POWER SECTOR IN INDIA
The electricity sector in India is predominantly controlled by
the Government of India's public sector undertakings (PSUs). Major PSUs
involved in the generation of electricity include National Thermal Power
Corporation (NTPC), National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC)
and Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCI). Besides PSUs, several
state-level corporations, such as Maharashtra State Electricity
Board (MSEB), are also involved in the generation and intra-state
distribution of electricity. The Power Grid Corporation of India is
responsible for the inter-state transmission of electricity and the
development of national grid.
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 5
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
The Ministry of Power is the apex body responsible for the development of
electrical energy in India. This ministry started functioning independently
from 2 July 1992; earlier, it was known as The Ministry of Energy. The
Union Minister of Power at present is Sushil kumar Shinde of the Congress
Party, who took charge of the ministry on the 28th of May, 2009.
India is world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting for 3.4% of global
energy consumption. Due to India's economic rise, the demand for energy
has grown at an average of 3.6% per annum over the past 30 years. In
March 2009, the installed power generation capacity of India stood at
147,000 MW while the per capita power consumption stood at 612 kWH.
The country's annual power production increased from about 190 billion
kWH in 1986 to more than 680 billion kWH in 2006. The Indian government
has set an ambitious target to add approximately 78,000 MW of installed
generation capacity by 2012. The total demand for electricity in India is
expected to cross 950,000 MW by 2030.
About 75% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by thermal
power plants, 21% by hydroelectric power plants and 4% by nuclear power
plants. More than 50% of India's commercial energy demand is met through
the country's vast coal reserves. The country has also invested heavily in
recent years on renewable sources of energy such as wind energy. As of
2008, India's installed wind power generation capacity stood at 9,655
MW. Additionally, India has committed massive amount of funds for the
construction of various nuclear reactors which would generate at least
30,000 MW. In July 2009, India unveiled a $19 billion plan to produce
20,000 MW of solar power by 2020.
Electricity losses in India during transmission and distribution are
extremely high and vary between 30 to 45%. In 2004-05, electricity demand
outstripped supply by 7-11%. Due to shortage of electricity, power cuts are
common throughout India and this has adversely effected the country's
economic growth. Theft of electricity, common in most parts of urban India,
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 6
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
amounts to 1.5% of India's GDP. Despite an ambitious rural electrification
program, some 400 million Indians lose electricity access during
blackouts. While 80 percent of Indian villages have at least an electricity
line, just 44 percent of rural households have access to electricity.
According to a sample of 97,882 households in 2002, electricity was the
main source of lighting for 53% of rural households compared to 36% in
1993. Multi Commodity Exchange has sought permission to offer electricity
future markets.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Tehri Dam & Hydro Electric Project had initially been accorded
Investment Clearance by the Planning Commission in June, 1972 for
implementation by the Government of U.P., with an installed generating
capacity of 600 MW. The State Government commenced the construction of
the Project in 1978. Subsequently, in 1983, the proposed Installed Capacity
of the Project was increased by the State Government to 1000 MW.
In view of the shortage of funds for implementation of the Project in the
State sector, it was decided in Nov.,1986 to implement the Tehri project
as a Joint Venture of the Govt. of India and Govt. of U.P. through financial
and technical assistance from erstwhile USSR.
In Nov.,1986, an agreement on economic and technical co-operation
between the Govt. of India and Govt. of USSR was signed, which interallia
included execution of the 2400 MW Tehri Hydro Power Complex
comprising 1000 MW Tehri Dam & Hydro Power Plant, 400 MW
Koteshwar Dam & Hydro Power Plant and 1000 MW Tehri Pumped
Storage Plant. This agreement envisaged financing in the form of credit
amounting to 1000 million Rubles from USSR.
The Government had also approved seeking the technical and financial
assistance from the then USSR for implementing the Tehri Power Complex.
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 7
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
However, with the disintegration of USSR, the financial assistance
from USSR was not available.
ABOUT THE CORPORATION
THDC, a Joint Venture Corporation of the Govt. of India and Govt. of U.P.,
was incorporated as a Limited Company under the Companies Act, 1956, in
July’88, to develop, operate and maintain the Tehri Hydro Power Complex
and other Hydro Projects. The works were handed over to THDC in June
1989. The equity portion the Project is being shared by Govt. of India &
Govt. of U.P in the ratio of 75:25. The Corporation has an authorized share
capital of Rs.4000 cr.
The Government approved the implementation of Tehri Dam and HPP
Stage-I (1000 MW) in March, 1994, along with the essential works of
Pumped Storage Plant and committed works of Koteshwar HEP. Other
components of the Tehri Power Complex, viz., Koteshwar Project, and the
Pumped Storage Plant, were envisaged to be taken up at a later stage.
The Koteshwar HEP (400 MW) was approved for implementation by the
Government in April’2000. Investment approval has been accorded by the
Government in July’06 to the Tehri PSP(1000 MW), the first Pumped
Storage Scheme in the Central sector which would utilize the Tehri &
Koteshwar reservoirs as the requisite upstream & downstream reservoirs.
Govt. of India has accorded Investment Approval for execution of 444 MW
Vishnugad Pipalkoti Hydro Electric Project (VPHEP) on River Alaknanda
in Aug’ 2008.
Govt. of Uttarakhand has also entrusted Hydro Projects to THDC in
Bhagirathi, Alaknanda and Sarda Valleys in Uttarakhand, totaling to 760
MW.
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 8
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Govt. of Uttarakhand has accorded In-principle approval to allot Kishau
Multi Purpose Project (600 MW) on river Tons, a tributary of Yamuna. Govt.
of India has given approval for updation of DPR of the Project by THDC.
THDC has entered into an MOU with Nuclear Power Corporation of India
Ltd. (NPCIL) to synergize strengths and competencies for development of
Hydro Power Projects including Pumped Storage Schemes in the country.
Govt. of Maharashtra has allotted 2 PSPs namely Malshej Ghat (600 MW) &
Humbarli (400MW) to the Joint Venture of THDC and NPCIL for updation of
DPR and subsequent implementation subject to commercial viability.
Under India-Bhutan Co-operation in hydro Sector development , MOP has
allotted two Projects namely Sankosh Multi Purpose Project (4060 MW) and
Bunakha HEP (180 MW) in Bhutan for updation of DPR, and subsequent
implementation on Intergovernmental Authority Model / JV with Bhutanese
PSUs. The work of updation of DPRs has been taken up.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS
RATIO ANALYSIS
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 10
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Meaning and Definition of 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 statements so that the
strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as its historical performance and
current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio refers to the
numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables.
Ratio analysis is a very powerful analytical tool for measuring
performance of an organization. The ratio analysis concentrates on the
inter – relationship among the figures appearing in the aforementioned
four financial statement s. the ratio analysis helps the management to
analyze the past performance of the firm . The ratio analysis allow
interested parties like shareholders, investors, creditors , government and
analysts to make an evaluation of certain aspects of a firm’s
performance.
Significance or Importance of Ratio Analysis
It helps in evaluating the firm’s performance. With the help of ratio
analysis conclusion can be drawn regarding several aspects such as
financial health, profitability and operational efficiency of the
undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the firm i.e.
whether the management has utilized the firm's assets correctly, to
increase the investor's wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners
and secures optimum utilization of firm’s assets.
It helps in inter-firm comparison. Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm
comparison by providing necessary data. An inter firm comparison
indicates relative position. It provides the relevant data for the
comparison of the performance of different departments. If
comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of variations may
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 11
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
be identified and if results are negative, the action may be initiated
immediately to bring them in line.
It simplifies financial statement. Yet another dimension of usefulness
or ratio analysis, relevant from the View point of management is that
it throws light on the degree efficiency in the various activity ratios
measures this kind of operational efficiency.
Limitations
Ratios are calculated from the financial statements which are affected
by the financial bases and policies on such matters as depreciation
and the valuation of stock
.
Financial statements do not represent a complete picture of the
business, but merely a collection of fact which can be expressed in
monetary terms. These may not refer to both factors which affect
performance.
Over use of ratios as controls on managers could be dangerous, in
that management might concentrate more on simply improving the
ratio than on dealing with the significant issues.
A ratio is a comparison of two figures, a numerator and a
denominator. In comparing ratios it may be difficult to determine
whether differences are due to changes in the numerator, or in the
denominator or in both.
Ratios are inter-connected. They should not be treated in isolation.
The effective use of ratios, therefore, depends on being aware of all
these limitations and ensuring that, following comparative analysis,
they are used to trigger point for investigation and corrective action
rather than being treated as meaningful in them selves.
The analysis of ratios clarifies trends and weaknesses in performance
as a guide to action as long as proper comparisons are made and the
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 12
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
reasons for adverse trends or deviations from the norms are
investigated thoroughly.
Classification of Ratios
Different ratios are used for different purposes; these ratios can be grouped
into various classes according to the financial activity. Ratios are classified
into four broad categories:
Liquidity Ratio
Leverage Ratio
Profitability Ratio
Activity Ratio
Liquidity Ratio:
Liquidity ratio measures the firms ability to meet its current obligations i.e.
ability to pay its obligations and when they become due. Commonly used
ratios are:
(1) Current Ratio
(2) Acid Test Ratio or Quick Ratio
(1) Current Ratio:
Current ratio is the ratio, which express relationship between current asset
and current liabilities. Current asset are those which can be converted into
cash within a short period of time, normally not exceeding one year. The
current liabilities which are short- term and are maturing to be met.
Current Ratio = Current Asset ÷Current liabilities
(2) Acid Test Ratio or Quick Ratio:
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 13
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
The acid test ratio is a measure of liquidity designed to overcome the defect
of current ratio. It is often referred to as quick ratio because it is a
measurement of firm's ability to convert its current assets quickly into cash
in order to meet its current liabilities.
Acid Test Ratio = (Current Asset – Inventories) ÷ Current liabilities
Leverage or Capital Structure Ratio:
Leverage or capital structure ratios are the ratios which indicate the
relative interest of the owners and the creditors in an enterprise. These
ratios indicate the funds provided by the long-term creditors and owners. To
judge the long term financial position of the firm following ratios are
applied.
(1) Debt - Equity Ratio
(2) Total Debt Ratio
(1) Debt - Equity Ratio:
Debt-equity ratio which expresses the relationship between debt and equity.
This ratio explains how far owned funds are sufficient to pay outside
liabilities. It is calculated by following formula:
Debt Equity Ratio = (Long Term + Short Term Debts + Current
Liabilities) ÷ Net Worth
(2) Total Debt Ratio:
This ratio explains how far owned and borrowed funds are sufficient to pay
debt of a Firm.
Total Debt Ratio = (Long Term + Short Term Borrowing + Current
Liabilities) ÷ Capital employed
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 14
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratio are the best indicators of overall efficiency of the business
concern, because they compare return of value over and above the value
put into business with sales or service carried on by the firm with the help
of assets employed. Profitability ratio can be determined on the basis of:
1. Sales
2. Investment
(i) Profitability Ratios Related to Sales:
(ii) Gross Profit to Sales Ratio
(iii) Net Profit to Sales Ratio or Net Profit of Margin.
(i) Gross Profit to Sales Ratio
The gross profit to sales ratio establishes relationship between gross profit
and sales to measure the relative operating efficiency of the firm to reflect
pricing policy.
Gross Profit to Sales Ratio = (Sales - Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Sale
* 100
(iii) Net Profit Margin
The net margin indicates the management's ability to earn sufficient profit
on sales to earn sufficient profit on sales not only to cover all revenue
operating expenses of the business, the cost of borrowed funds and the cost
of goods or servicing, but also to have sufficient margin to pay reasonable
comparison to shareholders on their contributions to the firm.
Net Profit Margin = Net profit after tax and interest * 100
Sales
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 15
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Profitability Ratios Related to Investments:
Return on Assets
Return on Capital Employed
Return on Assets:
The profitability ratio here measures the relationship between net profit and
assets.
Return on Assets = Net Profit after ÷ Tax Fixed Assets
Return on Capital Employed:
Return on Capital Employed = Net Profit after Taxes ÷ Total
Capital Employed
Activity Ratios or Efficiency Ratios:
Activity ratio are sometimes are called efficiency ratios. Activity ratios are
concerned with how efficiently the assets of the firm are managed. These
ratios express relationship between level of sales and the investment in
various assets inventories, receivables, fixed assets etc.
The important activity ratios are as follows:
(1) Inventory Turnover Ratio
(2) Debt Turnover Ratio
(3) Average Collection Period Ratio
(1) Inventory Turnover Ratio:
Inventory Turnover Ratio = Raw Materials Consumed ÷ Average
Stock of Raw Materials
(2) Debt Turnover Ratio:
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 16
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
This ratio shows how quickly the debtors are converted into cash
Debt Turnover Ratio = Total Sales ÷ Debtors
(3) Average Collection Period Ratio
This ratio indicates how quickly the inventory is converted into cash.
Average Collection Period Ratio = Days in a Year ÷ Debtors Turnover
Parties Interested In Ratio Analysis
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are interested in firm's ability to meet their claims over a
very short period of time. Their analysis will, there fore confine to the
evaluation of the firm's liquidity positions.
Suppliers of long-term debt
Suppliers of long-term debt on the other hand are concerned with firm's
long-term solvency and survival. They analysis the firms profitability over
time, its ability to generate cash to be able to pay interest and repay
interest and repay principal and the relationship between various source of
funds. (Capital structure relationship).
Long-term creditors do analyses the historical financial statements but they
place more emphasis on the firm's projected financial statement to make
analysis about its future solvency and profitability.
Investors
Investors who have invested their money in the firms share are most
concerned about the firm steady growth in earning. As such, they
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 17
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
concentrate on the analysis of the firm's present and future profitability.
They are also interested in the firms financial structure of the extent it
influence the firms earning ability and risk.
Management
An organization would be interested in every aspect of the financial
analysis. It is their overall responsibility to see that the resources of the firm
are used most effectively and efficiently and that the firm's financial
condition is sound.
So thus management employee financial analysis for the purpose of internal
control and to better provide what capital supplier seeks in financial
condition and performance from the business and from an internal control
standpoint, management needs to take financial analysis in order to plan
and control effectively.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial
situation. Financial ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the
firm's financials to those of other firms. Ratio analysis is the calculation and
comparison of ratios which are derived from the information in a company's
financial statements. Financial ratios are usually expressed as a percent or
as times per period. Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis.
It is defined as the systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial
statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as its
historical performance and current financial condition can be determined.
The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between
two variables. With the help of ratio analysis conclusion can be drawn

Ratio Analysis
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations.
These include:
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 19
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Current Ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
This ratio indicates the extent to which current liabilities are covered by
those assets expected to be converted to cash in the near future. Current
assets normally include cash, marketable securities, accounts receivables,
and inventories. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable, short-term
notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued taxes, and
other accrued expenses. Current assets are important to businesses
because they are the assets that are used to fund day-to-day operations and
pay ongoing expenses.

Interpretation:
The current ratio for the year 2007 & 2008 is 1.55 & 2.09 respectively,
compared to standard ratio of
2:1 this ratio is lower which shows low short term liquidity efficiency at the
same time holding less than sufficient current assets means insufficient use
of resources.
Sales to Working Capital:
Sales to Working Capital = Sales / Working Capital
Sales to working capital give an indication of the turnover in working
capital per year. A low working capital indicates an unprofitable use of
working capital.

Interpretation:
This liquidity ratio for the years 2007 & 2008 is 2.66 & 2.77, compared to
standard ratio of 2:1.
Working Capital:
Working Capital = Current Assets ÷Current Liabilities
A measure of both a company's efficiency and its short-term financial
health. Positive working capital means that the company is able to pay off
its short-term liabilities. Negative working capital means that a company
currently is unable to meet its short-term liabilities with its current
assets (cash, accounts receivable and inventory).
Also known as "net working capital” or the "working capital ratio".

It is very clear from the above calculations that the working capital of THDC
is gradually increasing over d period of time, which shows good short term
liquidity.
Leverage Ratios:
By using a combination of assets, debt, equity, and interest payments,
leverage ratio's are used to understand a company's ability to meet it long
term financial obligations. Leverage ratios measure the degree of protection
of suppliers of long term funds. The level of leverage depends on a lot of
factors such as availability of collateral, strength of operating cash flow and
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 23
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
tax treatments. Thus, investors should be careful about comparing financial
leverage between companies from different industries. For example
companies in the banking industry naturally operates with a high leverage
as collateral their assets are easily collateralized. These include:
Time Interest Earned : TIE Ratio = EBIT / Interest Charges
The interest coverage ratio tells us how easily a company is able to pay
interest expenses associated to the debt they currently have. The ratio is
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 24
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
designed to understand the amount of interest due as a function of
company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). This ratio measures
the extent to which operating income can decline before the firm is unable
to meet its annual interest cost.

interest burden even if EBIT and Tax suffer a considerable decline.
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 25
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Debt Ratio:
Debt Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
The ratio of total debt to total assets, generally called the debt ratio,
measures the percentage of funds provided by the creditors. The proportion
of a firm's total assets that are being financed with borrowed funds. The
debt ratio is calculated by dividing total long-term and short-term liabilities
by total assets. The higher the ratio, the more leverage the company is
using and the more risk it is assuming. Assets and liabilities are found on a
company's balance sheet.

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Debt to Equity Ratio:
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total debt / Total Equity
The debt to equity ratio is the most popular leverage ratio and it provides
detail around the amount of leverage (liabilities assumed) that a company
has in relation to the monies provided by shareholders. As you can see
through the formula below, the lower the number, the less leverage that a
company is using. The debt to equity ratio gives the proportion of a
company (or person's) assets that are financed by debt versus equity. It is a
common measure of the long- term viability of a company's business and,
along with current ratio, a measure of its liquidity, or its ability to cover its
expenses. As a result, debt to equity calculations often only includes long-
term debt rather than a company's total liabilities. A high debt to equity
ratio implies that the company has been aggressively financing its activities
through debt and therefore must pay interest on this financing.

Total Capitalization Ratio:
Total Capitalization Ratio = Long-term debt / long-term debt +
shareholders' equity
The capitalization ratio measures the debt component of a company's
capital structure, or capitalization (i.e., the sum of long-term debt liabilities
and shareholders' equity) to support a company's operations and growth.
Long-term debt is divided by the sum of long-term debt and shareholders'
equity. This ratio is considered to be one of the more meaningful of the
"debt" ratios - it delivers the key insight into a company's use of leverage.

Profitability Ratios:
Profitability is the net result of a number of policies and decisions. This
section of the discusses the different measures of corporate profitability and
financial performance. These ratios, much like the operational performance
ratios, give users a good understanding of how well the company utilized its
resources in generating profit and shareholder value. The long-term
profitability of a company is vital for both the survivability of the company
as well as the benefit received by shareholders. It is these ratios that can
give insight into the all important "profit".
Profitability ratios show the combined effects of liquidity, asset
management and debt on operating results. These ratios examine the profit
made by the firm and compare these figures with the size of the firm, the
assets employed by the firm or its level of sales. There are four important
profitability ratios that I am going to analyze:
Net Profit Margin:
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 30
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Net Profit margin = Net Profit / Sales x 100
Net Profit Margin gives us the net profit that the business is earning per
dollar of sales.
This margin indicates the profit after all the costs have been incurred it
shows that what % of turnover is represented by the net profit. An increase
in the ratios indicates that a firm is producing higher net profit of sales than
before.

Return on Equity (ROE):
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 31
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
Return on Total Equity = Profit after taxation/ Total Equity x 10
Return on Equity measures the amount of Net Income earned by utilizing
each dollar of Total common equity. It is the most important of the "Bottom
line" ratio. By this, we can find out how much the shareholders are going to
get for their shares. This ratio indicates how profitable a company is by
comparing its net income to its average shareholders' equity. The return on
equity ratio (ROE) measures how much the shareholders earned for their
investment in the company. The higher the ratio percentage, the more
efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the better return is
to investors.

Activity Ratios:
Activity ratio are sometimes are called efficiency ratios. Activity ratios are
concerned with how efficiency the assets of the firm are managed. These
ratios express relationship between level of sales and the investment in
various assets inventories, receivables, fixed assets etc.
Total Asset Turnover:
Total Asset Turnover = Total Sales / Total Assets
The amount of sales generated for every dollar's worth of assets. It is
calculated by dividing sales in dollars by assets in dollars. Asset turnover
measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or
revenue - the higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing
strategy: companies with low profit margins tend to have high asset
turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset turnover.

The P/E Ratio indicates how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of
current earnings. As such, high P/E Ratios are associated with growth
stocks. (Investors who are willing to pay a high price for a dollar of current
earnings obviously expect high earnings in the future.) In this manner, the
P/E Ratio also indicates how expensive a particular stock is. This ratio is not
meaningful, however, if the firm has very little or negative earnings. The

A firm's present ratio is compared with its past and expected future ratios
to determine whether the company's financial condition is improving or
deteriorating over time. Trend analysis studies the financial history of a firm
for comparison. By looking at the trend of a particular ratio, one sees
whether the ratio is falling, rising, or remaining relatively constant. This
helps to detect problems or observe good management.

SUMMARY
Financial Statement Analysis is a method used by interested parties such as
investors, creditors, and management to evaluate the past, current, and
projected conditions and performance of the firm. This report mainly deals
with the insight information of the two mentioned companies. In the current
picture where financial volatility is endemic and financial intuitions are
becoming popular, when it comes to investing, the sound analysis of
financial statements is one of the most important elements in the
fundamental analysis process. At the same time, the massive amount of
numbers in a company's financial statements can be bewildering and
intimidating to many investors. However, through financial ratio analysis, I
tried to work with these numbers in an organized fashion and presented
them in a summarizing form easily understandable to both the management
and interested investors.
It is required by law that all private and public limited companies must
prepare the financial statements like, income statement, balance sheet and
cash flow statement of the particular accounting period. The management
and financial analyst of the company analyze the financial statements for
making any further financial and administrative decisions for the
betterment of the company. Therefore, I select this topic, so that I have
done some solid financial analysis that will certainly help the management
of review their performance and also assist the interested people like
investors and creditors. As a financial analyst it is important that a financial
decision be made by analyzing the financial statements of the company. It is
the primary responsibility of the financial managers or financial analyst to
manage the financial matters of the company, by evaluating the financial
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 55
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
statements. I am also providing some important suggestions and opinions
about the financial matters of the business.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion and Findings
I analyzed the financial statement of TEHRI HYDRO DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION LTD. The analysis is as follows:
The liquidity position of the company is not up to the standard, is below
the industrial average in 2007, but it has improved a little in 2008 and is
near the industrial average.
There is a considerable rise in the working capital of the company from
2007 to 2008 which
shows good liquidity position of the company.
Leverage ratio indicates the high risk associated with the company.
Leverage ratio helps in helps in assessing the risk arising from the use of
debt capital. As we can see that in both the years debt to equity ratio is
slightly below the industrial average.
Profitability ratio is good as the earnings have increased for its share
holders from 26% to almost 30%. The profitability ratio is high because of
the low financial charge.
Activity ratio of the company is not that efficient, as we can see that the
debtor turnover ratio has increased but is not as much as company would
have expected. The average collection period is also late.
Company did not pay any dividend in 2007. EPS has also jumped from a
mere Rs37 to almost Rs 100.
Book value per share is the indication of the net worth of the corporation.
It is somehow similar to the earning per share, but it relates to
CASE STUDY OF THDC LTD Page 56
FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS 2010
stockholder’s equity to the number of shares outstanding, so we can say
net worth of the company is good.
The operating cash flow of the company is also good.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As I have realized that the Tehri Hydro Development Corporation LTD is
doing well since its inception. It is quite difficult to give any suggestion to
such a corporation but still no one is perfect,
There is always a room for improvement so I will recommend the following
suggestions for THDC LTD:
Employee training must be introduced on continuous basis so that the
employees have the understanding of the latest development
especially with its customers.
As observed the company has an Internal Audit system wherein
external Chartered Accountant Firms appointed to carry out periodic
audits of the different units of the Corporation. In my opinion, the
scope and coverage of internal Audit needs to be enhanced in order to
