INTRODUCTION TO STUDY
1.1. INTRODUCTION TO TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Indian Textile Industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Though was
predominantly unorganized industry even a few years back, but the scenario started changing
after the economic liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. The opening up of economy gave
the much-needed thrust to the Indian textile industry, which has now successfully become one of
the largest in the world.
India textile industry largely depends upon the textile manufacturing and export. It also
plays a major role in the economy of the country. India earns about 27% of its total foreign
exchange through textile exports. Further, the textile industry of India also contributes nearly
14% of the total industrial production of the country. It also contributes around 3% to the GDP of
the country. India textile industry is also the largest in the country in terms of employment
generation. It not only generates jobs in its own industry, but also opens up scopes for the other
ancillary sectors. India textile industry currently generates employment to more than 35 million
people. It is also estimated that, the industry will generate 12 million new jobs by the year 2010.
Indian textile industry can be divided into several segments, some of which can be listed
as below:
• Cotton Textiles
• Silk Textiles
• Woolen Textiles
• Readymade Garments
• Hand-crafted Textiles
• Jute and Coir
India textile industry is one of the leading in the world. Currently it is estimated to be
around US$ 52 billion and is also projected to be around US$ 115 billion by the year 2012. The
current domestic market of textile in India is expected to be increased to US$ 60 billion by 2012
from the current US$ 34.6 billion. The textile export of the country was around US$ 19.14
billion in 2006-07, which saw a stiff rise to reach US$ 22.13 in 2007-08. The share of exports is
also expected to increase from 4% to 7% within 2012. Following are area, production and
productivity of cotton in India during the last six decades.

1.2. CO-OPERATIVE SECTOR IN KERALA
The Co-operative sector has been playing a distinct and significant role in the process of socio-
economic development of the state with special focus on rural population and livelihood. The co-
operative movement in Kerala has a solid foundation and impressive track record in terms of
financial stability and sound infrastructure to generate adequate funds. There are 12996 co-
operatives under the control of Registrar of Co-operative Societies, of which 10236 are
functional in the various promotional activities in the sector. The strategy adopted for the
development of Co-operative sector during Xth Plan was expansion and diversification of
commercial ventures. The spread and growth of co-operatives in different sectors were nurtured
under development plans with Government initiative and Government finance.
Through sustained efforts, co-operatives have made impressive progress in various segments of
Indian economy particularly in agriculture credit disbursement, fertilizer distribution,
procurement and distribution of agricultural commodities, promotion of consumer activities,
health, dairy, fisheries, handloom, coir etc.
The Malappuram Co-operative Spinning Mill Ltd are producing and selling various kinds of
textiles products and it is registered under the kerala co-operative Act. 1969.
1.3. METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is the systematic way of solving the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. So while we discussing
about the research methodology we discuss not only the research methods but also we consider
the logic behind the method that we used in the context of our research study and explanation
why we are not using other so that research results are being capable of evaluating the researcher
himself or by others.

2.1. COMPANY PROFILE
The Malappuram Co-operative spinning mill Ltd, also called MALCO LTD was registered on 28th
October 1975 as a co-operative society under the Kerala co-operative societies Act 210 F 1969. But
production started in 1980with 5104 spindles. The objective is 20056 spindles that get only in 1984. Mill
installed capacity of 20056 spindles from the manufacturing of cotton and synthetic yarn.
The project was completed with the total investment of Rs.50024 lakh including Rs. 247 lakh as financial
assets from IDBI, IFCI, and ICICI. The mill was not able to perform on envisaged and was incurring
continues cash losses, which resulted in the erosion of capital from the very beginning. The mill was
unable to repay the institutional dues amounting to Rs. 243.75 lakhs and interest accrued thereon. The
continues cash losses incurred during the entire period resulted in erosion of working capital during the
year 1988. The mill was faced to stop functioning (from 19-05-1988).
The mill functions with the capacity utilization of 68%. The reason for the low capacity utilization was
the low voltage problem during the peak hours which accounts for a loss of about 17% of the
commissioned capacity. In order to solve this problem, the mill has to purchase the generation set. By
commissioning three generator sets of 590 KVA each the mill will be able to achieve more the 85%
capacity utilization. This result improved productivity in account of uninterrupted power supply and will
enable the mill to become finally viable. Survival of the industry in the competitive environment depends
on quality and productivity of the men and machine therefore in order to improve the quality of yarn and
the productivity on the machine, the mill purpose to implement modernization scheme with assistance
from the Kerala Industrial Revilisation Fund(KIRF).

3.1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
Financial statement analysis is defined as the process of identifying financial strengths and
weaknesses of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the items of the balance
sheet and the profit and loss account.
There are various methods or techniques that are used in analyzing financial statements, such as
comparative statements, schedule of changes in working capital, common size percentages, funds
analysis, trend analysis, and ratios analysis.
Financial statements are prepared to meet external reporting obligations and also for decision
making purposes. They play a dominant role in setting the framework of managerial decisions.
But the information provided in the financial statements is not an end in itself as no meaningful
conclusions can be drawn from these statements alone. However, the information provided in the
financial statements is of immense use in making decisions through analysis and interpretation of
financial statements.
Financial analysis is helpful in assessing the financial position and profitability of the concern.
This is done through comparison by ratios for the same concern over a period of years; or for one
concern against another; or for one concern against the industry as a whole (inter-firm
comparison); or for one concern against predetermined a standards; or for one department of a
concern against other departments of the same concern (intra-firm comparison). Accounting
ratios calculated for a number of years show the trend of the change of position, i.e. whether the
trend is upward or downward or static.
The main objectives of the analysis of financial statements are to assess:
o The present and future earning capacity or profitability of the concern,
o The operational efficiency of the concern as a whole and of its various parts or
departments,
o The short term and long term solvency of the concern for the benefit of the debenture
holders and trade creditors,
- - 19 -
o The comparative study in regard to one firm with another firm or one department with
another department,
o The possibility of developments in the future by making forecast and preparing budgets.
o The financial stability of a business concern,
o The real meaning and significance of the financial data, and
o The long term liquidity of its funds.
In addition to the analysis, interpretation also requires comparison to draw meaningful results.
Mere examination of the various components of financial statements like current assets, current
liabilities, long term liabilities, share holders’ fund, working capital, gross profit, operating
profit, cost of goods sold etc. will not lead to definite conclusion in regard to the financial status
of a business. Comparison of related components like current assets with current liabilities, long
term liabilities with shareholders fund, gross profit with sales etc. is requires to draw meaning
full conclusions about the position of a company. Therefore, to interpret the position of a
company, it is necessary not only to separate the totals given in its financial statements in to
various components of like nature but also to make comparison of related components. In
addition to this comparison of various components with that of previous year analysis should be
made to know the changes that have taken place in the business over several years.
The following techniques can be used in connection with the analysis and interpretation of
financial statements:
- - 20 -
These statements are prepared in a way so as to provide time prospective to the consideration of
various elements of financial position embodied in such statements. This is done to make the
financial data more meaningful. The statement of two or more years are prepared to show
absolute data of two or more years, increases or decreases in absolute data in value and in terms
of percentages. Comparative statement can be prepared for income statement as well as position
statement or balance sheet.
Common size financial statements are those in which figures reported are converted to some
common base. Vertical analysis is requires for an interpretation of underlying causes of changes
over a period of time. For this, items in the financial statements are presented as percentages or
ratios to total of the items and a common base for comparison is provided. Hence vertical
analysis becomes possible. Each percentage shows the relation of the individual item to its
respective total. Common size statements may be used for Balance sheet as well as income
statement.
This analysis is an important tool of horizontal financial analysis. This analysis enables to know
the changes in the financial function and operating efficiency between the time period chosen.
By studying the trend of each item, one can know the direction of changes and based upon the
direction of changes, the opinions can be formed. This method is immensely helpful in making a
comparative study of financial statements of several years.
Net working Capital Analysis:
This statement is prepared to know the net changes in working capital of the business between
two specified dates. It is prepared from current assets and current liabilities of the said dates to
show the net increase or decrease in working capital.
Ratio Analysis:
It is done to develop meaningful relationship between individual items or group of items usually
shown in the periodical financial statements published by the concern. An accounting ratio is the
- - 21 -
relationship between two inter-related accounting figures as gross profit to sales, current assets to
current liabilities etc.
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability ratios measure the results of business operations or overall performance and
effectiveness of the firm. Some of the most popular profitability ratios are as under:
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity ratios measure the short term solvency of financial position of a firm. These ratios are
calculated to comment upon the short term paying capacity of a concern or the firm's ability to
meet its current obligations. Following are the most important liquidity ratios.
• Current ratio
• Liquid / Acid test / Quick ratio
Activity Ratios:
Activity ratios are calculated to measure the efficiency with which the resources of a firm have
been employed. These ratios are also called turnover ratios because they indicate the speed with
which assets are being turned over into sales. Following are the most important activity ratios:
- - 22 -
• Inventory / Stock turnover ratio
• Debtors / Receivables turnover ratio
• Average collection period
• Creditors / Payable turnover ratio
• Working capital turnover ratio
• Fixed assets turnover ratio
• Over and under trading
Long term solvency or leverage ratios convey a firm's ability to meet the interest costs and
payment schedules of its long term obligations. Following are some of the most important long
term solvency or leverage ratios.
• Debt-to-equity ratio
Cash management is a broad term that refers to the collection, concentration, and disbursement
of cash. It encompasses a company's level of liquidity, its management of cash balance, and its
short-term investment strategies. In some ways, managing cash flow is the most important job of
business managers. If at any time a company fails to pay an obligation when it is due because of
the lack of cash, the company is insolvent. Insolvency is the primary reason firms go bankrupt.
Obviously, the prospect of such a dire consequence should compel companies to manage their
cash with care. Moreover, efficient cash management means more than just preventing
bankruptcy. It improves the profitability and reduces the risk to which the firm is exposed.
Cash management is particularly important for new and growing businesses. As Jeffrey P.
Davidson and Charles W. Dean indicated in their book Cash Traps, cash flow can be a problem
- - 23 -
even when a small business has numerous clients, offers a superior product to its customers, and
enjoys a sterling reputation in its industry. Companies suffering from cash flow problems have
no margin of safety in case of unanticipated expenses. They also may experience trouble in
finding the funds for innovation or expansion. Finally, poor cash flow makes it difficult to hire
and retain good employees.
It is only natural that major business expenses are incurred in the production of goods
or the provision of services. In most cases, a business incurs such expenses before the
corresponding payment is received from customers. In addition, employee salaries and other
expenses drain considerable funds from most businesses. These factors make effective cash
management an essential part of any business's financial planning. "Cash is the lifeblood of a
[store]," wrote Richard Outcalt and Patricia Johnson in Playthings. "Without cash for inventory,
payroll, and other expenses, an emergency is imminent."
When cash is received in exchange for products or services rendered, many small
business owners, intent on growing their company and tamping down debt, spend most or all of
these funds. But while such priorities are laudable, they should leave room for businesses to
absorb lean financial times down the line. The key to successful cash management, therefore, lies
in tabulating realistic projections, monitoring collections and disbursements, establishing
effective billing and collection measures, and adhering to budgetary rest
• Knowing when, where, and how your cash needs will occur,
• Knowing what the best sources are for meeting additional cash needs; and,
• Being prepared to meet these needs when they occur, by keeping good relationships with
bankers and other creditors.
The starting point for avoiding a cash crisis is to develop a cash flow projection. Smart
business owners know how to develop both short-term (weekly, monthly) cash flow projections
to help them manage daily cash, and long-term (annual, 3-5 year) cash flow projections to help
- - 24 -
them develop the necessary capital strategy to meet their business needs. They also prepare and
use historical cash flow statements to gain an understanding about where all the money went.
Firm needs cash to meet its routine expenses including wages, salary, taxes etc.
Following are main advantages of adequate cash-

4.1.RATIO ANALYSIS
CURRENT RATIO
:
It is the ratio of the current assets to current liabilities. It shows a firms’ ability to cover its
current liabilities with its current assets. Generally 2:1 is considered ideal for a concern.

INTREPRETATION:
While considering the current ratio, the five years ratio of the firm was below standard, i.e.
2:1. It means the liquidity position of the company is not good. So the company may not be able
to pay its current obligation in time without facing difficulties.
- - 27 -
QUICK RATIO
This is the ratio of the liquid assets to current (liquid) liabilities. It shows a firms’ ability
to meet current liabilities with its most liquid (quick) assets. 1:1 ratio is considered ideal ratio for
a concern. Liquid assets include cash balances, bill receivable, sundry debtors and short term
investment. Liquid liabilities include all items of current liabilities except bank overdraft. It is
calculated as under:

The quick ratio of the firm is also below standard. The ratio was lowest in 2007 and
2009. So, conclude that the firm may not able to pay off the current obligations immediately. The
liquidity position of the firm is unsatisfactory.
- - 28 -
ABSOLUTE LIQUID RATIO
Though receivables are generally more liquid than inventories, there may be debts
having doubt regarding their real stability in time. So to get idea about the absolute liquidity of a
concern, both receivables and inventories are excluded from current assets and only absolute
liquid assets, such as cash in hand, cash at bank and readily realizable securities are taken into
consideration. The desirable norm for this ratio is 1:2. it is calculated as follows:

INTREPRETATION:
The absolute liquid ratio of the firm in the last five years was comparatively very less
than the current and liquid ratios. They were far below the standard ratio 1:2. This ratio shows
that the absolute liquid asset of the firm is very less. The firm may not have enough cash / bank
balance or marketable securities
- - 29 -
DEBT EQUITY RATIO
It measures the extent of the equity covering the debt. This ratio is calculated to measure
the relative proportions of outsiders’ funds and shareholders’ funds invested in the company.
This ratio is determined to ascertain the soundness of the long term financial policies of the
company and is also known as external- internal equity ratio. It is calculated as follows:

YEAR
INTREPRETATION:
The debt equity ratio of the firm is showing a continuous increase from 0.77 in 2005 to
0.9 in 2009. It indicates the debt capital of the firm is increasing year by year. So the liability to
pay regular interest for this debt may also increase. The owners’ fund of the firm was decreased
every year, because of the debt equity ratio increased. Even though the debt equity ratio is
increasing the owners’ interest in the capital structure is greater than the outsiders. Thus the
financial position is still solvent.
- - 30 -
PROPREITARY RATIO
A variant of debt to equity ratio is the proprietary ratio which shows the relationship
between shareholders’ fund and total tangible assets. This ratio should be 1:3. it is worked out as

This ratio expresses the relationship between total assets and total liabilities of a
business. It measures the solvency of the business. It is calculated as follows:

INTREPRETATION:
The solvency ratio indicates the ability of the firm to pay the outside liabilities (both long
term and short term) out of total assets. Here the solvency ratio is less than the total liability. It
means that there is some much difficulty in paying off its outside liabilities out of the assets
because the assets are less than the current liabilities. So the firm is treated as not solvent.
- - 32 -
NET PROFIT RATIO
This ratio explains per rupee profit generating capacity of sales. If the cost of sales is
lower, then the net profit will be higher and then divide it with the net sales, the result is sales
efficiency. If lower is the net profit per rupee of sales, lower will be sales efficiency. This is very
useful to the proprietors and prospective investors because it reveals the over all profitability of
the concern. It is calculated as follows:

This ratio explains whether the firm has raised adequate long term funds to meet its fixed
assets requirements. This ratio gives an idea as to what part of the capital employed has been
used in purchasing the fixed assets for the concern. If the ratio is less than one it is good for the
concern. The ideal ratio is .67. It is calculated as under:

This ratio measures the efficiency of the assets use. The efficient use of assets will generate
greater sales per rupee invested in all the assets of a concern. The inefficient use of the asset will
result in low sales volume coupled with higher overhead charges and under utilization of the
available capacity. Hence the management must strive for using total resources at optimum level,
to achieve higher ROI. It is calculated as under:

RATIO OF INVENTORY TO WORKING CAPITAL
:
In order to ascertain that there is no over stocking, the ratio of inventory to working
capital should be calculated. Working capital is the excess of current assets over current
liabilities. Increase in volume of sales requires increase in size of inventory, but from a sound
financial point of view, inventory should not exceed amount of working capital. The desirable
ratio is 1:1. It is worked out as follows:

RATIO OF CASH TO CURRENT ASSETS
Cash to Current Assets ratio is useful for determining the proportion of cash within the current

capital that is made up of cash or investments that can be readily converted into cash. If the ratio
is low, it may be an indication that a company will have trouble meeting its short-term
commitments because of a lack of cash. If this were the case, the next formula to calculate would
be the number of expense coverage days to determine exactly how many days of operations can
be covered by existing cash levels.

CHAPTER 5
FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND
CONCLUSION
- - 55 -
5.1. FINDINGS
Net profit position of the company is not at all satisfactory. Firm is in loss for several
years. The low realization value from the sale of yarn is main reason for the losses
incurred by the firm. The cost of raw material is very high because around 63% of the
total sale value is consumed by the raw materials and also operating expense of the
company is high. The profitability of the firm greatly depend on external factors like
export trade, local market sales, supply of raw material etc.
The modernization activities of the mill are not yet completed. Therefore the mill is still
maintaining a big labour force.
The unfavorable market price of the products is the most important and crucial problem
faced by the mill. The price of the yarn is fixed on the basis of the general price level in
the yarn market. The mill has no influence in the determination of market price.
Unfortunately for the last few years, the market price of the yarn is not favorable to the
mill.
The Liquidity position of the company is not satisfactory. So the company may not be
able to pay off its current obligations in time without facing difficulties. And also the
working capital is not maintained properly. There was inadequate working capital in
some years. Working capital ratio is also not satisfactory. The amount of current assets
was greater than the fixed assets in last five years. It means that more funds were blocked
in current assets
The long term solvency position of the firm is satisfactory. The fixed assets to net worth
ratio indicate that the share holders fund was not fully sunk in to the fixed assets. The
equity may be utilized for some other purpose also. The study implies that a part of
working capital was also financed out of the long term funds of the firm.
The cash management of the firm is not satisfactory, because of the liquidity and
solvency position is below standard, i.e, during the current year the company has no
much liquid cash and marketable securities in time to meet the short term obligations.
The stock turn over ratio of the firm in all five years was above satisfactory level. The
firm has a very efficient debtor management.
- - 56 -
Finally, conclude that the financial as well as overall financial performance of the
company is not good.
5.2. SUGGESTION
Necessary steps have to be taken to make the working capital management more
effective.
The profitability of any business depends to a very extend on the capacity of business
to enhance sales. So effective marketing techniques have to be introduced.
Liquidity of the business should be properly maintained.
High price in production has a negative influence in profit earning of the business. So
it has to be reduced.
The efficient utilization of the raw materials will help to reduce the cost of raw
material and to increase the realization value from the sale of yarn. Also try to
minimize if there is any wastage of raw materials.
The complete modernization of the mill will help to improve the efficiency of the
firm and to reduce the labour force and thereby the labour costs.
Since it is a government company, the government authorities may give additional
financial assistance to the firm.
It is desirable for the firm to undertake necessary steps to reduce the operating
expenses.
The firm has to introduce new ways to reduce the cost of production and to increase
the efficiency and profitability.
If the firm switch over the present production procedure to automated technologies it
may increase the profitability. Because that may reduce the cost of production.
The company should purchase the raw materials in bulk quantities and keep
warehouse when it is available at low price.
The mill must take every steps to ensure a continues and regular supply of raw
materials so as to accelerate production.
The investment in inventories should be reduced by effectively controlling variation
in lead time and careful planning orderly schedules.
- - 57 -
Entrance of trade union should be restricted. To avoid this problem company can
make labour participation in the management.
