its own soul. In the vast diversities India become a group of different kinds of civilisation
having a common soul. people crossed the barriers of states, languages, culture and
religion. The development of indian economy was very fast based on the Nehruvian
principles of mixing socialism and capitalism.
Globalization become more and more in action by the end of 20th century and
Indian become a major player of the Global village in the beginning of 21st century

industry is subject to drastic changes and serve competitions during the last five years.
Many national and international players are competing each other other with wide varied

Finance - a concept
It would be worthwhile to recall what Hendry Ford once remarked : "money is an arm or
leg. You either use it or lose it". This statement though apparently simple, is quite
meaningful. It bring home the significance of mioney or finance. In the modern money
oriented economy finance is one of the basic foundations of all kinds of economic
activities. It is the master which provides access to all the sources for being employed in
manufacturing and merchandising activities. It has rightly been said that business needs
money to make more money, only when it is properly managed. Hence, efficient
management of every business enterprises is closely linked with efficient management of
its finance. In conclusion we can say that finance is regarded as "The life blood of every
business"

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Agriculture is a very important sector of the Indian economic. It contributes
sizably to the domestic product as also to export, more than two third of the work force in
agriculture products agro based industries etc.
India being an adriculture based economy provides live hood to more than
75% of the population major part of over income that is about 70% is earned from
agriculture activities. Inspire of the very dominant place of agriculture. It is a depressed
industry because of the low productivity in agriculture, small size of farm, finance and
defective equipments. Once governments believe that only large land holding were the
most efficient and they could use the latest techniques in cultivation. However is recent
years the emphasis has been shifted from large land holdigs to small land holdings.
The real problem of indian agricuture is that, there are too many people who
depended on agriculture. The natural increase in production could not be absorbed in
industries and even there who followed traditional handicrafts have to give them up and
adopt agriculture overcrowding and the consequent pressure of population on land have
led to subdivision and fragmentation of holding and decline in the area of land per capita.
CHAPTER- 3
THEORATICAL FRAME WORK
Fund Flow Analysis- Meaning
The basic financial statement, i.e.,the balance sheet and profit and loss account or
income statement of business, reveal the net effect of the various transactions on the
operational and financial position of the company.The balancesheet gives a summary of
the assets and liabilities of an undertaking at a particular point of time. It reveals the
financial status of the company. The profit and loss account reflects the result of the
business operations for a period of time. It contains a summary of expenses incurred and
the revenue realized in an accounting period. Both these statement provide the essential
basic information on the financial activities of a business, but their usefulness is limited
for analysis and planning purposes. The balance sheet does not disclose the causes for
changes in the assets and liabilities between two different points of time. The profit and
loss account, in a general way, indicates the resources provided by operations. But there
are many transactions that take place in an undertaking and which do not operate through
profit and loss account.Thus, another statement has to be prepared to show the change in
the assets and liabilities from the end of one period of time to the end of another period
of time. The statement is called a statement of changes in Financial Position or a Fund
Flow Statement.
The Fund Flow Statement is a statement which the shows the movement of funds
and is a report of the financial oprations of the business undertaking. It indicates various
means by which funds were obtained during a particular period and the ways in which
these funds were employed.In simple words, It is a statement of sources and applications
of funds.
transaction does not change funds it is said to have not resulted in the flow of funds.
According to the working capital concept of funds, the term 'flow of funds' refers to the
movement of funds in the working capital . If any transaction results in the inrease in
working capital, it is said to be a source or inflow of funds and if it results in the
decrease of working capital it is said to be an application or out flow of funds.
Rule
The flow of funds occurs when a transaction changes on the one hand a non
current account and on the other a current account and vice-versa.
When a change in a non current account e.g.,fixed assets, long term liabilities,
reserves and surplus, fictitious assets, etc., is followed by a change in another non-current
account, it does not amount to flow of funds. This is because of the fact that in such case
neither the working capital increase nor decreases. Similarly when a change in one
current account results in a change in another current account, it does not affect funds.
Funds move from non-current to current transactions or vice versa only. In simple
language funds move when a transaction affects
A current asset and a fixed asset, or
A fixed asset and a current liability, or
A current assets and fixed liability, or
A fixed liability and current liability ;
And funds do not move when the transaction affects fixed assets and fixed liability
or current assets and current liabilities.
inadequacy of working capital even in advance.One can plan the intermediate and long
term financing of the firm, repayment of long term debts, expansion of the business,
allocation of resources, etc. The significance or importance of funds flow statement can
be well followed from its various uses given below:
It helps in the analysis of financial operations. The financial statements reveal
the net effect of various transactions on the operational and financial position of
a concern. But it does not disclose the causes for changes in the assets and
liabilities between two different points of time. The funds flow statement
expains causes for such changes and also the effect of these changes on the
liquidity position of the company.
It helps in the formation of a realistic dividend policy. Sometimes a firm has
sufficient profits available for distribution as dividend but yet it may not be
advisable to distribute dividend for lack of liquid or cash resources. In such
cases, a funds flow statement helps in the formation of a realistic dividend
policy.
It helps in the proper allocation of limited resources. A projected funds flow
statement constructed for the future which helps in making managerial
decisions. The firm can plan the deployment of its resources allocate them
among various applications.
A projected funds flow statement also acts as a guide for future to the
management. The management can come to know the various problems it is
going to face in near future want of funds. The firm can arrange to finance
future needs more effectively and avoid future problems.
It helps in appraising the use of working capital. A funds flow statement helps
in explaining how efficiently the management has used its working capital and
also suggests ways to improve working capital position of the firm.
It helps knowing the overall creditworthiness of a firm.The financial institutions
and banks ask for funds flow statement cnstructed for a number of years before
granting loans to know the creditworthiness and paying capacity of the firm.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is considered as one of the powerful tools of financial statement
analysis. The relationship between two inter-related accounting figures expressed
mathematically is known as an accounting ratio.
For the purpose of the study, mainly two type of ratios are computed. They are as
follows:-
* CURRENT RATIO
It is a measure of general liquidity of a firm and most widely used to measure the
short term financial position or solvency of a firm.Current ratio of 2:1 is normally
considered satisfactory.
Current assets
-------------------------Current liabilities
Current Ratio =
* QUICK RATIO
It is also known as acid- test ratio which establishes the relationship between quick
assets and current liabilities. It is a measurement of firm's ability to convert current assets
quickly into cash in order to meet the current liabilities. The standard quick ratio of 1:1 is
considered satisfactory.
Quick assets
--------------------Current liabilities
Quick Ratio =
TURNOVER RATIO
The turnover ratios also known as activity ratios indicate the efficiency with which
the capital employed is rotated in the business. It also indicates the speed with which
certain assets are converted in to cash. Major turnover ratios used for the study are listed
below:-
Higher the value of debtors turnover ratio, the better it is as it shows efficient
collection of debtors. There is no standard debtors turnover ratio. What a good turnover
ratio will depend on the nature of business.
A low ratio may mean sound liquidity position of the firm with the result that the
firm is able to take the advantage of cash discounts allowed by the supliers. A high ratio
may imply less discount facilities availed or higher prices paid for the goods.
Inventory turnover ratio or stock turnover ratio measures how fast the inventory is
moving through the firm and generating sales.
sales
----------------------Average inventory
Working capital =
Cost of sales
------------------------Average working capital
This ratio measures the efficiency with which the working capital is being
used by a firm. A high ratio indicates the efficient utilisation of working capital and a
lower ratio indicates otherwise. This ratio can at best be used used by making of
comparitive and trend analysis for different firms in the same industry and for various
periods.
PBIT
------------------------- 100
Working capital

---------------curent assets
SOLVENCY RATIO
The long term financial soundness or solvency of any business is examined by
calculating ratio popularly, known as leverage of capital structure ratios.These ratio help
us to interpreting capacity of the business, to make periodic payments of interest or fixed
commitment charges and to rapay long term debt as per installments stipulated in the
contract.
Solvency ratio =

no proper inventory management within the firm. The company was able to increase its
sales in an increasing rate. But the company also needs to false care of their inventory
management.
Working capital Turnover Ratio
A higher working capital turnover ration indicates the efficient utilization of working
capital and low ratio
CHAPTER-5
FINDINGS SUGGESTIONS & CONCLUSION
The success of such an organisation shall to a large extend depend on the efficiency
with which it is managing its funds. The present study "Funds Management in KAMCO
Ltd" is undertaken with the following objectives: To know the sources used by the company to finanace its capital investment
proposals.
To ascertain the volume of funds generated by the company from its business
operations.
To identify the major commitments of funds have been made by the company.
To know the liquidity position of the company.
To evaluate the efficiency of the company in its utilization of assets.
The major findings of the study are listed below: Liquidity position of the company is found satisfactory during the study
period.The Liquidity ratios computed for this purpose meet the standards during
the five years of study.
The firm had adequate current assets for meeting its current liabilities in the year
2008-2009. In 2009- 10 the firm sold more goods on credit basis. It leads to
increase in the size of sundry debtors and also the size of working capital.There is
a decrease in sundry receivables and other current assets in the year 2010-2011.
This shows that company started controlling their credit sales.
The company has utilized its cash and bank balance to pay off the liabilities and
provision. This is the reason for the net decrease in working capital during the year
and 2011-12. The working capital is again increased in 2012-2013, but cash and
bank balance is still decreasing.
The current ratio experiencing a decreasing trend but it still above the standard
rate. Quck ratio indicates the liquidity position of the firm. The company was able
to bring down the ratio from 5.2 to 1.8 this shows the good liquidity position of the
company. The absolute liquid ratio shows that the firm was able to repay its short
term liabilities as and when required. But the company has to look that the
decrease in the cash and bank balance in the last two years. The cash and bank
balance need to improve otherwise the company will be in trouble to meet its short
term liabilities in future.
As per the study it is found that the company's credit sales are little bit high in the
year 2011 and 2012. The reason behind this is during these periods the company
outsourcing more goods.
The average collection period was in an increasing trend from 2007- 08 to 200910. In those particular years there was a very poor debt realization. The company
was able to bring it down to in the year 2010-11 and 2011-12. But later in 2012 13 it again rose to 107.35. Effort must be taken by the company to bring down the
average collection period as it indicates the good debt realization.
Throughout the study current assets turnover ratio shows fluctuating trend. But in
the year 2011 and 2012 drastic increase happend in the ratio and it is decreased in
the next year.
In order to mobilize more funds from operations, the management should take
necessary steps for reduction of cost and wastage in consumption of resources
