INTRODUCTION
THE PRODUCT COCA COLA

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines
in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company and is often referred to
simply as Coke. Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th
century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler,
whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the
20th century.

The company actually produces concentrate, which is then sold to various licensed
Coca-Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially exclusive contracts
with the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in
combination with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and
merchandise Coca-Cola in cans and bottles to retail stores and vending machines. Such
bottlers include Coca-Cola Enterprises, which is the largest single Coca-Cola bottler in North
America and western Europe. The Coca-Cola Company also sells concentrate for fountain sales
to major restaurants and food service distributors.

The Coca-Cola Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Coke
brand name. The most common of these is Diet Coke, which has become a major diet cola.
However, others exist, including Diet Coke Caffeine-Free, Cherry Coke, Coca-Cola Zero, Vanilla
Coke and special editions with lemon and with lime and even with coffee.

In response to consumer insistence on a more natural product, the company is in the


process of phasing E211 or Sodium Benzoate, the controversial additive linked to DNA damage
and hyperactivity in children, out of Diet Coke. The company has stated that it plans to remove
the controversial additive from its other products - including Sprite, and Oasis - as soon as a
satisfactory alternative is discovered.

THE AUTOMATED BOTTLING PROCESS
The glass bottles returned from the market are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with
specially formulated cleaning agents at high temperature that use sophisticated state-of-the-art
Bottle Washers or Bottle Risers(in case of PET). These bottles are then transported to the filler
using a fully automated conveyor system after a thorough visual inspection. The beverage is
then filled into glass containers or virgin food grade PET bottles using a high-speed automated
filling machine. The entire filling operation is fully automated and untouched by human hands.

The bottles are finally capped/crowned, date coded and packed into crates/cartons to
make them available to our consumers.

The complete manufacturing process has a well defined and structured Quality Control
and Assurance Program. All the manufacturing facilities employ qualified, experienced and
trained professionals for manufacturing and testing of our products.

All the bottling facilities follow the Good Manufacturing Practices requirements as
applicable to the food industry. All manufacturing equipment fulfills the stringent requirements of
GMP and sanitary design.

The entire quality management system of each plant is documented, managed and
continually improved through a world-wide accepted system of TCCQS (The Coca-Cola Quality
System).

BEVERAGE INDUSTRY IN INDIA: A BRIEF INSIGHT
In India, beverages form an important part of the lives of people. It is an industry, in which the
players constantly innovate, in order to come up with better products to gain more consumers
and satisfy the existing consumers.

BEVERAGES

Alcoholic Non-Alcoholic

Carbonated Non-Carbonated

Cola Non-Cola Non-Cola

The beverage industry is vast and there various ways of segmenting it, so as to cater the
right product to the right person. The different ways of segmenting it are as follows:

 Alcoholic, non-alcoholic and sports beverages

 Natural and Synthetic beverages

 In-home consumption and out of home on premises consumptions.

 Age wise segmentation i.e. beverages for kids, for adults and for senior citizens

 Segmentation based on the amount of consumption i.e. high levels of consumption and
low levels of consumption.

If the behavioral patterns of consumers in India are closely noticed, it could be observed
that consumers perceive beverages in two different ways i.e. beverages are a luxury and that
beverages have to be consumed occasionally. These two perceptions are the biggest challenges
faced by the beverage industry. In order to leverage the beverage industry, it is important to

9
address this issue so as to encourage regular consumption as well as and to make the industry
more affordable.

Four strong strategic elements to increase consumption of the products of the beverage
industry in India are:

 The quality and the consistency of beverages needs to be enhanced so that consumers
are satisfied and they enjoy consuming beverages.

 The credibility and trust needs to be built so that there is a very strong and safe feeling
that the consumers have while consuming the beverages.

 Consumer education is a must to bring out benefits of beverage consumption whether in


terms of health, taste, relaxation, stimulation, refreshment, well-being or prestige relevant
to the category.

 Communication should be relevant and trendy so that consumers are able to find an
appeal to go out, purchase and consume.

The beverage market has still to achieve greater penetration and also a wider spread of
distribution. It is important to look at the entire beverage market, as a big opportunity, for brand
and sales growth in turn to add up to the overall growth of the food and beverage industry in the
economy.

HISTORY OF COCA COLA
The first Coca-Cola recipe was invented in Columbus, Georgia at a drugstore by
John Stith Pemberton, originally as a cocawine called Pemberton's French Wine Coca
in 1885. He may have been inspired by the formidable success of European Angelo
Mariani's cocawine, Vin Mariani.

In 1886, when Atlanta and Fulton County passed prohibition legislation,


Pemberton responded by developing Coca-Cola, essentially a carbonated, non-
alcoholic version of French Wine Cola.

The first sales were at Jacob's Pharmacy in AtlantaGeorgia, on May 8, 1886. It


was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at soda fountains, which
were popular in the United States at the time due to the belief that carbonated water
was good for the health. Pemberton claimed Coca-Cola cured many diseases, including
morphine addiction, dyspepsia, neurasthenia, headache, and impotence. Pemberton
ran the first advertisement for the beverage on May 29 of the same year in the Atlanta
Journal. For the first eight months only nine drinks were sold each day.

By 1888, three versions of Coca-Cola — sold by three separate businesses —


were on the market. Asa Griggs Candler acquired a stake in Pemberton's company in
1887 and incorporated it as the Coca Cola Company in 1888. The same year, while
suffering from an ongoing addiction to morphine, Pemberton sold the rights a second
time to four more businessmen: J.C. Mayfield, A.O. Murphey, C.O. Mullahy and E.H.
Bloodworth. Meanwhile, Pemberton's alcoholic son Charley Pemberton began selling
his own version of the product.

Coke concentrate, or Coke syrup, was and is sold separately at pharmacies in small
quantities, as an over-the-counter remedy for nausea or mildly upset stomach.

NEW COKE

On April 23, 1985, Coca-Cola, amid much publicity, attempted to change the
formula of the drink with "New Coke." Follow-up taste tests revealed that most
consumers preferred the taste of New Coke to both Coke and Pepsi. Coca-Cola
management was unprepared, however, for the nostalgic sentiments the drink aroused
in the American public. The new Coca-Cola formula caused a public backlash. Protests
caused the company to return to the old formula under the name Coca-Cola Classic on
July 10, 1985.

21ST CENTURY

On February 7, 2005, the Coca-Cola Company announced that in the second


quarter of 2005 they planned a launch of a Diet Coke product sweetened with the
artificial sweetener sucralose ("Splenda"), the same sweetener currently used in Pepsi

11
One. On March 21, 2005, it announced another diet product, "Coca-Cola Zero",
sweetened partly with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium. Recently Coca-
Cola has begun to sell a new "healthy soda" Diet Coke with Vitamins B6, B12,
Magnesium, Niacin, and Zinc, marketed as "Diet Coke Plus".

On July 05, 2005, it was revealed that Coca-Cola would resume operations in
Iraq for the first time since the Arab League boycotted the company in 1968.

In April 2007, in Canada, the name "Coca-Cola Classic" was changed back to
"Coca-Cola". The word "Classic" was truncated because "New Coke" was no longer in
production, eliminating the need to differentiate between the two. The formula remained
unchanged.

USE OF STIMULANTS IN FORMULA

When launched Coca Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine (benzoylmethyl
ecgonine) and caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine
from kola nuts - Coca-Cola (the 'K' in Kola was replaced with a C for marketing
purposes).

COCA – COCAINE
Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant
dose, whereas, in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from
Pemberton's original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca Cola did once contain
an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed. Coca
Cola still contains coca flavouring.

After 1904, Coca Cola started using, instead of fresh leaves, "spent" leaves - the
leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a
molecular level. To this day, Coca Cola uses as an ingredient a cocaine free coca leaf
extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.

In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized
by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant. Stepan laboratory in
Maywood, New Jersey, is the nation's only legal commercial importer of coca leaves,
which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the
coca flavouring agent for Coca Cola, Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca
leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri pharmaceutical manufacturer
that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal
use. N.J. Stepan buys about 100 metric tons of dried Peruvian coca leaves each year,
said Marco Castillo, spokesman for Peru's state-owned National Coca Co.

12
KOLA NUTS – CAFFEINE

Kola nuts act as a flavouring in Coca Cola, but is also the beverage's source of
caffeine. In Britain, for example, the ingredient label states "Flavourings (Including
Caffeine)". Kola nuts contains about 2 to 3.5 percent caffeine, is of bitter flavour and is
commonly used in cola soft drinks. In 1911 The US government initiated United States
v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola, hoping to force Coca Cola to remove
caffeine from its formula. The case was decided in favour of Coca Cola. Subsequently,
in 1912 the US Pure Food and Drug Act was amended, adding caffeine to the list of
"habit-forming" and "deleterious" substances which must be listed on a product's label.

Coca Cola contains 34 mg/12 fl oz of caffeine, while Diet Coke Caffeine-Free


contains 0 mg. Caffeine may be used by athletes as ergogenic aid - to increasing the
capacity for mental or physical labor. The ergogenic qualities of caffeine are contested,
although there is strong evidence that it may significantly enhance endurance
performance. For this reason, caffeine is listed as a restricted substance by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC). Nevertheless Coca Cola was the leading
sponsor of the 1996 summer Olympic games.

PRODUCTION

Bottles of Coca-Cola Zero and Coca-Cola Light

FORMULA

The exact formula of Coca-Cola is a famous trade secret. The original copy of
the formula is held in SunTrust Bank's main vault in Atlanta. Its predecessor, the Trust
Company, was the underwriter for the Coca-Cola Company's initial public offering in
1919. A popular myth states that only two executives have access to the formula, with
each executive having only half the formula. The truth is that while Coca-Cola does
have a rule restricting access to only two executives, each knows the entire formula and
others, in addition to the prescribed duo, have known the formulation process.

13
FRANCHISED PRODUCTION MODEL

The actual production and distribution of Coca-Cola follows a


franchising model. The Coca-Cola Company only produces a syrup
concentrate, which it sells to various bottlers throughout the world
who hold Coca-Cola franchises for one or more geographical
areas. The bottlers produce the final drink by mixing the syrup with
filtered water and sugar (or artificial sweeteners) and then
carbonate it before filling it into cans and bottles, which the bottlers
then sell and distribute to retail stores, vending machines,
restaurants and food service distributors.

The Coca-Cola Company owns minority shares in some of


its largest franchises, like Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola
Amatil, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC) and Coca-
Cola FEMSA, but fully independent bottlers produce almost half of the volume sold in
the world. Since independent bottlers add sugar and sweeteners, the sweetness of the
drink differs in various parts of the world, to cater for local tastes.

BOTTLE AND LOGO DESIGN

The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton's bookkeeper,


Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885. It was Robinson who came up with the name, and he
also chose the logo’s distinctive cursive script. The typeface used, known as
Spencerian script, was developed in the mid 19th century and was the dominant form of
formal handwriting in the United States during that period.

Earl R.Dean's original 1915 concept drawing of the contour


Coca-Cola bottle

Dean reduced the middle diameter...and the famous Contour


Coca-Cola Bottle was born.

The prototype never made it to production since its


middle diameter was larger than its base. This would make it unstable on conveyor
belts.

Chapman The equally famous Coca-Cola bottle, called the "contour bottle" within
the company, but known to some as the "hobble skirt" bottle, was created in 1915 by
bottle designer, Earl R. Dean. In 1915, the Coca-Cola Company launched a competition

14
among its bottle suppliers to create a new bottle for the beverage that would distinguish
it from other beverage bottles... "a bottle which a person could recognize even if they
felt it in the dark, and so shaped that, even if broken, a person could tell at a glance
what it was". J. Root, president of the Root Glass Company, turned the project over to
members of his supervisory staff including company auditor T. Clyde Edwards, plant
superintendent Alexander Samuelsson and Earl R. Dean, bottle designer and
supervisor of the bottle molding room.

Root and his subordinates decided to base the bottle’s design


on one of the soda’s two ingredients, the coca leaf or the cola nut, but
were unaware of what either ingredient looked like. Dean and
Edwards went to the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library and were
unable to find any information about coca or cola. Instead they were
inspired by a picture of the gourd-shaped cocoa pod in the
encyclopædiaBritannica which Chapman Root approved as the model
for the prototype.

Faced with the upcoming scheduled maintenance of the mold-


making machinery, over the next 24 hours Dean sketched out and
created the mold for the bottle. Dean then molded a small number of
bottles before the glass-molding machinery was turned off.

Chapman Root approved the prototype bottle and a design


patent was issued on the bottle in November, 1915. The bottle was chosen over other
entries at the bottler’s convention in 1916 and was on the market the same year. By
1920, Dean’s contoured bottle became the standard for the Coca-Cola Company.
Today, the contour Coca-Cola bottle is one of the most recognized packages on the
planet..."even in the dark!"

Although endorsed by some, this version of events is not considered authoritative


by many who cite its implausibility as difficult to believe. One alternative depiction has
Raymond Loewy as the inventor of the unique design, but although Loewy did serve as
a designer of Coke cans and bottles in later years, he was in the French Army in the
year the bottle was invented and did not migrate to the United States until 1919. Others
have attributed inspiration for the design not to the cacao pod, but to a Victorian hooped
dress.

In 1997, Coca-Cola also introduced a "contour can", similar in shape to their


famous bottle, on a few test markets, including Terre Haute, Indiana. This new can was
however never widely released.

A new slim and tall can has begun to appear in Australia as of December 20,
2006, which costs an average of $2AUD. The cans have a distinct resemblance to
energy drinks that are popular with the teenage demographic. It is unknown if this
design is of limited edition or may soon replace the current 355 ml cans that have been

15
used in the past (the new slim cans are 300 ml, making the volume to cost ratio even
smaller).

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
HISTORY OF UDAIPUR BEVERAGES LIMITED [UBL]

Coca-Cola was the leading soft drink brand in India until 1977, when it left rather
than reveals its formula to the Government and reduces its equity stake as required
under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) which governed the operations of
foreign companies in India. Coca-Cola re-entered the Indian market on 26th October
1993 after a gap of 16 years, with its launch in Agra. An agreement with the Parle
Group gave the Company instant ownership of the top soft drink brands of the nation.
With access to 53 of Parle’s plants and a well set bottling network, an excellent base for
rapid introduction of the Company’s International brands was formed. The Coca-Cola
Company acquired soft drink brands like Thumps Up, Goldspot, Limca, Maaza, which
were floated by Parle, as these products had achieved a strong consumer base and
formed a strong brand image in Indian market during the re-entry of Coca-Cola in
1993.Thus these products became a part of range of products of the Coca-Cola
Company.

FUNDS FLOW STATEMENT

Meaning of Funds Flow Statement:

Funds flow statement is a statement which discloses the analytical information about the
different sources of a fund and the application of the same in an accounting cycle. It deals with
the transactions which change either the amount of current assets and current liabilities (in the
form of decrease or increase in working capital) or fixed assets, long-term loans including
ownership fund.
It gives a clear picture about the movement of funds between the opening and closing dates of
the Balance Sheet. It is also called the Statement of Sources and Applications of Funds,
Movement of Funds Statement; Where Got—Where Gone Statement: Inflow and Outflow of
Fund Statement, etc. No doubt, Funds Flow Statement is an important indicator of financial
analysis and control. It is valuable and also helps to determine how the funds are financed. The
financial analyst can evaluate the future flows of a firm on the basis of past data.
This statement supplies an efficient method for the financial manager in order to assess
the:
(a) Growth of the firm,
(b) Its resulting financial needs, and
(c) To determine the best way to finance those needs

19
OBJECTIVE OF PREPARING A FUND FLOW
STATEMENT

The main purpose of preparing a Funds Flow Statement is that it reveals clearly the important
items relating to sources and applications of funds of fixed assets, long-term loans including
capital. It also informs how far the assets derived from normal activities of business are being
utilized properly with adequate consideration.
Secondly, it also reveals how much out of the total funds is being collected by disposing of fixed
assets, how much from issuing shares or debentures, how much from long-term or short-term
loans, and how much from normal operational activities of the business.
Thirdly, it also provides the information about the specific utilization of such funds, i.e. how
much has been applied for acquiring fixed assets, how much for repayment of long-term or short-
term loans as well as for payment of tax and dividend etc.
Lastly, it helps the management to prepare budgets and formulate the policies that will be
adopted for future operational activities.

Significance and Importance of Funds Flow Statement:


Since traditional reports (i.e. Income Statement/Profit and Loss Account, and Balance Sheet) are
not very informative, a financial analyst has to depend on some other report—Funds Flow
Statement. In other words, along with the traditional sources of information, some other sources
of information are absolutely required in order to take the challenge offered by modern business.
Funds Flow Statement, no doubt, caters to the needs of management. This is because a Funds
Flow Statement not only presents the Balance Sheet values for consecutive two years, it also
ascertains the changes of working capital—which is a very important indicator.
It not only reveals the source from which additional working capital has been financed but also,
at the same time, the use of such funds. Moreover, from a projected funds flow statement the
management can easily ascertain the adequacy or inadequacy of working capital, i.e., it helps in
decision-making in a number of ways.

Statement of changes in working capital


The different between current assets and current liabilities is called net working capital. In other
words, working capital is the excess current assets over the current liabilities. Current assets are
those assets which can be converted into cash within short time period (generally one year)
without any adverse effect in their value. The examples of current assets are cash in hand, bank
balance, prepaid expenses, accrued income, bills receivable, marketable securities, debtors,
short-term investment, inventories/ stock and other short term assets.  
Similarly, current liabilities are those outsiders' obligation which must be repaid within short
notice and includes creditors, bills payable, advance incomes, bank overdraft, outstanding
expenses, short-term loan and other short term liabilities. On the basis o current assets and
current liabilities reported on two balance sheets, the change in net working capital is determined
as bellows:

20
Net working capital = current assets - current liabilities
 
The changes in the amount of any current asset or current liability in the current year's balance
sheet as compared to previous year's balance sheet result either increase or decrease in net
working capital. The rule for identifying such increase or decrease is as below:
Increase in current asset – increase in working capital.
Decrease in current asset – decrease in working capital.
Increase in current liability - decrease in working capital.
Decrease in current liability – increase in working capital.

Funds Flow Statement: Advantages and Limitations


The funds flow statement has a number of uses, however, it has certain
limitations also, which are listed below:

1. It should be remembered that a funds flow statement is not a substitute of an income


statement or a balance sheet. It provides only some additional information as regards
changes in working capital.
2. It cannot reveal continuous changes.
3. It is not an original statement but simply are-arrangement of data given in the financial
statements.
4. It is essentially historic in nature and projected funds flow statement cannot be prepared
with much accuracy.
5. Changes-in .cash-are more important and relevant for financial management than the
working capital.

FINDINGS

The current assets for the month of April 2010. Comes out to be Rs. 318.53
lakhs, and the current liability is Rs. 256.65 lakhs, therefore after subtracting current
assets from current liability we get the working capital of Rs. 61.88 lakhs for the month
of April.

The current ratio comes out to be 1.24:1, which is slight low to the optimum of
2:1; therefore the firm may have difficulty in meeting the current obligations, but will not
affect the firm on the high scale.

The acid test ratio is ascertained as 1.20:1, which is close to the optimum of
1.33:1. This indicates that the firm is able to meet its short term obligations without
relying upon realization of stock.

The debtor’s turnover ratio is 1, which determines the efficiency with which the
trade debtors are managed. This ratio is computed by dividing net credit sales by
average trade debtor.

The creditor turnover ratio is 1.55, which determines the efficiency with which
creditors are managed. This ratio is calculated by dividing net credit purchase by
average trade creditors.
