 PREFACE

A comprehensive study of “Financial Analysis” is a supplement to the theoretical classroom

knowledge. It helps to understand the subject more precisely and practical implications of
various concepts.

This report tries to outline idea of professional world and helps in understanding the
pragmatic aspect of management function. Own observations are significant towards the
contribution in learning the subject. The report is therefore designed as a reference of
organization functioning rather than copy down instrument.

The purpose of project is to make me familiar with day to day functioning of business. The

present report is an effort in this direction.

 A Birds eye view of WIMCO

In 1918, the Swedish match companies setup its office in India with objective of
manufacturing & selling matches in India.

WIMCO LTD Company the oldest INDO-SWEDISH venture in the India was launched
as a private limited company on 7th September, 1923 under the name of the Western
Indian Match Corporation Limited.

Within start duration of the seven years, five manufacturing factories were setup in India.
They were situated at Calcutta (now Kolkatta), Madras (now Chennai), Ambernath,
Dhubri (now closed) and Bareilly (U.P). A separate unit was setup in the Andman Island
in 1928 (now closed). The company become a public company on the 19th July 1929, the
company was changed to its present name and fresh certificate of incorporation due to
change of name was issued by additional Registrar of companies, Mumbai of 5th Dec,
1975.

With the passage of time file Company had engaged itself in the production and sale of
safety matches at it’s also engaged presently in forestry operation.

The total match manufacturing process in WIMCO LTD is mechanized and at present
WIMCO market share to nearly 10 to 15% of total country’s requirements. The medium
and small scale unit meets the rest.

Wimco is the single largest safety matches manufacturer in India and is widely present in
the Indian market through various brands of matches like- Ship, Homelites, Tekka,
Horsehead, Three Mangoes, Cheeta Fight, Kapas and Arrow, to name a few. It is the first
company in India, to introduce 'Karborised' safety matches, which leave no 'after-glow'.

6
We are synonymous with superior quality, safe, and consumer friendly goods. Having a
wide distribution network, Wimco Limited has in recent time’s undertaken distribution of
products of other companies, which deal in Shampoos, Throat Drops, and Chewing
Gumlets. We also export our safety matches to various countries around the world. The
company's export markets include UK, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE, Tanzania, Myanmar,
Syria, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Nepan, and Iran.

Wimco also has an Engineering Division and an Agro Forestry business - "Wimco
Seedlings Ltd."

At WIMCO, the printing is done on the highly sophisticated Chambers machine the type
which is only 8 in the world and WIMCO have three machines.

 Match Manufacturing in India

Today India is one of the leading match manufactures in the world. Consumption of
matches in India is very low as compared to other country but there has been a notable
5% consumption annually in the recent past.

In 1910 few JAPANESE SETTLE IN Calcutta producing matches. They transferred their
simple technique of match manufacturing to the residents, however they could not get
any success in the important competition and were soon out of manufacturing.

There are very sort of match manufacturing factories in India. In WIMCO is one of the
biggest having five centers all over the country?

 History of WIMCO Company

Introduction to common Matches

The common matches box that is a part of each and almost every household in the
modern day work it was invented by a chemist “ Johny Walker” of Stockton on trees,
England all by accident, while conducting an experiment. He had been using a stick to
stir a mixture of potash (Potassium Carbonate and Antimony) when he scrapped. It
against the stone floor to get rid off the blob, which had formed on the stick. It rapidly
burst into flames.

Matches were first made out of the strips of cardboard and were being sold in the boxes
of 100 since there burnt so easily. Walker soon changed his idea for flat wooden splints
of wood.

John Lund storm of Sweden invented the safety, match in 1855. This safety matches can
only catch fire by rubbed against a special surface because a part of necessary chemicals
are on the match head and other on the striking board. Production of there begin in the
very same year in Sweden and by from pry and May in the England. Book matches were
devised by an American Jouhua Pusey in 1892 and were first manufactured in 1896.

“Necessity is the mother of invention”

Although technological innovations are reaching at heights, new and new concepts are
emerging everyday, even than match boxes can be found in any of the house in present
time also.

 Financial Statement Analysis

Financial statement analysis is the process of examining relationships among financial

statement elements and making comparisons with relevant information. It is a valuable
tool used by investors and creditors, financial analysts, and others in their decision
making processes related to stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments. The goal in
analyzing financial statements is to assess past performance of a company. Investors who
buy stock are primarily interested in a company’s profitability and their prospects for
earning a return on their investment by receiving dividends and / or increasing the market
value of their stock holdings. Creditors and investors who buy debt securities, such as
bonds, are more interested in liquidity and solvency: the company’s short-and long-run
ability to pay its debts. Financial analysts, who frequently specialize in following certain
industries, routinely assess the profitability, liquidity, and solvency of companies in order
to make recommendation about the purchase or sale of securities, such as stocks and
bonds.

Analysts can obtain useful information by comparing a company’s most recent financial
statements with its results in previous years and with the results of other companies in the
same industry. Three primary types of financial statement analysis are commonly known
as horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and rind ratio analysis.

Horizontal Analysis

When an analyst compares financial information for two or more years for a single
company, the process is referred to as horizontal analysis, since the analyst is reading
across the page to compare any single line item, such a sales revenues. In addition to
comparing dollar amounts, the analyst computes percentage changes from year to year
for all financial statement balances, such as cash and inventory. Alternatively, in
comparing financial statements for a number of years, the analyst may prefer to us a
variation of horizontal analysis called trend analysis. Trend analysis involves calculating
each year’s financial statement balances as percentages of the first year, also known as
the base year. When expressed as percentages, the base year figures are always 100
percent, and percentages changes from the base year can be determined.

Vertical Analysis:

When using vertical analysis, the analyst calculates each item on a single financial
statement as a percentage of a total. The term vertical analysis applies because each
year’s figures are listed vertical on a financial statement. The total used by the analyst on
the income statement is nit sales revenue, while on the balance sheet it is total assets. This
approach to financial statement analysis, also known as component percentages, produces
common-size financial statements. Common-size balance sheets and income statements
can be more easily compared, whether across the years for a single company or across
different companies for the same year.

21
Ratio Analysis:

Ratio analysis enables the analyst to compare items on a single financial statement or to
examine the relationships between items on Iwo financial statements. After calculating
ratios for each year’s financial data, the analyst can then examine trends for the company
across years. Since ratios adjust for size, using this analytical tool facilitates
intercompany as well as intra company comparisons. Ratios are often classified using the
following terms: Profitability ratios (also known as operating ratios), Liquidity ratios, and
Solvency ratios, Profitability ratios are measures of the short-term ability of the company
to pay its debts when they come due and to meet unexpected needs for cash. Solvency
ratios indicates the ability of the company to meet its long-term obligations on a
continuing basis and thus to survive over a long period of time. In judging how well on a
company is doing, analysts typically compare a company’s ratios to industry statistics as
well as to its own past performance.

Mostly Two Statements Used In Financial Analysis:

Income Statement

A Financial statement that measure a company’s financial performance over a specific

accounting period. Financial performance is assessed by giving a summary of how the
business incurs its revenues and expenses through both operating and non-operating
activities. It also shows the net profit of loss incurred over a specific accounting period,
typically over a fiscal quarter of year. It’s also known as the “Profit and Loss Statement”
or “Statement of Revenues and Expenses”.
The income statement is the one of the three major financial statements. The other two
are the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows. The income statement is divided
into two parts the operating and non-operating sections.

The portion of the income statcmei4 that deals with operating items is interesting to
investors and analysis alike because this section discloses information about revenues and
expenses that are a direct result of the regular business operations. For example, if a
business creates sports equipment, then the operation items sections would talk about the
revenues and expenses involved with the production of sports equipment.

The non-operation items section discloses revenues and expense information about
activities that are not tied directly to a company’s regular operations. For example, if the
spurt equipment company sold a factory and some old plant equipment, then this
information would be in the non- operating items section.

22
Purpose of the Income Statement

The primary purpose of the income statement is to report a company’s earnings to

investors over a specific period of time. Year ago, tie income statement was referred to as
the Profit and Loss (or P&L) statement, and has since evolved into the most well-known
and widely used financial report on wall street. Many times, investors make decisions
based entirely on the reported earnings from the income statement without consulting the
balance sheet or cash flow statements (which, while a mistake, is a testament to how
influential it is).

Using Income Statement Analysis to Calculate Expenses,

Earning, Financial Ratio and Profit Margins

To an enterprising investor, income statement analysis reveals much more than a

company’s earnings. It provides important insights into how effectively management is
controlling expenses, the amount of interest income and expense, and the taxes paid.
Investors can use income statement analysis to calculate financial ratios that will reveal
the rate of return the business is earning on the shareholder’s retained earnings and assets;
they can also compare a company’s profits to its competitors by examining various profit
margins such as the gross profit margin, operating profit, margin, and net margin.

 Ba1ance Sheet
A financial statement that summarizes a company’s assets liabilities and shareholder’s
equity at a specific point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an
idea as to what the company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by the
shareholders.

The balance sheet must follow the following formula:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder’s Equity

Each of the three segments of the balance sheet will have many accounts within it that
document the value of each. Accounts such as cash, inventory and property are on the
asset side of the balance sheet, while on the liability side there are accounts such as
accounts payable or long- term debt. The exact accounts on a balance sheet will differ by
company and by industry, as there is no one set template that accurately accommodates
for the differences between different types of business

It’s called a balance sheet because the two sides balance out. This makes sense: A
company has to pay for all the things it has (assets) by either borrowing money
(liabilities) or getting it from shareholders (shareholder’s equity).

The balance sheet is one of the most important pieces of financial information issued by a
company. It is a snapshot of what a company owns and owes at that point in time. The
income statement, on the other hand, shows how much revenues and profit a company
has generated over a certain period. Neither statement is better than the other rather, the
financial statements are built to be used together to preset a complete picture of a
company’s finances between the amount purchased and the amount paid is added to net
income if preparing the cash flow statement using the indirect method. Cash payments for
land, building, and equipment purchases, repayments of loans, purchases of treasury
stock, and payment of dividends may be found by performing similar analysis on the
appropriate accounts.

27
28
In present mostly uses these techniques in analysis-
1. Cash flow analysis
2. Fund flow analysis
3. Ratio analysis
4. Preparation of comparative statements

Cash flow

Cash flow is essentially the movement of money into and out of your business; it’s the
cycle of cash inflows and cash outflows that determine your business’ solvency.

Cash flow analysis is the study of tie cycle of your business’ cash inflows and outflows,
with the purpose of maintaining an adequate cash flow for your business, and to provide
the basis for cash flow management.

Cash flow analysis involves examining the components of your business that affect cash
flow, such as accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and credit terms. By
performing a cash flow analysis on these separate components, you’ll be able to more
easily identify cash flow problems and find ways to improve your cash flow.

A quick and easy way to perform a cash flow analysis is to compare the total unpaid
purchases to the total sales due at the end of each month. If the total unpaid purchases are
greater than the total sales du, you’ll need to spend more cash than you receive the next
month, indicating a potential cash flow problem.

Fund flow

It is a statement showing changes in financial position, in sources (fund received) and

application (usage of fund) manner with following basis:

1) Working capital base.

2) Cash flow (cash budget) base.
3) All resources base.

54
 Inventory Management & Control
Inventory is a list for goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held
available in stock by a business. In accounting inventory is considered an asset. Inventory
is a major part of working capital thus its management is very necessary.

Inventory Management refers to the process of managing the stocks of finished

products, semi-finished products and raw materials by a firm. Inventory management, if
done properly, can bring down costs and increase the revenue of a firm.

How much one should invest in inventory management? The answer to this question
depends on the volume and value of inventory as a percentage of the total assets of a
firm. The importance of inventory management varies according to industries. For
example, an automobile dealer has very high inventories, sometimes as high as 50 per
cent of the total assets, whereas in the hotel industry it may be as low as 2 to 5 per cent.

Aspects of Inventory Management

Aspects of inventory management are as follows:

1. Requisition: This document is prepared by store department work. In which they

provide information about the reorder level n lead time of the items to the
purchase department so that they can make quotation for purchase.

ROL = Lead time * consumption

2. Economic Order Quantity: EOQ is a quantity at which all the cost are
minimum i.e procurement cost, storage cost etc. This quantity is also calculated
by store department.

3. Quotation: it is prepared by purchase department and it contains all the

information regarding quantity and quality of the items.

4. Purchase Department: After analyzing the quotations presented by the various

supplier purchase department make the purchase for the items. Documents of
purchase should always be in written.

5. Receiving & Inspection: it is store department’s responsibility to receive &

inspect the item at the time of receiving.

6. Storage: it is store department’s work to keep the inventory in the right manner.

7. Store ledger: accounting department make the store ledger so that inventory can
be manage effectively. In store ledger location (bin numbers) of every item is
specified.

55
 8. Physical Verification: It refers to check the inventory available in store ledger
and store. External auditors do physical verification with the help of store and
account department.

In Wimco SAP is used for inventory management. To know the correct position
of inventory we did physical verification of few items which are as follows:

Technique of Inventory Control where there are a large number of item in the
inventory, it becomes essential to have an efficient control over all items of stores.
However comparatively, greater care should be given to items of higher value. The
movements of certain manufacturing may consist of a small number of items
representing a major portion of inventory value and a large number of items may
represent a minor portion of inventory value. In such cases, a selective approach
should be followed.

The most modern technique for controlling the inventory is a value analysis popularly
known as ABC analysis which attempts to relate, how the inventory value is
concentrated among the individual item.

In Wimco ltd ABC analysis is used for inventory control.

Steps in ABC analysis

Following procedure can be followed for classification of inventory in A, B & C

category:

1. First, the quality of each material expected to be used in a given period

should be estimated.

2. Secondly, the money value of the items of materials, s chosen should be

calculated by multiplying the quantity of each item wit price.

3. Thirdly, the items should be rearranged in the descending order of their

value irrespective to their quantity.

4. Fourthly, a running total of all the values and items will then be taken and
then the figure so obtain should be converted into percentage of the gross
total.

5. Fifthly and lastly, it will be found that a small number of a first few items
may amount to a large percentage of the total value of the items. The
management, then, will have to take a decision as to percentage of the
total value or the total number of items which have to be converted by A,
B & C categories.

utilize its cash in more operating activities so that they can earn more profit.

 Wimco should use more debt capital in its capital structure to get benefit of
financial leverage.

 During our visit we observe that there is scope of wastage reduction to

reduce the cost.

 We also observed that there is scope of reducing inventory to improve the

liquidity of the company.

 We observe that for proper inventory management there should be proper

bin and specified bin number for each item in stores.

Conclusion

Conclusion

62
According to my analysis after acquisition by ITC company has improved its
position from some years. In 2005-06 company had a loss of Rs 2384.74 lacs
where as in 2006-07 company got the profit of Rs 687.3 lacs and in current year
2007-08 company got 633.64 lacs of profit. This shows company is improving its
condition and covering the losses. So still company need to get more profit by
which as soon as possible company cover-up its losses and pay dividend to its
shareholders. For this company has to reduce its wastage, to increase its
production and sales in high volume.
