EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PROJECT TITLE: PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MATRIX CELLULAR
ORGANIZATION: MATRIX CELLULAR LIMITED
Matrix

Cellular

Services

is

Delhi-based

company

providing

complete

telecommunication solutions for Indian travellers going abroad. Their services include
international SIM cards, 3G data cards and wireless communication for use in India and
abroad. Their vision and effort to connect the Indian outbound traveller individuals,
students and corporate - with a convenient, cost-effective mobile and data service have
enabled us to become the undisputed market leader.
Objective of the study is to analyse the performance of the company using ration analysis
and common size statement. Although there are many other methods of analysing the
performance of the company, in this project only 2 main methods are used.
In findings many items are increasing and many are decreasing due to some or the other
reason. The overall performance of the year 2012 was much better than the performance
of 2013.
The present financial status of the company is not so good because there are many
important items in the balance sheet and profit and loss account that are affected badly
due to many factors. The economy of the country also affected the performance of the

company. Inflation can be the major reason for the downfall, not only this but the
increase in competition also affected the company badly.

LITERATURE REVIEW
John Mills and Ken Platts- Performance measurement (as promoted in the literature and
practiced in leading companies) refers to the use of a multi-dimensional set of
performance measures. The set of measures is multi-dimensional as it includes both
financial and non-financial measures, it includes both internal and external measures of
performance and it often includes both measures which quantify what has been achieved
as well as measures which are used to help predict the future.
Mike Bourne* and Andy Neely- Performance measurement is now being used to assess
the impact of actions on the stakeholders of the organization whose performance is being
measured. Although this can be considered as quantifying the efficiency and
effectiveness of action, in the case of measuring the impact of the organizations
performance on customer satisfaction, it is not as obvious in the cases of measuring the
impact of the organizations actions and performance on employee satisfaction or local
community satisfaction.

26

Performance analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and


weaknesses of the firm by properly establishing the relationship between the items of
balance sheet and profit and loss account. It also helps in short-term and long-term
forecasting and growth can be identified with the help of financial performance analysis.
The dictionary meaning of analysis is to resolve or separate a thing in to its element or
components parts for tracing their relation to the things as whole and to each other.

RATIO ANALYSIS- According to Myers- Ratio analysis is a study of relationship


among various financial factors in a business
In simple terms, ratio analysis is a technique of analysing financial statements by
computing ratios.
COMMON SIZE- Financial statements when read in absolute figure are not easily
understandable. They are even miss leading. Each items of asset is converted in to
percentage to total asset and each item of capital and liabilities is expressed to total
liability and capital fund. Thus the whole balance sheet is converted in to percentage form
i.e., every individual item stated as a percentage of total 100.such converted balance sheet
is known as common size balance sheet. The percentage so calculated can be easily
compared with the corresponding percentages in some other period.

1) Share capital
In year 2012 Total share capital is 1.75% where as in year 2013 it is comparatively
less i.e. 1.55% which means that may be the funds are used to buy the fixed assets of
the company. There is neither share application money nor preference share capital
nor preference share application money. So, from this we can that the equity share
capital has been reduced by 0.2% in 2013.

37

2) Reserves
In the year 2012, reserves were 43.3% and is has been reduced in 2013 i.e. in 2013
the reserves are 39.8% which means that reserves are utilized by the company for
some purpose therefore, it is reduced by 3.5%. There are no revaluation reserves in
the company.

3) Net Worth
Due to the reduction in total share capital and reserves, the overall net worth of the
company also reduced. It is seen that in 2012 the net worth was 45.04%, whereas in
2013 it is reduced to 41.35% only. However, a deficit net worth can negatively
influence future financing opportunities and stifle future business growth.

4) Debt
The secured as well as the unsecured loans have been increased in 2013. The secured
loans are increased by 2.8% where as the unsecured loans are increased by 1.27%.
Increase in secured loans is more than unsecured loans. Secured loans are generally
taken from banks and unsecured loans from any third party.

5) Gross block
In 2012 it was 119.02% and in 2013 it is 109.13% i.e. there is reduction in gross
block or we can say the fixed assets at cost. This may be due the reason that the
company has sold some of its fixed assets. There is a reduction of 9.89%.

38

6) Investments
Investments of the company are increased in the year 2013 i.e. 1.48% where as in
2012 it was just 0.57%. Therefore there is an increase in investment by 0.91% which
is good for a company. The company can invest in property, equity instruments,
debentures or bonds or mutual funds.

7) Inventories
In year 2012 the inventories were 0.197% as compared to 0.106% in the year 2013.
There is decrease in inventories by 0.091%. Decrease in inventory indicates that
inventory level are not keeping pace with the sales and the cost of goods sold is more
and there is less level of stock available in the company at present.

8) Sundry Debtors
In 2012 the debtors were 5.07% which is increased to 5.21% in 2013. This is good for
a company to have more debtors i.e. more inflow of cash in the business which
ultimately increase the assets of the company. There is an increase by 0.0.41% in the
debtors of the company.

9) Cash and Bank Balances


Again there is an increase in cash and bank balances of the company i.e. in 2012 it
were 0.82% and in 2013 it has increased to 1.66%. That means there is more inflow
of money into the business. The increase of cash and bank balance is by 0.84%.

39

10) Total Current Assets


As there is increase in investments, cash and bank balance and sundry debtors but
reduction in inventories, the overall affect to current assets was positive i.e. there is an
increase in the current assets of the company. Each item affects the level of current
assets and therefore the increase or decrease percentage as well.

11) Loans and Advances


Again there is increase in loans and advances. In 2012 they were 9.55% and in 2013 it
is increased to 10.73%, thus there is an increase of 1.18% in loans and advances. In
assets side the loans and advances indicates the loans or advances to be received or
received by the company from other sources. These are of short term in nature, i.e. the
amount which is expected to be realized within 12 months from the date of balance
sheet or within the operating cycles.

12) Total Current Assets, Loans and Advances


With the increase or decrease of items under current assets, loans and advances, the
effect on total of both is positive, i.e. there is an increase of 2%. In 2012 they were
15.70% and in 2013 it has increased to 17.70%. This increase would help in
increasing the assets of the company.

13) Current Liabilities

40

In 2012, current liabilities were 35.20% and in 2013 it has reduced to 27.62%. So
there is a decrease in current liabilities by 7.58%. Decrease in current liabilities is
good for the company as one of the aims of the company is to reduce the amount of
liabilities. Current liabilities include unpaid dividends, unpaid interest, income
received in advance or income accrued and due on borrowings, provision for doubtful
debts etc.

14) Provisions
In 2012 provisions were 0.12% only and in 2013 it has increased to 0.70%. Thus
there is an increase of 0.58%. This figure is added to current liabilities to get the total
of current liabilities and provisions.

15) Total Current Liabilities and Provisions


With the increase in provision and decrease in current liabilities, the overall effect of
current liabilities and provisions is negative i.e. there is reduction in current liabilities
and provisions by 7%, which is good for a company.

INTERPRETATION:

43

1) Sales Turnover
In year 2012 the amount of sales was Rs 59,467.20 and in year 2013 it is 71,505.80.
That means there is an absolute increase in the sales of the company. Now taking
sales as base and calculating the percentage of other items.

2) Total Income
In year 2012 it was 102.30% whereas in year 2013 it is reduced to 97.51%. This
decrease is due to other incomes (except sales turnover, stock adjustments and excise
duty) that are in negative in year 2013.

3) Raw Material
In year 2012 the raw material with the company was 1.37% and in year 2013 it is
totally zero i.e. there is no raw material with the company at present. Thus the raw
material is reduced by 1.37%.

4) Employee Cost
In year 2012 the employee cost was 5.51 and in 2013 it was decreased to 4.92%. So
there is a reduction of total 0.59%.

5) Other manufacturing Expenses

44

In year 2012 it was 33.94% and it increased in 2013 to 35.65% which means an
increase of 1.71% in other manufacturing expenses (except raw material, power and
fuel and employee cost).

6) Miscellaneous Expenses
In 2012 it was 16.24% and in 2013 it was increased to 26.27%. This means that there
were many other expenses occurring in the business which cannot be listed. There is
an increase of 10.03% in miscellaneous expenses.

7) Total Expenses
With the increase or decrease in the items under expenditure head, the overall effect
of expenditure is positive. It has increased by 10.77%. In 2012 it was 66.42% and in
2013 it is 77.19%. That means that with the reduction in total incomes, the
expenditure of the company is increasing.

8) Operating profit
There is a marginal decrease in operating profit as in 2012 it was 33.59% and in 2013
it is 33.15% So there is a marginal reduction of 0.44% in operating profit.
PBDIT(profit before dividend, interest and tax)- it is reduced by 5.81%
Interest- it is increased by 1.45%
PBT(profit before tax)- reduced by 8.79%
PEOI(post extra ordinary items)- it is again reduced by 8.47%
9) Net Profit

45

With the increase or decrease of items under operating profit the overall result on net
profit is hugely affected in a negative manner. It means that the net profit is reduced
by 8.96% which is a very huge value. This means that the profit earned is not that
much high as in the previous years. So the company needs to take necessary actions
to reduce the expenditure and increase the incomes so that the profits would be more.

10) Earning Per Share


EPS also reduced by 0.024% as the shares were less issued in the year 2013 as
compared to 2012. In 2012 EPS was 18.89 and in 2013 it was reduced to 5.84 only.
As in 2013 the shares issued (%) are 53.11% and in 2012 it was 63.86%

1) TURNOVER RATIOS/ MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY RATIOS


INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIOS
Inventory turnover ratios indicated the efficiency of the firm in producing and selling
its products. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by average inventory:
Inventory TOR = Cost of goods sold
Average Inventory
PARTICULARS
INVENTORY TOR

Mar12
278.01

Mar13
546.68

INTERPRETATION- It was observed that inventory turnover ratio indicated maximum


sales achieved within the minimum investment in the inventory. It indicated that in
previous year 2012 the ratio was less which is 278.01% as compared to the current year
2013 which is 546.68%. According to the general rule high inventory turnover is
desirable but high inventory turnover ratio may not necessary indicates the profitable
situation.

RECEIVABLE TURNOVER RATIOS


The derivation of this ratio is made in the following way:

47

Receivable Turnover ratio = Gross Sales


Average account receivables
Debtors turnover indicates the number of times debtors turnover each year. Generally the
higher the value of debtors turnover, the more is the management of credit.
Debtors turnover ratio = __365 days______
Receivable TOR

PARTICULARS
RECEIVABLE TOR

Mar12
13.71

Mar13
12.05

INTERPRETATION: It was observed that from debtor turnover ratio that receivables
around the sales were less. Receivable turnover ratio in 2012 was increased because
average debtors were reduced and net sale is being increased. It concludes that over
investment in the debtors which adversely affect on requirement of the working capital
finance and cost of such finance.

CURRENT ASSET TURNOVER RATIOS


Current asset turnover ratio is calculated to know the firms efficiency of utilizing the
current assets. Current assets includes the assets like inventories, sundry debtors, bills

48

receivable, cash in hand or bank, marketable securities etc. It is calculated by dividing


the sales with current assets:
Current Assets TOR = Sales_____

INTERPRETATION- It was observed that current assets for does not indicate any trend
over a period of time. Turnover ratio in year 2012 was 0.74 which decreased in the
current year 2013 i.e. 0.64 because of high cash balance. Cash did not help to increase in
sales volume, as cash is not earning asset.

FIXED ASSET TURNOVER RATIOS


Fixed asset turnover ratio is calculated to know the firms efficiency of utilizing the
fixed assets. Fixed assets include the assets like plant and machinery, building,

49

patents, trademarks, computers etc. It is calculated by dividing the sales with fixed
assets:
Fixed Assets TOR = Sales_____
Fixed Assets

INTERPRETATION- It was observed that fixed assets for does not indicate any trend
over a period of time. Turnover ratio in year 2012 was 0.91 which increased in the current
year 2013 i.e. 1.06 because of purchase of any asset.

2) LIQUIDITY RATIOS
CURRENT RATIO
This ratio shows short term financial soundness of the business. It is calculated by
dividing current assets with current liabilities:

50

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS


CURRENT LIABILITIES

PARTICULARS
CURRENT RATIO

Mar13

INTERPRETATION- According to general rules, higher ratio means better capacity to


meet its current obligations. The ideal current ratio is 2:1. Here in 2012 the ratio is 0.44:1
and in 2013 it has reduced to 0.38:1 which means its less than the ideal ratio. In this case
the ratio doesnt show the idealness of funds.

QUICK RATIO
This ratio is a fairly stringent measure of liquidity. It is calculated by dividing quick
assets with current liabilities. It is based on those current assets which are highly liquid.
Quick assets are calculated by subtracting inventories, prepaid expenses and fictitious
assets from current assets.

51

QUICK RATIO = QUICK ASSETS


CURRENT LIABILITIES

INTERPRETATION- According to general rules, the ideal quick ratio is 1:1. Higher the
quick ratio, better the short term financial position. Here in 2012 the ratio is 0.32:1 and it
has increased to 0.47:1. So its increase is good but it should be 1:1 for a company like
Matrix.

3) SOLVENCY RATIOS
DEBT- EQUITY RATIO
This ratio assesses the long term financial position and soundness of the long term
financial policies of the firm. It is calculated by dividing debt with equity:

INTERPRETATION- According to general rules, lower the debt equity ratio, higher the
degree of protection enjoyed by the lenders. In this case also, in 2012 the ratio was 1.36
and in 2012 it has been decreased to 1.16. So it is good for the company as the lenders
enjoy the degree of protection.

And, the long term debt equity ratio is:

is in respect of payment of interest regularly. In this case the ratio in 2013 is more than in
2012 by 3.18 times. Individually in year 2013 its good as it is almost the ideal ratio for
interest coverage.

4) PROFITABILITY RATIOS
GROSS PROFIT RATIO
This ratio indicates the relationship between the gross profit and net sales. Where
gross profit the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold. It is calculated by
dividing gross profit with net sales and multiplying it by 100. It is representes in

sold. This is true in this case as here also the gross profit in 2013 is much higher than in
the year 2012 so the organization enjoys the advantage of lower cot of goods sold.

OPERATING RATIO
This ratio is calculated to assess the operational efficiency of the business. Where
operating expenses are calculated by adding employees benefit expenses and other
expenses (other than non operating expenses). It is calculated by dividing operating
profit with sales and multiplying it by 100. It is represented in percentage (%) form.

because it means higher margin and thus more profits. Here in this case also the ratio
is declining by 0.38% which means that there is not much higher margin which
ultimately increases the profits not by much value.

NET PROFIT RATIO


This ratio indicates the relationship between the net profit and net sales. It is
calculated by dividing net profit with net sales and multiplying it by 100. It is
represented in percentage (%) form. It indicates overall efficiency of the business.

56

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED


This ratio assesses the overall performance of the enterprise. It measures how efficiently
the resources entrusted to the business are used. It is calculated by dividing profit before
interest, tax and dividend by capital employed and further multiplying it by 100. it is also

FINDINGS
&
CONCLUSION

58

5.1 FINDINGS
1) In year 2012 Total share capital is 1.75% where as in year 2013 it is comparatively
less i.e. 1.55% which means that may be the funds are used to buy the fixed assets of
the company. So, from this we can that the equity share capital has been reduced by
0.2% in 2013.

2) In the year 2012, reserves were 43.3% and is has been reduced in 2013 i.e. in 2013
the reserves are 39.8% which means that reserves are utilized by the company for
some purpose therefore, it is reduced by 3.5%. There are no revaluation reserves in
the company.

3) Due to the reduction in total share capital and reserves, the overall net worth of the
company also reduced. However, a deficit net worth can negatively influence future
financing opportunities and stifle future business growth.

59

4) There is reduction in gross block or we can say the fixed assets at cost. This may be
due the reason that the company has sold some of its fixed assets. There is a reduction of
9.89%.

5) Investments of the company are increased in the year 2013 i.e. 1.48% where as in 2012
it was just 0.57%. Therefore there is an increase in investment by 0.91% which is good
for a company.
6) Again there is an increase in cash and bank balances of the company i.e. in 2012 it
were 0.82% and in 2013 it has increased to 1.66%. The increase of cash and bank balance
is by 0.84%.

7) As there is increase in investments, cash and bank balance and sundry debtors but
reduction in inventories, the overall affect to current assets was positive i.e. there is an
increase in the current assets of the company. Each item affects the level of current assets
and therefore the increase or decrease percentage as well.

8) In 2012, current liabilities were 35.20% and in 2013 it has reduced to 27.62%. So there
is a decrease in current liabilities by 7.58%. Decrease in current liabilities is good for the
company as one of the aims of the company is to reduce the amount of liabilities. Current
liabilities include unpaid dividends, unpaid interest, income received in advance or
income accrued and due on borrowings, provision for doubtful debts etc.

60

9) In case of total income, it is reduced to 97.51%. This decrease is due to other incomes
(except sales turnover, stock adjustments and excise duty) that are in negative in year
2013.

10) With the increase or decrease in the items under expenditure head, the overall effect
of expenditure is positive. It has increased by 10.77%. In 2012 it was 66.42% and in 2013
it is 77.19%. That means that with the reduction in total incomes, the expenditure of the
company is increasing.
11) There is a marginal reduction of 0.44% in operating profit.
PBDIT(profit before dividend, interest and tax)- it is reduced by 5.81%
Interest- it is increased by 1.45%
PBT(profit before tax)- reduced by 8.79%
PEOI(post extra ordinary items)- it is again reduced by 8.47%

12) With the increase or decrease of items under operating profit the overall result on net
profit is hugely affected in a negative manner. It means that the net profit is reduced by
8.96% which is a very huge value.

13) It was observed that from debtor turnover ratio that receivables around the sales were
less. Receivable turnover ratio in 2012 was increased because average debtors were
reduced and net sale is being increased.

61

14) It was observed that fixed assets for does not indicate any trend over a period of time.
Turnover ratio in year 2012 was 0.91 which increased in the current year 2013 i.e. 1.06
because of purchase of any asset.

15) Here in 2012 the ratio is 0.44:1 and in 2013 it has reduced to 0.38:1 which means its
less than the ideal ratio. In this case the ratio doesnt show the idealness of funds.

16) Here in 2012 the ratio is 0.32:1 and it has increased to 0.47:1. So its increase is good
but it should be 1:1 for a company like Matrix.

17) Here the gross profit in 2013 is much higher than in the year 2012 so the organization
enjoys the advantage of lower cot of goods sold.

18) Here in this case also the ratio is declining by 0.38% which means that there is not
much higher margin which ultimately increases the profits not by much value.

5.2 CONCLUSION
Competition in telecom industry is heating up its time for Indian telecom players also to
align up in the new dynamic business environment.
Telcom majors should think to launch the product according to the needs of customers to
satisfy them and make them brand loyal as very soon this blue ocean of Indian telecom
scenario will convert into red ocean where the loss of is the gain of other .They should
also think for searching new space or we can say either creating a new blue space to
sustain their growth in long run.
There is more room for data analysis but the rest of the part is beyond the scope of this
project report According to the results, the most important determinant for consumers are
price and sacrifice perception (monetary and non-monetary sacrifice), which in

most important factor is the periodical fixed cost and another factor is the opening cost.
These indicate, not surprisingly, that communication firms need to deeply consider. Also,
this indicates that a lot of effort must be put in the pricing strategy.
Quality of service and the ability to attract and retain customers dictate the success or
failure of next-generation communications service providers. In todays competitive
environment, customers are quick to abandon services that do not meet expectations.
The ease with which customers can switch from their current service to another, demands
that providers deliver the highest possible levels of service quality and performance. To
be successful, communications service providers must deliver positive customer
experiences with rich, value-added services supported by comprehensive service quality
management. To this effect-Mobile service has experienced the negative attributes of not
being customer focused and realizes that quality is an attribute that creates customer
satisfaction profitably. Therefore quality must be fused with all resources channelled
towards their customers.
