Working Capital Management is concerned with the problems that

arise in attempting to manage the current Assets, current liabilities and the

inter-relationship that exists between them. The aim of working capital

management is to manage the concerns current assets and current

liabilities in such a way that an adequate working capital is maintained. An

adequate level of working capital provides a business with operational

flexibility. Emerson has very rightly observed that, “business with an

adequate level of working capital has more option available to it, and can

make its own choice as to when working capital will be used. On the other

hand, if a firm is short of working capital, it may be forced to limit business

operations, extension of credit to customers and the amount that it invests

in inventory. This will adversely affect production as well as sales which in

turn will affect probability of a concern.”

Meaning and definition

There is no universally accepted definition of Working Capital, but

the one most widely acceptable is the observation that ‘Working Capital’

represents the excess of current assets over current liabilities.

Although the term ‘Working Capital’ has been depreciated by the

Institute of Chartered Accountants for use in balance sheets and has

preferred the term ‘current assets less liabilities’ nevertheless, for


management purposes the former is useful phrase to summarize the

factor, which is effective lifeblood of much business.

Importance

Study of working capital is of major importance to internal and

external analysis because of its close relationship to current day-to-day

business. Inadequacy or mismanagement of working capital is the leading

cause of business failure. Choyal is of the view that, “The working capital

of a firm is the lifeblood which flows through the veins and arteries of the

structure, Indeed, it engages every part of the structure, gives courage

and moral strength to brain (management) and muscles (Personnel),

digests to the best degree the raw material used by its constant and

regular flow and returns to the heart (Cash flow) for another journey and

so when working capital is lacking or slows down, the financial bodies

have value just as much as junk.”

It is reflected by the fact that Financial Manager spends a great

deal of time in managing current assets and current liabilities. Arranging

short term financing, negotiating favorable credit terms, controlling,

administering accounts receivables and monitoring the investment in

inventories consume a great deal of their time.

In the words of I.M.Pandey: “The net Working Capital indicates

• The liquidity position of the firm.


• Suggests the extent to which working capital needs may be

financed by permanent sources of funds.”

DOCUMENT CAPTURE

PeriCAPTURE by eCapture is one of the most affordable, easy-to-use,


and innovative document capture solutions available in the market today.
It allows you to implement both a production-level and Internet-distributed
capture system. eCapture is also a modular system that offers concurrent
user pricing. Unlike many scanning solutions, eCapture does not meter
your usage. Therefore, it won't shut down at those heavy production times
because you've exceeded a monthly allotment of scans. There's no
monthly cap to the number of scans you can produce so you're free to
grow without concern for increased cost. By using ecNet, you can scan
documents anywhere in the world and then send those images over the
Internet back to a central site. This is a true, browser-based, Internet-
distributed system, not just a data link.

Check Capture offers an easy-to-use check scanning interface allowing


you to image enable your checks.

ecScan is packed with powerful features that make it the obvious choice
in a production scanning tool.

ecIndex ensures the productivity and efficiency of the indexing operator -


saving both time and money by providing an easy-to-use method to
manually index and file documents.

ecNet lets you easily deploy distributed document scanning and indexing
at remote locations using the Internet or your corporate intranet.

ecAutoFile Server is a simple, software-based solution that uses bar


code technology to file images directly into your document management or
workflow system.

ecImport Server allows you to import images from applications such as:
incoming faxes, images from microfiche conversions, images from multi-
function copiers, and images scanned using third-party software.

ecCommit Server gives you the option of scheduling when documents


are committed into your document management or workflow system.

FORM PROCESSING

A highly scalable form processing module that automates and capture


data from many hard-to-read forms and eliminate the associated manual
data-entry tasks. Available in a single station with one verification seat, up
to a complete network with many scanners, recognition stations, and as
many verification operators as are required. It can distribute work to many
PC stations for scanning, recognition, verification and data export. It is
also Internet enabled, so that remote processing is possible over private
or public networks.

PeriFORM powered by award winning Ceresoft is a comprehensive and


easy to use out-of-the box forms processing system that includes the best
data recognition technology in the world. PeriFORM seamlessly and
accurately recognizes data from handwritten and machine printed forms
as well as OMR, barcodes, logos, and form identities.

Manager
This module, designed to be user-friendly, employs a visual schematic
icon diagram to smoothly navigate users and their documents through the
system. The complete Windows design includes job control and
monitoring,

Work flow status and statistics reporting all present on the screen. Real
time warning of errors and problems save much time and labor, and users
can also view and access document image files, templates, recognition
results, and database tables within work flow.

Design
For a form to be processed, a template must be created that tells the
system about the forms attributes, data location and data types. Design
provides a template wizard to guide users through the design of these
templates. Design also automatically performs form identification, form
registration, auto deskew, rotate, and inversion, so that correct and clean
data images are extracted for recognition. After the form template is
finished, its instructions are stored in an HTML text-file. This file can be
accessed by other components of the system. For example, PeriFORM
Verify reads it when in the Page Mode editor. Click here for a larger view

FreeStyle™ Recognition Engine


FreeStyle employs CerebralNet, the most advanced recognition
technology available. This recognition engine is the result of years of
research by CereSoft engineers. It has peerless character recognition
capabilities, the most notable being the ability to read and recognize
completely freestyle handwriting. The document may contain individual
letters and words, or even sentences and paragraphs. CerebralNet
technology integrates, in real time, image, context, and linguistic validation
rules to ensure the highest degree of accuracy possible.

The FreeStyle recognition engine is seamlessly comprehensive. It


recognizes both handwritten and machine-printed words simultaneously
and automatically. It also recognizes OMR, barcodes, logos, and form
identities.
Besides the usual built-in validation rules such as lexical and geometrical
context to enhance accuracy, PeriFORM uses a real-time higher-level
context known as data objects to assist the recognition process. For
example, PeriFORM cross-checks the street, city, state, and zip code of
an address from the beginning of, rather than after the recognition
process. In this way, the system dramatically cuts down on mistakes. An
otherwise unreadable address can be correctly read in most cases. Other
data objects include dates, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.
FreeStyle also uses a large dictionary to limit candidates to recognized
words. The Trueword module is built into our recognition engine from the
start rather than as a post-processing tool, as other vendors often do.

Recognition results are stored in an HTML text file. This file contains such
information as the multiple choices of each character and word, their
confidences, geometric locations, etc. This information can be easily
accessed by PeriFORM's other components and modules. For example,
Verify will use it to improve the efficiency of the editing process.

Verify
PeriFORM will invoke a carefully designed editor to correct any remaining
recognition errors. The editor has two editing modes. In the Field Mode,
individual fields will be presented to users one at a time for manual
correction. But if field alone cannot resolve the ambiguity of a word, Page
Mode can be accessed by double-clicking the field image. In Page Mode,
the editing field and the original image in the page are highlighted together
for easy identification. Alternative choices for each character and field are
displayed at all times along with the field you are editing.

Export
PeriFORM has the ability to export the extracted data in either ASCII text
format or any ODBC compliant database format. The Export Manager
allows you to export data to multiple databases in multiple formats. It also
allows you to export data to spreadsheets, EDI (electronic data
interchange) or web-form format.

Other Features
PeriFORM is completely scalable. It can distribute work to many PC
stations for scanning, recognition, verification and data export. It is also
Internet enabled, so that remote processing is possible over private or
public networks.
It also has an extremely flexible user interface that makes adding or
modifying existing jobs easy. It supports all major SCSI and ISIS and
Twain compatible scanners.
DLL, COM, DCOM and ActiveX based agents allow PeriFORM to be
easily integrated so that it can be used not only as an out-of-the-box
product but also as a data entry component of a business information
processing system.

System Requirements
IBM Compatible Pentium PC.
64 Mb of RAM and 200 MB of hard disk space.
MS Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT operating system environment.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT

PeriDOC (by DocuWare) is the cornerstone of the DocuWare document


management product line. It gives you the power to electronically store
and organize all kinds of documents — from accounting records to
correspondence, from e-mail to technical drawings, and much more.
PeriDOC is widely known for its complete functionality, simple
administration and usability, seamless integration and absolute security.

ACTIVE IMPORT
Are you fighting your way through hundreds of e-mail messages every
day? The piles of paper from the past - business letters, delivery slips,
invoices, faxes etc. have largely been replaced by e-mail. But the same
problem remains: how to get a handle on it all. ACTIVE IMPORT 3 takes
your e-mail and automatically stores it in PeriDOC alongside all of your
other documents. Whether it's from other Windows applications, scanned
records or e-mail, everything is stored in one common document pool.
Documents can be rapidly retrieved and displayed with a mouse click. In
addition, ACTIVE IMPORT 3 integrates digital copy machines, network
scanners and external scan programs, so that paper documents and files
of every type can be quickly and easily stored in PeriDOC. PeriDOC helps
organize any size office, in any size company in a flash.

RECOGNITION
With RECOGNITION 2, you can file away your documents in PeriDOC
even quicker, since the index words or keywords are automatically
extracted from scanned documents. By using barcodes and OCR (Optical
Character Recognition), information can be read from pre-defined zones
and then transferred for indexing. This add-on module makes your
PeriDOC application more efficient, you will hardly need any time to index
your documents. And with a wide variety of configuration options,
RECOGNITION is truly a multi-faceted tool that classifies your documents
and indexes them automatically

AUTOINDEX
For many documents, data already exists in a computer system that can
be used for indexing these documents in an electronic filing system. For
example, an accounting system already has information about invoices,
such as a vendor’s name, record number, record date, account number
and invoice amount. To index documents, this information would normally
have to be data entered again and again. However, AUTOINDEX
automatically performs this labor intensive work for you.

INTERNET-SERVER
PeriDOC neatly organizes all of your company´s documents - whether
letter, e-mail, business record or any other file - in one common document
pool. The add-on module INTERNET-SERVER 3 gives all authorized
users access to this pool of information via Internet/Intranet. With any
simple web browser, documents are available to your employees as well
as current and potential customers worldwide.

CONTENT-FOLDER
CONTENT-FOLDER ensures quick and direct access to the information
you need on a daily basis. The idea is to put together “virtual folders“
containing dynamic or static links to documents filed in PeriDOC. Instead
of document copies, these folders contain links to the original documents
stored in your file cabinet. The folder can be placed on your desktop, kept
as a pending item in MS Outlook, sent by e-mail or stored in an easy-
access location. CONTENT-FOLDER speeds up the information flow in
your company. By accessing a folder, coworkers can immediately check
the status of a project and cut processing time. Plus, new documents can
be simply dragged into the folder — where they are automatically captured
and stored in your PeriDOC filing cabinet.
DOCUMENT-SERVER
PeriDOC stores all types of documents in a central location by placing the
document’s index criteria in a database and saving the actual documents
through the file system to a hard disk or optical disks. The add-on module
DOCUMENT-SERVER increases document security by acting as an
interface between the PeriDOC client and the file system of the network
server, taking over the storage and retrieval of documents. With
DOCUMENT-SERVER, the user no longer needs direct access to the file
system. This means that the security for stored documents is maximized,
administration needs reduced, and remote access by PeriDOC client via
the Internet is simplified and even faster than ever before.

CONNECT to R/3
This SAP-certified additional module to PeriDOC 4 manages the
seamless connection between the PeriDOC product family to SAP R/3
using the R/3 standard interface, ArchiveLink. All document types and
storage strategies (filing scenarios) recognized by R/3 are supported
without exeption. Special functions make it possible to add index criteria
and create self-contained file cabinets on CD/DVD. PeriDoc CONNECT to
R/3 makes it particularly easy to work together with scanning service
bureaus. This module is certified for both ArchiveLink 3.1/4.0 as well as
ArchiveLink 4.5 (HTTP content server)

CONNECT to NOTES
With PeriDOC, documents of any kind – whether they are files from Office
applications, scanned documents and e-mails can be filed in a common
document pool. The new module CONNECT to NOTES now adds
documents from Lotus Notes/Domino to that list. Whether filed manually or
fully automatically with indexing, these files can be managed in a pre-
configured file cabinet. Within PeriDOC, the user has a variety of editing
functions to choose from. For example, scanned documents can be sorted
and stapled. This module allows the user to seamlessly transfer these
documents from PeriDOC to Lotus Notes

COLD/READ
Mainframes, midrange systems and PCs are used to generate large
volumes of invoices, records, journal reports, etc. This information is
printed as a spool file on powerful printers. Using these same spool files,
COLD/READ makes it possible to electronically file these documents
automatically.
These documents are then neatly organized using the proper index
information, so that they can be found alongside invoices and other
thematically linked documents like letters, files and e-mail. Now through
your PC network and even the Internet, you can find the spool documents
you need, and display and print them in their original format.
LINK
LINK 2 gives you the power to integrate documents filed with PeriDOC
directly into other existing applications, such as an accounting or retrieval
program, without any additional programming. With a click of a button,
LINK 2 displays all the documents that apply to the current context of your
application. For example, all the invoices filed about a certain customer or
the delivery forms associated with a particular booking. LINK 2 helps you
store documents as well. To make indexing a breeze, LINK 2 takes
keywords out of an application menu and transfers them right into the
PeriDOC storage menu.

CDSERVICE
CDSERVICE is designed exclusively for the service bureau that wants to
put their customers’ documents onto CD/DVD-ROM. CDSERVICE
provides a seamless front-end to PeriDOC allowing you to master CDs
easily.

CDMAKER
This innovative module increases your storage media choices by allowing
you to store PeriDOC file cabinets on compact disk (CD) and digital
versatile disc (DVD) media. The recording process is performed fully
automatically. No additional recording software is needed. Documents
stored on CD-ROM or DVD can be accessed as an integral part of a
PeriDOC document management solution, or alternatively, as a self-
contained medium in a stand-alone application.

ISIS PRO
Technology with ISIS PRO
ISIS PRO provides another powerful scanning option with PeriDOC. Built
on industry standard technology from Pixel Translations® the full feature
set of an ISIS capable scanner can be utilized with ISIS PRO.

TOOLKIT
TOOLKIT gives you the power to integrate document management
functions in custom applications. It provides the programming interface
that provides access to PeriDOC functions straight out of other
applications such as Microsoft Office.

READER
You can look at PeriDOC single and multi-page TIFFs with the READER
without having PeriDOC software. When displaying PeriDoc TIFF files,
READER automatically displays all overlays containing annotations made
to the document with PeriDOC document management software. It is also
possible to display any added text notes made to the document. You may
also integrate READER into the results list of INTERNET SERVER 3, so
that you can display your documents right there with the same quality and
speed as you are accustomed to with PeriDOC Viewer.

In the modern business environment, finance plays a role in every

organization. Financial Management is an integral part of the overall

management and is mainly concerned with fund raising operations. At

present most of the industrial undertakings are faced with the problem of

effective utilization of resources.

Working Capital is the major importance to internal and external

analysis because of its close relationship with the day-to-day operations of

a business. Working Capital is the portion of asset of a business, which

are used in or related to current operations, and represented at any one

time by the operating cycle of such items as against receivables and cash.

The present study is an effort to analyze the working capital

management of Helios Solutions Limited over a period of time and to

provide adequate support for the smooth functioning of the normal

business operations of the company.

Hence, the analysis of working capital helps the management to

have knowledge of current asset required to business concern to have

continuous production. It also helps the finance manager to know about

the type of product, market share, attitude of the management, cost of

funds, inflation the demand and the stages of business cycle.

Statement of the Problem

The present study seeks to collect in depth information of the

working capital management of Helios Solutions Limited with special


emphasis on an examination of the management performance in regard to

financial management. One among the reason the company could perform

well is the efficient management of the company’s working capital, which

automatically includes inventory, account receivables and cash i.e., the

proper management of working capital has brought access to this

company. The present study undertakes to deal with the net concept of

working capital i.e., excess of current assets over current liabilities.

• Common size balance sheet analysis

• Comparative balance sheet statement


Statistical Tools Implemented are

• Z-Score analysis

• Regression analysis

Ratio Analysis

Current Ratio:

Current Assets, Loans & Advances

Current Ratio =

Current Liabilities & Provisions

This ratio measures the solvency of the company in the short-term.

Current assets are those assets, which can be converted into cash within

a year. Current liabilities and provisions are those liabilities that are

payable within a year. A current ratio of 2:1 indicates a highly solvent

position.

Quick Ratio or Liquid Ratio:

Current Assets, Loans & Advances - Inventories

Quick Ratio =

Current Liabilities & Provisions – Bank Overdraft

Quick ratio is used as a measure of the company’s ability to meet

its current obligations. Since bank overdraft is secured by the inventories,


the other current assets must be sufficient to meet other current liabilities.

A quick ratio of 1:1 indicates highly solvent position. This ratio is also

called the acid test ratio. This ratio serves as a supplement to the current

ratio in analyzing liquidity.

Comparative Balance Sheet Statements:

The comparative balance sheet analysis is the study of the trend

of the same items, group of items and computed items in two or more

balance sheets of the same business enterprise on different dates. The

changes in periodic balance sheet items reflect the conduct of a business.

The changes can be observed by comparison of the balance sheet at the

beginning and at the end of a period and these changes can help in

forming an opinion about the progress of an enterprise.

Balance sheets as on two or more different dates are used for


comparing the assets, liabilities and the net worth of the company.
Comparative balance sheet analysis is useful for studying the trends of an
undertaking.
Advantages

• Comparative statements help the analyst to evaluate the

performance of the company.

• Comparative statements can also be used to compare the

performance of the firm with the average performance of the

industry between different years.

• It helps in identification of the weaknesses of the firm and remedial

measures can be taken accordingly.


Common Size Balance Sheet Analysis:

A statement in which balance sheet items are expressed as

the ratio of each asset to total assets and the ratio of each liability is

expressed as a ratio of total liabilities is called common size balance

sheet. The figures are shown as percentages of total assets, total assets

and total liabilities. The total assets are taken as 100 and different assets

are expressed as a percentage of the total. Similarly, various liabilities are

taken as a part of total liabilities.

The figures shown in financial statements viz., Balance Sheet

are converted to percentages so as to establish each element to the total

figure of the statement and these statements are called Common Size

Statements. These statements are useful in analysis of the performance

of the company by analyzing each individual element to the total figure of

the statement. These statements will also assist in analyzing the

performance over years and also with the figures of the competitive firm in

the industry for making analysis of relative efficiency.

Operating Cycle Analysis:

A new concept, which is gaining more and more importance in

recent years, is the ‘Operating Cycle Concept’ of Working Capital. The

operating cycle refers to the average time elapses between the acquisition

of raw materials and the final cash realization.

Operating Cycle consists of four stages:


• The raw materials and stores inventory stage.

• The work-in-progress inventory stage.

• The finished goods inventory stage.

• The receivable stage.

Regression Analysis :

A fundamental and versatile research technique that seeks to

explain an outcome (dependent) variable in terms of multiple predictor

(independent) variables. This analysis reveals the nature and strength of

the relationship between each predictor variable and the outcome,

independent of the influence from all other predictors. The term typically

refers to Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, which models a linear

relationship among variables.

Z -Score Analysis:

The dozens of financial ratios seem to provide different answers to

the same simple question of “How will a company do”. So, everyone is on

the lookout for financial models that summaries one general aspect of

overall company performance. An example is the Z score, which reveals

the efficiency of working capital management.

The original Z score was created by Edward I Altman at New York

University in the mid 1960’s and it has stood as the test of time. Out of a

selection of 22 financial ratios. Altmann found 5 that could be combined to


discriminate between the bankrupt and non-bankrupt companies in this

study. The interesting thing about the Z score is that is good analytical tool

no matter what shape the company is in. Even if the company is very

healthy, if the Z score to fall sharply, warning bells should ring.

• The study is needed to identify the current position of the company

through Z-Score Analysis.

Interpretation

The ideal ratio between current assets and current liabilities is 2:1.

This is insisted because even if current assets are reduced to half i.e., 1,

the creditors will be able to get their dues in full. Here, the ratio is showing

a decreasing trend, which may be due to rise in production.

Interpretation

The ideal quick ratio is 1. Here, the analysis shown as decrease

trend due to increasing inventory level which has resulted in increase in

current liabilities. When there is no corresponding increase in liquidity of

current asset, where as the current liabilities as gone up. The quick ratio is

tend to decrease since the company is in an oligopolystic market, the

company is in an position to liquidate its current asset and gain an recov-

ery of money within shortest possible time. The downward trend in the

quick ratio therefore has no significant and is not representational.

Interpretation

Current Financial Position and Liquidity Position

The current assets have decreased by Rs.14923 lakhs (8.64%) and

sundry debtors have increased by Rs.12642 lakhs (52%). On the other

hand, there has been a decrease in inventories amounting to Rs.10075

lakhs. The current liabilities have increased by Rs.7270.98 lakhs (11.24%).


This further confirms that the company has no improvement in the short-

term financial position.

Long Term Financial Position

There is an increase in fixed assets of about Rs.5118 lakhs

(2.49%). There is also an increase in long-term loans of about Rs.10572

lakhs (9.44%). This depicts that fixed assets are not only financed from

long term sources but part of working capital has also been financed from

long term sources. This fact depicts that the policy of the company is to

purchase fixed assets from the long-term sources of finance thereby not

affecting the working capital.

There is an increase in loaned funds than the share capital, so this

increases the interest liability for the company.

Profitability of the Concern

There is a decrease in the reserves and surplus of the company

of about Rs.19723 lakhs (17.94%). This is due to appropriation of deferred

tax liability.

ition.

Long Term Financial Position

term sources but part of working capital has also been financed from long

term sources. This fact depicts that the policy of the company is to pur-

chase fixed assets from the long-term sources of finance thereby not af-

fecting the working capital.

There is an increase in loaned funds than the share capital, so this

increases the interest liability for the company.

Interpretation

In common size balance sheet analysis in HELIOS, it is found that

the total assets and liabilities are taken as 100% total and other compon-

ents of assets and liabilities are also expressed in terms compared to total

asset and total liability. The total capital % shows a decreasing trend for

the last two years.

There is also a decline in reserves & surplus in the last few years

due to introduction of AS-22. The percentage of loan funds is increasing


which states the availing of fresh loan from the year 05 to 06 for the pur-

pose of expansion of the business.

The total net worth has decreased by 10%, which is because of

fluctuation in the reserves & surplus. The company adopted regrouping of

certain loans and advances under crude oil loan transaction in line with in-

dustry’s practice of representing the same. This has vitiated the trend in

current liabilities from the old years.

Fixed assets have increased in figures during all the years of study.

It is due to a part of current liability arrives net profit have contributed to

the increase in fixed assets.

The current asset part has considerably decreased since 2003 and

it is due to decrease in loans and advances. There is no decrease in in-

ventory; it is because the company is doing mass production, so as to re-

duce the production cost.

Interpretation
Operating Cycle refers to the average time elapses between the

purchase of raw material and final cash collection. Cash is used to buy the

raw materials and other stores.

The collection process of the company has improved, but the com-

pany is not paying its trading creditors first, instead it has started closing

the outside loans. However, the company can improve the turnover be-

cause of that reason, the creditors has allowed a maximum credit of 37

days for each supply.

The number of cycles if maximized, then it means that the com-

pany is able to collect the payments in time and they are using the funds

efficiently for the production purposes. If the company maintains the

present year situation, then there will be a comfortable growth for the com-

pany’s business.

Operating Cycle shows an increasing trend because of increase in

debtors and delayed payments to creditors. The decrease in the operating

cycle of times reveals the possibility of delay or decrease in yielding the

profit.

To find out the values of a, b

Σy = na + bΣx

Σxy = aΣx + bΣx2

By substituting this Equation


1483 = 5a + 47804 b ------------------(Multiplied by 47804)

17373081 = 47804 a + 519978244 b ------------(Multiplied by 5)

70893322= 239020 a + 2285222416 b

a = - 188.69

The Future Sales Estimation for the year 2009 is 23000 lakh and for the

year 2010, it is 25700 lakh.

By substituting the values of a and b in the regression line y on x is

FOR 2009

y = - 188.69 + 0.05076 (23000)

y = Rs. 978.79 lac.


FOR 2010

y = -188.69 + 0.05076 (25700)

y = Rs. 1115.84 lac.

Interpretation

Here the variable `y’ is taken as Profit and `x’ is taken as Sales. The

estimated sales for 2009 is based on the actuals for nine months up to

December 2008 and realistic estimates for the balance three months of

the year 2008-09. The estimated sales for 2009-10 is based on the

budget estimates by the organization with a growth rate of about 12%

factored over the Revised Estimates for 2008-09.

The projection of Rs. 978.79 lac. and Rs. 1115.84 lac. for the next

two years indicates increase in profit due to estimation that the price of

Raw Material and Finished goods may vary at a higher rate that result in

such a huge increase in profit.

Thus the regression analysis estimates a higher quantum of

profitability for the organization in the coming two years 2008-09 and

2009-10.

y = Rs. 1447.79 lac.


Interpretation

Here the variable `x’ is taken as Sales and variable `y’ as Debtors.

The estimated sales for 2009 is based on the actual for nine months up to

The projection of Rs.1293.95 lac. and Rs. 1447.79 lac. indicates

increase in debtors due to increase in sales. Most of the sales made by

the company is taken as credit sales. So increase in sales will result in

increase in the amount of debtors.

Thus the regression analysis estimates a higher quantum of sundry

debtors for the organization for the coming two years 2008-09 and 2009-

FOR 2010

y = 461.34 + 0.06163 (25700)


y = Rs. 2045.31 lac.

Interpretation

Here the variable `x’ is taken as Sales and variable `y’ as Working

Capital. The estimated sales for 2009 is based on the actual for nine

months up to December 2008 and realistic estimates for the balance three

months of the year 2008-09. The estimated sales for 2009-10 is based on

the budget estimates by the organization with a growth rate of about 12%

factored over the Revised Estimates for 2008-09.

In this analysis, working capital required for the next 2 years is

projected. Here the working capital is projected based on estimated future

sales that in turn is derived by experience. The projected Working Capital

of Rs. 1878.90 lac. and Rs. 2045.31 lac. for the next two years is required

because of expected increase in sales.

The projection of Rs.1878.90 lac. and Rs. 2045.31 lac. indicates

increase in working capital due to increase in production and in sales.

Most of the production and other operational requirements like utilities and

repairs and maintenance are made by the company out of working capital.

So increase in sales will result in increase in the amount of working capital

demands also.

Thus the regression analysis estimates a higher quantum of

working capital (net) for the organization for the coming two years 2008-09

and 2009-10.

Interpretation
(i) The sales have continuously increased in all the years except

2008. The percentage in 2008 is 228 as compared to the base

of 100 in 2007. The increase in sales is quite satisfactory.

(ii) The earning has increased substantially in the year 2007 and

2008. This is due to increase in value at production and higher

demand for the product.

(iii) Dividend has been increasing continuously from the year 2007

to 2008 except 2008. There is a decrease in the year 2008 that

was due to decrease in earnings. Dividend payment at HELIOS

show a good track record and shown an increasing trend for the

forth coming year.

evidenced by the absolute numbers of PBT and PAT. The PBT

is at 633% and PAT at 487% over the base year figure of 2007.

working capital was Rs.15.21 lakh for 2005 as against 10.79

lakh for 2007 which is140% of the base year figure.

which is mainly funded by the SBI and consortium of other

banks.

(viii) The debt equity was at its best in 2007 started slowly moving

unfavourably due to huge borrowings resorted. As of 2008, it

stood at 1.20 which is anyway a better figure considering the

massive expansion programme.

(ix) The EPS has shown remarkable recovery and improvement and

it was Rs.40.08 for 2008 as against Rs.8.21 for 2007, which is

about 488% over the base year figure.

(x) The company has been aggressively pursuing the dividend

policy decisions and it declared a whopping 120% dividend for

2007-08 entailing an outgo of Rs.178.71 lakh which was

equivalent to a payout of about 30%.

sound and showing an increasing trend.

 The profits achieved by the company shows an increasing trend

because of increase in sales and reduction in interest charges for

funds borrowed by the company.

increasing rend. This is because of rise in credit giving policy

made by the company that is limited for up to 30 days.

increasing trend indicating delayed payment being made to the

creditors. This indicates more time taken by the company to

repay the suppliers. However, the payment period is extended up

to 40 days

no holding up of inventory thereby saving interest on investment

amount. This is because of effective production techniques

implemented by the company.

increased slightly from the last year’s ratio. This is because of

decrease in Current Liability of the Company.

 Though the liquidity position of the company is moderate, it

showed an decreasing trend for the last two years. This is

because of decrease in Other Current Assets of the firm.

 It is found that there is an increase in Reserves and Surplus

Funds. The Total Resources of the company for the last five

years is showing an increase in trend, which will contribute to a

major extend for the company’s production purposes in future.

 There is a sudden decrease in the Cash Balance of the company in


the year 2005-2006. The cash balance has increased in the year
2006-2007.this may be due to prudent investment/portfolio
management being forwarded in the company.

 The Working capital position of the company is satisfactory. The


working capital is decreased in the year 2003-2004 because of
consistency in maintaining the required level of inventories.

 The Working capital requirement of the company to carry out the


production purpose is satisfactory and is not suffering from any
inadequacy.

 It is projected from Z-Score analysis that the company is financially


sound in the year 2005-2006. In the year 2006-07, it started
showing slightly decreasing trend. But in the current year it started
increasing.

 It is projected from Operation Cycle the rotation of Debtors and


Creditors are within the acceptable time period. The Duration of
Operation Cycle and operating Cycle in Times is moderate.

 The Fund Flow Analysis reveals that the Total Sources position of
the company is satisfactory and enough to meet the future
requirements of the company to carry out its activities.

 The Common Size Balance sheet shows a decreasing trend in


Current Assets and Current Liabilities of the firm indicating changes
in policies of repayment made by the company.

company for the last 5 years is satisfactory. This analysis is
showing a decreasing tend in all aspects such as Earnings before
Interest and tax, Profit After tax, total assets, Net worth and
Dividend.

 It is projected from Regression Analysis that there will be a


decrease in profits for the forthcoming year. This may be due to
changes in Government Policies and wide fluctuations in raw
material Prices etc. Due to sample constraint, this analogy may not
however be sustainable.

 It has been found out that overall solvency position of the company
is satisfactory and it shows an increasing trend. This indicates the
enhancement of credit worthiness of the company.
 The company may try to reduce the Inventory Turnover Period by
using the Inventory Management techniques such as EOQ and
ABC analysis.

 The payment policy adopted by the company to the suppliers can


be reviewed. This may result in saving of considerable amount of
interest further from 6.3% on long-term loans.

 The credit policy given can also be reviewed so that considerable


amount of funds may not and up locking in debtors. This will result
in increase of cash balances of the company.

 Effective Costing Techniques may be implemented to control the


operating expenses incurred by the company.

 Effective measure have to be carried out to resume the export of


products for the current year, which will add further sophistication
and low cost techniques of production.

 The company may maintain the same Debt-Equity ratio in the


future. So that I can increase EPS.

 For their new products. It is better to choose different debt mix that
is cheaper. An alternative proposal of External Commercial
borrowings will be cheaper for the company based on terms and
conditions of the foreign fluctuations etc.
 There has been slightly decreasing trend in the financial soundness
of the company in the near future. Effective steps should be taken
to find the root cause and control it.

 The solvency position of the company can be further improved by


arresting the borrowings made by the company. If the steps were
not taken, this may affect the long-term credit interest of the
company.
 To conclude that, Helios Solutions Limited has mobilized the funds
in the same manner the funds are invested productivity in the
capital asset as well as working capital. There is a sudden
increased in market price during the year 2005-2006 which is
because of better control from top-level management.

 The company has a high operational efficiency, the profits for the
company has increased over the past years which proves that the
company has taken measure to generate profits by improving its
capacity utilization which would maximize the generation of
resources for expansion, growth and diversification.

 There is a sudden increase in market price during the year 2005-


2006 which is because of better control from top-level
management.

 To end with, I conclude that if the company takes the above actions
as suggested, the company would remain no one leader in the
Industry in future, with its excellent past records.
