INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW OF SUGAR INDUSTRY:
India is one of the largest consumer and second largest producer of sugar
in the world. With 516 sugar mills operating in India during SY 2008P in
different parts of the country, the Indian sugar industry has been a focal
point for socio-economic development in the rural areas.
The sugar industry, in India, is highly fragmented. There is a large
number of small sugar mills located in various parts of the countries. In
SY 2008, a total of 516 sugar factories crushed cane for an average of
152 days. Cooperative mills largely operate in Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka. In addition, there are a number of players
in the unorganised segment, producing gur and khandsari, which are less
refined forms and act as a substitute.

Sugarcane Acreage & Production:
The sugar industry in India uses only sugarcane as input, hence sugarcane
acreage and production is a key factor in determining sugar production
for the year. The area under sugarcane cultivation has gradually increased
over the years mainly due to the diversion of land by the farmers from
other crops to sugarcane for economic reasons.
Sugar mills have been largely established in large sugarcane growing
states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka,
Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. These six states together account for 80-90% of
the sugarcane produced in India.
Accordingly, the leading sugar producing states are Uttar Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka,
accounting for 85-95% of the total sugar produced in India.
In SY 2008P, these states accounted for about 90% of the total sugarcane
production in India, with Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh leading with
24% and 37% respectively of the total sugarcane production, and for
about 92% of total sugar production in India, again with Maharashtra and
Uttar Pradesh leading with 34% and 28% respectively of the total sugar
produced in India.

Sugar Cycle:
Process of Sugar Cycle
Sugar industry typically follows a cycle which spans over a period of five
to seven year. Higher sugarcane and higher sugar production results in a
fall in sugar prices, which in turn result in non-payment of dues to
farmers. This compels the farmers to switch to other crops thereby
causing a shortage of sugarcane, which in turn lead to an increase in
sugarcane prices and thereby increases profits. Since prices of sugarcane
have increased, farmers now switch back to sugarcane production, which
in turn leads to a fall in sugar prices.

INTRODUCTION TO FINANCE:
Finance is the lifeblood and central nerve system of any business
organization. This because of the modern money oriented economy. Just
as circulation of blood is necessary in the human body to maintain life,
finance is very essential to the business organization for smooth running
of the business. Finance is one of the basic foundations of all kinds of
economic activities. It is the master key, which provides access to all the
sources for being employed in manufacturing and merchandising
activities .The importance of Financial Management cannot be denied. In
every organization where funds are involved, sound Financial
Management is indispensable. Efficient management of any business
enterprise is closely linked with efficient management of its finance.
DEFINITION OF FINANCE:
Ray G.JONES and Dean Dudley observe that the word finance comes
from Latin word ‘Finis’ in simple word Finance is the economics and
accounting. Economics is proper utilization of scare resources and
accounting is keeping a record of thing.
Kenneth Midglay and Ronald Burns state “Finance is the process of
organizing the flow of funds so that a business firm carry out its
objectives in the most efficient manner and meet its obligations as they
fall due.”
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 4
SCOPE OF FINANCE:
Until the middle of the century, the scope of finance was simply that of
rising of funds from various sources and looking after the legal and
accounting relationship between the company and the suppliers of
various sources of funds.
However, several technological innovations and improvements, widening
marketing operation, strong corporate structure etc. took place in 1950’s
have since reduced the popularity of traditional approach finance.
The scope of finance function is as wide as the periphery of finance. It
concentrates primarily on more money management and different
auxiliaries, which are incidental to it. For effective money management,
the different resources of business enterprises must be mobilized.
The finance penetrates all the activities irrespective of whether they relate
to product, pricing, expansion and re-organization and in fact anything,
which needs finance.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 5
IMPORTANCE OF FINANCE:
The importance of finance is one of the important areas of the
management. It is the management of monetary affairs of the
organization. It considered as that administration area or set of

it is rightly said “Finance is the life blood of the Business Economy”
Finance is a very important tool for the organization for its smooth
working. Without of finance, neither a business can be started nor

current assets and liabilities etc. with each other and reflects the
soundness of concern.
Ratio Analysis is the technique of the computation of number of
accounting ratios from the data derived from the financial statements, and
comparing those with the ideal or standard ratios or the previous year’s
ratios or the ratios of other similar concerns. It is a technique of
comparative analysis in which current year ratios are compared with the
past or other organizations which are in similar line of operations so as to
ascertain the financial soundness of the concern.

USERS (interested parties):
1. SHAREHOLDERS
Some shareholders are interested in the performance of the
company. They want to judge the long term solvency position,
return capital employed and earnings per share of a company.
2. ANALYST ADVISOR :
They advise the present and potential investors about their buy or
sell and lending decisions by reviewing all financial characteristics
and make inter firm comparisons.
3. TAX AUTORITIES :
They are the financial rate to judge the reliability of financial
information presented by the assesses.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 9
IMPORTANCE OF RATIO ANALYSIS:
Ratio Analysis stands for the process of determining and presenting the
relationship of items and groups of items in the financial statements. It is
an important technique of financial analysis. It is an important technique
of financial analysis. It is a way by which financial stability and health of
a concern can be judged. The following are the main points of
importance of Ratio Analysis:

institutions in lending and making investments decisions.
2) Ratio Analysis is an instrument for diagnosing the financial
health or condition of a business. Financial analysts can
diagonise the financial condition of an enterprise through ratio
analysis. They evaluate the important aspects of the conduct of a
business like liquidity, solvency, capital gearing, profitability
etc.
3) Accounting ratios simplify, summaries and systematize the
accounting figures in order to make them more understandable
and in lucid form. They highlight the interrelationship which
exists between various segments of the business as expressed by
accounting statements.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 10

communications, controlled. Ratios are a useful instrument of
management control, particularly in the areas of sales and costs.
5) Ratios are very helpful in establishing standard costing system
and budgetary control.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 11
LIMITATIONS OF RATIO ANALYSIS:
1) Ratios are calculated from the data found in the financial
statements. The Financial statements suffer from a number of
limitations. That means the ratio, derived from the financial
statements are also subjected to those limitations.
2) Financial analysis is based on ratio analysis will give miss leading
results if the effects of change in price level are not taken into
account in the compilation of ratio analysis.

business. They cannot be taken as final as regards the financial
position of a business other things also have to see.
4) Ratios give just a fraction if information needed for judging the
financial soundness of a concern, such the information obtained
from the ratios must be used in conjunction with the information
obtained from others sources so as to judge the financial soundness
of a concern correctly.
5) A ratio is hyper sensitive. A new entry of a transaction can change
its magnitude drastically.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 12
STEPS INVOLVED IN RATIO ANALYSIS:
1. Selection of relevant data from the financial statements depending
upon the objective of the analysis.
2. Calculating of appropriate ratios from the above data.
3. Comparision of calculated ratios with the ratios of the same firm in
the past or the ratios developed from projected financial statements
the ratios of some other firms of the comparision with the ratios of
the industry to which the firm belongs.
4. The ratio analysis involves the comparison for useful interpretation
of the financial statements. A single ratio in itself does not indicate
favorable or unfavorable conditions. It should be compared with
some standards.

Strengths of Shree Renuka Sugars Ltd:
Extensive Integration :
Shree Renuka Sugars is extensively integrated, extracting the
maximum value out of sugarcane through the processing of cane,
molasses and bagasse to produce sugar, power and ethanol. In 2007-
08, revenues of the Company’s non-sugar business increased from
15% in 2006-07 to28% in 2007-08, and its proportion in the bottom-
line enhanced from 28% to77% during the period
Strong global presence :
The Company is the second largest exporter of sugar from India with
a presence in the Middle East, South East Asia and East Africa,
among others. This export revenue provides the Company with an
enhanced trade flow larger than its production, acting as a
consolidator and enabling it to capitalise on global price as well as
purchasing trends.
Preferred supplier status :
The Company is a sugar ‘supplier of choice’ across brand-enhancing
Multinational companies that produce carbonated soft drinks, fruit
juices, chocolates, baby foods and dairy products. Its clients include
reputed names like Coca Cola, Pepsi, ITC, Britannia, Nestle and
Cadbury, among others.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 22
Successful acquisitions :
The Company scaled capacity by acquiring co-operative mills and
leased production assets, reducing direct and opportunity costs. It
acquired a standalone ethanol plant of 100 KL expanded to 300 KL, to
cater to the ethanol requirements of oil marketing companies (OMC)
located in the coastal states of Goa, Maharashtra and Kerala for
exports. The Company also acquired a strategic 54% stake in KBK
Chem- Engineering Pvt. Ltd., engaged in providing turnkey solutions
(EPC contracts) in the field of distilleries, ethanol plants and biofuels.
Increasing capacities :
The Company has relentlessly enhanced its capacity. Since its IPO in
October2005, its sugar capacity grew seven-fold (5,000 TCD to
37,500 TCD), ethanol capacity 15-fold (60 KLPD to 450 KLPD to
900 KLPD by March 2009) and power capacity eight-fold (20 MW
to158 MW).
Moderating the impact of sugar cyclicality :
The Company is unique in consuming multiple feedstocks (sugarcane
and raw sugar). During the off-season, it consumes raw sugar for
conversion, enhancing its asset utilisation and sustaining cash flows.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 23
Super fixed asset utilization :
The Company enjoys one of the industry’s highest capacity utilisation
and asset turnover ratios on the back of a longer operating season,
higher sugar content availability in cane and dual raw material
capability. It produces 20 tons of sugar per TCD capacity, as against
the top four sugar companies by market capitalisation (excluding
SRSL) which produce 10 tons of sugar per TCD capacity.
Technical expertise:
The Company has tied up with Tate & Lyle Industries PLC of UK – a
GBP 4.07- billion organisation and one of Europe’s largest sugar
refiners (for the Company’s refinery business). The international
partner provides a robust technical expertise in refining.
Institutional focus :
The Company directly markets sugar to institutional buyers – a
paradigm shift from the tradition of selling to wholesale agents and
dealers. This has translated into a relatively large market share, an
effective hedge against price-driven risks. This has also rationalised
working capital outlay and has reduced the Company’s
dependence on sugar brokers.
Seshadripuram Institute of Commerce & Management Page 24
Locational advantages:
The Company enjoys a number of advantages on account of its South
Indian location. It enjoys a longer crushing season (over 200 days,
starting from October till May), higher recovery (10-20% higher than
that of other regions), matured market for cogeneration power as well
as port proximity (160-200 kms).
Excellent farmer relationships:
Farmer dues are cleared on time, encouraging them to grow more
sugarcane than switching to alternatives. Being shareholders, farmers
also enjoy a preferential sale and an attractive dividend income. The
Company enjoys the benefit of healthy relationships with more than
5,000 farmers as shareholders.
Seamless sugarcane collection network:
The Company possesses a dedicated department to supervise cane
development and procurement. It is engaged in organising the
harvesting programme for desired cane quantity and quality to be
harvested daily, with adequate transportation to the mills. Besides, it
acquires cane directly from the farmers without going through
intermediaries.
