INTRODUCTION:
1. First, given the level of sales and the relevant cost considerations, what are
the optimal amounts of cash, accounts receivable and inventories that a
firm should choose to maintain?
2. Second, given these optimal amounts, what is the most economical way to
finance these working capital investments? To produce the best possible
results, firms should keep no unproductive assets and should finance with
the cheapest available sources of funds. Why? In general, it is quite
advantageous for the firm to invest in short term assets and to finance
short-term liabilities.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
The objectives of this project were mainly to study the inventory, cash
and receivable at SINTECH PRECISION PRODUCT LTD., but there
are some more and they are -
The following sources have been sought for the preparation report:
Indian Economy
Pump Industry
Indian Economy
In the beginning of the year 2008 the economy was on a higher growth path
with the macro-economic fundamentals inspiring confidence and a general
optimism about the medium to long term prospects of the economy. The
economy was expected to slow down marginally from the three years of 9%
plus growth in real GDP reflecting a cyclical downturn in the global economy
and expectations were that the growth would be around 8.5%. High oil prices
and domestic inflation and worsening of international financial crisis which
had surfaced in 2007 have been definite areas of concern. But the global
situation deteriorated massively after mid-September 2008 following collapse
of series of investment banks in the US. This resulted in choking of credit and
global crash in stock markets. Crisis of this magnitude in industrialized
countries has impact around the world especially in the emerging market
countries like India. The Indian economy which started with a strong economic
performance lost the momentum once the ripple effects of the gloom in the
global economy set in. Sensex in January 2008 was all time high at 21206,
came down to around 9000 towards the end. The high cost of crude oil around
US$ 150 per barrel in August, 2008 added to the country‟s woes in terms of
higher import bill. Rupee weakened against dollar sliding down from Rs.39 in
the beginning of the year to Rs.48 towards the end.
Pumps Industry
The growth witnessed by the Pumps Industry was in line with the
performance of the Indian economy. The growth in these sectors
mainly came from Energy sector. This was the result of capacity
additions in Super Critical plants including Ultra Mega Plants. On
the other hand, increased forays from Chinese contractors into
Energy Sector continued to exert pressure on the demand. Demand
for Submersible pumps is weather dependent and varies with
geographical location. Growth in standard industrial pumps is
closely linked to the development in the industrial sector of the
economy. Trends in waste water sewage market are encouraging
due to increased Government spending. The earlier buoyant
demand for industrial valves tapered off in the latter part of the year
due to drop in activities in Steel and General Industry.
The industry, now holding euro 500 million worth of global market
share, "is expected to grow at a rate faster than the world pump
market growth, capturing a larger share of the market," states the
study released by the Confederation of Indian Industry
(CII). According to industry estimates, India produces around one
million pumps of various kinds. There are around 800 large,
medium and small units producing the pumps for sectors from
agriculture to nuclear power generation. "Indian pump
manufacturers are able to meet most of the domestic market
demand," said Sarita Nagpal, head of manufacturing services of CII,
which works closely with the Indian Pump Manufacturers
Association.
The world pump market is governed by the demand in United States, European
Union and Japan. With these countries burdened by recession, market
forecasts up to 2013 have been revised to a compounded average growth rate
of just 0.3% from 3-4%. The global market for centrifugal pumps in 2009 and
2010 is likely to contract, while that for positive displacement pumps will post
good gains. Consolidation of players in the pump industry through mergers
and acquisitions, may catch momentum in 2009 -10 in spite of the present
recessionary trends.
Although water and sewage, power, building services, industry, oil and gas are
major drivers of the global pump market, for KBL, water, power and irrigation
will continue to be chief market drivers.

SECTORAL OVERVIEW
Power
This business group caters to the needs of power industry - conventional and
renewable. Considering the chronic shortage of power, this sector is bound to
emerge as a major market driver for decades to come. The Power group is
proud
to have successfully completed the sump model test of cooling water system
for India's first ultra mega power project of 4000 MegaWatt (5 x 800 MW) at
Kirloskarvadi. Orders received include:
This business group addresses the needs of water supply, water treatment and
waste water treatment segments. Water, like power is a major market driver for
the pump industry and equipment peripheral to water industry. Water stressed
regions in the world are on the rise, thanks to uncurbed urbanization, growing
industrialization, increasing pollution levels and absence of sufficient teeth to
the
legislation to deal with water pollution across the world. India is no exception.
Such a scenario demands better and better water management, with latest
technologies, cheaper methods and sustainable operations.
This business group continues to serve municipal corporations, water and
sewerage boards of India. Delhi Jalboard's Vishwakarma project, Nagpur
municipal corporation's Gorewada and Mahadula projects and Maharashtra Jal
Pradhikaran's Malegaon project went on stream this year.

ASSETS
The management of working capital is important for several reasons:
For one thing, the current assets of a typical manufacturing firm account
for half of its total assets. For a distribution company, they account for
even more.
Working capital requires continuous day to day supervision. Working
capital has the effect on company's risk, return and share prices,
There is an inevitable relationship between sales growth and the level of
current assets. The target sales level can be achieved only if supported by
adequate working capital Inefficient working capital management may lead
to insolvency of the firm if it is not in a position to meet its liabilities and
commitments.
The need for current assets tends to shift over time. Some of these
changes reflect permanent changes in the firm as is the case when the
inventory and receivables increases as the firm grows and the sales
become higher and higher. Other changes are seasonal, as is the case
with increased inventory required for a particular festival season. Still
others are random reflecting the uncertainty associated with growth in
sales due to firm's specific or general economic factors.
Sintech has the following banks available for the fulfillment of its
working capital requirements in order to carry on its operations
smoothly:
Banks:
These include the following banks –
o Indian Bank
o Syndicate Bank
The upper portion of the diagram below shows in a simplified form the
chain of events in a manufacturing firm. Each of the boxes in the upper
part of the diagram can be seen as a tank through which funds flow.
These tanks, which are concerned with day-to-day activities, have
funds constantly flowing into and out of them.
CASH RAW
MATERIAL
SALES
FINISH
GOODS
The chain starts with the firm buying raw materials on credit.
In due course this stock will be used in production, work will be
carried out on the stock, and it will become part of the firm‟s work-in-
progress.
Work will continue on the WIP until it eventually emerges as the
finished product.
As production progresses, labor costs and overheads need have to
be met.
Of course at some stage trade creditors will need to be paid.
When the finished goods are sold on credit, debtors are increased.
They will eventually pay, so that cash will be injected into the firm.
Each of the areas- Stock (raw materials, WIP, and finished goods), trade
debtors, cash (positive or negative) and trade creditors – can be viewed
as tanks into and from which funds flow.
Working capital is clearly not the only aspect of a business that affects
the amount of cash.
Nature of Inventories
ABC System:
1. Have the right mental attitude to the control of credit and make
sure that it gets the priority it deserves.
2. Establish clear credit practices as a matter of company policy.
3. Make sure that these practices are clearly understood by staff,
suppliers and customers.
4. Be professional when accepting new accounts, and especially
largerones.
5. Check out each customer thoroughly before you offer credit. Use
credit agencies, bank references, industry sources etc.
6. Establish credit limits for each customer and stick to them.
7. Continuously review these limits when you suspect tough times
are coming or if operating in a volatile sector.
8. Keep very close to your larger customers.
9. Invoice promptly and clearly.
10. Consider charging penalties on overdue accounts.
11. Consider accepting credit /debit cards as a payment option.
12. Monitor your debtor balances and aging schedules, and don't let
any debts get too old.
Debtors due over 90 days (unless within agreed credit terms) should
generally demand immediate attention. Look for the warning signs of a
future bad debt. For example…..
1. Longer credit terms taken with approval, particularly for smaller
orders.
2. Use of post-dated checks by debtors who normally settle within
agreed terms.
3. Evidence of customers switching to additional suppliers for the
same goods.
4. New customers who are reluctant to give credit references.
5. Receiving part payments from debtors.
There is an old adage in business that "if you can buy well then you
can sell well". Management of your creditors and suppliers is just as
important as the management of your debtors. It is important to look
after your creditors- slow payment by you may create ill feeling and
can signal that your company is inefficient (or in trouble!).
Remember that a good supplier is someone who will work with you to
enhance the future viability and profitability of your company.
Financing Current Assets
The firm has to decide about the sources of funds, which can be
availed to make investment in current assets.
Long term financing:
It includes ordinary share capital, preference share capital, debentures,
long term borrowings from financial institutions and reserves and
surplus.
Short term financing:
It is for a period less than one year and includes working capital funds
from banks, public deposits, commercial paper etc.
Depending on the mix of short and long term financing, the company
can follow any of the following approaches.
Matching Approach
In this, the firm follows a financial plan, which matches the expected
life of assets with the expected life of source of funds raised to finance
assets. When the firm follows this approach, long term financing will
be used to finance fixed assets and permanent current assets and
short term financing to finance temporary or variable current assets.
Conservative Approach
In this, the firm finances its permanent assets and also a part of
temporary current assets with long term financing. In the periods when
the firm has no need for temporary current assets, the long-term funds
can be invested in tradable securities to conserve liquidity. In this the
firm has less risk of facing the problem of shortage of funds.
Aggressive Approach
In this, the firm uses more short term financing than warranted by the
matching plan. Under an aggressive plan, the firm finances a part of its
current assets with short term financing.

Data Interpretation
If we analysis the three years working capital position of the company, we find out that
company has sufficient working capital to meets its short term liability, it is good
indicator for the company but in 2011, working capital is increased by 101.24 lacs which
shows that a sufficient amount has been blocked in working capital which could be used
for some other more beneficial purpose.

INTERPRETATION:
By analyzing the 3 years data, We are looking increasing pattern in inventories. We can
see that inventories are increased from 180.26 lacs to 291 lacs in the year 2008 and in the
year 2009 it is increased from 291 lacs to 653 lacs. By seeing this pattern we can say that
the company is managing the inventory according to the sale. Company has a great
demand for the pump in the year 2010 that is biggest reason for increase in inventories.
From other point of view we can say that the liquidity of firm is blocked in inventories but
to stock is very good due to uncertainty of availability of raw material in time.

INTERPRETATION
In the table and figure we see that there is rise in the debtors in the year 2010 and
decrease in the year 2011. A simple logic is that debtors increase only when sales
increase and decrease if sales decrease. In the year 2008, sales is increased by 72.30%
and decreased by 19.24% in the year 2012.
We can say that it is a good sign as well as negative also. Company policy of debtors is
very good but a risk of bad debts is always present in high debtors. When sales is
increasing with a great speed the profit also increases. If company decreases the
Debtors they can use the money in many investment plans.

CASH AND BANK BALANCE ANALYSIS
Cash is called the most liquid asset an vital current assets, it is an important component
of working capital. In a narrow sense, cash includes notes, bank draft, cheque etc while
in a broader sense it includes near cash assets such as marketable securities and time
deposits with bank.

INTERPRETATION
If we analyze the above table and chart we find that it follows a uneven pattern. In the
year 2010 it had maintained a low amount of cash and bank balance. But in the year
2011, cash and the bank balances has increased from 10.81 lacs to 34.30 lacs which is
not a good sign for the company because it shows that company is not using its cash for
beneficial activities. Although, in the year 2012, cash has reduced from 34.30 lacs to
29.02 lacs but this is very good sign for company because they are not holding the cash
in hand but using the cash for better projects, but still it is not conducive. From the other
point of view, company will not face the problem of liquidity as company is maintaining
the cash balance.

LOANS AND ADVANCES ANALYSIS
Loans and Advances here refers to any to amount given to different parties, company,
employees for a specific period of time and in return they will be liable to make timely
repayment of that amount in addition to interest on that loan.

INTERPRETATION
If we analyze the table and the chart we can see that it follows an increasing trend which
is a good sign for the company. We can see that from the year 2010 to 2011 it increased
more than triple. We can see that the increase of 275% and 6.08% in 07-08 and 10-11
respectively from previous year.
The increasing pattern shows that company is giving advances for the expansion of
plants and machinery which is good sign for better production of pumps and other
goods. Although company‟s cash is blocked but this is good that company is doing
modernization of plants In time to compete with other competitors in market.

If we analyze the above table then we can see that it follow an uneven trend. The
important component of current liabilities is sundry creditors and other liabilities. In 07-
08 it decreased from 359.41 lacs to 256.33 lacs and in 11-12 it increased from 256.33 lacs
to 305.99 lacs. This is liability for company so this should be less. when company have
minimum liabilities it creates a better goodwill in market. High current liabilities indicate
that company is using credit facilities by creditors.

This is liability for company so this should be less. When company has minimum
liabilities it creates a better goodwill in market. High current liabilities indicate that
company is using credit facilities by creditors.

If we analyze the table and the chart we can see that it follows an increasing trend which
is not a good sign for the company. We can see that from the year 2010 to 2011 it
increased more than double. The increasing pattern shows that company is taking loan
for the expansion of plants and machinerecy which is not a good sign because company
depends on the external source. On the other hand, company has reduced the bank loan
in 2012 and increase in advances received from the customer; this is good sign for
company.

but also they are earning more. Other provisions are also for the benefit of employees

This ratio indicates whether the investments in current assets or net current assets ( i.e.,
working capital ) have been properly utilized. In order words it shows the relationship
between sales and working capital. Higher the ratio lower is the investment in working
capital and higher is the profitability. But too high ratio indicates over trading.
64
This ratio is an important indicator about the working capital position. Now if we analyze
the three years data, we find that it follows an increasing trend which means that its
investment in working capital is lower and the company is utilizing more of its profit. But
we find that ratio is increasing at a very fast rate which is not a good sign for the
company and the company is required to look into these matters closely.

which is taken as 1.33:1.
Now if we analyze the three years data it can be predicted that it holds a stable position
all through out period but it is seen that it holds a low position than the standard one and
the company is required to improve its position.

It is the ratio between quick liquid assets and quick liabilities. The normal value for such
ratio is taken to be 1:1. It is used as an assessment tool for testing the liquidity position
of the firm. It indicates the relationship between strictly liquid assets whose realizable
value is almost certain on one hand and strictly liquid liabilities on the other hand. Liquid
assets comprise all current assets minus stock.
By analyzing the three years data it can be said that its position was weak in the year
2010 but it improved significantly in the next year and again it is declined during the
2012. It is to be said that it does not meet with the standard but in the year 2011 it was
very close to the standard and it can be said that its liquidity position is not good &
stable.

Assuming a constant level of fixed assets, a higher CA/FA ratio indicates a conservative
current assets policy and a lower CA/FA ratio means an aggressive current assets policy
assuming other factors to be constant. A conservative policy i.e. higher CA/FA ratio
implies greater liquidity and lower risk; while an aggressive policy i.e. lower CA/FA ratio
indicates higher risk and poor liquidity.
Now if we analyze the three year data we find the CA TO FA Ration in increasing pattern,
so we can say that company is following the conservative policy to finance its short term
capital requirement.

INTERPRETATION
This ratio tells the story by which stock is converted into sales. A high stock turnover
ratio reveals the liquidity of the inventory i.e., how many times on an average, inventory
is turned over or sold during the year. If a firm maintains a minimum stock level in order
to maximize sales by quick rotation of inventory and the holding cost of inventory will be
minimum. A low stock turn over ratio reveals undesirable accumulation of obsolete
stock.
By analyzing the three year data it seen that it follows an uneven trend. We see that it is
reduced to 79 from the 104 days in 2011 and in 2012 it is increased by 148 days, Which is
not a good indicator for the company. Company should have to reduce the inventory
conversion period in order to reduce the cost.

Generally a low debtor‟s turnover ratio implies that it considered congenial for the
business as it implies better cash flow. The ratio indicates the time at which the debts
are collected on an average during the year. Needless to say that a high Debtors
Turnover Ratio implies a shorter collection period which indicates prompt payment made
by the customer.
Now if we analyze the three year data we can say that it holds a good position while
receiving its money from its debtors. The ratios are in a decreasing ternd, which implies
that recovery position is not good company and Company have to reduce the receivable
period.

Actually this ratio reveals the ability of the firm to avail the credit facility from the
suppliers throughout the year. Generally a low creditor‟s turnover ratio implies favorable
since the firm enjoys lengthy credit period
Now if we analyze the three years data we find that in the year 2011 the
ratio was very high which means that its position of creditors that year was not good, but
in the 2012 it is seen that it has followed a decreasing trend which is very good sign for
the company. So we can say it enjoys a very good credit facility from the from the
suppliers.

Interpretation
When a company has lower d/e ratio, it means that company is utilizing its own funds
and reserves rather than taking loans from outsiders. Company have a uneven trend in
d/e ratio. In the year 2010 it was 1.02 but in the year 2011 it is declined to .55 so we can
say that now company is using more its fund as compare to previous year, but still the
ratio is high. Company has to reduce the ratio.

MAJOR FINDINGS
Statement Showing Difference from Previous Year
(amt. in lacks)
72
1. Working Capital is increased by 19% only in 2011-12 as compare to 5000%
increase in 2010-11 and if we analysis the working capital with sales, the sales is
decreased by 19% in 2011-12, that‟s why working capital is increased by 19% only.
2. Current assets and Current liabilities are increased by 23% in 2011-12 as compare
to previous year but current assets are increased by 146% in 2010-11 as compare
to 117% increase in current liabilities, so we can say that working capital is
increased because of increase in current assets.
2. Cash and the bank balances are decreased by 15% which shows
company might face the liquidity problem.
73
CONCLUDING ANAYSIS
The working capital position of the company is sound and the various
sources through which it is funded are optimal.
The company has used its purchasing, financing and investment decisions to
good effect can be seen from the inferences made earlier in the project.
The debts doubtful have been doubled over the years but their percentage
on the debts has almost become half. This implies a sales and collection
policy that get along with the receivables management of the firm.
The various ratios calculated are an indicator as to the fact that the
profitability of the firm and sales are on a rise and also the deletion of the
inefficiencies in the working capital management.
The firm has not compromised on profitability despite the high liquidity is
commendable.
Sintech Precision Product Ltd. has reached a position where the default
costs are as low as negligible and where they can readily factor their
accounts receivables for availing finance is noteworthy.
74
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The business runs successfully with adequate amount of the working capital
but the company should see to it that the cash should not be tied up in
excessive amount of working capital.
Though the present collection system is near perfect, the company as due to
the increasing sales should adopt more effective measures so as to counter the
threat of bad debts.
The over purchasing function should be avoided as it could lead to liquidity
problems.
The investment of cash in marketable securities should be increased, as it is
very profitable for the company.
Holding of excessive and insufficient stock must be avoided as it creates a
burden on the cash resources of a business and results in lost sales, delays for
customers, etc respectively.
