Interpretation of Cash Flow Statement
Overall Cash flow Statement shows that cash has been generated through Operating activity is
Rs 23059 , 28051 , 19559, 18101, -2162.36 and in the years 2015-16, 2014-15, 2013-14, 201213 and 2011-12 respectively. So major part of cash inflowing is Operating department.
Investment Activity Shows Cash Outflow and borrowing activities takes a little part in increasing
cash.

Operating Activities : Profit before tax is increased by Rs. 25038.17 Million and Net Cash
generated by Operating activity is increased by Rs. 25221.36 Million because,

Depreciation and amortizations are increased by Rs. 3387.15 Million in between

four year.

Trade and other receivable are also increased by Rs. 8214.59 Million in between
four year.

Investing Activities : Net Cash outflow from investing activities is Rs. 11528 Million
because,

Company has increased its plan and equipment worth Rs.10625 Million in
between four year.

Investment is also increase worth Rs. 220977 Million in between four year.

From this inference that these investments has been met out of the cash from
Operations or borrowings.

Investments in Fixed Assets could be part of Companys plan of expansion or

modernization.

Financial Activities: From the section on cash flow from Financial Activities company
think to proceeds in both short term and long term borrowings with proceeds from
exercise of employee stock option.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Methodology is a systematically solve the research problem. It has many

dimensions and research methods constitute a part of the research methodology.

Thus when we talk about research methodology, we do not only talk of the research
methods but also consider the logic behind the methods. We use in context of our research
study, so that research results are capable of being evaluated either by researcher himself
or by others.

To effectively carry out in research, I would use the following research process, which
consists of series of actions or steps.
Research comprises of the following steps:-

1. Formulating the research Problem.

2. Research design & Sample Design.
3. Analysis of data gathered
4. Data analysis comparison
5. Graphics and interpret
1 FORMULATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
This is the first step under which the problem is stated in general way and then ambiguities i.e.
understanding and rephrasing the problem thoroughly and rephrasing the same into a
meaningful terms from an analysis point of view.
The research problem under the present project was to study data of various funds. For this
research process was to be formulated and the execution of which would result in the desired
data.
2. PREPARING THE RESEARCH DESIGN
The function of research design is to provide for the collection of relevant evidences with
minimal expenditure of efforts, time and money.

Type of research

Sample design
TYPE OF RESEARCH

The type of research under present is an analytical research. In analytical research; we use
tact's or information already available, and analyze these to make a critical evaluation of the
material. Hence the same would be done.

In this project I had collected facts, data, and information.

SAMPLE DESIGN

A sample design is a definite plan determined before any data is actually collected for obtaining
a sample. Researcher must select a sample design, which should be reliable and appropriate
for his report.
3. OBSERVATIONAL DESIGN (COLLECTION OF DATA)
Observational design relates to the condition under which the observations are to be made.
Observational design in respect to research. There are several ways of collecting the
appropriate data, which differ considerably in context of money, time cost and other resources at
the disposal of the researcher.

Data can be obtained from two important sources:

Primary data

Secondary Data

Primary data
Primary data are the data that are collected afresh and for the first time. Thus happens to be in
character. Primary data are collected by the following ways:a)

Observation

b)

Interview

c)

Schedule

d)

Questionnaire

Secondary Data
Secondary data are the data that are already collected and are only analyzed by
different sources these sources are as follows:

Corporate magazine

Manuals of various companies

Books, journals, newspaper

Employment exchange
The secondary data would be collected from Cash flow statement, journal of national

repute, books of national and international author as well as the annual report of the company.
In addition to this internet access will make the study more effective and meaningful.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Cash flow analysis is analysis of Cash flow statements of and enterprise. Cash flow
statement reorganized collection of data according to logical and constituent accounting
procedures. How ever Cash flow statements in their traditional from giving historical data and
information are of little us to these who use them to draw certain conclusion.
Cash flow appraisal is scientific evaluation of profitability and Cash flow strength of any
business concern. Cash flow appraisal techniques include ration analysis common size analysis

trend analysis, fund flow analysis etc. these techniques may be applied in the Cash flow
appraisal of any entity and LUXOTTICA Ltd. is no exception to it.

PROFITABILITY
The measurement of profitability is a tool of overall measurement of efficiency an overall
study profitability of LUXOTTICA has been Dade in relation to sales operating assets capital
employed and its net worth.
By analysis the working result i.e. Profit and loss account of LUXOTTICA. It was found that
the net profit before interest and tax of the LUXOTTICA is showing increasing trends. This is
very good for LUXOTTICA. The increase in the profits is nearly 24% more then previous year

the reason is good sales growth between years. For this following suggestion should be
considered.
Proper cost control is required and cost control technique should be adopted for it.
Operating expenses, admn. Expenses should be specially considered to be reduced.

Cash flow is the biggest items of balance sheet that must have demanded a large
amount of maintaining cost. So efficient Cash flow management should be done. Cash
flow should be reduced extent that would help to recover blocking money in Cash flow.

The service staff should be given proper training and better environment for work.
Proper advertisement and sales promotion is required.

Dairy has to pay large fix interest charged. Hence long term borrowing should be
reduced so that the earning is satisfactorily earmarked with them.
