PREFACE
To reach the zenith alone, attempt is proved to be failure most of the times. Although today’s
business practices have evolved out of the past but there are complex practices, which
are followed. The business market place environment has become very dynamic and very fast
changing. Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited is marching ahead from national to global level.
Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited, India's premier information enabling and integration
company, has received the ISO 9001:2000 certification specifies requirements for a quality
management system where an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently
provide product and services that meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements. ISO
9001:2000 also aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the
system, including processes for continual improvement of the system and the assurance of
conformity to customer and applicable regulatory requirement.
The menu of Lakshmi Precision Screws Limited global services broadly covers the steel industry
and lighting industry. The products are marketed under the brand name of “LPS” all over the
country. The division is the country’s largest manufacturer of FTLs. And lighting division is the
second largest producer of the lighting products in India. All factories are ISO 9002. Exporting
to more than 40 countries. It is very difficult to make enlightened decision on the usual annual
financial statement of an organization. For evaluating the financial position and performance of
the organization, ratio analysis is attempted to comprehend and interpret the information to form
conclusion. When ratio analysis is being attempted for internal use, it yields very important
information on such aspects as over or under trading, over or under investment in stock and fixed
assets, over or under capitalization to credit policy.
Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as “the indicated
quotient of two mathematical expressions” and as “the relationship between two or more things.”
In financial analysis a ratio is used as a bench mark for evaluating the financial position and
performance of a firm. The absolute accounting figure reported in the financial statements
doesn’t provide a meaningful understanding of the performance and financial position of a firm.
For the purpose of Financial analysis of LPS and various ratios have been calculated. For
profitability of LPS gross profit, net profit, return on capital employed, return on total asset
have been calculated. In order to find out management efficiency various turnover ratio like
fixed asset turnover ratio, material handling turnover ratio, inventory turnover ratio, working
capital turnover ratio have been calculated. For studying short term liquidity position of LPS
ratios like current ratio, quick ratios are calculated.

OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the study was to analyze the financial statements prepared by LPS Ltd
and also to understand and analyze the cash flow statement.
Another objective was to identify the deficiencies or the weak points of the company, if found
during the analysis phase.
And then finally to draw conclusion and make recommendations for the company so that
corrective actions should be taken to improve the position of the company.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The procedure adopted for conducting the research requires a lot of attention as it has
direct bearing on accuracy, reliability and adequacy of results obtained. It is due to this reason
that the research methodology, which used at the time of conducting the research, needs to be
elaborated upon. Research methodology is a way to systematically study & solve the research
problems. If a researcher wants to claim his study as a goods study, he must clearly state the
methodology adopted in conducting the research so that it may be judged by the reader whether
the methodology of work done is sound or not.
Research problem here was to analyze the financial data of LPS Ltd. to come out with some
underlying facts behind the financial statements of the company.
Research Design:
The research design implemented in this research is descriptive in nature, as it seeks to
discover facts, ideas, insight & to bring out new relationship among the data items already
existing. Research design is Hexble enough to provide opportunity for considering different
aspects of problems under study. It helps in bringing into focus some inherent study can be
conducted by the mgt.
Sample: taken for the purpose of my study are the financial statements of last 4 years.
Information Collection:
For the purpose of analysis I have gone for the secondary information. As this is the base
of the study so the data which is reliable has been taken. And also annual reports of the company
& information through internet are taken.
The data collected in the aforesaid manner have been tabulated in condensed form to draw the
meaningful results, then different techniques are use to analyze the data.

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 statement so that the strength & the weakness of a firm as well as
historical performance & current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio refers to
the numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables.
Current Ratio
This ratio explains the relationship between the current assets and current liabilities. The higher
ratio, the better it is, because the firm will be able to pay its current liabilities more easily. But
much higher ratio, even it is Beneficial to creditors, is not necessarily good for company. It may
indicate the poor management policy.
Interpretation
Quick ratio
Quick ratio indicates whether the company is in position to pay its current liabilities within a
month or immediately. The quick ratio is a more rigorous and penetrating test of the liquidity
position of the firm.

These ratios express the relationship between the long - term tax and shareholders’ funds. It
indicates the proportion of funds, which are acquired by long – term borrowing in comparison to
shareholder funds.

Conclusion
Suggestions
Limitations
CONCLUSION
Liquidity position of the company is good as its current ratio and quick ratio for the year
2008 are 3.03:1 and .98:1 respectively which meets the standard.
Solvency position of the company is also satisfactory.
Debtors are converted very quickly. Average collection period of the company is very
good as it is decreasing over the years.
Fixed assets are utilized efficiently as fixed asset turnover ratio is increasing.
Overall cash flow position of the company is not satisfactory as both opening and closing
cash balances are in negative. And reasons for the same have been explained in the
preceding chapter.
Net sales and profits of the company have increased by 6.37% and 31.58% respectively
mainly due to increase in job work receipts.
Overall financial position of the company is good. There is need to improve the working
capital management only.
As company is diluting its share capital by issuing right shares so if company is not being
able to increase the earning in that case EPS will be decreased.
SUGGESTIONS
Since the competition is increasing the company must come up with new cost saving
techniques to reduce the cost and further increase the profit margin.
The old machinery which need constant repair should be replaced with the new one as it
would decrease the cost further.
In future company should not dilute the share capital further.
Company should increase its operating margins so that debt can be paid easily.
LIMITATIONS
Access to some information was denied by the company officials that affected the findings
to some extent.
The sample size was limited over just four years, which may not be fully representative of
the universe. A large sample size could not be taken due to time & cost constraints.
Some accounts are manipulated so that the financial statements may disclose a more
favorable position than the actual position.
Company provides only secondary data so certain type of bias is in study.
Lack of experience in this field may have incorporated some shortfalls.
The greatest limitation of the study was the time constraint, limited to 8 weeks which hinders
the progress of study.
Audited accounts for the year ending 2005-2006 were not available. There may be some
changes in financial statements after the accounts are audited.
