Clarks, Nike, Reebok, Ecco, Deichmann, Elefanten, St Michaels, Hasley,
Salamander and Colehaan are manufactured under license in India. Besides,
many global retail chains seeking quality products at competitive prices are
actively sourcing footwear from India.

While leather shoes and uppers are produced in medium to large-scale units,
the sandals and chappals are produced in the household and cottage sector.
The industry is poised for adopting the modern and state-of-the-art
technology to suit the exacting international requirements and standards.
India produces more of gent’s footwear while the world’s major production

39
is in ladies footwear. In the case of chapels and sandals, use of non-leather
material is prevalent in the domestic market.

sport shoes, horrachies, sandals, ballerinas, boots. Non-leather footwear
exported from India are shoes, Sandals and Chappals made of rubber,
plastic, P.V.C. and other materials.

such as Nike, Adidas, Puma, Reebok, Florsheim, Rockport, etc. have also
been able to enter the market.

manufacturing methods to automated footwear manufacturing systems.

of-the-art CAD systems having 3D Shoe Design packages that are intuitive
and easy to use. Many Indian footwear factories have also acquired the ISO

technology base, skilled manpower and relatively low cost labor, proven
strength to produce footwear for global brand leaders and acquired

Share in GDP of footwear industry:-

48
India's GDP recently crossed the trillion-dollar mark for the first time
and with this India has joined the elite club of 12 countries with a trillion
dollar economy. Countries that have breached trillion-dollar GDP level
in the past are he US, Japan, Germany, China, UK, France, Italy, Spain,
Canada, Brazil and Russia.

The GDP or Gross Domestic Product is the primary indicator used to


gauge the health of a country's economy. The GDP of a country is
defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced
within a country in a given period of time. It is also considered the sum
of value added at every stage of production of all final goods and services
produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP is a number
that expresses the worth of the output of a country in local currency.
GDP tries to capture all final goods and services that are produced
within the political and geographical frontiers of the country, thereby
assuring that the final monetary value of everything that is created in a
country is represented in the GDP. GDP is calculated for a specific
period of time, usually a year or a quarter of a year.

According to the data released for the year 2006-2007, India's GDP grew
at an impressive 9.2 per cent. The share of different sectors of the
economy in India's GDP is as follows: Agriculture - 18.5 per cent,
Industry - 26.4 per cent, and Services - 55.1 per cent. The fact that the
service sector now accounts for more than half the GDP is a milestone in
India's economic history and takes it closer to the fundamentals of a
developed economy. At the time of independence agriculture occupied
the major share of GDP while the contribution of services was relatively
49
very less.
The government has set a target of an average annual GDP growth of 9
per cent for the Eleventh Five Year Plan. The target looks achievable as
all the macroeconomic fundamentals are strong and the impressive
growth rate of Indian GDP looks all set to continue. Footwear
Market in India 2010 ... India has around 3% share in the global trade of
leather in comparison to Chinas 20%. In order to . ... From 10% of the
Indian GDP in2007, it became 12% of GDP in 2009. ...

several decisions and formulating corporate plans and policies, it should be carefully
performed as it suffers from a number of the following limitations.

Mis lead the users:-

The accuracy of financial information largely depends on how accurately financial statements are
prepared. If their preparation is wrong, the information obtained from their analysis will also be
wrong which may mislead the user in making decisions.

8.Not useful for planning:-

Since financial statements are prepared by using historical financial data, therefore, the
information derived from such statements may not be effective in corporate planning, if
the previous situation does not prevail.

9.Qualitative aspects:-

Then financial statement analysis provides only quantitative information about the
company's financial affairs. However, it fails to provide qualitative information such as
management labor relation, customer's satisfaction, management skills and so on which
are also equally important for decision making.

10. Comparison not possible:-

60
The financial statements are based on historical data. Therefore comparative analysis of
financial statements of different years can not be done as inflation distorts the view
presented by the statements of different years.

5. Wrong judgement:-

The skills used in the analysis without adequate knowledge of the subject matter may
lead to negative direction. Similarly, biased attitude of the analyst may also lead to wrong
judgement and conclusion.

6. Not helpful in price fixation:-

In financial accounting the cost is not available as an aid in determining prices of the
product services production order and product line.

7. Not control on cost:-

It does not provide for a proper control of materials and suppliers, wages. labors and
overheads.

15. No analysis of losses:-

It does not provided the complete analysis of losses due to defective material, idle time,
idle plant and equipment. In other words no distinction is made between avoidable and
unavoidable wastage.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT:-

This is a simple method for tracing changes in the financial performance of a company.
Comparative financial statements will contain items for atleast two periods. Changes –
increases and decreases – in income statement and balance sheet over period can be
shown in two ways:
(1) Aggregate changes
(2) Proportional changes

Drawing special columns for aggregate amount or percentage, or both, of increase and
decrease, can indicate aggregate changes. Recording percentage calculated in relation to a
common base in special columns, on the other hand, shows relative, or proportional
changes. An investigation of the comparative financial statements helps to highlight the
significant facts and points out the items which need further analysis.

• Trend Analysis
In financial analysis the direction of changes over a period of years is of crucial
importance. Time series or trend analysis of ratios indicates the direction of change. This
kind of analysis is particularly applicable to the items of profit and loss account. For the
trend analysis, the use of index numbers is generally advocated. The procedure followed
is to assign the number 100 to the items of the base year and to calculate percentage
changes in each item of other years in relation to the base year. This procedure may be
called as “Trend Percentage Method”.

69
• Inter- Firm Analysis
A firm would like to know its financial standing vis-à-vis its competitors and the industry
group. The analysis of the financial performance of all firms in an industry and their
comparison at agiven point of time is referred to as cross sectional analysis or theinter-
firm analysis. To ascertain the relative financial standing of a firm, its financial ratios are
compared either with its immediate competitors or with the industrial average.

• Performa Analysis
Sometimes future ratios are used as the standards of comparison. Future ratios can be
developed from the projected, or proforma financial statements. The comparison of the
current or past ratiosshows the firm’s strengths and weaknesses in the past and the
future.If the ratios indicate weak financial position, corrective actions can beinitiated
