NTRODUCTION
Sugar is one of the essential commodities of life and plays important role in the dietary of human beings. It is the cheapest food for purchasing energy as an Anna (1/16 of rupees) would buy 545 calorie when laid out on sugar as against 395 for bread, 182 for cheese and 190 for milk. In addition to an essential energy. It is the cheapest and most abundant pure organic chemical available to so many other industries as it is put to a wide variety of industrial use. e.g. in hair tonics, shoe polishes, photographic material explosives, tanning leather and silvering mirrors etc. It serves as a starting material for the synthesis of vitamin B2, also.
There are different sources from which sugar is manufacturing, but sugar cane and sugar beets are the main sources of the word sugar supplies. Commercial sugar are also obtained from other plants such as maple, palms, coconuts and apple etc but only in negligible quantities, sugarcane, however, furnished almost two‑third of world sugar supplies. Sugarcane, besides sugar, yield many other product like fiber molasses, industrially important acids and valuable maxise.
HISTORY OF SUGAR
The origin of English word sugar can be traced back to age old Hindu civilization, when words like Sharkara. In Sansikrat and Sansikrat and Sakkara in prakrit existed to convey the same sense.Then it may be traced through all the Aryana languages, as schaker in Persian, sukkar in Arabic, sincer in Assyrian, zucchero in Italian, sucre in French, zucher in German, saccharum in Latin and ozucarin Spanish etc stand as Testimony for its origin from sharkara.
It would thus clear that India is the birth place of the manufacturing of sugar from sugarcane.The history of modern sugar industries in India may be said to begain from 1932. Five factories, however, were started in 1932-1935 but excepting one, at Rahwali, all other enterprises failed due to their uneconomic size. Inadequate sugar cane supplies and inefficient management.
At the time of partition we had the only factory at Rahwali in the Punjab. Hence we had to start with a scarth. Punjab is the second largest sugar cane growing province in Indo‑Pakistan sub‑continent.Now update position of sugar industries in Pakistan is 38 sugar factories in Punjab and 31 in Sindh and 6 in NWFP and Pakistan is now exporting sugar to other countries.

ADMINISTRATIVE / MANAGEMENT STYLES
ADMINISTRATIVE / MANAGEMENT STYLES
Success or failure of any organization largely depends on the management. Mangers have following four major roles to perform.
Planning
Organizing
Leading
Controlling
For effective performance of the above mentioned functions the managers need different skills. Like, effective managers require communication skills, in written, oral and non verbal form. They should be creative and innovative, Should be able to manage time and stress. Motivate and influence the others. They should be able to manage the conflicts etc.
There are two major sections of the organization.
.
1 Plant.
2 Head office
Plant related administration is only up to plant. plant administration administer only the plant. and head office administer only the head office. HRM deals with both plant and head office. here in head office peoples are very well discipline’s there is no chain of strike or dispute in head office. Same is the case with the plant.
Here both in head office and in plant administrator are very strick by the rules and regulation. Otherwise the here is very friendly. people fell free to talk with each other. Here the administrative style is democratic not the autocratic.
Administration styles has its impact on the people here but senior executive here have a combine type of attitude at the time of closing they are really strict but at beginning little relax.
But when you talk about the styles on the morale of the people. Then you can take the example of this that
After its merger with the lever brother. people are very much frustrated about their future.they are very much cautious that what will be happened in the future with respect to their jobs.and all these things are really effecting the efficiency of the people performance.the is the one vview of the picture but on the other there are a bundle of incentives like hajj ticket,allowances,really incouraged the employee to show there best.and they are showing their best here.because all these activities incouraged the people.here the working envirnment is very friendly mess and tea was the two thing which I am really missing.there is no question that when you provide all these facilities then the morale of employees will automatically rise.

Production facilities
PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
The head of this department is called the Production Manager. The Production Manager is also is called the Deputy Manager of the project. There are four Shift Chemists and one Assistant Chemist under the control of Production Manager.
The main function of this department is to produce maximum sugar from the cane available to the factory with minimum possible sugar losses during manufacturing by controlling various units, processes and operations.
Functions Of Production Department
Function of production department may be classified as follows
1- PRODUCTION
Supervising the process of production in three shifts viz; crushing of about 1500 tons of sugar cane, delousing of juice, its carbonation,sulphitation ,filtration and concentration by operating juice heaters liming gassing etc
The process involves washing of filter cloth and press mud, operation of sulphur furnace, vacuum evaporators, steam boilers, pan boiling molasses tanks juice, molasses pumps crystallizers and centrifugal machine etc
2-LABORATORIES
Conducting special and routine analysis far quality control in each of three shifts .The laboratory chemist who is independently in charge of a shift prepares about 30 routine analyses per hour and two-lab analyses assisted by lab boys and laboratory samples conduct 10 to 15 analyses per hour.Preparation of daily weekly forth nightly and monthly reports and laboratory charts.
3-BOGGING HOUSE
Packing the good quality sugar, maintaining the stock of new empty bags, pointing the serial no. in the correct manner ,handing over the shift production to the sugar go down, repair of damaged filter cloth and preparation of new filter cloth is done by the bogging house.
4-SUGAR GO DOWN
Stocking and dispatch of sugar bags to various government agencies, dealing with the food directorate of N.W.F.P., excise departments, preparing periodical reports of disposal of stock, sticking of damaged bags during off season etc. is done by this department.
In this department the following materials are used during manufacturing.
1 Lime Stone
2 Hard Coke
3 Filter Clothe
4 Sugar
5 Cotton Bags
6 Furnace Oil
PRODUCTION PROCESS
After weightment, cane comes on cane dipper and through the cane carrier it passes through the cane leveler and then reaches at the cane cutter which cut it into small pieces. After it cane passes through cane shredder which cut it into very small pieces. Now the cane is in position to give maximum juice. Then the cane reaches at mill house where the juice is separated from baggage. Baggage go to the boiler house where it is burnt and the heat energy so gained is used for steam and to produce electricity. The juice gathers in a big tank named "mix juice tank". The juice then goes to the process house where it is heated from 25-70°C. Then line water (Ca(OH)2) is mixed in it to get rid of impurities. Then it is sent to the clarifier where it is heated from 60-105°C and by the Co‑agulent, the mud is separated from juice. Then it goes to the evaporators where water evaporators. Here the brix of juice goes from 15-65. This thick juice is named as "syrup". Now the syrup is sent to A-Pan where it is heated so much that it reaches at its supersaturated point. A massecuite is produced by adding small amount of grain in it. Crystals of sugar and molasses is present in A - Massecuite. To separate sugar from molasses, it is sent to A - centrifugal. In this way, A - sugar is gained. The molasses separated from A - sugar is sent to B-Pans, where it is heated again and B-Massecuite is produced and the sugar gained from it is known as B-Sugar. C-sugar is also gained by the molasses of B-sugar. The molasses separated from C-sugar has a very little size of sugar in it, so it is sent to the separated thanks and it is called "Final molasses". C-sugar is used for graining purpose while A and B sugars are sent to Talo‑house for colouring purpose. Chemicals litre Phosporic Acid, talo‑flak, talo float and lime scerate are mixed in it to remove the impurities. This sugar is known as "Liqour" and to get pure sugar from it, it is sent to "refine‑pans". Refine massecuite is produced and after passing it from refine centrifugal, sugar is separated from molasses. It is passed through drier to dry it. Then it is passed through grader where "product sugar" is separated from small or big sugar. This small or big sugar is again dissolved in water to get product sugar. Product sugar is sent to godown after packing.
CANE DEPRTMENT
This is perhaps the most important department of the establishment outside the factory. Cane department produces the basic raw material which is usually in short supply and for which there are competing forces namely “Alternate crops, Gur making crushers and other sugar mills”. Therefore, only the effective working of the department can ensure full capacity operation of the mill throughout the crushing season and thus reduce the fixed costs.
This department is considered as the backbone of the mill. The function of this department is as under which are two folded.
1…. cane department
2…. cane procurement
The head of the Cane Department is known as Cane Manager. There is a Cane Inspector who is under the direct supervision of Cane Manager. The Cane Inspector examines the work and steps that are undertaken for the cane development. Also a large number of Field Men are working under the direct supervision of Cane Manager. The Field Men make crops survey and determine the cane area of the growers.
The whole area covered by the production process has been divided into 25 zones. The Field Man supervises each zone. The main reason of dividing the area into zones is to encourage more quantity of cane. Various stages of cane development and procurement are as follows.
Stages Of Cane Development And Procurement
The first stage in any development and procurement programme is the correct survey of the sugar cane crops. Each Field Man is responsible to make the first survey in his respective area.
If a long-term incentive development programmed is in preview the survey should include the entire area of the zone and cultivated land available in the zone, so that the target for bringing the area under cultivation may be ensures. For the purpose of the cane procurement a survey of the area under sugar cane only is sufficient. For the procurement purpose complete list of the Mohall’s under various field staff is to be prepared showing distance of each mahal or village from the mill. Convenient place in consultation with the local people are also to be fixed as loading centers and their accurate distances from the mill be certain and declared which will form the bases of payment of transportation charges. The list of all the loading centers shows their distance from the mills is accurately and carefully prepared.
The cane superintendent will provide this to the Cane Accountant for calculation of transport charges where such a calculation is required. While preparing list of villages, each village should be continuous to the other. This list and serial orders will also be followed in the programme register and during the issuance of indents.
SURVEY
The field men will commence the survey. Normally the survey should start when the crop is about three feet high as that plot of sugar cane can easily be seen from the distance and no plot is missed during the survey. The field man will prepare a weekly advance programmes of the visit of the villages in his area and also makes an announcement among the sugar cane growers of his visit, so that they may also be able to contact the field man during the visit.
Local information has to be collected about the area actually surveyed. Physically, by walking around the plot and counting the number of steps he should do the survey. The surveyor step should be measured which will give the length of the plot.
All survey records should be prepared in the name of the owner of the land and not subtenants unless there are any special circumstances in any particular case.
During the survey the Field Man contacts the growers and then takes a note of their demand for seeds sand fertilizers. The field man then prepare the demand schedule for the respective zone and provide it to the department for necessary action.
CHECKING OF THE SURVEY
The field man will do the actual field survey. The duty of the Cane Inspector of the area will be to see that the survey is being done is accurate. To achieve this the Cane Inspector will visit these areas along with the Field Man who has surveyed it so that the cane inspector will take up any plot and first see the area noted by the field man and then he himself survey the plot. If any difference is noted it will be immediately checked out. Thus checked out is filled in survey checking (D.D. form) and sent to the cane superintendent every week along with a weekly progress report and explanation of the field man for any discrepancy in his founding during the checking.
If facilities are available survey record should also be checked with survey record of the revenue authorities.
Second survey
In the month of February and March the field man makes the second survey of his zones. The field man examines whether the grower has shown all the seeds as provided by the mills. They also point out he problem of the grower and try to solve them as son as possible.
Third survey
The-Field Man makes the third survey in the month of May and June. During the survey, he makes agreement with the grower. In his agreement the Field Man gives surety of purchases to the growers. The grower also gives surety of supplying his cane to the mill during the incoming season.
Final survey
After making the above surveys the Field Man makes an average estimate of cane production of their respective zones. After making all the necessary corrections of the completed survey it should be filled up in the survey form and sent to the cane superintendent. The cane superintendent will then issue instructions for filling up agreement forms with the zamindars
ISSUE OF PASS BOOK (IDENTITY CARDS)
Each cane grower whose record is existed will be issued a passbook, which will serve the purpose of a presentation. It will be presented by the grower at the time weightment of the cane in the mills and at the time of payment.
When all the passbooks are thus ready they will be handed over to the field staff for the distribution to the zamindar in their areas. Here the programme in charge while handing over the passbook to the field staff for distribution will note down the serial of the passbook having handed over to the Field Man and obtain his signature.
The field man while distributing the identity cards will maintain the register. The work of writing and distribution of identity cards should be completed by the end of September.
Upon the receipt of the identity cards the grower became responsible to deliver his cane to the Mill within six days. When the identity cards are issued to the grower then cane department makes transportation arrangement for the supply of the cane to the mill
The transportation facilities are provided to the growers according to their productive capacity.
WEIGHMENTS
When the vehicle arrives at the gross weight bridge the weighment clerk will observe the following procedures
THE INDENT
The vehicle has a valid indent for that day and there is no over writing or cutting on it. If there is any such thing it should bear the counter signature of an officer. The indent must be accompanied with the identity cards. If any of the documents are not present the cane will not be weighted.
PASS BOOK
The vehicle got a passbook and has brought the cane according to the movement order. There is no other load on the vehicle except the sugar cane. It must be properly placed on the weight bridge
CANE YARD
The whole area from the weightment to the cane carrier (cane yard) includes
1.Gross Weight Bridge
2-. Tare Weight Bridge
3-. Cane carrier
After gross weightment, vehicle is processed toward the cane carrier for un-loading. Then without cane vehicle it is again weighted on the tare weight bridge. Again the tare weight is deducted from the gross weight. Finally the binding material is deducted and net weight of sugarcane is remained.
When cane is weighted parchi is prepared in the quadruplicate. This parchi shows the name of the grower name of their zones and the quantity of the cane supplied to the mill
The first parchi is given to the grower. The Second copy is sent to the cane account section and the third one is given to the carriage contractor for receiving payments.
Payments
All the payments will be made on the bases of the purchasing sheets received by the Cane Accountant from the Cane Superintendent. Any purchi not appearing in the purchasing sheets will not be paid. The procedure for payment is distributed according to the above principle.
The cane superintendent after making the necessary checking will forward the posting sheet purchi and duplicate copy of gross and tare register to the cane account. While receiving these the cane accountant will check that all documents have been completed according to the requirement. If any paper is incomplete the cane account will immediately return the paper to the cane superintendent for necessary completion. When received incomplete from the cane accountant ant will check every purchi and entry in the posting sheet particularly the calculations of net weight, cane price and deductions. If any mistake are found the cane accountant will refer this to the cane superintendent for necessary action. The cane accountant may correct the calculation mistake without referring to the cane superintendent
Corrections should be made immediately in parches and posting sheets. After having their correct net weight of cane, cane price and deduction in this posting sheet are totaled. These totals should be exactly the same as the total taken of these items from the parches remarks and cutting should be properly initiated erosion and overwriting in the parches and register should not be accepted by the Cane Account and should be referred back to the Cane Superintendent for inquiry and certificate of its correctness. Now the posting sheet will be the basis on which all the payments will be made as well as the daily cane figures. The cane account will also intimate the corrected totaled net weight of the cane to the cane superintendent also so that if necessary he may adjust his daily cane figures also
The posting sheet after checking by the cane account will be countersigned by the cane superintendent and then it will be ready for payment.
It will also be sent to the cane accountant that will prepare the necessary votures with the manager’s signature for drawl and payment of the amount of cane price against this posting sheet. Payment will be made of one day of the posting sheet or the posting sheet for Monday may be paid on the next day.
If someone fails to turn up and received his payment on Monday or on Sunday then he can again have his payment on the next Monday or Sunday and not between the weeks.
While making payment the cashier will take back from the zamidar his copy of the parchee and the acknowledgement or receipt of payment on the reserve side of the account copy of the parchee, which had been checked and corrected, and according to which the payment has been made.
The cashier will receive back the parchee from the zamindar one by one from the same serial as entered in purchasing sheet and make the payment immediately after receiving the parchee .Only when one zamindar has been paid the cashier will receive the next person .The cashier should never collect more than one zamindars parchee at a time for payment .Now payment will be made unless the claimant produces the identity card also. Soon as the payment had been made the cashier will put his initial and date on the identity cards in the column provided and stamp “paid” with his initial and signature on the posting sheet .The cashier when giving account to the accounting in charge of money advanced to him for payment should also give to the account in support of payment made by him. The zamindars copy of the parchee to against which the payment had been made. These will claimant chances of wrong fictions payment.
The accountant in charge may however adopt any other procedure in addition to the above for the accuracy of payment and accounting.
Payment through bank
In case of payment through bank the procedure of checking the posting sheet will be same except that after checking the posting sheet, it will be handed to the Bank for payment .The bank while claiming reimbursement of amount paid by them should produce the zamindar’s copy of the parchee of the same value. Under agreement, the bank should not make any payment without production of the identity cards and after payment the band cashier should sign and put his initial on the identity cards in the column provided for.

The cane reaching the mill is weighted and voucher is prepared in quadruplicate. The voucher shows the gross weight of cane. The first copy of voucher is given to the grower and second copy is sent to the cane department .The third copy is sent to the cane account section and the last copy is sent to the carriage contactor.
After receiving copy of the voucher, cane department makes entry in the gross tire register. Then cash voucher and control ledger posting sheet is prepared and the posting sheet along with the tire register is sent to the main account section.

One copy of each of the above bill is sent to the concerned bank for payment .The bank makes the payment after fifteen days of receiving the bill from the cane account section.
The project has specified some branches of the scheduled banks in different zones. At the beginning of the season the lump sum amount is deposited with each branch for payment to the grower. Each branch maintains it daily records of payment to the grower and provide it at the end of each month to the cane account section The cane record of payment is checked with the posting sheet of different zones .The cane account section then makes the vouchers of payment to the cane growers and submit it to the main account section.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The process of the financial analysis basically involves viewing the financial position of the organization from different angles. The basic purpose of the making the financial analysis is to see whether the organization‘s performance is in accordance with the plans of the management and whether the objectives of the organization are being met or not. In short it is the assessment of the firm’s past, present and the anticipated future financial condition. Because of the financial analysis, firm’s strengths and weaknesses are highlighted. The financial analysis can be,
· Internal
· External
INTERNAL ANALYSIS
When the analysis is done by the internal employee of the firm then it is called as the internal analysis.
EXTERNAL ANALYSIS
When the analysis is carried out by the external analyst, then it is known as the external analysis.
OBJECTIVES OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
The particular objectives sought to the served by financial analysis determine the type of ratios as well as the extent and depth of ratio analysis to be carried out to draw conclusions. Financial analysis is carried out by;
Business Concern:
· For assessment of profitability of the business.
· For assessment of stability and financial strength of the business entity.
Management:
· Assessment of efficiency of resources utilization.
· Assessment of potentials of profitability.
· Evaluation of different management controls.
Investors:
· Assessment of earnings and divided prospects.
· Growth in economic value of investments vis-à-vis risks undertaken.
Bankers/Creditors Concern:
· Assessment of the ability of the business to service its debt obligations.
· Debt coverage.
· Proper utilization of assets financed.
Government Concern:
· Evaluation of the economic contributions of the business entity.
· Determination of the entity’s financial strength to carry social and development programs.
THE TOOLS USED
The tools used by the both internal and the external analysts are the same but the purpose for carrying out the analysis different. The tools commonly used are as follows,
1. Trend analysis
2. Common size analysis
3. Ratio analysis
TREND ANALYSIS
The word trend normally represents the direction. So in the trend analysis, we see that in which direction i.e. favorable or unfavorable, a particular firm is going.
In this analysis, a year is taken as the base and the other years’ quantities are expressed in term of percentages of the base year. Generally, the first year is taken as the base year; trend analysis involves the computation of the percentage relationship that each figure bears to the same item in the base year. This analysis helps in forming an opinion as to whether the favorable or the unfavorable tendencies are reflected from the data.
COMPARABILITY OF THE TREND ANALYSIS
The comparability of the trend analysis is affected by ,
The accounting principles and the policies followed during the years which are under consideration. Therefore, the accounting policies must remain same during the periods of comparison
The prices when these change materially. Therefore for the trend analysis to be effective, the prices must remain unchanged during the period under consideration.
Trend analysis for the “FECTO SUGAR MILLS LTD.”
INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
SALES
From the sales figure we can see that the sales are not going in the favorable direction recently. The trend in the sales, taking year 1996 as base, is as follows,
· 102.24% in 1997
· 157.2822 % in 1998
· 173.3566% in 1999 &
· 134.3538% in 2000
From the above data we can conclude that the year 1999 was the time of boom for the company. Up to 1999, the sales grew in an increasing pattern but these fell down drastically in the year 2000. It is because of the shortage of the sugar cane in the area.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
The trend is as follows,
· 135.6585% in 2000
· 182.7893% in 1999
· 169.3208% in 1998
· 113.8598% in 1997
The same trend was there in the CGS as we found in the sales. The reason being the same for the both. It is not a bad trend because the cost of goods are moving in the same direction as that of the sales.
GROSS PROFIT
The gross profit has showed the following trend,
· 126.7486% in 2000
· 118.3707% in 1999
· 87.10601% in 1998
· 34.49252% in 1997
Being closely related to the sales and the cost of sales, the gross profit is also moving in their respective direction.
SELLING EXPENSES
The trend in the selling expenses shows that the year 1999 was really the year of the selling efforts by the sales department. In this particular year, the selling expenses touched the top as compared to all the other years. The enormous rise in the sales in 1999 was also because of the selling efforts of the department. a few selling contracts were of such nature because of which the sales as well as the sales related expenses rose.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The management of the mills was able to control the management and other administrative expenses up to a great deal. In 1999, these expenses were only 109.7021% of the base year despite the fact that all the other expenses rose in this year. In 1999, there was the implementation of the long planned downsizing policy of the management of the mill. All the redundant posts were vacated by the management. It cut down the salary costs of those who have been employed for nothing. The rise in the sales was also because of the threat to the employees about the management’s severe downsizing policy implementation.
OPERATING PROFIT
The trend shown by the operating profit is quit a successful one. The rise is really a slow one, but it is a favorable one. The trend reflects the management’s real efforts towards the improvement of the profits of the company. The trend of 82%, 96% and 127% in the last consecutive years might have really boosted the spirit of the management.
OTHER INCOMES
This particular area of the company is amazingly improving for the last few years. The reasons for this particular improvement are,
· The availability of market for the wastes of the mill.
· Timely disposals of the obsolete machinery
· The investment of the idle funds in the profitable areas.
FINANCIAL CHARGES
It seems the trouble creating area for the company. Almost all the profits of the mill are turned into the losses because of the heavy financial charges. The company must consider its borrowing policy to save all the profits eaten up by the debt servicing charges.
OTHER CHARGES
In addition to the financial charges, the other charges are also something the company needs to consider seriously. The figures of 291% and 306% in the years 1999 and 2000 respectively, are conveying an alarming condition for the management of the company.
NET INCOME
Despite the sever fluctuations in the different expenditures of the company, the net income available to the shareholders is satisfactory from its trend point of view. In this area also, the year 1999 took a lead ahead of all the preceding areas. 4882.695% Increase as compared to the base year means a lot of improvement. But as we can see from the other years under consideration, this increase was not because of some permanent nature.

FIXED ASSETS
The trend in the financial position of the company is a very healthy one because the assets have an increasing trend in them which shows the capitalization of the business. In the first two years immediately following the base year, there has been a decrease in the assets i.e.6% in the 1997 and almost 13% in the 1998. but this does not mean any unhealthy sign for the company rather if we look at the capital work in progress, it is continuously at an increase i.e.39% in 1997 and 590% in 1998. it was because of the sale of the obsolete machinery in those years because of which the assets show a decreasing trend. The receipts from the sale were actually capitalized in the acquisition of new assets for the company which is reflected by the increase in the capital work in progress. This capitalization was done very swiftly because we can see the decreasing trend in the capital work in progress figure in the last two years under consideration.
LONG TERM INVESTMENTS
In 1999 and 2000, the company was also able to invest substantial amount in the long term investments. The management of the company seems to have decided for the long term capitalization process. The increasing trend in the other income is because of the incomes coming from these long term investments.
LONG TERM DEPOSITS
The long term deposits have increased up to 27% as compared to the base year. From these also, we can conclude the solvency position of the company. Here one thing I would like to add, we have seen in the income statement trends that the company is having substantial earnings from activities other than its major operations because of which, despite having little operating profits, the company was able to gather enough amounts for its shareholders. It is not a bad or ill thing, but what the management should be doing is that they must give greater importance to their main operations instead of having greater income from other sources. No doubt the management has been quite successful in earning funds for the shareholders, but actually they cannot be said to be efficient as they have not been able to show it in the activities for which they have been in the company.
CURRENT ASSETS
Current assets are basically the key indicators of the efficiency of the management in handling the business. Stores and spares are those current assets which are continuously used by the organization for the daily needs of their plant and machinery. The decrease in the stores and spares mean their utilization in the following period. There has been an almost fixed decrease in the stores in the following years as compared to the base year and this decrease has proved to be the constant one. It shows decreased need for the items of store, probably because of having replaced the worn out machinery. The other thing which can be concluded from this is that the operational workers are well aware of the need for the store items’ needs which is evident from the constant figure of the store items.
STOCK IN TRADE
Immediately after the base year, there have been piles of stock at the end of the period and it piled further in the next year. The two figures of the stock in trade i.e.3667% and 8152% in years 1997 and 1998, respectively, show the period of great tension for the management being unable to sell the stock within time. But in the year 1999, the reduction of the stock in trade from 8152% to only 27% is a great achievement of the management who must have worked at their toes to get the market share in the sales of the sugar. The other reason for this can be the anticipation of a big order in future which made them pile the stock for the period of almost two years. The enormous sales of the year 1999 might also be because of the sale of heavily piled stock.
CASH AND BANK BALANCES
The position of the cash and bank balance of the company indicate that the management does not believe in keeping the funds in the form of idle cash either in the bank or at hand. There has been an almost fixed increase in the cash balance of the company in the following years as compared to the base year.
In the four years of operations the management has been able to increase the total assets of the company up to 27% of the base year which is a very positive sign for the shareholders.
LIABILITIES SIDE
OWNERS’ EQUITY
Not being able to earn profits and having been indulged in the payment of the financial and other charges, the company has not been able to generate any profits during the last four years of its operations. It has been accumulating all of its loss due to which the equity of the company has been following a decreasing trend. It is the only sign of great worry for the management and the shareholders. This trend is also putting a very bad impact on the company image in the open market. As discussed earlier, the management should be looking forward to the efficient working of the company instead of making investments in other activities.
Looking at the figures for the liabilities, it is really amazing that at one side the management has made huge long-term investments, and has advanced the loans but on the other hand, the trend in the liability position is also an increasing one. The management must try to utilize its own resources in the business so that it may be saved from the heavy interest charges on the borrowed money. It is also advisable because the money earned on investments is much less than the money spent on borrowing the funds.
COMMON SIZE STATEMENT
COMMON SIZE ANALYSIS
In trend analysis, we see that in which direction the firm is moving by comparing the data of different years. This analysis may be of some value when the comparison of items is made with the same items in the base year. But this method is not beneficial when the comparison is of one company or several companies with the industry. It is because there exists no common base for the different companies. For such comparisons, the common size statements are used. In common size statements, the items of the financial statements are taken as one grand total .e,g.
In case of the income statement, all the items are taken as the percentage of the sales. In the balance sheet, both the assets and the liabilities are taken as the percentages of their grand total of the balance sheet.
Because of the above reason, the common size statement is also called as the “component percentage” or the “100%’ statement. These are most valuable to the analyst for studying the current financial position and operating results of the company especially in making comparisons with the company in the same industry and the industry standards.
COST OF GOODS SOLD
The vertical analysis of the company id very attractive so far as the cost of goods sold is concerned. The company has been able to control the cost of goods sold not only up to a constant level but also it has been able to bring it down up to some extent. The picture presented by the vertical analysis is as follows,
· 86.18601% in 2000
· 90.00161% in 1999
· 91.89049% in 1998
· 95.05987%in 1997
We can easily observe the downward flow of the cost of sales. It might be because of the close supervision of the operations by the management. Ideally, the CGS should have been much less than the percentages which are prevailing in the financial reports of the company.

So much level of CGS never allows the management to aggressively participate in the other promotional activities to develop the business to some higher level. Anyway, the decreasing pattern of the CGS may be because of the management’s awareness of this fact and as a result of the efforts taken by the management in this area.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit is basically the coushin that any company has for the expenses other than the manufacturing expenses. The companies able to avail a higher level of the GP are in better position to expend the resources in the activities other than the manufacturing activities. From the year 1997 to 2000, there is a very positive sign of increase in the GP which has been increased from a very poor level of only 4% to an acceptable level of 9% in 2000. It is still not up to the mark but the reason of the satisfaction is the trend that we can observe in the GP with the passage of time. As said earlier. The GP provides the cushin to the management for the incurring of the other costs, in the year 1997, where the GP percentage is only 4%, the company has gone into severe loss where it has not even been able to cover its manufacturing costs. It also means that all the other costs have been paid by the company out of its own pocket. In the next years the management has been quite successful in improving in this area and we can see that in the year,
· 1998, the company has covered all of its manufacturing costs but because of having very little left behind, it fell short of the admin and other expenses.
· 1999, in contrast to the previous two years, here the company has not only covered its operating costs, but it has also been able to save some amount for its shareholders after paying for all the expenses.
· 2000, the amount saved for the shareholders has increased which again shows a satisfactory sign for the shareholders.
SELLING &ADMIN EXPENSES
The management seems to have a firm control over these expenses because at an average these have not shown any significant fluctuations. Only in the year 1999, there have been some tremendous selling activities and as a result, the expenses have gone to a higher level. The admin expenses have increased over these years.
OPERATING PROFIT
The operating profit has been managed to increase over the years. This is because of the tight control of the management over the production processes and activities. The cost of goods sold, as explained earlier has been controlled and reduced as compared to the past. It led to an increased gross profit and the increased resultant operating profit.
FINANCIAL CHARGES
It is really the danger area for the management of the company. We can see that as the operating profit increased, the financial charges have also shown the same trend in them. These charges have been almost equal to the operating income which means that these would not allow the income’s flow to reach the shareholders’ accounts waiting in the bottom of the income statement. Only an amount less than one percent has been able to flow to the shareholders in the years where there has been some operating profits i.e. 1998, 1999 and 2000.the management of the company must consider their borrowing policies so as to minimize the adverse impact of these financial charges on the financial and the operating performance of the company.

FIXED ASSETS
Like a typical manufacturing concern, the company is having most of its investment in the fixed assets. More than 75% of the total assets are in the form of the fixed assets of the company. The company has been involved in the making of the new fixed assets and there has been a continuous exchange between the fixed assets and the capital work in progress but on the whole, the total amount invested in the fixed assets has remained constant over the years.
CURRENT ASSETS
The current assets investment of the company has remained constant to almost 19% of the total assets. It shows that the company is well aware of the fact that greater the liquid assets, smaller will be the profitability of the company. Looking at the figures, we can see that in the years 1997 and 1998, the major proportion of the current assets were the stock in trade.

In the following two years i.e. 1999 and 2000, the proportion has been shifted to the long term investments than the stocks. The reason being the sale of the stocks in those years and the investment of the receipts in the long term investments.
CURRENT LIABILITIES
The current liabilities are in the form of the short term running finance availed by the company. The current liabilities made up almost 30% of the total liabilities of the company. Out of the total current liabilities, 15% are in the form of the short term running finance and the 12% are in the form of the current portion of the long term liabilities. The remaining is contributed by the creditors and the taxation provisions and the others. The nominal portion of the creditors in the current liabilities shows that the company pays the cash to its suppliers of sugar cane through the presence of a running finance facility obtained from a bank. Like all the other industries using the agricultural products as their raw materials, the Fecto sugar mills is also dealing with its suppliers through making payment to them in cash.
LONG TERM LIABILITIES AND THE EQUITY
This area is very poor one for the company as the portion of the equity in the total liabilities is only round about 1% which shows that the company is not at all in a position to give anything to its shareholders if it gets insolvent. 1% means really nothing as equity. The other thing which is very interesting here is the presence of the subordinated loans. The loans provided by the management of the company. From here we can easily conclude that the management of the company is more interested in the company than the shareholders of the company. The portion of the subordinated loans in the total liabilities is 48%. I can even say that the shareholders of this company must have considered their investment as gone wasted and the fact that the company is still in operation is that the management has all the interest in the company for which it is making the organization move in any direction with an anticipation of recovering some thing out of it one or the other day.
RATIO ANALYSIS
“An index that relates two accounting numbers and is obtained by dividing one number by other”
Ratio Analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial analysis. It simplifies the comprehension of financial statements. Ratios tell the whole story of changes in the financial condition of business. It provides data fro inter firm comparison. Ratios highlight the factors associated with successful and unsuccessful firm. They also reveal strong firms and weak firms, over- valued and under valued firms.
It helps in Planning and forecasting. Ratios can assist management, in its basic functions of forecasting, planning, co-ordination, control and communication. Ratio analysis also makes possible comparison of the performance of different divisions of the firm. The ratios are helpful in decision about their efficiency of otherwise in the past and likely performance in future. Ratios also helps in Investment decisions in the of investors and lending decisions in the case of bankers etc.
Types of Ratios
Following the main types of ratios that we are going to calculate in this assignment,
1. Liquidity Ratios
2. Leverage Ratios
3. Coverage Ratio
4. Activity Ratios
5. Profitability Ratios
LIQUIDITY RATIOS
Liquidity ratios are used to measure a firm’s ability & solvency of the firm to meet short-term obligations. They compare short-term obligations to short-term resources available to meet these obligations. It consists of two ratios current & acid test ratio. Let us calculate these for Service Industries.
We have two types of liquidity ratios,
· Current ratio
· Acid test/quick ratio
Current Ratio
Current ratio is the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. This Ratio is also known as working Capital ratio. It is calculated as
Current ratio = Current Assets/ Current Liabilities
The current ratio for the Fecto sugar mills is as follows,
INTERPRETATION
The current ratios of the company are not very impressive. The acceptable current ratio is 2:1 but the company has never been able to maintain the acceptable level of the current ratio. Having a 1:1 current ratio means that the company has one rupee for the discharge of each one rupee of the current liabilities. The company is not in a good position to meet its current obligations as they will fall due in the recent period of time. The company has a current ratio of less than one in each of the years which shows that the companies’ short term obligations will not be fulfilled by its current assets rather some of the long term assets will also be needed for the discharge of the current liabilities. The other thing which this ratio signifies is that some of the fixed assets of the company have also been financed through the short term liabilities.
QUICK/ACID TEST RATIO: -
Quick or Acid Test Ratio is the ratio of liquid assets to current Liabilities. True liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short-term obligations as when they become due. Quick Ratio is equal to
Quick or Acid test ratio = Quick Assets/ Current liabilities
INTERPRETATION
This ratio basically shows the ability of the company to pay off its short term obligations as they become due without going for anything else. For this ratio, the current assets are reduced by the amount of the slow moving items like the stocks and the prepayments. The acceptable or the ideal ratio is 1:1 which means that the firm must have one rupee in quick assets to pay off its current liabilities as they become due. Like the current ratio, the company has never been able to achieve the desirable figure in this area also. As shown in the above table, the average ratio maintained by the company in the last five years is less than 1 which means that the company will be forced to do some thing else to pay off its current obligations.
LEVERAGE RATIOS
We all know that the firms are financed through two main sources,
· Internal sources
· External sources
Internal sources include the shareholders’ contribution in the total financing of the company and the external sources include the debts which have been obtained by the management to finance the company. Leverage ratios can be defined as,
“The ratios which show the extent to which the firm has been financed by the debts”.
These include,
· Debt to equity ratio
· Debt to total assets ratio
· Long term debt to total capitalization
DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO: -
Debt to equity ratio indicates the relationship between the external equities or outsider finds and the internal equities or shareholder fund. It is calculated to assess the extent to which the firm is using borrowed money. In other words, we can say that the debt to equity ratio answers the following question,
How the firm has financed its assets? It gives us the sources of finance and their percentages in the total financing of the company.
Debt to equity is simply calculated as
Debt to equity ratio = Total Debts / Shareholders equity
Where as:
Total debts = current liabilities + long-term debts
INTERPRETATION
We can see that the company has been consistently relying on the external debts to finance its operations. The ratio has an increasing trend in it since 1996 up to year 2000; the debt amount has gone beyond the equity. It means that for financing the activities of the firm, each rupee invested by the shareholders has been accompanied by,
· 0.12 rupee in year 1996
· 0.47 rupee in 1997
· 1.42 rupees in 1998
· 0.97 rupee in 1999 &
· 1.13 rupees in 2000
of the external lender. It is not a good sign at all as the firm would not be able to get more funds from other lenders because the coushin in its equity for the lenders has already been exhausted.
DEBTS TO TOTAL ASSETS RATIO: -
The Debts to total assets Ratio tells us how much portion of assets is a debt. This ratio serves a similar purpose to debts to equity ratio. It highlights relative importance of debt financing to the firm by showing the percentage of the firm’s that is supported by debts financing. This ratio is calculated as
Debts to Total Assets ratio = Total Debts / Total Assets
INTERPRETATION
This ratio gives us the view about the amount invested in the total assets of the company. The above figures of the company are not very good. We can see that for the last five years, the company’s assets have been predominantly financed by the external debts. The ratios of 1.05, 1.11, 1.33, 1.067, and 1.11 for the years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 respectively show that for all of these years, the each rupee of the shareholders had been accompanied by more than one rupee of the external lenders.
LONG TERM DEBT TO TOTAL CAPITALIZATION
This ratio tells us about the amount of the long term debt in the total capitalization of the firm. It is calculated by the following relation,
Long term debt to total capitalization = LT debt/ (LT debt + share holders’ equity)
INTERPRETATION
We can see that the long term debt has always been equal to the total financing of the company. As already discussed the equity is very nominal in the total financing of the company. Out of the total long term debt, we have seen that the portion of the debt provided by the management of the company is very much.
COVERAGE RATIO
“The Ratio that relates the financial charges of a firm to its ability to serve or cover them”.
This ratio tells us about how much earning is available for the servicing of the interest payable on the debts. In other words, we can say that this ratio shows that whether the income of the company is sufficient to bear the interests and other charges or not.
INTEREST COVERAGE RATIO: -
Interest Coverage ratio is designed to relate the financial charges of a firm to its ability of pay/cover them from its earning. Interest Coverage ratio is calculated as
Interest Coverage Ratio = Earning before Interest & Tax / Financial charges
INTERPRETATION
This ratio again is not a very good one because we can see that for each rupee to be paid as the interest, the company only has an amount a little over one rupee for the payment of interest. Here, I am not saying that the company will not be able to pay its interest charges; the point of tension is that it would be left with only the nominal amount to be distributed among its shareholders or even it would not have anything to pay to its shareholders after the payment of the taxation expenses for the year. This was the picture in the years 1999 and 2000, the condition was even worse in the years 1998, 1997 and 1996 where the company was not even able to pay its financial charges fully.
ACTIVITY RATIOS
Activity ratios are also known as efficiency or turnover ratios, measure how effectively the firm is using its assets. Some of the aspects of activity analysis are closely related to liquidity analysis. In this session we will primarily focus on how effectively the firm is managing tow specific groups receivables and inventories and its total assets in general. The two main activity ratios are,
· Receivable turnover ratio
· Payables turnover ratio
· Inventory turnover ratio
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER RATIO: -
Debtor turnover ratio indicates the velocity of debts collection of a firm. In simple words, it indicates the number of times average debts are turned over during a year. Higher the value of debts turnover, more efficient is the management of debts or more liquid the debtors are and vice versa. Receivable turnover ratio is calculated as
Receivable/debtors turnover ratio = Annual credit sale / Trade debtors
There have been no trade debts in the company after the year 1996, probably because of the low performance of the company or because of the strict debt policy of the company.
PAYABLE TURNOVER RATIO: -
This ratio is against to Debtors turnover ratio. It compares the creditors with the total credit purchase. It signifies the credit period enjoyed by the firm in paying off debts. In payable turnover ratio less the results better for the company. It is calculated as
Payable Turnover ratio = Annual Credit Purchase / Creditors
INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO: -
Inventory Turnover ratio, also known as Stock Turnover, is the relationship between Cost of Goods Sold during the period and average inventories. It measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. Usually higher inventory turnover, stock velocity, indicates efficient management because more frequently stocks are sold lesser the amount of money required to finance the inventory. It is calculated as
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Profitability ratios are of two types
· Those showing profitability in relation to sale and
· Those showing profitability in relation to investment.
To gather these ratios indicate the overall effectiveness of operation
PROFITABILITY IN RELATION TO SALES
It consists of the following ratios,
· Gross profit ratio
· Net profit ratio
GROSS PROFIT RATIO
Gross profit is the amount which a company has after the deduction of the operating expenses from the total revenue of the firm. It basically provides the coushin for the expenses other than the operating expenses. Gross profit ratio, which is also called Profitability in relation to sales, is the ratio of gross profit to new sales expressed as a percentage. This ratio tells us the profit of the firm relative to sales after we deduct the producing the goods. It is a measure of the efficiency of the firm operation. Higher the gross profit ratio better it is. It is calculated as
Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Net Sales
INTERPRETATION
As discussed earlier, the GP ratio provides the management with the funds to expend on the other business activities than the manufacturing expenses. The above calculations of the GP ratio indicate that the management of the Fecto sugar mills have to be very much reluctant in making the expenses because the margin for the expenses is very little i.e.
· 13.81% in 2000
· 9.998% in 1999
· 8.109% in 1998
· 4.94% in 1997
· 14.64% in 1996
The margin earned by the company is so much less that the shareholders might have no chance of receiving anything from the company because there are other admin and selling expenses which need to be paid off before anything comes to the shareholders lying at the bottom of the income statement.
NET PROFIT AFTER TAX TO SALE:
The net profit margin is a measure of the firm’s profitability of sales after taking account of all expenses and income tax. This ratio also indicates performance during the financial year. Simply high the ratio better the firm performance and efficiency. It is calculated as,
Net Profit Margin = Profit after tax / Sales
INTERPRETATION
The net profit ratios gives the picture of what the company is actually paying to its share holders after paying all the expenses incurred in the activities of the business. The above calculations are really very much depressive for the Fecto sugar mills. The firm has never been able to pay the shareholders some amount which can justify their investment in the company. The nominal profits earned in the years 1999 and 2000 went in setting off the accumulated profits carried forward by the company. This fact is also evident from the income statement of the company.
PROFITABILITY RATIOS IN RELATION TO INVESTMENT
In this head, we have two ratios,
· Return on equity
· Return on total assets
RETURN ON EQUITY: -
Return on equity is another measure of overall firm’s performance. It compares net profit after tax to the equity that share holders have invested in firm. This ratio tells the earning power on shareholder’s book value. Higher the return on equity ratio often reflects the firm’s acceptance of strong investment opportunities and effective expense management. It is calculated as
Return on Equity = Net profit After Tax / Shareholders Equity x100
INTERPRETATION
This ratio is also a very bad one for the company because the return on the equity is negative in the years 1997 and 1998. in the other years when the return is positive, it is so meager that the shareholders might have repented on investing in the company. The amount invested in the company might have earned much greater amount if it had been invested some where else. In the years where it is in positive figures, only the year 1999 is a good one when the company gave 70% return on the equity while in the year 2000, the return was only 3%.
TOTAL ASSET TURNOVER: -
Total Asset turn over shown the sale revenue per dollar of assets invested. This total asset turnover ratio tells us the relative efficiency with which firm utilizes its total assets to generate sale. It is calculated as
Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Total Assets x 100
INTERPRETATION
The assets have been earning at an average of 80% in the form of the profits. This ratio is also not a very great one as compared to the industry average.

Coclusions and recommendations
Conclusion:
Specific Recommendations For The Organization:
Ø There should be a safety department in the company to assure the safety of the workers.
Ø A regular training programme should be a permanent policy of the management so as to provide not only the required skill to employees but also to help them keeping their skills up to date.
Ø Balance should be at a distance of 5 kilo‑meters from the cutters
Ø There should be card system for every employee from helper to manager for punctuality.
Ø Wages of workers should not be less than Rs3000 per month.
Ø There should be family quarters for all married workers.
Ø There should be a high school and a college as well for boys and girls in the factory area.
Ø There should be transport facility for workers within the district.
Ø All the employees especially those associated with production should be encouraged, and should be involved in decision making and empowered to make innovative decisions. In this way employees can add to the organization, a lot. e.g. a new cost effective production technique can result in comparatively huge profits.
