory turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold for a period by
the average inventory for that period. Average inventory is used instead of ending inventory
because many companies' merchandise fluctuates greatly throughout the year.
The receivables turnover ratio is an activity ratio measuring how efficiently a firm uses its
assets. Receivables turnover ratio can be calculated by dividing the net value of credit sales
during a given period by the average accounts receivable during the same period.
Accounts payable turnover ratio is calculated by taking the total purchases made from
suppliers, or cost of sales, and dividing it by the average accounts payable amount during the
same period.
25 | P a g e
d. Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio = Net Sales / Fixed Assets.
Fixed-asset turnover is the ratio of sales (on the profit and loss account) to the value of fixed
assets (on the balance sheet). It indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to
generate sales.
Total-asset turnover is the ratio of sales (on the profit and loss account) to the value of total
assets (on the balance sheet). It indicates how well the business is using its Total assets to
generate sales.
A firm's capital structure is the composition or 'structure' of its liabilities. For example, a firm
that has $20 billion in equity and $80 billion in debt is said to be 20% equity-financed and
80% debt-financed. The firm's ratio of debt to total financing, 80% in this example is referred
to as the firm's leverage.
Debt/Equity Ratio is a debt ratio used to measure a company's financial leverage, calculated
by dividing a company's total liabilities by its stockholders' equity. The D/E ratio indicates
how much debt a company is using to finance its assets relative to the amount of value
represented in shareholders' equity.
26 | P a g e
b. Proprietary Ratio = Net Worth / Total Assets.
The proprietary ratio (also known as the equity ratio) is the proportion of shareholders' equity
to total assets, and as such provides a rough estimate of the amount of capitalization currently
used to support a business.
The interest coverage ratio is used to determine how easily a company can pay interest
expenses on outstanding debt. The ratio is calculated by dividing a company's earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) by the company's interest expenses for the same period.
4. Profitability Ratio.
Profitability ratios are a class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's
ability to generate earnings compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred
during a specific period of time.
Gross profit ratio (GP ratio) is a profitability ratio that shows the relationship between gross
profit and total net sales revenue. It is a popular tool to evaluate the operational performance
of the business. The ratio is computed by dividing the gross profit figure by net sales.
The net profit percentage is the ratio of after-tax profits to net sales. It reveals the remaining
profit after all costs of production, administration, and financing have been deducted from
sales, and income taxes recognized.
27 | P a g e
c. Operating Profit Ratio = Operating Profit / Net Sales.
The operating profit margin ratio indicates how much profit a company makes after paying
for variable costs of production such as wages, raw materials, etc. It is expressed as a
percentage of sales and shows the efficiency of a company controlling the costs and expenses
associated with business operations.
The return on total assets (ROTA) is a ratio that measures a company's earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) against its total net assets. The ratio is considered to be an indicator
of how effectively a company is using its assets to generate earnings before contractual
obligations must be paid.
Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of profitability that calculates how many dollars of
profit a company generates with each dollar of shareholders' equity.
Earnings per share (EPS) are the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding
share of common stock. Earnings per share serve as an indicator of a company's profitability.
DPS is derived as (net income per share) x (pay-out ratio). The pay-out ratio is equal to
the amount of income paid in dividends divided by the total net income.

Importance
Current ratio is the primary measure of a company's liquidity. Minimum levels of current
ratio are often defined in loan covenants to protect the interest of the lenders in the event of
deteriorating financial position of the borrowers. Financial regulations of various countries
also impose restrictions on financial institutions to lend credit facilities to potential borrowers
that have a current ratio which is lower than the defined limits.

As at Dec, 2017 As at March, 2017 As at March, 2016
Quick Ratio 0.48 0.36 0.43
Quick ratio is an indicator of solvency of an entity and must be analyzed over a period of
time and also in the context of the industry the company operates in.
Over the years, the Company’s Quick Ratio shows a fluctuating trend. Decreasing from 0.43
in the year 2016 to 0.36 in the year 2017 and again increasing to 0.48 in December, 2017.
A quick ratio that is greater than industry average may suggest that the company is investing
too many resources in the working capital of the business which may more profitably be used
elsewhere. If a company has too much spare cash, it may consider investing the surplus funds
in new ventures and in case company is out of investment options it may be prudent to return
the excess funds to shareholders in the form of increased dividend payments. Acid test ratio
which is lower than the industry average may suggest that the company is taking too much
risk by not maintaining an appropriate buffer of liquid resources. Alternatively, a company
may have a lower quick ratio due to better credit terms with suppliers than the competitors.
Importance
Quick ratio is a measure of a company's ability to settle its current liabilities on a very short
notice. Current ratio may provide a misleading indication of a company's liquidity position
when a considerable portion of its current assets is illiquid. Quick ratio is therefore a more
reliable measure of liquidity for manufacturing companies and construction firms that have
relatively high levels of inventory, work in progress and receivables.
32 | P a g e
5.3- ABSOLUTE QUICK RATIO
The cash ratio shows how well a company can pay off its current liabilities with only cash
and cash equivalents. This ratio shows cash and equivalents as a percentage of current
liabilities.
Over the years, the Company’s Absolute Quick Ratio shows a fluctuating trend. Increasing
from 0.0027 in the year 2016 to 0.0031 in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 0.0022 in
December, 2017.
A ratio of 1 means that the company has the same amount of cash and equivalents as it has
current debt. A ratio above 1 means that all the current liabilities can be paid with cash and
equivalents. A ratio below 1 means that the company needs more than just its cash reserves to
pay off its current debt.
Importance
The cash ratio is more useful when it is compared to industry averages and competitor
averages. A cash ratio lower than 1 does indicate a company is having financial difficulty. A
low cash ratio may be an indicator of a company's strategy to have low cash reserves.
33 | P a g e
5.4- NET WORKING CAPITAL
A positive Net Working Capital is better than a negative one. A positive calculation shows
creditors and investors that the company is able to generate enough from operations to pay
for its current obligations with current assets. On the other hand, a negative net Working
Capital shows creditors and investors that the operations of the business aren’t producing
enough to support the business’ current debts. If this negative number continues over time,
the business might be required to sell some of its long-term, income producing assets to pay
for current obligations like AP and payroll.
Over the years, the Company’s Net working capital shows a fluctuating trend. Decreasing
from 355482617 in the year 2016 to 104583794 in the year 2017 and again slightly
increasing to 106252702 in December, 2017.

Inventory Turnover ratio 3.15 3.67 2.45
Inventory turnover is a measure of how efficiently a company can control its merchandise, so
it is important to have a high turn. This shows the company does not overspend by buying too
much inventory and wastes resources by storing non-saleable inventory. It also shows that the
company can effectively sell the inventory it buys.
Inventory turns vary with industry. For instance, the apparel industry will have
higher turns than the exotic car industry.
Over the years, the Company’s Inventory Turnover ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Increasing
from 2.45 times in the year 2016 to 3.67 times in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 3.15
times in December, 2017.
Importance
Inventory turnover is important because a company often has a significant amount of money
tied up in its inventory. If the items in inventory do not get sold, the company's money will
not become available to pay its employees, suppliers, lenders, etc.
It is also possible that a company's inventory will become less in demand, perhaps become
obsolete, or even deteriorate. If that occurs some of the company's money will be lost.
Having slow-moving items in inventory also uses valuable space and makes the warehouse
less efficient.

6.2- DEBTORS TURNOVER RATIO
Since the receivables turnover ratio measures a business ability to efficiently collect its
receivables, it only makes sense that a higher ratio would be more favourable. Higher ratios
mean that companies are collecting their receivables more frequently throughout the year. For
instance, a ratio of 2 means that the company collected its average receivables twice during
the year. In other words, this company is collecting is money from customers every six
months.
Over the years, the Company’s Debtors Turnover ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Increasing
from 5.88 times in the year 2016 to 7.80 times in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 5.002
times in December, 2017.
Importance
While this ratio is useful for tracking a company’s accounts receivable turnover history over
time, it may also be used to compare the accounts receivable turnover of multiple companies.
If two companies are in the same industry and one has a much lower receivables turnover
ratio than the other, it may prove to be the safer investment.

6.3- CREDITORS TURNOVER RATIO
Since the accounts payable turnover ratio indicates how quickly a company pays off its
vendors, it is used by supplies and creditors to help decide whether or not to grant credit to a
business. As with most liquidity ratios, a higher ratio is almost always more favourable than a
lower ratio.
A higher ratio shows suppliers and creditors that the company pays its bills frequently and
regularly. It also implies that new vendors will get paid back quickly. A high turnover ratio
can be used to negotiate favourable credit terms in the future.
Over the years, the Company’s Creditors Turnover ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Increasing
from 8.85 times in the year 2016 to 16.58 times in the year 2017 and again decreasing to
10.79 times in December, 2017.
Importance
Creditors’ turnover ratio is an indicator of the credit worthiness of the company. A high ratio
means quick payment to creditors for purchases made on credit and a low ratio may be a sign
of delayed payment.

-
As at Dec, 2017 As at March, 2017 As at March, 2016
Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio 2.16 2.57 1.55
A high turnover indicates that assets are being utilized efficiently and large amount of sales
are generated using a small amount of assets. It could also mean that the company has sold
off its equipment and started to outsource its operations. Outsourcing would maintain the
same amount of sales and decrease the investment in equipment at the same time. A low
turnover, on the other hand, indicates that the company isn’t using its assets to their fullest
extent.
Over the years, the Company’s Fixed Asset Turnover ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Increasing
from 1.55 times in the year 2016 to 2.57 times in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 2.16
times in December, 2017.
Importance
The purpose of any business is, of course, to generate profit, so there are a variety of metrics
that business owners and investors use to assess the efficiency of a company's business
model. While many popular metrics, such as the net profit margin, measure the degree to
which a business is profitable, efficiency metrics measure how well a company uses what it
already owns to generate profits. The fixed asset turnover ratio is one such metric.
39 | P a g e
6.5- TOTAL ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO
This ratio measures how efficiently a firm uses its assets to generate sales, so a higher ratio is
always more favourable. Higher turnover ratios mean the company is using its assets more
efficiently. Lower ratios mean that the company isn't using its assets efficiently and most
likely have management or production problems. For instance, a ratio of 1 means that the net
sales of a company equal the average total assets for the year. In other words, the company is
generating Re. 1 of sales for every rupee invested in assets.
Over the years, the Company’s Total Asset Turnover ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Increasing
from 0.73 times in the year 2016 to 1.2 times in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 1 times
in December, 2017.
Importance
A low asset turnover ratio suggests problems with excess production capacity, poor inventory
management. Increases in the asset turnover ratio over time may indicate a company is
"growing into" its capacity (while a decreasing ratio may indicate the opposite), but
remember that asset purchases made in anticipation of coming growth (or the sale of
unnecessary assets in anticipation of declining growth) can suddenly and somewhat
artificially change a company's asset turnover ratio.

7. CAPITAL STRUCTURE RATIO:
Each industry has different debt to equity ratio benchmarks, as some industries tend to use
more debt financing than others. A debt ratio of .5 means that there are half as many liabilities
as there is equity. In other words, the assets of the company are funded 2-to-1 by investors to
creditors. This means that investors own 66.6 cents of every rupee of company assets while
creditors only own 33.3 cents on the rupee. A lower debt to equity ratio usually implies a
more financially stable business. Companies with a higher debt to equity ratio are considered
more risky to creditors and investors than companies with a lower ratio.
Over the years, the Company’s Creditors Turnover ratio is in a decreasing trend. Decreasing
from 1.72 times in the year 2016 to 1.52 times in the year 2017 to 1 times in December,
2017.
Importance
Debt-to-equity ratio measure of a company's ability to repay its obligations. When examining
the health of a company, it is critical to pay attention to the debt/equity ratio. If the ratio is
increasing, the company is being financed by creditors rather than from its own financial
sources which may be a dangerous trend. Lenders and investors usually prefer low debt-to-
equity ratios because their interests are better protected in the event of a business decline.

The proprietary ratio shows the contribution of stockholders’ in total capital of the company.
A high proprietary ratio, therefore, indicates a strong financial position of the company and
greater security for creditors. A low ratio indicates that the company is already heavily
depending on debts for its operations. A large portion of debts in the total capital may reduce
creditor’s interest, increase interest expenses and also the risk of bankruptcy.
Over the years, the Company’s Proprietary Ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Decreasing from
0.23 times in the year 2016 to 0.2 times in the year 2017 and again increasing to 0.26 times in
December, 2017
Importance
This ratio indicates the extent to which the assets of the company can be lost without
affecting the interest of the creditors of the company.

As at Dec, 2017 As at March, 2017 As at March, 2016
Interest Coverage Ratio 2.06 2.07 2.49
Analyzing a coverage ratio can be tricky because it depends largely on how much risky the
creditor or investor is willing to take. Depending on the desired risk limits, a bank might be
more comfortable with a number than another. If the computation is less than 1, it means the
company isn’t making enough money to pay its interest payments. A company with a
calculation less than 1 can’t even pay the interest on its debt. This type of company is beyond
risky and probably would never get bank financing. If the coverage measurement is above 1,
it means that the company is making more than enough money to pay its interest obligations
with some extra earnings left over to make the principle payments.
Over the years, the Company’s Interest Coverage ratio is in a decreasing trend. Decreasing
from 2.49 times in the year 2016 to 2.07 times in the year 2017 to 2.06 times in December,
2017.
Importance
The choice of ratio, or combination of ratios, to use when analyzing a company often comes
down to the personal biases of the investor or analyst. Yet one would be hard-pressed to find
reason to skip the interest-coverage ratio, which is arguably the "neatest" assessment of a
company's short-term financial health. Any company that finds itself in jeopardy of defaulting
on its interest payments is likely to encounter an escalating set of financial problems that are
sure to affect the holdings of both shareholders and lenders.

8. PROFITABILITY RATIO:
The gross profit margin ratio is an indicator of a company’s financial health. It tells investors
how much gross profit every rupee of revenue a company is earning. Compared with industry
average, a lower margin could indicate a company is under-pricing. A higher gross profit
margin indicates that a company can make a reasonable profit on sales, as long as it keeps
overhead costs in control. Investors tend to pay more for a company with higher gross profit.
Over the years, the Company’s Gross Profit ratio is in a fluctuating trend. Increasing from
39.69% in the year 2016 to 45.49% in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 43.65% in
December, 2017.
Importance
Gross profit margin is generally important because it is the starting point toward achieving
healthy bottom line net profit. When you have a high gross profit margin, you are a in better
position to have a strong operating profit margin and strong net income. For a newer
business, the higher your gross profit margin, the faster you reach the break-even point and
begin earning profits from basic business activities.

As at Dec, 2017 As at March, 2017 As at March, 2016
Operating Profit Ratio 7.61% 7.95% 7.87%
The operating profit margin ratio is a key indicator for investors and creditors to see how
businesses are supporting their operations. If companies can make enough money from their
operations to support the business, the company is usually considered more stable. A higher
operating margin is more favourable compared with a lower ratio because this shows that the
company is making enough money from its ongoing operations to pay for its variable costs as
well as its fixed costs.
For instance, a company with an operating margin ratio of 20 percent means that for every
dollar of income, only 20 cents remains after the operating expenses have been paid. This
also means that only 20 cents is left over to cover the non-operating expenses.
Over the years, the Company’s Operating Profit ratio is almost stable. Increasing from 7.87%
in the year 2016 to 7.95% in the year 2017 and again decreasing to 7.61% in December,
2017.
Importance
Operating margin can help an investor take an even closer look at a company, as it can be
used to analyze a particular project within a company, not only the company itself. Projects
can vary widely in size, but operating margin may still be used to investigate a particular
project or compare multiple projects within a company
