working capital, procedure of analysis of working capital, ratio being used to define the working
capital and the impact of working capital in the company in case of excess or inadequacy. Also,
the project contains analysis of estimation of working capital requirement and the procedure to
estimate working capital requirement in manufacturing and trading concern. And from the data
available it can be concluded that it holds a very strong position in the market.

The overall performance of Narmada Gelatine Limited is getting on a good track. The total
turnover of the company has registered a growth of 7.15% where as the operating profits for the
year were higher by 82.5% mainly on the accounts of increase in the volume or sales, higher
realization and effective cost control measures taken by the company.

7
With the increase in capacity on account of expansion projects being undertaken by the company,
it is expected that the company would be in a position to maintain the growth in future years.

Research Methodology

Research Process:

Sources of Data:

The research seeks to examine the behavior in management of Working Capital in Narmada
Gelatines Limited. Therefore, for this purpose only publicly available Information has been taken
into account.

 Primary Data:

Survey, observation, experiment data collected to solve the particular problem under
investigation, so for the purpose of this study the statistical & financial figures for NGL are
collected from the companies Annual Report and analyzed.

 Secondary Data:

This data consists of Information that has been previously gathered. Therefore, data is collected
from published academics, journals, company report, newspaper relevant to the topic has been
considered to carryout research while selecting secondary data due care has been taken for its
reliability, relevancy & consistency in nature.

Data Analysis:

Analysis of Working Capital and measuring the efficiency in the management of Working
Capital:

8
The Working Capital magnitude of a concern should neither be too inadequate nor too excessive
as compared to its requirement. Maintaining adequate level of Working Capital ensures the
improvement in profitability. Thus, financial manager all the time strives to strike a balance
between Working Capital requirements and Working Capital magnitude. This is being done by
analyzing and examining the changes in individual components of Working Capital, i.e., items of
current assets and items of current liabilities. When we make a deep examination of various
components of Working Capital with an objective to ensure its adequacy or otherwise, it is
known as “ Analysis of Working Capital”. For such an Analysis, the following techniques are
used:

a) Schedule of changes in Working Capital

b) Fund statement

c) Ratio analysis

Limitations of the Study:

 The present study is limited to one Company, i.e. Narmada Gelatines Limited, and covers
a period from 2006 and 2008 due to limitation of time and accessibility to database.

 The authenticity of the suggestions and recommendations depend upon the rationality of
the data provided to me.

 Have to rely upon the data supplied.

 Executives are not ready to part with the information beyond a limit.

 Study includes Information collected from companies Annual Report which do not gives
due consideration to academics, articles, press releases etc.

 Only the first hand Information has been considered the revised has been ignored.

9
 Data collected or received from company is not enough to outline major fluctuations &
events taken place in Business.
CRITICAL REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

WORKING CAPITAL - OVERALL VIEW

Working Capital management is the management of assets that are current in nature. Current
assets, by accounting definition are the assets normally converted in to cash in a period of one
year. Hence working capital management can be considered as the management of cash, market
securities receivable, inventories and current liabilities. In fact, the management of current assets
is similar to that of fixed assets the sense that is both in cases the firm analyses their effect on its
profitability and risk factors, hence they differ on three major aspects:
1. In managing fixed assets, time is an important factor discounting and compounding
aspects of time play an important role in capital budgeting and a minor part in the
management of current assets.
2. The large holdings of current assets, especially cash, may strengthen the firm’s liquidity
position, but is bound to reduce profitability of the firm as ideal car yield nothing.
3. The level of fixed assets as well as current assets depends upon the expected sales, but it
is only current assets that add fluctuation in the short run to a business.
To understand working capital better we should have basic knowledge about the various aspects
of working capital. To start with, there are two concepts of working capital:
 Gross Working Capital
 Net working Capital

Gross Working Capital: Gross working capital, which is also simply known as working capital,
refers to the firm’s investment in current assets: Another aspect of gross working capital points
out the need of arranging funds to finance the current assets. The gross working capital concept
focuses attention on two aspects of current assets management, firstly optimum investment in
current assets and secondly in financing the current assets. These two aspects will help in
remaining away from the two danger points of excessive or inadequate investment in current
assets. Whenever a need of working capital funds arises due to increase in level of business
activity or for any other reason the arrangement should be made quickly, and similarly if some

10
surpluses are available, they should not be allowed to lie ideal but should be put to some effective
use.

Net Working Capital: The term net working capital refers to the difference between the current
assets and current liabilities. Net working capital can be positive as well as negative. Positive
working capital refers to the situation where current assets exceed current liabilities and negative
working capital refers to the situation where current liabilities exceed current assets. The net
working capital helps in comparing the liquidity of the same firm over time. For purposes of the
working capital management, therefore Working Capital can be said to measure the liquidity of
the firm. In other words, the goal of working capital management is to manage the current assets
and liabilities in such a way that a acceptable level of net working capital is maintained.

Operating Cycle Connectivity:


The concept of Working Capital is very much associated with the operating cycle. The time
between the purchase of inventory items (raw material or merchandise) and their conversion into
cash is known as operating cycle.
A perusal of the operating cycle would reveal that the funds invested in operations are recycled
back into cash. Of course, the cycles take some time to complete. The shorter the period of
operating cycle, the larger will be the turnover of the funds invested in various purposes.

Factors requiring consideration while estimating working capital.

• The average credit period expected to be allowed by suppliers.


• Total costs incurred on material, wages.
• The length of time for which raw material are to remain in stores before they are issued
for production.
• The length of the production cycle (or) works in process.
• The length of sales cycle during which finished goods are to be kept waiting for sales.
• The average period of credit allowed to customers
• The amount of cash required to make advance payment.

Determinants of Working Capital:


There is no specific method to determine working capital requirement for a business. There are a
number of factors affecting the working capital requirement. These factors have different
importance in different businesses and at different times. So a thorough analysis of all these
factors should be made before trying to estimate the amount of working capital needed. Some of
the different factors are mentioned here below: -

1. Nature of business: Nature of business is an important factor in determining the working


capital requirements. There are some businesses, which require a very nominal amount to
be invested in fixed assets, but a large chunk of the total investment is in the form of
working capital. There businesses, for example, are of the trading and financing type.
There are businesses, which require large investment in fixed assets and normal
investment in the form of working capital.
2. Size of business: It is another important factor in determining the working capital
requirements of a business. Size is usually measured in terms of scale of operating cycle.
The amount of working capital needed is directly proportional to the scale of operating

14
cycle i.e. the larger the scale of operating cycle the large will be the amount working
capital and vice versa.
3. Business Fluctuations: Most business experience cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in
demand for their goods and services. These fluctuations affect the business with respect to
working capital because during the time of boom, due to an increase in business activity
the amount of working capital requirement increases and the reverse is true in the case of
recession. Financial arrangements for seasonal working capital requirements are to be
made in advance.
4. Production Policy: As stated above, every business has to cope with different types of
fluctuations. Hence it is but obvious that production policy has to be planned well in
advance with respect to fluctuation. No two companies can have similar production policy
in all respects because it depends upon the circumstances of an individual company.
5. Firm’s Credit Policy: The credit policy of a firm affects working capital by influencing
the level of book debts. The credit term is fairly constant in an industry but individuals
also have their role in framing their credit policy. A liberal credit policy will lead to more
amount being committed to working capital requirements whereas a stern credit policy
may decrease the amount of working capital requirement appreciably but the
repercussions of the two are not simple. Hence a firm should always frame a rational
credit policy based on the credit worthiness of the customer.
6. Availability of Credit: The terms on which a company is able to avail credit from its
suppliers of goods and devices credit/also affects the working capital requirement. If a
company in a position to get credit on liberal terms and in a short span of time then it will
be in a position to work with less amount of working capital. Hence the amount of
working capital needed will depend upon the terms a firm is granted credit by its
creditors.
7. Growth and Expansion activities: The working capital needs of a firm increases as it
grows in term of sale or fixed assets. There is no precise way to determine the relation
between the amount of sales and working capital requirement but one thing is sure that an
increase in sales never precedes the increase in working capital but it is always the other
way round. So in case of growth or expansion the aspect of working capital needs to be
planned in advance.
8. Price Level Changes: Generally increase in price level makes the commodities dearer.
Hence with increase in price level the working capital requirements also increases. The

15
companies, which are in a position to alter the price of these commodities in accordance
with the price level changes, will face fewer problems as compared to others. The changes
in price level may not affect all the firms in same way. The reactions of all firms with
regards to price level changes will be different from one other.

Importance of Working Capital Ratios

Financial executives to check upon the efficiency with which working capital is being used in the
enterprise can use ratio analysis. The following are the important ratios to measure the efficiency
of working capital. The following, easily calculated, ratios are important measures of working
capital utilization.

Formulae Result Interpretation

Stock TurnoverAverage Stock * 365/= x days On average, you turn over the value of your entire stock every x
(in days) Cost of Goods Sold days. You may need to break this down into product groups for
effective stock management.
Obsolete stock, slow moving lines will extend overall stock
turnover days. Faster production, fewer product lines, just in
time ordering will reduce average days.
Receivables Debtors * 365/= x days It takes you on average x days to collect monies due to you. If
Ratio Sales your official credit terms are 45 day and it takes you65days.
(in days) One or more large or slow debts can drag out the average days.
Effective debtor management will minimize the days.
Payables RatioCreditors * 365/= x days On average, you pay your suppliers every x days. If you
(in days) Cost of Sales (or negotiate better credit terms this will increase. If you pay
Purchases) earlier, say, to get a discount this will decline. If you simply
defer paying your suppliers (without agreement) this will also

16
increase - but your reputation, the quality of service and any
flexibility provided by your suppliers may suffer.

Current Ratio Total Current Assets/= x times Current Assets are assets that you can readily turn in to cash or
Total Current will do so within 12 months in the course of business. Current
Liabilities Liabilities are amount you are due to pay within the coming 12
months. For example, 1.5 times means that you should be able
to lay your hands on $1.50 for every $1.00 you owe. Less than 1
times e.g. 0.75 means that you could have liquidity problems
and be under pressure to generate sufficient cash to meet
oncoming demands.
Quick Ratio (Total Current Assets= x times Similar to the Current Ratio but takes account of the fact that it
- Inventory)/ may take time to convert inventory into cash.

Gelatine is one of the most versatile biological products with a wide range of physical and
chemical properties. It is a natural animal protein composed of various essential amino acids
required for human nutrition.

Gelatine is derived from the selective hydrolysis and extraction of protein collagen found mainly
in the connective tissues of animals.

Collagen is the principal organic component of animal bones. In India bovine bones, are the
conventional raw materials used in gelatine manufacture. The formation of water-soluble gelatine

24
may be regarded as hydration and hydrolysis of collagen. Gelatine molecules represent various
sized units, each a fragment of the collagenous chain.

Gelatine is not a single chemical entity. It is a mixture of fractions different principally in


molecular sizes. These fractions are composed entirely of amino acid radicals joined together by
peptide linkages.

Gelatine contains the essential elements of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. It contains all
the amino acids, which are essential for mammalian nutrition with the exception of tryptophane.
It has a direct contribution to a wide range of products in the pharmaceutical, edible,
photographic and other technical industries.

The Superiority and Advantages of Gelatine:

Gelatine is the only natural gelling protein of commercial importance. It also has the following
two unique properties.

• It is capable of producing clear thermo-reversible gels when combined with water.


• In its gel form it melts at body temperature.

Due to these unique features there is often no satisfactory alternative or substitue for gelatine.
The end product would not be available to the consumer without its gelatine content.

25
These and gelatine's other significant intrinsic properties allow it to be used in a variety of ways -
not only as a product for human consumption, in various edible and food products but also in the
demanding field of pharmaceuticals.

Without gelatine, the pharmaceutical and vitamin industries would be unable to produce the
modern day capsules, which allow for the measured dosage and controlled release of medicines,
drugs and vitamins.

Among gelatine's many attributes are its several key advantages over other hydrocolloids.

• It is a natural protein whose constituent amino acids are identical to those that occur
naturally in the human body and allergen free. As such, it is generally accepted as a food
in its own right.
• It is extracted from non-genetically modified materials.
• Alternative hydrocolloids only replace one attribute of gelatine. In some cases, such
replacements have been highly chemically transformed from their original material and
are not classed as foods. Their use is then regulated.
• Gelatine is not considered an additive, and can be used freely without limitation or
qualification. Thus an 'E' number, as required by many countries on food labeling, is not
necessary for gelatine.
• Gelatine combines all the following characteristics in a single product;
o Exemplary water binding characteristics
o Excellent foaming stability
o Thickening (Viscosity modification)
o Gelation
o Emulsifying properties
o Binding properties
o Elasticity
o Film forming properties

Such characteristics enable gelatine to be used in a wide range of applications and products found
both in industry and in the home.

Gelatine continues to find new and unique uses.

26
It has been indispensable in photographic film and paper.

In this age of global electronic communications it is vital for printing papers and digital
photographs.

Is it any wonder that gelatine - whether used in the food, pharmaceutical and photographic
industries-has been described as the technologist's Swiss Army Knife'?

With gelatine's multiple advantages and superiority over other hydrocolloids, when technologists
consider their options, the clear choice is gelatine - the natural choice.

GELATINE AN UNIQUE HYDROCOLLOID:


Gelatine is a highly versatile natural ingredient that is used by the food, pharmaceutical and
photographic industries for a variety of purposes.

Gelatine is manufactured in facilities, which maintain the highest standards for health and safety.
The raw material used for production of gelatine is the naturally occurring protein collagen,
which is commercially sourced from the meat industry from healthy animals designated for
human consumption. Each stage of the manufacturing process is rigorously controlled in modern
laboratories to ensure purity and quality. The process of converting collagen into gelatine
involves several cleansing and purification steps. The end result is an off white dry powder of the
utmostpurity.

Gelatine is a multifunctional ingredient with unique properties: it melts at body temperature and
it forms thermo reversible gels. There is no satisfactory alternative or substitute for gelatine
because of these two unique properties. These unique properties and other significant intrinsic
properties provide a highly versatile substance, which can be used for:

Gelatine gives a unique mouth feel in food application, already appreciated since ancient time.
Gelatine is a foodstuff not a food additive. Therefore, gelatine can be used freely without
limitation or qualification and does not require and E’ number. Moreover, gelatine is a natural
protein composed of the same amino acids as those found in the human body and contains 18
amino acids of which 9 out of 10 (of which 2 are only essential to children) are essential in the
human diet. It is also known that gelatine hydrolysate derived from gelatine has a preventive and
regenerative effect on the skeleton and locomotors system – especially bones, cartilage, tendons
andligaments.

A range of hydrocolloids or blends of - have been marketed to replace gelatine in both food and
pharmaceutical applications. These alternative hydrocolloids have not successfully provided the
combination of functionalities found in gelatine.

Some of the typical problems encountered are:

Final texture and mouth feel is different


Shelf life is inferior (faster drying out)
Shelf life is inferior (faster drying out)
The direct cost of the finished product often increases.

Gelatine’s diversified uses and multiple advantages and superiority over other hydrocolloids in
the food, pharmaceutical and photographic industries have earned it the descriptive terminology

28
of the technologists’ Swiss army knife. Gelatine is indeed the clear and natural choice for the full
range of gelling, stabilizing and thickening applications utilized by these industries.

PHARMACEUTICAL

The Gelatine Range - A Medical Aid

Gelatine is virtually indispensable in the Medical and


Pharmaceutical field and is specifically processed for extensive use
in hard capsules, soft capsules, microcapsules, tablets and other
coating applications.

A unique process has also been developed to provide gelatine


suitable for use in the manufacture of intravenous plasma
extenders. Its application as blood substitute infusions during
extreme life risk situations is invaluable. The gelatine used in these
are made so that its decomposition after administration takes place
completely without leaving any residue and without imposing
strain on any particular human organ.

EDIBLE

29
Gelatine is very extensively used in the edible preparations the
world over. It offers the following unique and unrivalled set of
excellent characteristics.

Gelatine is a very easily digestible protein.

Gelatine is a pure and natural food protein containing most of the


amino acids essential for human nutrition.

Gelatine is added to other foods to increase the protein content.

Gelatine being a food product in its own right is absolutely safe


for human consumption.

Gelatine serves to support dietary preparations.

INDUSTRIAL

The manufacture of several coated and bonded abrasives including


industrial grinding wheels use gelatines specially made suitable for
high bonding of silicon carbide and aluminium oxide grains.

Other extensive applications include use in the manufacture of


extra hard printer rollers, cork compositions and water dispersible
pesticides. We also manufacture protein colloids for defence usage
for making ball powder.

PHOTOGRAPHIC

Without gelatine, photography would not be what it is today, a


hobby for millions. Gelatine is more than just a bonding agent for
the light-sensitive silver salts and together with these, it forms the
photographically active emulsion. This is probably the most
important factor in the use of gelatine for photography. At
Narmada Gelatines Ltd. We ensure that the manufacturer gets the
best clarity & sharpness of image on his films and X-ray rolls.

In the dark room the gelatine allows chemical substances that are
necessary for photographic developing to penetrate sufficiently into

30
the emulsion, and in a similar way it allows these solutions to be
washed away after developing.

EXTRACTION

Gelatine is extracted after acidulation, Maturation & Washing. It is extracted in stages. The initial
extracts are obtained at low temperatures and have the highest gel strengths. Subsequent extracts
are made in stages of higher temperatures. The process technology perfected by the company
ensures complete and total extraction of the gelatine.

PURIFICATION

The Gelatine solution obtained from the extraction process is subjected to intense filtration and
ion exchange. This ensures effective removal of physical and chemical impurities.

EVAPORATION

With effective usage of energy, water is removed from the purified


solution and the Gelatine is gently concentrated to a honey like consistency. This highly viscous

31
solution is once again passed through polishing filters capable of removing even the finest
suspended particle and is simultaneously sterilized.

DRYING

The concentrated gelatine solution is solidified and a continuous flow of jelly noodles are
produced. These noodles are evenly spread on a continuous band drier. The drying operation is
systematically controlled with filtered, washed, pre-dried and sterilized air. The dry gelatine is
mechanically reduced into uniformly granular sizes.

GRINDING - SHIFTING & MIXING

Depending upon the end use requirement and specification the dry gelatines are transformed into
consistent despatchable material. Various high-speed mills and large capacity blenders are used
depending on specific requirements at this stage.

32

Working Capital analysis with the help of ratios may be undertaken with an objective to examine
the following:

i. Efficiency in the use of Working Capital


ii. Liquidity of Working Capital elements
iii. Structural health of Working Capital.

i. Efficiency in the use of Working Capital:


The efficiency with which Working Capital is being used by the management may be
analysed in terms of overall Working Capital & also in terms of its constituent parts.

INTERPRETATION:

In the case of comparison over a period of time, an increasing ratio is the indicator of more
intensive use of Working Capital over a period of time. A decreasing ratio on the other hand is
indicative of relative inefficiency in the use of Working Capital.

In the above figure we can see that during the year 2007, the ratio has been decreased as
compared to year 2006 which indicates inefficiency in the use of Working Capital but as we
move to the year 2008, it shows an increase, which is a good indicator of more intensive use of
Working Capital over a period of time. This may be because of the increase in Cost of sales by
11.7 % & 13.8% for the year 2008 and 2007 as compared to 2006 as the working capital remains
more or less the same.

INTERPRETATION:

In the case of comparison over a period of time, an increasing ratio is the indicator of better
efficiency. A decreasing ratio on the other hand is indicative of relative inefficiency or poor
efficiency.

In the above figure we can see that during the three years there is a continuous increase in the
current asset turnover ratio, which indicates an efficient use of working capital this may be due to
increase in sales as we can se that sales has gone up by 6.3% but the ratio of cuurent assets has
also been increased due to increase in the amount of Debtors by the company on account of credit
sales.

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 seem that from the year 2006 to 2007 it is more or less same
which has been rectified in the year 2008. The Company has lower down this ratio as it affects
the working capital cycle of company and the flow of cash in the company.

INTERPRETATION:

In the table and figure we see that there is continuous fall in the debtors of Narmada Gelatines
Limited in the successive years. A simple logic is that debtor’ decreases only when sales
decreases and if sales decreases it is bad sign for growth.

We can say that it is a bad sign as well as positive also. Company policy of debtors is very good
because a risk of bad debts is always present in high debtors. When sales are decreasing with a
great speed the profit also decreases. Since company decreases the Debtors they can use the
money in many Investment plans.

INTERPRETATION:

This ratio reflects the financial stability of the enterprise. The standard of the normal ratio is 2:1.
In the above figure we can see that the ratios are too high which indicates slackness of
management practices as reflected in excessive holding of current assets.

A higher Current ratio indicates more liquidity of the company and more ability to pay its current
obligations, in the above figure we can see that the ratio has been decreased to 3.14 from 4.32 in
previous year even though the amount of current assets & liabilities has increased this is because
of the companies credit sales policy and thereby increasing current liabilities.

INTERPRETATION:

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 2006 but it
went worst significantly in the next year and was poor during that year. But it is to be said that it
meet with the standard in the year 2008 it was very close to the standard and it can be said that its
liquidity position on an average is stable reason being on one hand an increase in the amount of
inventories but on the other hand there is an increase in current liabilities .

INTERPRETATION:

This ratio shows the relationship between current assets to total assets of the organization. Here
we can see an increase in the amount of current assets on account of increase in short term loans,
Inventories, and accrued interests, but on the other hand there is an increase in the amount of total
assets on account of capital work-in-progress and purchase of assets for credit. Therefore the ratio
has gone down to .63 as compared to .68 in the previous year.
