HISTORY
The company was founded in Mumbai in 1938 by two Danish engineers, Henning Holck-
Larsen and SørenKristian Toubro. The company began as a representative of Danish
manufacturers of dairy equipment. However, with the start of the Second World War in 1939
and the resulting restriction on imports, the partners started a small workshop to undertake
jobs and provide service facilities. Germany's invasion of Denmark in 1940 stopped supplies
of Danish products. The war-time need to repair and refit ships offered L&T an opportunity,
and led to the formation of a new company, Hilda Ltd., to handle these operations. L&T also
started two repair and fabrication shops signalling the expansion of the company. The sudden
internment of German engineers in India (due to suspicions caused by the War), who were to
put up a soda ash plant for the Tatas, gave L&T a chance to enter the field of installation. In
1944, ECC was incorporated by the partners; the company at this time was focused on
construction projects (Presently, ECC is the construction division of L&T). L&T decided to
build a portfolio of foreign collaborations. By 1945, the company represented British
manufacturers of equipment used to manufacture products such as hydrogenated oils,
biscuits, soaps and glass. In 1945, the company signed an agreement with Caterpillar Tractor
Company, USA, for marketing earth moving equipment. At the end of the war, large numbers
of war-surplus Caterpillar equipment were available at attractive prices, but the finances
required were beyond the capacity of the partners. This prompted them to raise additional
equity capital, and on 7 February 1946, Larsen & Toubro Private Limited was born.
POST-INDEPENDENCE
Independence and the subsequent demand for technology and expertise offered L&T the
opportunity to consolidate and expand. Offices were set up in Kolkata (Calcutta), Chennai
(Madras) and New Delhi. In 1948, fifty-five acres of undeveloped marsh and jungle was
acquired in Powai, Mumbai. That uninhabitable swamp is presently its main manufacturing
hub.
In December 1950, L&T became a public company with a paid-up capital of 20 lakhs. The
sales turnover in that year was 1.09 crore. Notable orders executed by the Company during
this period included the Amul Dairy at Anand and Blast Furnaces at Rourkela Steel Plant.
9
With the successful completion of these jobs, L&T emerged as the largest erection contractor
in the country.
In 1956, a major part of the company's Mumbai office moved to ICI House in Ballard Estate,
Mumbai; which would later be purchased by the company and renamed as L&T House, its
present Corporate Office. The sixties were also a decade of rapid growth for the company,
and witnessed the formation of many new ventures: UTMAL (set up in 1960), Audco India
Limited (1961), Eutectic Welding Alloys (1962) and TENGL (1963).
In 1976, Holck-Larsen was awarded the Magsaysay Award for International Understanding
in recognition of his contribution to India's industrial development. He retired as Chairman in
1978.

Meaning & Importance of Comparative Statement
A comparative balance sheet will include several different types of
accounting data.A list of assets and liabilities is also included. All of these
factors are necessary to see what the total worth of the company is through
the balance sheet. The comparative balance sheet allows the company or
business to see at a glance how its profits differ from one year to another.
These comparative balance sheets are aligned so that business people can
see at a glance the financial differences from year to year.
Without a comparative balance sheet, businesses would not know how to
change their strategy from year to year. All they would have to go on would
their current balance statements. This would be detrimental to most
businesses. It is very important to be able to look at past profit information
to judge how to act for the future.
Procedure of Comparative Balance Sheet:
The Comparative balance sheet has two columns for the data of original
balance sheet.
Third column is used to show increases in figures.
The forth column is use to give percentages of increase or decrease.

RATIO ANALYSIS
MEANING AND IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use of
ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well
as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. The term
ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables.
IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS :
It helps in evaluating the firms performance
It helps in inter-firm comparison.
The short term creditors like bankers and suppliers of materials can determine the
firm’s ability to meet its current obligation with the help of liquidity ratio and quick
ratio.
The long term creditors like debenture holders and financial institutions can determine
the firm’s long term financial strength and survival with the help of leverage or capital
structure ratio as debt equity ratio.
Balance Sheet Ratios
1. CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSET / CURRENT LIABILITIES
2010 2011
26673.49 / 21632.13 35234.34 / 28372.99
=1.23 : 1 =1.24 : 1
2012
43857.44 / 33084.62
=1.33 : 1
28
Current ratio is average in all year. In 2012 there is no significant change in this ratio. This
ratio indicate that for every one rupee of current liabilities, the company has increase its
current asset every year. In other words it means that after paying current liabilities of rupee
one out of current asset of Rs. 1.23 in 2010, Rs.1.24 in 2011 and Rs.1.33 in 2012, the
company will have working capital of Rs.0.23, Rs. 0.24 and Rs.0.33.
2. QUICK RATIO = QUICK ASSET / QUICK LIABILITIES
2010 2011
24931.14 / 21632.13 33445.82 / 28372.9
= 1.15:1 =1.18:1
2012
41195.65 / 33084.62
=1.25:1
Here quick assets are more in than quick liabilities in every year. The companies’ quick ratio is increases. The inventory’s contribution is less than other asset so there is quick ratio is increases in every year. In 2010 the quick ratio is 1.15 it is increases in 2011 and 2012 i.e.1.18, 1.25. The quick ratio of 1.15:1, 1.18:1, & 1.25:1 means that for every one rupee of a quick liabilities, the companies has got Rs1.15, Rs1.18, Rs1.25 in the form of quick assets. This indicates that company can pay its all immediate liabilities out of its liquid assets.

3. PROPRIETORY RATIO = PROPRIETOR’S FUND / TOTAL ASSETS * 100
