PREFACE

The conceptual knowledge acquired by management student is best manifested in the project and

training they undergo. As a part of curriculum of MBA, We have got a chance to undergo

practical training on “NATIONAL THERMAL POWER CORPORTION”. The present

project gives a perfect vent into our understanding of financial management.

The project report entitled “FINACIAL RATIO ANALYSIS” is based on the financial

statements viz the Balance sheet of the company.

The report will provide all information regarding the FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS and their

importance in NATIONAL THERMAL POWER CORPORTION LTD.

POWER SECTOR IN INDIA

The electricity sector in India is predominantly controlled by the Government of India's public

sector undertakings (PSUs). Major PSUs involved in the generation of electricity include

National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), National Hydroelectric Power

Corporation (NHPC) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCI). Besides PSUs, several

state-level corporations, such as Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB), are also involved

in the generation and intra-state distribution of electricity. The Power Grid Corporation of

India is responsible for the inter-state transmission of electricity and the development of national

grid.

The Ministry of Power is the apex body responsible for the development of electrical energy in

India. This ministry started functioning independently from 2 July 1992; earlier, it was known as

The Ministry of Energy. The Union Minister of Power at present is Sushil kumar Shinde of the

Congress Party, who took charge of the ministry on the 28th of May, 2009.

India is world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting for 3.4% of global energy consumption.

Due to India's economic rise, the demand for energy has grown at an average of 3.6% per annum

over the past 30 years. In March 2009, the installed power generation capacity of India stood at

147,000 MW while the per capita power consumption stood at 612 kWH. The country's annual

power production increased from about 190 billion kWH in 1986 to more than 680 billion kWH

in 2006. The Indian government has set an ambitious target to add approximately 78,000 MW of

installed generation capacity by 2012. The total demand for electricity in India is expected to

cross 950,000 MW by 2030.

About 75% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal power plants, 21%

by hydroelectric power plants and 4% by nuclear power plants. More than 50% of India's

commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. The country has also

invested heavily in recent years on renewable sources of energy such as wind energy. As of

2008, India's installed wind power generation capacity stood at 9,655 MW. Additionally, India

has committed massive amount of funds for the construction of various nuclear reactors which

would generate at least 30,000 MW. In July 2009, India unveiled a $19 billion plan to produce

20,000 MW of solar power by 2020.

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2011

Electricity losses in India during transmission and distribution are extremely high and vary

between 30 to 45%. In 2004-05, electricity demand outstripped supply by 7-11%. Due to

shortage of electricity, power cuts are common throughout India and this has adversely effected

the country's economic growth. Theft of electricity, common in most parts of urban India,

amounts to 1.5% of India's GDP. Despite an ambitious rural electrification program, some 400

million Indians lose electricity access during blackouts. While 80 percent of Indian villages have

at least an electricity line, just 44 percent of rural households have access to electricity.

According to a sample of 97,882 households in 2002, electricity was the main source of lighting

for 53% of rural households compared to 36% in 1993. Multi Commodity Exchange has sought

permission to offer electricity future markets.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS

RATIO ANALYSIS

Meaning and Definition 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.

Ratio analysis is a very powerful analytical tool for measuring performance of an

organization. The ratio analysis concentrates on the inter – relationship among the figures

appearing in the aforementioned four financial statement s. the ratio analysis helps the

management to analyze the past performance of the firm . The ratio analysis allow

interested parties like shareholders, investors, creditors , government and analysts to make an

evaluation of certain aspects of a firm’s performance.

Significance or Importance of Ratio Analysis

It helps in evaluating the firm’s performance. With the help of ratio analysis conclusion

can be drawn regarding several aspects such as financial health, profitability and

operational efficiency of the undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the

firm i.e. whether the management has utilized the firm's assets correctly, to increase the

investor's wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of

firm’s assets.

It helps in inter-firm comparison. Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by

providing necessary data. An inter firm comparison indicates relative position. It provides

the relevant data for the comparison of the performance of different departments. If

comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if

results are negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in line.

Page 5

Page 6: NTPC

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2011

It simplifies financial statement. Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis,

relevant from the View point of management is that it throws light on the degree

efficiency in the various activity ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.

Limitations

Ratios are calculated from the financial statements which are affected by the financial

bases and policies on such matters as depreciation and the valuation of stock

.

Financial statements do not represent a complete picture of the business, but merely a

collection of fact which can be expressed in monetary terms. These may not refer to both

factors which affect performance.

Over use of ratios as controls on managers could be dangerous, in that management

might concentrate more on simply improving the ratio than on dealing with the

significant issues.

A ratio is a comparison of two figures, a numerator and a denominator. In comparing

ratios it may be difficult to determine whether differences are due to changes in the

numerator, or in the denominator or in both.

Ratios are inter-connected. They should not be treated in isolation. The effective use of

ratios, therefore, depends on being aware of all these limitations and ensuring that,

following comparative analysis, they are used to trigger point for investigation and

corrective action rather than being treated as meaningful in them selves.

The analysis of ratios clarifies trends and weaknesses in performance as a guide to action

as long as proper comparisons are made and the reasons for adverse trends or deviations

from the norms are investigated thoroughly.

Classification of Ratios

Different ratios are used for different purposes; these ratios can be grouped into various classes

according to the financial activity. Ratios are classified into four broad categories:

Liquidity Ratio

Solvency Ratio

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2011

Profitability Ratio

Efficiency Ratio

Integrated Ratio

(I) Liquidity Ratio:

Liquidity ratio measures the firms ability to meet its current obligations i.e.

ability to pay its obligations and when they become due. Commonly used ratios are:

(1) Current Ratio

(2) Acid Test Ratio or Quick Ratio

(3) Inventory Turnover Ratio(Finished goods)

(4) Debtors Turnover Ratio

(5) Creditors Turnover Ratio

(6) Cash Flow From Opertions Ratio

(1) Current Ratio:

Current ratio is the ratio, which express relationship between current asset and current

liabilities. Current asset are those which can be converted into cash within a short period of time,

normally not exceeding one year. The current liabilities which are short- term and are maturing

to be met. It is calculated by following formula:

Current Ratio = Current Asset ÷Current liabilities

For the Year 2010-11= 35,396.79 13,675.86

=2.59 : 1

For the Year 2009-10 =30,815.70 10,967.30

=2.81 : 1

For the Year 2008-09 = 30,925.30 10,688.70

Interpretation:

(2) Acid Test Ratio or Quick Ratio:

The acid test ratio is a measure of liquidity designed to overcome the defect of current

ratio. It is often referred to as quick ratio because it is a measurement of firm's ability to convert

its current assets quickly into cash in order to meet its current liabilities. It is calculated by

following formula:

Profitability Ratios

Profitability ratio are the best indicators of overall efficiency of the business concern, because

they compare return of value over and above the value put into business with sales or service

carried on by the firm with the help of assets employed. Profitability ratio can be determined on

the basis of:

1. Sales

2. Investment

1) Gross profit margin:

The gross profit to sales ratio establishes relationship between gross profit and sales to

measure the relative operating efficiency of the firm to reflect pricing policy.

Gross Profit to Sales Ratio = (Sales - Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Sale * 100

SUMMARY

Financial Statement Analysis is a method used by interested parties such as investors, creditors,

and management to evaluate the past, current, and projected conditions and performance of the

firm. This report mainly deals with the insight information of the two mentioned companies. In

the current picture where financial volatility is endemic and financial intuitions are becoming

popular, when it comes to investing, the sound analysis of financial statements is one of the most

important elements in the fundamental analysis process. At the same time, the massive amount of

numbers in a company's financial statements can be bewildering and intimidating to many

investors. However, through financial ratio analysis, I tried to work with these numbers in an

organized fashion and presented them in a summarizing form easily understandable to both the

management and interested investors.

It is required by law that all private and public limited companies must prepare the financial

statements like, income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement of the particular

accounting period. The management and financial analyst of the company analyze the financial

statements for making any further financial and administrative decisions for the betterment of the

Page 71

Page 72: NTPC

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2011

company. Therefore, I select this topic, so that I have done some solid financial analysis that will

certainly help the management of review their performance and also assist the interested people

like investors and creditors. As a financial analyst it is important that a financial decision be

made by analyzing the financial statements of the company. It is the primary responsibility of the

financial managers or financial analyst to manage the financial matters of the company, by

evaluating the financial statements. I am also providing some important suggestions and opinions

about the financial matters of the business.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Conclusion and Findings

I analyzed the financial statement of National Thermal Power Corporation  The analysis is as

follows:

The liquidity position of the company is not up to the standard, is below the industrial average

in 2007, but it has improved a little in 2008 and is near the industrial average.

There is a considerable rise in the working capital of the company from 2007 to 2008 which

shows good liquidity position of the company.

Leverage ratio indicates the high risk associated with the company. Leverage ratio helps in

helps in assessing the risk arising from the use of debt capital. As we can see that in both the

years debt to equity ratio is slightly below the industrial average.

Profitability ratio is good as the earnings have increased for its share holders from 26% to

almost 30%. The profitability ratio is high because of the low financial charge.

Activity ratio of the company is not that efficient, as we can see that the debtor turnover ratio

has increased but is not as much as company would have expected. The average collection

period is also late.

Company did not pay any dividend in 2007. EPS has also jumped from a mere Rs37 to almost

Rs 100.

Book value per share is the indication of the net worth of the corporation. It is somehow

similar to the earning per share, but it relates to stockholder’s equity to the number of shares

outstanding, so we can say net worth of the company is good.

Page 73: NTPC

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2011

The operating cash flow of the company is also good.

RECOMMENDATIONS

As I have realized that the National Thermal Power Corporation  is doing well since its

inception. It is quite difficult to give any suggestion to such a corporation but still no one is

perfect,

There is always a room for improvement so I will recommend the following suggestions for

NTPC LTD:

Employee training must be introduced on continuous basis so that the employees have the

understanding of the latest development especially with its customers.

As observed the company has an Internal Audit system wherein external Chartered

Accountant Firms appointed to carry out periodic audits of the different units of the

Corporation. In my opinion, the scope and coverage of internal Audit needs to be

enhanced in order to make it proportionate with the size of the business.

As seen from the physical verification there is a great deal of mismanagement of

resources and it must be avoided, as it decreases the profit.

Company should hire fresh graduates. As the combination of experienced and fresh talent

can produce better results and will improve the efficiency of the management.

As the company is not a listed company. The company has implemented DPE guidelines.

The company has to make continuous efforts to maintain transparency, disclosures and

fairness in dealing with stakeholders.

Aggressive publicity campaign must be introduced by the company about there new

project, as there is little awareness about there new projects.

The vigilance department of the corporation has to improve the level of transparency for

implementing the proper system of E- tendering.
