HUTTI GOLD MINES COMPANY LIMITED
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
While exploration and mining can sometimes be conducted by individual entrepreneurs

or small business, most modern-day mines are large enterprises requiring large amounts of
capital to establish. Consequently, the mining sector of the industry is dominated by large,
often multinational, mostly publicly-listed companies. . However, what are referred to as the
‘mining industry’ are actually two sectors, one specializing in exploration for new resources, the
other specializing in mining those resources. The exploration sector is typically made up of
individuals and small mineral resource companies dependent on pubic investment. The mining
sector is typically large and multi-national production from their mining operations.
Miners today do more than just dig tunnels in the Earth’s subsurface. There are many
different jobs, direct and indirect, in the mining industry, ranging from engineers and lab
technicians to geologists and environmental specialists. Beyond employment directly linked to
mine-site activity, the modern mining industry also employs many other professionals,
including accountants, lawyers, sales representatives, public relations specialists, not to
mention thousands of men and women involved, who manufacture the machines and
equipment necessary to mine minerals.

COMPANY HISTORY
This mine is probably one of the ancient metal mines in the world dating to the pre-
Ashoken period. Carbon dating of the old timber collected from old workings indicated about
2000 years of ancient mining activity. Between 1887 and 1920 nearly 7.40 tons of gold was
recovered from very rich ore at an average yield of 19 grams per ton. Most of the ore was from
the main mine which was worked by Hutti (NIZAMS) gold mine, an of shoot of Hyderabad
(DECCAN) Company. The main mines were up to a depth of 1056mts. The industry was closed
down in 1920 due to technical difficulties and the First World War.
In 1937 the Nizam’s decided to prospect the area with a view to response the mines. In
1940 based on favorable exploratory results, it was decided to install a plant to treat 100 TPS
per day. But before the plant could be commissioned, mining operation was suspended from
1942 to 1946 due to second world war, the mine was shut down and only pumping was carried
out.
After the war, the Hyderabad gold mines company Ltd was found in1947 and regular
mine production started in September 1948 at the rate of 130 tons per day. By 1972 this was
progressively increased to 600 tons per day. In the year 1999 increased to 910 tone per day.
With abolition of gold control at commencement of new mines policies HGML was in a
position to greatly expand its activities. It was proposed to increased production from 2.6 lakhs
tones of ore per annum to 5 lakhs tones of ore pre annum after completion of the
modernization and expansion programme by introducing mechanized mining & latest CIP
treatment process technology from the year 2000 to 2001.

COMPANY PROFILE
Hutti Gold Mines Company Limited (HGML), Government of Karnataka Undertaking

(Established in 1947 as Hyderabad Gold Mines), has the unique distinction of being the only
producer of primary gold in the country.
HGML has been active in the exploration, development and exploitation of gold deposits
occurring in Karnataka.
The Company’s Corporate office is situated in Bangalore and it operates two units-The
Hutti Gold unit (HGU) in Raichur district and the Chitradurga Gold unit (CGU) in Chitradurga
district with an operating mine at Ajjanahalli (Tumkur District).
HGU and CGU are fully integrated units, with capacities to produce 600000 TPA and
261000 TPA of ore respectively. The HGML currently processes the ore from Hutti Mine and two
satellite mines at Uti (opencast) and Hira-Buddinni (Exploratory underground mine).
Geology & Reserves
Hutti is located at Latitude 16 12’ N. Longitude 76 43’ E.
The Hutti Gold Deposit is located in the Hutti-Maski Pre-Cambrian greenstone belt. The
auriferous lodes occur within the metaba salts and are gold quartz sulphide lodes, which are
confined to laterally and depth persistent shear zones.
Gold occurs in native state and is generally associated with quartz veins and also with
sulphide minerals viz., arsnopyrite, purrhotite and pyrite as inclusion, fracture filling and also
replacement in microscopic and submicroscopic particles.
Localization of gold mineralization is litho logically and mainly structurally controlled and
the ore shoots have typical geometric pattern of distribution. There are nine parallel lodes
exposed on the surface, of which six lodes are being mined. The Hutti deposit extends for about
4 km strike length and the width covered by all the parallel lodes is about 1.5 km. The parallel
lodes have a general strike of NNW – SSE and dips ranging from 600-700 due West.
The strike length covered by the present mining is 1.4 km and the proved and probable
ore reserves up to the present mine depth of 846 m are 6.76 million tonnes at 5.27 g/t grade.
The immediate northern and southern extensions of Hutti mines also have good potential and
detailed exploration by drilling and exploratory mines development is in progress on the
extensions of New East Reef, Strike Reef, Zone-I Reef, Middle Reef and Oakley’s Reefs.

PRODUCT PROFILE:
Gold has long considered one of the most precious metals, and its value has been used
as the standard for many currencies (Known as the gold standard) in history. Gold has been
used as a symbol for purity, value, royalty, and particularly roles that combine these properties.
The price of gold is determined on the open market, but a procedure known as the Gold
Fixing in London, originating in 1919, provides a twice-daily benchmark figure to the industry.
Historically gold was used to back currency in an economic system known as the gold
standard in which one unit of currency was equivalent to a certain amount of gold. As part of
this system, governments attempted to control the price of gold by setting values at which they
would exchange it for currency.
For all long period the HGML, Government of Karnataka Undertaking (Established in
1947 as Hyderabad Gold Mines), has the unique distinction of being the only producer of
primary gold in the country.
HGML has been active in the exploration, development and exploitation of gold deposits
occurring in Karnataka.
The Company’s corporate office is situated in Bangalore and it operates two

units-The Hutti Gold unit (HGU) in Raichur district and the Chitradurga Gold Unit (CGU) in
Chitradurga district with an operating mine at Ajjanahalli (Tumkur District).
HGU and CGU are fully integrated units, with capacities to produce 6,00,000 TPA and

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
Production is the basic activity of all industrial units. All other activities revolve around
this activity. The end product of the production activity is the creation of goods and services for
the satisfaction of the human wants. The production activity is nothing but the step-by-step
conversion of one form of material into another either chemically or mechanically. This is done
in factories which house manufacturing processes. The basic input of the production processes
are men, machines, plant, and methods.
An organization capabilities and the intent are strongly reflected in the product it
manufactures. The manufacturing competencies and facilities echo truly, the R&D extent and
the ability to implement it for the best of the market it targets. The product of mine is used as
raw materials on which the processing is done to create or enhance the form utility. It should
note that the finished product of one manufacturing unit does not always furnish a readymade
product for the ultimate consumption. In a chain of manufacturing activities, the finished
product of processor sometimes become the raw material (or component) for the other
manufacturing firms falling next in the sequence.
HGML Company has world class manufacturing facilities having to extract the Gold as
well as finished product will be completed through the manufacturing process.
MINING AND TREATMENT
HGML’s production has steadily increased over the years. In this process, HGML has
been able to develop much needed. Technological expertise in the field and prepare itself to
take new challenges of growth and development. Over the years, the Company smelting
leading to increased competitiveness of its operations.
HGML’s operation starts with mining of Gold ore. The use of bulk mining methods viz,
large Diablast, Hole stepping and sub-level mining have achieved higher safety and productivity.
The ore is Crushed ground to very fine Powder. The Grinding output is subjected to
Cyanidation and CIP (Carbon in Pulp) process, where Metallic Gold leaches and gets adsorbed
on activated carbon.
Gold is recovered through two routes:

 Gravity Concentration
 Leaching, CIP, Elution, Electro winning Process and there after smelting to produce
Saleable Gold Bullion Bar.
The Brief Description about the Mineral Treatment Plant:-
ROM is of -8” size is crushed to -10” mm size in three stages.
In the first stage, there are three no’s of KueKen Jaw Crushes which act as primary
crusher and reduces the ore to -2-1/2” of size stored in 200MT.
In the second stage, 3” standard Simon cone crusher acts as secondary crusher and
reduces the ore to 1’ size.
To ease out the load on the Simon cone crusher a vibrating screen with 1” aperture size
is used. The secondary crusher product along with screen underflow stored in a 400 MT
capacity intermediate bin for further crushing.
In the territory stage, there are two no’s of short head and two no’s of 4’ short head
Simon cone crushers. These crushers opening are set at 10mm size and they are in close circuit
with vibrating screen.
The final product from crushing plant i.e. -10mm size is stored in a 1500 MT capacity
fine ore bin for subsequent treatment i.e. grinding.
The Milling/Grinding process of gold Ore in Hutti employs two distinct grinding
techniques.
In the first technique, grinding is done in two stages, i.e. Primary grinding and Secondary
grinding for further the communition and one 8’dia*16’ long primary mill and three no’s of 5-
1/2” dia*22-1/2” long tube mills constitute one stream of grinding in which pebble and smaller
size balls are used as composite grinding media. In the first technique, two such streams are
there and strake tables are used to collect coarse Gold as concentrate for this circuit.
In the second technique, Grinding is done by four ball mills of different sizes i.e. 9’*8’*,
8’*10 and 9’*12’ and each of them are independent circuits in which larger sizes balls are used
as grinding media and in these circuit Knelson concentrators are used to collect coarse gold as
concentrate.
In all the milling techniques, cyclones are in close circuit with the mills so as to get the
required sizes (i.e. 80% passing 75 HM) for the subsequent treatment process.

The concentrates collected from both the techniques are upgrade on James table and
upgraded concentrate is roasted magneted and finally smelted into bullion buttons.
The entire Cyclone overflows i.e. finely ground ore in the form of slurry from two stream
of 1” technique and 4 stream of 2nd techniques join together in a distributor box from which
finely grind ore in the form of slurry is fed to a high rate Thickner for thickening purpose. The
thickened pulp (60% solid w/w) obtained from thickness are subjected to Cyanidation process
in which cyanide accessible gold in slurry makes complexes with cyanide in presence of oxygen
and dissolve in solution at high pts. To increase the oxygen potential of slurry H2O2 is added in
addition to compressed air. These Cyanidation or leaching process is carried in a serried of
mechanically agitated zones of agitators of different sizes i.e. 16*16”, 20*20” and 11m*11.5m
agitator.
The cyanide leached pulp then fed to three no’s of 1000 TPD capacity and one no 300
TPD which are parallel in circuit. The objective of CIP plant is to absorb dissolved gold in
activated carbon from the solution.
The Gold loaded carbon is removed from CIP plant periodically, selected to acid alkali
washed and then eluted in 4 no’s of elution columns with 1.0% NAOH and 0.1% NACN solution
qt 95*c for a period for 75 hours. The solution is then passed through 4 no’s of electro winning
cells in which gold is deposited on steel wool cathodes.
The gold loaded steel wool cathodes are manually removed periodically, subjected to
acid digestion, drying and smelted to obtain Bullion buttons. The bullion buttons thus obtained
from table concentrators and steel wool are cast in to Bullion and then Dispatched for sales.
Metallurgical Department
The Gold extraction process in HGML practices Mineral Processing, Hydro electro & Pyro
Metallurgical routes. The Major unit processes involved is described below:
Role: - To extract Gold of 91% pure from ROM at the optimal cost.
Crushing
Mine ore is drawn mainly from the adjacent Mallapa Shaft ore-bin of 1000 tonnes
capacity, while ore from the other shafts is brought in to the crushing circuit via a surface ore-
bin of about 200 tonnes capacity equipped with chain feeder and inclined conveyor belt etc.
ROM is crushed to -10 mm size in three stages. In the first stage there are three nos. of
KueKen Jaw crushers, which act as primary crusher and crushed ore stored in 200 MT. In the

second stage 2 Nos. of 3’ standard Symons cone crusher act as secondary crusher and in the
tertiary stage, there are 2 nos. of 3’ short head and 2 nos. of 4’ short head symon cone
crushers. These crushers are in close circuit with vibrating screen. Crushed product is stored in a
fine ore bin of 1500 tons capacity before feeding to grinding plant.
Automatic sampler and weight meter and weighbridge provide the necessary
production input details.
Grinding
Mill Capacity: 1950 TPD
The milling/Grinding process of gold ore in Hutti employs two district grinding
techniques. In the first technique grinding is two stages i.e. one primary mill and 3 nos. of
secondary tube mills constitute one stream of grinding. Two such streams are there. The
discharges of these mills are passed on strake table spread with blankets which recover coarse
gold by gravity process, and system is in close circuit operation.
In the second technique, single stage grinding is done in four nos. of independent ball
mills in close circuit with cyclone classification system. The mill discharge is passed through
Knelson concentrators to recover the free gold. The stake tables concentrate and Knelson
concentrate is further upgraded on James table to produce smelt able grade of gold.

Cyanidation and carbon in pulp process (CIP):
The cyclone overflow from both the techniques is subjected to thickening in a High rate
thickener to remove excess water, which is passed through a series of carbon column to
recover dissolved gold. The thickened pulp of specific solid content is mixed with cyanide for
leaching in a series of mechanical agitators at alkaline media. To facilitate leaching hydrogen
peroxide assisted with compressed air is used to improve oxygen potential in circuit. The
cyanide leached pulp is sent to carbon-in-pulp (CIP) unit, agitated with activated carbon in
suspension. The dissolved gold is then absorbed on carbon as sodium auro cyanide. The gold
loaded carbon is removed from the CIP periodically and carbon is washed with water and given
acid and alkaline treatment.
Elution and Electro-winning Plant:

The clean & gold loaded carbon is elution columns by maintaining the specific
parameters. The gold in the pregnant solution is recovered in electrolytic cells using steel wool
as a cathode on which the gold is deposited. The stripped carbon that retails a very little gold is
activated and reused.
Refinery:
The upgrade James table concentrate is roasted, magneted and finally smelted into
bullion buttons. The gold loaded steel wool is manually removed periodically, subjected to acid
digestion, drying and smelted to obtain bullion buttons. The bullion buttons thus obtained from
table concentrate and steel wool are cast into salable bullion bars weighing 5 to 11 Kgs having a
purity of 88-91% of gild, 8-11% of silver and balance impurity.

as “purchase requisition”. It specifies what kind of material is required.
2. EXPLORING THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY:
The purchase manager is usually in contact with several sources of suppliers of

different materials. If the materials are to be purchased in bulk, he invites quotations
from various suppliers in the form of a tender. When tenders are invited, then the
lowest tender should be accepted by the purchase department by considering other
factors like quality, terms of payment, modes of delivery etc.
3. PLACING AN ORDER:
After selecting the supplier who has quoted most favorable quotations, the next
step to be taken by the purchase manager is to place the order. The order must be
made on a printed form and must contain such information as number, date, address of
supplier, particulars of goods etc. this order from should prepare in 4 copies. The
original copy should be sent to suppliers, second copy to the stores department for its
future reference.
4. RECEIPT AND INSPECTION:
When the invoice is received from the concerned vendor, it will be compared
with the order form to ascertain whether the ordered good have been supplied or not.
Then these goods are physically inspected to ascertain whether goods received tally
with the invoice.

5. ENTRIES IN THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNT:
After the goods received are closely checked and if found correct, the receiving
clerk prepares goods received note in three copies. Three copies along with goods
received will be sent to stores department which send one copy to purchase and
accounts department for payment.

INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Finance is defined as the money at the time when it is required. Every firm needs
finance whether it is small, medium, and big to carry on its operation and to a show its targets.
And it is rightly said that finance is lifeblood of an enterprise. Without adequate finance, no
enterprise can possibly accomplish its objectives.
Management is a vital function control with all aspects of business management,

have become a sort of pre-requisite for the successful carrier in dynamic business environment.
The present study is concerned in Hutti Gold Mines Company Limited, Hutti.
Technically analysis of working capital in which the present project report is an

important part of financial managing current assets, which is more difficult than management
of fixed assets and the finance management needs to strike a balance both profitability and
liquidity. If liquidity more there will be adverse effect of profitability is given more weight age is
to greater risk.
A business enterprise with adequate working capital is always in a position to evil

advantage of any favorable opportunities. The present study related to the working capital
management Hutti Gold Mines Company Ltd, Hutti. Sources control and effective utilization of
the working capital by the company.
An endeavor has been made to study and analyze the assisting pattern and
utilization of financial resources and analyze the five year of working capital management. The
project primarily deals with the study of financing and utilization of available resources and
measuring the performance of the company.
Working capital
Meaning:
Working capital management can be defined as that aspect of financial

management,which is concerned with the safeguarding and controlling of the firms current
assets, and planning for sufficient funds to pay current bills.
Working capital management is concerned with all decisions and acts that
influence the size and effectiveness of working capital. The goal of working capital management
is to manage each of the firm’s current assets and current liabilities in such a way that an
acceptable level of networking capital is maintained.

The important aspects of working capital are:
 Determining the requirements of working capital.
 Financing the requirements and
 Efficient utilization of requirement of working capital.
Working capital management involves taking decisions regarding:
 The need to invest funds in current assets
 The amount of funds to be invested in each type of current assets and their relative
proportion.
 The proportion of long term and short term funds to finance the current assets and
 To finance these current assets through appropriate sources of funds.
The term working capital management means managing the firm’s current assets and
current liabilities in such a way that, it will help to reach the organizational goals.
Current Assets:
Current assets are the assetswhich can be converted into cash within an accounting. The major
current assets are cash, marketing securities, accounts receivable and inventory.
Current Liabilities:
Current liabilities are those claims of outsiders which are expected to mature for payment
within an accounting year. The basic current liabilities are accounts payable, bills payable, bank
overdraft and outstanding expenses.
The interaction between current assets and current liabilities is the main theme of the
working capital management. Because if the firm cannot maintain a satisfactory level of
working capital, it is likely to become insolvent and may even be forced into bankruptcy. The
current assets should be managed efficiently in order to maintain the liquidity of the firm.

Concepts of Working Capital Management:
1. Gross working capital:
The term gross working capital refers to the firm's investment in current assets.
This includes cash, short term securities, debtors (accounts receivable book debts bills
receivable) and stock (inventory).
2. Net working capital:
The term net working capital refers to the difference between current assets and
current liabilities.
Working capital will arise when assets exceed current liabilities and a negative
working capital will occurs when liabilities are in excess of current assets.
x Net working capital is a qualitative concept. It indicates the liquidity position of the
firm and suggests the extent to which needs may be financed by permanent sources of
funds.
Need for Working Capital:
The need for working capital cannot be over emphasised. The need for working
capital rises due to the time gap between production and realisation of cash from sales.
Kinds of Working capital :
1. Fixed or permanent working capital
The need for current assets arises because of the operating cycle. Operating
cycle is a continues process and, therefore the need for current assets is felt constantly.
There is always a minimum level of current assets, which is continuously required by the
firm to carry on its business operations. This minimum level of current asset is referred
to as permanent or fixed working capital.
2. Fluctuating or temporary working capital
The change in production and sale, leads change in working capital.
For example: Extra inventory of finished goods will have to be maintained to

support the peak periods. On the other hand investment in raw material, work in
progress and finished goods will fall if the market is slack.

The extra working capital needed to support the changing production and sales
activities called fluctuating or temporary working capital.
Permanent and temporary working capitals are necessary to facilitate production

and sale through the operating cycle, but temporary working capital is created by the
firm to meet liquidity requirements.
The permanent working capital line need not be horizontal if the firm’s requirement for
permanent capital is decreasing over a period.
Approaches to Working Capital
Depending upon the mixture of sources by which the working capital of a company is
financed, there may be different approaches. They are
 Aggressive approach
 Conservative approach
 Matching approach
1. Aggressive approach
A firm may be aggressive in financing its assets. An aggressive policy is followed by the
firm when it uses more short term financing than warranted by the matching firm. Under
aggressive policy, the firm finances apart of its current assets with short term funds.
2. Conservative approach
A firm in practice may adopt a conservative approach in financing its current and fixed
assets. The financing policy of the firm is said to be conservative when it depends more on long
term funds for financing needs. Under a conservative plan, the firm finances its and also a part
of temporary current assets with long term financing.
3. Matching approach
When the firm adopts matching approach, long term sources will be used to finance
fixed assets and permanent current assets and short term sources to finance temporary or
variable current assets. Thus a ten year loan may be raised to finance a plant with an expected

life time of ten years; stock of goods to be sold within 30 days may be financed with a 30 day
commercial paper. Using long term financing for short term assets is expensive as funds will not
be utilized for the full period.
Factors influencing working capital
1 . Nature of the business: -
The nature of the business affects the working capital requirements of a concern to a
great extent. For instance, public utilities like railways, electricity companies etc need very little
working capital, because they need not hold large inventories, and their operation are mostly
on cash basis. On the other hand, ordinary manufacturing and trading firms requires sufficiently
large capital, as they have to invest substantially and accounts receivables
2 Scale of operations: -
The scale of operation affects the working capital requirement of a concern. Concern
carrying on small activities needs less working capital. On the other hand, a concern
undertaking activities on large scale needs large amount of working capital.
3 Growth and expansion of business
The growth and expansion of business also affects the working capital requirements.
When there is growth and expansion in the business of a firm, the working capital needs of
the firm also increases
4 Fluctuation in supplies: -
working capital requirements Fluctuation in supplies affects the working capital

requirement of a firm. For instance, certain raw materials may be available only during
certain seasons. Such materials have to be necessarily obtained and stored in large
quantities to provide for periods when supplies will not be available. This will cause
fluctuation in supplies will cause fluctuation in the
5 Credit policy: -
The credit policy of a firm will affect its working capital requirements. A firm, which
allows liberal credit tight customers credit facilities enjoyed by credit ion. The credit
facilities enjoyed by a firm from its creditors will also affect the working capital requirement

of a firm. A firm enjoying liberal credit facilities from its suppliers or creditors will need
lower working capital then a firm that does not enjoy liberal credit facilities from its
suppliers.
6 Government regulations: -
Government regulations and restrictions affect the working capital requirements of a

firm. For instance, the tendon committee has prescribed norms for holding inventories and
debtors, which a concern is not expected to exceed. This will certainly affect the working capital
requirements of the concern
Importance or advantages of working capital
1. Solvency of business: - Adequate working capital helps in maintaining solvency of the

business by providing uninterrupted flow of production.
2. Goodwill: - Sufficient working unable a business concern to make prompt payments and
hence helps in creating and maintaining goodwill.
3. Easy Loans: - A concern having adequate working capital, high solvency and good credit
standing can arrange loans from banks and other on easy and favorable terms.
4. Cash Discounts: - Adequate working capital also enables a concern to avail cash discounts
on the purchase and hence it reduces cost.
5. Regular Supply Of Raw Materials: - Sufficient working capital ensures regular supply of raw
material and continuous production.
6. Regular payment of salaries, wages and other day-to-day commitments:- A company
which has ample working capital can make regular capital of salaries, wages and other
day- to-day commitments which raise the morale of its employees , increase their
efficiency, reduces wastage and costs and enhances production and profile.
7. Quick and regular return on investments:- Every investor wants a quick and regular return
on his investments. Sufficient working capital enables a concern to pay quick dividends
to its investors as there may not be much pressure to plough back profit. This gains the
confidence of its investors and creates favorable markets to raise additional funds.

8. High morale:- Adequacy of working capital creates an environment of securities,

confidence and high morale and creates efficiency in a business.
Objective of working capital:
 To ensure adequate liquidity of a firm
 To minimize the risk and
 The contribution to the maximization of firm’s value.
Operating efficiency:
The operating efficiency of the management is also an important determine of the level
working capital position through operating efficiency. Management cannot control the rise in
prices; it can ensure the efficient utilization of resources by eliminating waste, improving
coordination and a fuller utilization of existing resources. Efficiency of operations and a fuller
utilization existing resources. By eliminating waste, improving co-ordination of resources the
pace of cash cycle and improves the working capital turnover. It releases the pressure on
working capital by improving profitability and improving the internal generation of funds.
The level of working capital is determined by a wide variety of factors which are partly
internal to the firm and party external (environmental) to it. Effective working capital
management requires effective planning and a constant review of the needs for an appropriate
working capital strategy.
Estimation of working capital requirements:
 Expenses on raw materials, labours and overhead.
 Length of time the raw material to be held in stock.
 Length of time the raw materials remain in manufacturing process in semi finished form.
 Length of time, finished goods are held in go down waiting sales.
 Credit period granted to the sundry debtors.

 Credit period granted by the sundry creditors and
 Time gap in the payment of wages, salaries and other operating exp
 Operating cycle:
Operating cycle is time duration required to convert sales, after the conversion
of resources into inventories into cash. Investment in current assets such as inventories and
debtors is realized during the firm’s operating cycle which is usually less than a year.

Need for study:
I have selected this topic for the study because Working Capital management
plays an important role in the company; so it is to be maintained in a good and better way so as
to fulfill the present and future needs of the company. In this case a firm should earn sufficient
return from its operations. Earning a steady amount of profit requires successful sales ,which
do not convert into cash instantanly.
Therefore, it is important to manage the Working Capital management carefully

by using scientific and systematic techniques.

components of currents assets and current liabilities is shown in pie charts. The increase in

current assets was due to more and more sales of gold and non- payments of timely due to
creditors and other outstanding payments . Since the proportionate change in current assets

ESTIMATION OF CURRENT ASSETS
 Raw material inventory:-
The investment in raw material inventory is estimated on the basis of the following
formula.
Cost of raw material * Average inventory holding periods (months/days)
12 Months/365days
 Work in progress inventory:-
The relevant costs to determine work in process inventory are the proportionate share
of costs of raw material and conversion costs (labors and manufacturing overhead costs
excluding depreciation).
Estimated WIP cost (Rs) * Average time spend of WIP inventory (months/days)
12 Months/365days
 Finished goods inventory:-
Working capital required for financing the finished goods inventory is given by factor
summed up as follows.

Cost of goods produced (Rs) * finished goods holding periods (months/days)
12 Months/365days
 Debtors:-
The working capital tied up in debtors should be estimated in relation to total cost price
(excluding depreciation) symbolically.
Cost of Sales (Rs) * Average debt collection periods (months/days)
12 Months/365days
 Cash and Bank balance:-
After the above factor of working capital needs cash and bank balance are also very
important. Firms nowadays require keeping some amount of cash balance for
emergency purpose. It is difficult to lay down the exact procedure of determining the
amount.
ESTIMATION OF CURRENT LIABILITIES
The working capital needs of the business firms are lower to that extent such needs are
not through the current liabilities (other than the bank credit) arising in the ordinary course of
the business. The important current liabilities, in the context are trade creditor, time lag in the
payment of wages salaries and advance receipts.
 Trade Creditors:-
Raw Material Cost (Rs)* Credit period allowed by creditors (months/days)
12 Months/365days

 Time lag in payment of :-
Wages & Salaries Cost (Rs)* Time lag in payment of wages & salary
12 Months/365days
ges and Salaries:-
 Advance received:-
Advance receipts are current liabilities. The advance payment received from
customers makes impact on working capital.
 Bills payables:-
Bills payables are also short term liabilities so it is taken in the current liabilities, so it
will be payable in a short period of time so it is a one of current liabilities.
 Short-term bank loans:-
The loan taken for the period of less than one year is called as short-term loan; it is
also a kind of current liability.

working capital upto 2006-07. Due to global meltdown in 2007-08 the profit of the company
is decreased over working capital. But even in global meltdown the company is making
profit.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is the one of the powerful tool of the financial analysis. A ratio can be
defined as “The indicates quotient of two mathematical expression and as the relationship
between two figures”. It is expressed where one figure is divided by another. If 10,000 divided
4,000 the ratio can be expressed as 0.4 or 2:5 or 40%.
 Important of Ratio Analysis:-
The following are the main point of ratio analysis:-
 Useful in financial position analysis.

 Useful in simplifying accounting figure.
 Useful in assessing the operational figure.
 Useful in assessing purpose.
 Useful in forecasting purpose.
 Useful in comparison of performance.
 Classification of Ratio:-
1. Financial Ratio
2. Profitability Ratio
3. Turnover Ratio
4. Leverage Ratio
5. Coverage
TOOLS OF ANALYSIS
The analysis part is the important part of the research. In this project the tools used for the
analysis are.
 Ratio Analysis:-
a. Liquidity Ratio
b. Turnover Ratio
c. Profitability Ratio
Current Ratio

Meaning – This ratio establishes a relationship between current assets and current liabilities to
measure the ability of the firm to meet its short-term obligations and to reflect the short-term
financial strength/solvency of a firm. In other words , it measures the safety margin available
for short-term creditors.
Interpretation: standard current ratio is 2:1. Higher ratio i.e. more than 2:1 indicates sound
solvency position. Lower ratio indicates insufficient short-term liquidity.
Current ratio = current assets
Current liabilities
Current ratio for 2008-09 = 5862.40+51.10+18353.91+385.62+15044.73
5200.81+15736.62
= 39697.76
20939.43
= 1.896
Similarly current ratio for the rest of the years:
Year Current assets (Rs. In Current liabilities (Rs. Current ratio

Year Lakhs) In Lakhs)
2003-04 5166.62 4832.23 1.069
2004-05 8710.39 5867.44 1.485
2005-06 12849.08 8936.34 1.438
2006-07 18046.29 13199.72 1.367
2007-08 27256.41 13711.06 1.988
2008-09 39697. 20937.4 1.896

76 3

Interpretation
From the above table and graph we can observe the current ratios from 2003-04 to 2008-09.
The ratios shows the firm’s commitment to meet its short term liabilities. Generally 2:1 is
considered as ideal for a concern. If the ratio is less then 2 the firm may face difficult in
payment of current liabilities. Since ratios of the company are close to 2, it is maintaining
ideal ratio.
Quick assets ratio
Meaning- This ratio establishes a relationship between quick assets and current liabilities to
measure the ability of the firm to meet its short-term obligations as and when due without
relying upon the realization of stock.
Quick ratio = Current assets-Inventory
Current liabilities
Quick ratio for 2008-09 = 51.10+18353.91+385.62+15044.73
5200.81+15736.62
= 33835.36
20937.43

= 1.61
Similarly quick ratio for the rest of the years:
Year Quick assets(Rs.in Current liabilities (Rs. Quick ratio

lakhs) in lakhs)
2003-04 2389.94 4832.23 0.49
2004-05 4960.92 5867.44 0.84
2005-06 8895.76 8936.34 0.99
2006-07 13076.41 13199.72 0.99
2007-08 22227.73 13711.06 1.62
2008-09 33835.36 20937.43 1.61
Interpretation
Liquid ratio establishes relationship between Liquid Liabilities and Liquid Assets. It is inferred
from the above table, that the Liquid Ratio which is increasing from 2003-04 to 2008-09.
The above table indicates the Quick Ratio has increasing above the standard level of 1:1
in recent years which is good sign for liquidity. Since it is maintaining 1.61:1 in recent years
we can say that the liquidity of the company is good.
Current assets turnover ratio
Meaning- This ratio establishes a relationship between net sales and current assets. The
objective is to determine the efficiency with which the current assets are utilized.

Current assets turnover ratio = Net sales
Current assets
Current assets turnover ratio for 2008-09 = 31602.79
39697.76
= 0.80
Similarly current assets turnover ratio for the rest of the years:
Year Net sales Current assets Times
2003-04 16342.46 5166.62 3.16

2004-05 18059.78 8710.39 2.07

2008-09 31602.79 39697.76 0.80

Interpretation
From the above table we can see that the ratio is decreasing year by year which was 3.16 in
2003-04 to 0.80 in2008-09. A decrease in the ratio is a good indication of the performance of
the company . since the ratio is decreasing every year it shows ability of the company to
realize from debtors and less amount of money is blocked in inventories
4 cash ratio
year cash Current liabilities Times
2003-04 302.94 4834.23 0.06
2004-05 241.80 5867.44 0.04

2008-09 18353.91 20937.43 0.88

Interpretation
From the above table it is clear that the company is very good. The cash maintainance of
the company is increasing year by year from 302.94 lakhs in 2003-04 to 18353.91 lakhs in
2008-09. Good cash position of the company helpful to meet the expenses of the company.
Working Capital Turnover Ratio
Meaning – This ratio establishes a relationship between net sales and working capital. The
objective is to determine the efficiency with which the working capital is utilized.
Working capital turnover ratio= Net sales
