7. Ratio Analysis (ACTIVITY RATIO):
Inventory turnover ratio has been decreasing from last four
years for 2013 it is almost 7 times a year which is somewhat
less the industry average of 8.5 accordingly inventory holding
period has also increased which needs improvement, but other
reason can be they have increased their production in
consecutive years.
Raw material turnover ratio & WIP turnover Ratio are
constant over the few years that mean their production process
has been working at desirable expectation but selling is less
compared to production. However WIP turnover Ratio has been
increased phenomenally that can be the reason of less sells
compared to fast production.

9. Ratio Analysis
(LEVERAGE RATIOS):
Debt to Equity Ratio compared to cement industry d/e ratio is kept
at 0.8 which can be called very well; in case of urgency company
can raise loan, same in case of Debt to Capital Ratio.
Interest converge ratio is 3.4 rupee last year which is also good
firm is able to meet the Interest obligations.
(VALUE RATIOS):
• M/B ratio is always 6+ over the time. A company with a very
high share price relative to its asset value, on the other
hand, is likely to be one that has been earning a very high
return on its assets.
• Q ratio < 1 over the time means the stock is undervalued.
• P/E Ratio is 7 in 2013; Investors in the stock are willing to
pay 7rp for every 1rp of earnings that the company
generates. However, this is a far too simplistic way of
viewing the P/E because it fails to take into account the
company's growth prospects.
