INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Working capital management is concerned with the raising of and dealing with short-term resources (called current liabilities) needed by the business on a revolving basis and
there after putting them to productive use of the fixed assets like (plant, machinery etc) inducted into the business the business and in this process to achieve the different facets of business activity planned. Working capital turns static long-term blocks, assets into dynamic operational facilities to generate continuous cycle of productive activity like manufacturing and trading or service providing. While long term investment is raised one time initially and invested at once to procure the block assets needed to translate business goals into reality.
Working capital management serves as the effective drive that enables the operative use of the uninterrupted process of business activity. This leads to the revenue generation on a continuing and on going basis. While investment finance is concerned with raising long term funds to be utilized in fixed assets and investments, working capital is concerned with raising current liabilities to current assets.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
To study the components, determinants of working capital.
To determine the amount of working capital.
To calculate various ratios among various components of working capital.
To find out operating cycle of concerned company.
To prepare & analyze cash flow statement.
To prepare net operating cycle of 2007-08, 2008-09,2009-10.
NEED OF THE STUDY
To provide a handy reference in understanding Nalco’s financial policy and To provide an insight into various sources available for financing the working capital and its utilization.
To provide economic information to the investors and to judge the management on its stewardship of the resources of the enterprise and achievement of corporate objectives.
To provide information about the economic activity of JSL to several group who otherwise has no access to such information.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
1.To study the purchases schedule of raw material stores &spares of Hal
2.To study the production expenses such as wages & salaries.
3.To study the credit sales pattern of finish product of HAL.
DATA AND METHODOLOGY:
The data that are present in this report have been taken from
secondary sources. The data of HINDUSTAN AERONAUTICS
LIMITED, Engine Division, Koraput, for the year 2007-08,2008-
09&2009-10 used in this report have been taken from financial
statements i.e., the PROFIT AND LOSS ACOUNT, BALANCE
SHEET for the relevant years. The procedural details have been
collected from the respective manuals, booklets etc. For
analyzing the performance of working capital management, simple
mathematical tools like percentage, average , ratio have been used
in this project work. To know the financial performances of this
division, calculation of operation cycle, Earning before interest &
taxes have been calculated .
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:
Most of the information is collected from the secondary
sources.
If the working capital is not properly maintained and managed
then it may result in unnecessary blocking scarce resources of
the firm.
There is a gap between the theoretical analysis & its practical
and real life application. The data available is limited to the
Koraput Division. The overall data of HAL is not available.
The actually working figure may slightly differ from the study.
The accuracy in the data, which could not be avoided, imposed
some more restriction on the study.
There is not sufficient time for analyzing the financial status
of HAL.
COMPANY PROFILE
COMPANY PROFILE
HAL was formed on 1 s t October 1964 by the merger of Hindustan Aircraft limited and aeronautics India limited.
The late Shri “ WALCHAND HIRACHAND “ set up Hindustan Aircraft limited at Bangalore in Karnataka in December 1940, in
association with the government of Mysore, as a private limited company, in June 1942. The government of India purchased the interest of the company and took over its management. The HARLOW TRAINER AND CURTISS HAWK FIGHTER AIR CRAFT LIMITED and they were successfully flown in 1942.
In 1948, with the impetus given by the prime minister of India, late Sri Jawaharlal Nehru the policy of manufacture as well as design and development of Aircraft was taken over by the government of India. In august 1962, government of India entered into a collaboration agreement with the Soviet Union for the manufacturing of MIG-21 FL AIR CRAFT including its engine and avionics HINDUSTAN AERONAUTICS LIMITED was formed to undertake the manufacture and overhaul of the airframes / assembling of the air craft, Koraput in ORISSA, for the manufacturing and overhaul of aero engines and at Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh for the avionics for the MIG Aircraft.
Hindustan Aircraft limited and aeronautics India limited were merging red in October 1964 to form the present Hindustan aeronautics limited. In July 1970 a helicopter division was established as a part of BANGALORE complex for the manufacture of “CHETAK” and “CHEETAH” helicopters under license from FRANCE.
“To become a globally competitive aerospace industry while working as an instrument for achieving self reliance in design manufacture and maintenance of aerospace defence equipment and diversifying to related areas managing the business on commercial lines in a climate of growing professional competence’’
Over the first five decades HAL has spread its wings to cover various activies in the area of design, development, manufacture and maintenance of Light aircraft, piston and jet engine of imported category was delivered to HAL, Nasik division in the year 1978-79. A total of 300 engines are to be delivered under this project. Against this task, the division has already delivered 88 engines of
different imported categories. The first raw-materials engine is scheduled for delivery during the year 1982-83.
In august1966 an agreement was signed with Soviet Union to set up overhaul project in this division and the government sanction was accord in 1967.Thefactory started overhaul of RF-300 series-III, R11F series 9&10& R11F2s/F2SK series engine. The division till the end of March 1982 has overhauled a total of 1067 engines.
The division is currently engaged in setting of facilities for taking up the overhaul of R25 series engines for the year 1982-83 onwards. With the signing of internal governmental agreement for the manufacture of MIG-27M Aircraft on 19th March 1982, this division would be involved in the manufacture of 285 numbers of the engines from the year 1984 to 85 onwards. In order to attend the self sufficiency & to avoid difficulties regarding the supply of the raw materials & other bought out items from USSR, it was decided to provide indigenous support to spare manufacturing for the overhaul/maintenance of the MIG fleet. The government approval for undertaking the task was received during 1977-78 & indigenous plan was formed to tackle.

LITERATURE REVIEW
LITERATURE REVIEW
“As no man can live without food and no vehicle can run without fuel like that no organization can run without finance.”
Finance is the lifeblood of any business. Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weakness of the firm by properly establishing the relationship between the items of balance sheet which summarizes the assets, liabilities and the owner’s equity and Profit & Loss account which summarizes the income and expenditure of the firm over a particular period of time. This process of analysis is carried out by establishing different types of relationships among different items of the financial statements of the firm as these statements prepared as such won’t help the firm very much unless it is analyzed and interpreted.
THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE “CONCEPT’’
Working capital is very important for business. Working capital management is concerned with the problems that arise in attempting to manage the current asset, the current liabilities and the inter- relation solvency of a concern. The main goal of working capital management is to manage the firm’s current assets and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital maintained. This is so because if the firm cannot maintain a satisfactory level of working capital, it is likely to become insolent and may be forced into bankruptcy. The current assets should be large enough to cover its current liabilities in order to ensure a reasonable margin of safety. Each of the current assets must be managed efficiently in order to maintain the liquidity of the firm while not keeping too high a level of any one of them. Each of the short-term sources of financing must be continuously managed to ensure that they are obtained and used in the best possible way. The interaction between current assets and current liabilities in therefore, the main theme of the theory of working capital management.
The working capital management refers to management of the working capital, or to be more precise, the management of current assets. A firm’s working capital consists of its investment in current assets, which include short-term assets such as cash & bank balance, inventories, receivables (including debtors & bills), and marketable securities. So, the working capital management refers to management of the level of all these individual current assets. The need for working capital management arises from two considerations. First, existence of working capital is imperative in any firm. The fixed asserts which usually require a large chunk of total funds, can be used at an optimum level only if supported by sufficient working capital & second, the working capital involves investment of funds of the firm.
The working capital management includes the management of the level of individual current assets as well as the management of total working capital. However, each individual current asset has unique characteristics, which the financial manager must consider in deciding how much money should be invested in the each of these current assets.
Types of working capital:
There are two concepts of working capital:
Gross working capital Net working capital
1. Gross working capital (or Total working capital): The gross working capital refers to the firm’s investment
in all the current assets taken together. The total of investments in all the individual current assets is the gross working capital.
2. Net working capital:
The term net working capital may be defined as the excess of current assets over total current liabilities. It may be noted that to those liabilities which are payable within a period of one year. The extent, to which the payments to these current liabilities are delayed, the firm gets the availability of funds for that period. So a
part of the funds required to maintain current assets is provided by the current liabilities & the firm will be required to invest the funds in only those current assets which are not financed by the current liabilities.
In the broad sense, the term working capital refers to the gross working capital and represents the amount of funds invested in current assets. Thus the gross working capital is the capital in rested in total current assets of the enterprise current assets are those assets which in ordinary of business can be converted into cash neither a short period of normally one accounting year.
In narrow sense the term working capital refers to the net working capital. Net working capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities i.e.;
Net working capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities.
Net working capital may be positive or negative , when the current assets exceed the current liabilities the working capital is positive or the negative working capital results when the current liabilities are more than current assets. Current liabilities are those liabilities, which are intended to be paid in the ordinary course of business within a short period of normally one accounting year out of the current assets or the income of the business.
The following are examples of current assets and current liabilities:
CURRENT ASSETS
1) Cash in hand and bank balance
2) Bills receivable
3) Sundry debtors
4) Short term loans and advances
5) Inventories of stocks as:
Raw material Work-in-progress Stores and spares Finished goods
6) Temporary investment of surplus funds
7) Prepaid Expenses
8) Accrued incomes
CURRENT LIABILITIES
1) Bills payable
2) Sundry creditors or Account payable
3) Accrued or Outstanding Expenses
4) Short term loans, advances and deposits
5) Dividends payable
6) Bank Overdraft
7) Provision for taxation if it does not amount to appropriation of profits.
Net working capital refers to the amount of funds that must be invested by the firm, more or less, regularly in current assets. The remaining portion of current assets being financed by the current liabilities. The net working capital also denotes the net liquidity being maintained by the firm. This also gives an idea of buffer available to the current liabilities.
Thus both concepts of working capital i.e. the gross working capital & the net working capital have their own relevance & a
Financial Manager should give due attention to both of these. The cash inflows & outflows for any firm are seldom synchronized and so, some working capital is necessary. The cash outflows occurring from the existence of the current liabilities are more easily & correctly predictable but the cash flows from current assets are difficult to be accurately predicted. The more predictable, these cash flows are, the less the net working capital required by the firm. The firm with more & more uncertain cash inflows must maintain higher &higher level of current assets adequate to cover the current liabilities.
THE OPERATING CYCLE & WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS
The working capital requirement of a firm depends, to a great extent upon the operating cycle of the firm. The operating cycle may be defined as the time duration starting from the procurement of goods or raw materials & ending with the sales realization. The length & nature of the operating cycle may differ from one firm to another depending upon the size & nature of the firm.
In a trading concern, there is a series of activities starting from procurement of goods & ending with the realization of sales revenue. Similarly in case of manufacturing concern, this series starts from procurement of raw materials & ending with the realization of finished goods. In both the cases, however, there is a time gap between the happening of the first event and happening of the last event. This time gap is called the Operating Cycle .
Thus, the operating cycle of a firm consists of the time required for the completion of the chronological sequence of some or all of the following:
Procurement of raw materials & services. Conversion of raw materials into work-in-progress.
Conversion of work-in-progress into finished goods. Sales of finished goods (Cash or Credit) Conversion of receivables into cash
WORKING CAPITAL CYCLE
FACTORS DETERMINING WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT:
The working capitals needs of a firm are determined& influenced by various factors. A wide variety of considerations may affect the quantum of working capital required and these
RAW MATERIAL
DEBTORS
WORK IN PROGRESS
FINISHED GOODS
CASH
CASH SALES
CREDIT SALES
considerations may vary from time to time. The working capital needed at one point of time may not be good enough for some other situation. The determination of working capital requirement is a continues process & must be undertaken on a regular basis in the light of the changing situations. Following are some of the factors, which are relevant in determining the working capital needs of the firm
1. Basic Nature of Business:
The working capital requirement is closely related to the nature of the business of the firm. The trading concerns usually have smaller needs of working capital, however, in certain cases, large inventories of goods may be required & consequently working capital may be large. In case of financial concerns, there may not be stock of goods but these firms do have to maintain sufficient liquidity all the times.
In case of manufacturing concerns, different types of production processes are performed. One unit of raw material introduced in the production schedule may take a long period before it is available as finished goods for sale. The operating cycle is usually a longer one & sales are made generally on credit terms. So, in case of manufacturing concerns, there is a requirement of substantial working capital.
2. Business Cycle Fluctuations:
Different phases of business cycle i.e. boom, recession, recovery etc. also affect the working capital requirement. In case of boom conditions, inflationary pressure appears & business activities expand. As a result, the overall need for cash, inventories etc. increases resulting in more & more funds blocked in these current assets. In case of recession period however, there is usually dullness in business activities and there will be a fall in inventories & cash requirement.
3. Seasonal Operations:
If a firm is operating in goods & services having seasonal fluctuations in demand, then the working capital requirement will
also fluctuate with every change. If the operations are smooth & even through out the year then the working capital requirement will be constant & will not be affected by the seasonal factors.
4. Market Competitiveness:
The market competitiveness has an important bearing on the working capital needs of a firm. In view of the competitive conditions prevailing in the market. The firm may have to offer liberal credit terms to the customers resulting in the higher debtors. The working capital tends to be high as a result of greater investment in inventories & receivables.
5. Credit Policy:
The credit policy means the totality of term & conditions on which goods are sold & purchased. A firm has to interact with two types of credit polices at a time.
a. The policy of the superior of raw materials, goods etcb. The credit policy relating to credit which it extends to its
customers.
In both the cases, however the firm while deciding its credit policy has to take care of the credit policy of the market.
6. Supply Conditions:
The time taken by a supplier of raw materials, goods etc. after placing an order, also determines the working capital requirement. If goods are received as soon as or in a short period after placing an order, then the purchaser will not like to maintain a high level of inventory of that good.
NEED FOR ADEQUATE WORKING CAPITAL:
The need & importance of adequate working capital for day-to-day operations can hardly be underestimated. Every firm must maintain a sound working capital position otherwise; its business activities may be adversely affected. The objective of financial management i.e. to maximize the wealth of the shareholder cannot
be attained if the operations of the firm are not optimized. Thus every firm must have adequate working capital. It should have neither the excessive working capital nor inadequate working capital. Both situations are risky & may have dangerous outcome. The excessive working capital, when the investment in working capital is more than the required level, may result in
a. Unnecessary accumulation of inventories resulting in waste, theft, damage etc.
b. Delays in collection of receivables resulting in more liberal credit terms to customers than warranted by the market conditions.
c. Adverse influence on the performance of the management.
On the other hand, inadequate working capital situation, when the firm does not have sufficient working capital to support its operation, is also not good for the firm, such a situation may have following consequences:
The fixed assets may not be optimally used. Firm’s growth may stagnate. Interruptions in production schedule may occur
ultimately resulting in lowering of the profit of the firm. The firm may not be able to take benefit of an
opportunity. Firm’s goodwill in the market is affected if it is not in a
position to meet its liabilities on time.
OBJECTS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The need for working capital cannot be over emphasized. Every business needs some amount of working capital. So management of working capital is necessary. Thus working capital is needed for the the following purpose:
1. For the purchase of raw materials, components and spares2. To pay wages and salaries3. To inure day-to-day expenses and overhead costs such as fuel
power and office expenses etc.4. To meet the selling costs as packing, advertising etc.5. To provide credit facilities to the customers6. To maintain the inventories of raw materials, work-in-
progress, spares and finished stock
KINDS OF WORKING CAPITALS:
The categorization of Working capital can be made either best on its concept or the need to maintain current assets either permanently and/or temporarily.
KINDS OF WORKING CAPITALS
ON THE BASIS OF TIMEON THE BASIS OF CONCEPT
Permanent working capital
Permanent working capital is the minimum investment kept in the form of inventory of raw materials; work in process, finished goods, stores & spares, and book debts to facilitate uninterrupted operation in a firm. Though this investment is stable in short run, it certainly varies in long run depending upon the expansion programmes undertaken by a firm. It may increase or decrease over a period of time. The minimum level of current assets maintained in a firm is usually known as permanentor regular working capital.
Temporary Working capital
A firm is required to maintain an additional current assets temporarily over and above permanent working capital to satisfy cyclical demands. Any additional working capital apart from permanent working capital required to support the changing production and sales activities is reffered to as temporary or variable working capital. In other words, an amount over and above the permanent level of working capital is temporary, fluctuating or variable working capital.

COMPNENTS OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
A) THEORITICAL REVIEW:
The following are the three components of working capital management:
1. Management of Cash2. Management of Accounts Receivables3. Management of Inventory
MANAGEMENT OF CASH
INTRODUCTION
Cash is the important current asset for the operations of the business. Cash is the basic input needed to keep the business running on a continues basis. It is also the ultimate output expected to be realized by selling the services or product manufactured by the firm. The firm should keep sufficient cash, neither more nor less. Cash shortage will disrupt the firms manufacturing operations while excessive cash will
simply remain idle, without contributing anything towards the firm’s profitability. Efficient cash management is crucial to the solvency of the business because in a very important sense cash is the focal point of fund flows in a business. In view of its importance, it is generally referred to as the “LIFE BLOOD OF A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.”
MAIN OBJECTIVES OF CASH MANAGEMENT:
Cash Management is concerned with the managing of:
1) Cash flows into & out of the firm2) Cash flows within the firm3) Cash balances held by the firm at a point of time by
financing deficit or investing surplus cash.
CASH MANAGEMENT IN HAL:
Cash is the most liquidity part of current asset and by which all the operations of the organization are carried on. So it needs to be managed as over of balance or under balance can cause a lot of disturbance to the organization. Shortage of cash will stop the operation where as the excess of cash will create idle fund if not properly used. The later is hard case in the part of HAL. As its main source of getting fund its main customer IAF which gives 65% cash in advance and balance on the delivery. So in HAL one case may hamper the operation/production. So the credit days allowed by HAL should be as minimum as possible. For the collection of cash HAL uses DD for customers like IAF and PSU’s but for export orders it uses LC (Letter of credit).
MANAGEMENT OF INVENTORY IN HAL:
Management of inventory gives a way to understand the procurement system of HAL. The procurement system adopted by HAL is of two types:
1. Re order level system
2. Periodic review system
The first method is called as indigenious procurement system as it is made for Indian materials.
But for second method it is called as Russian procurement or Foreign Procurement system as it is made for foreign imported from Russia & UK.
Before switching on to the system of procurement it will be better to know the MRP (Material Requirement Planning).
MRP: What does it mean ?
MRP refers to material requirement planning. That means for the future the amount of material required with the help of forecast safe at present. In earlier days HAL had been adopting MRP-I, which refers to how much materials required with keeping in view the future sales. This can be illustrated as:
Suppose a material named A is to be produced for the year 2008-2009 of 100 units the compents of ‘A’ are x, y, z.
So, the materials required are:
X*100=100x
Y*100=100y
Z*100=100z
But this may lead to over stocking as some of the materials may in pipeline, some may in stores as finished goods and some may as WIP. So to overcome this HAL later adopted MRP-II.The following is the procedure:
First the estimated sales or forecast sales are conveyed to the production-engineering department. Then they will determine the machinery requirements, the infrastructure for this, the raw materials required. Then the process in transferred to the manufacturing department. Keeping in view of the stock of finished goods in
stores, in pipelines etc, also some amount is kept as provision to meet the future contingencies. It varies from 5% to 10%. So MRP-II is calculated as:
Net requirement for 2005-2006=Total requirement + provision for contingencies – in pipelines – finished items in stores – WIP
The MRP-II for the Russian procurement is 15 months where as for indigenous procurement it is 9 months. That means if you are planning for April 2009 than you have to forecast the sales on the month oh January 2008 for Russia and on July 2008.
This implies you have to order for raw materials in January2008 for Russian procurement where as July for indigenous procurement.

RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT IN HAL
HAL’s main customer is IFA, which covers 90-95% of HAL’s products. For receivable there is an order book, which shows the order book, which shows the order made by IAF. For this IAF pays 65% as stage payment (advance) and other 35% at the time of delivery which depends upon the availability of funds with the hand of government. But before this one should know how the price rupees quoted for HAL products.
There are two methods to calculate the price of products. For manufacturing overhead routable, they are adopting FPG (fixed price quotation) with an additional of profit. For labour cost the profit is 9.94% and for material cost it is 10% that means they are charging overall 9.97%. But for spares and sometimes also for routable they are adopting or referring priced catalogue, which include a profit of 10%.
The fixed price quotation is subject to fluctuate and for this some escalation cost is added to the base year price. The order is called RMS order (Repair, Maintenance and Supply). The 35% is collected after the approval of DAD. There are two clauses for the late delivery payment either of raw materials or money (35% balances) respectively two clauses are LD clauses and interest on deferred liability.
DATA ANALYSYS & INTERPREATION
ANALYSIS OF COMPONETS OF WORKING CAPTITAL
(1) Management of Cash (2) Management of Accounts Rece
(3) Management of Inventory
MANAGEMENT OF CASH
Cash is the most important liquid current assets of the business. Any firm should keep sufficient cash for day today operation, cash shortage signifies solvency of the company.
Thus it is vital to maintain sufficient cash position. Cash management is concerned with the management of:
i. Cash inflow and outflow monitoring.ii. Quick/timely realization of receivables.
iii. Cash balances to be held by the firm at any point of time to meet financial deficit.
iv. Better inventory management.
Now let us analysis the percentage of cash and bank balances maintained
organization towards current asset.

INTERPRETATION:
By analyzing the statements, it is observed that 0.013, 0.004 and 0.004 of current assets were held as cash in hand and cash at bank during the years 2007-2008, 2008-2009, 2009-2010, respectively. The cash management in HAL is centerlized and managed by the corporate office.
On the basis of yearly budgets and performance of the division, the corporate office has fixed certain measures for smooth running of the business.
They are:
1. Fixing the drawl limits : After analysis of budget and forecast given by the division, the corporate office has fixed drawl limit not exceeding 12 crores per month. This ceiling does not include drawing the salaries and wage of the staff
2. Fixing the letter of credit : the limit for opening the fore cast irrevocable letter of credit is up to Rs 12 crores. If any urgency arises prior approval of the corporate office it may go beyond the limit.
By fixing these types of limits, the corporate office is in position to monitor its divisions, fund requirements and collections. By this process divisions are not in a position to withhold/block cash at their disposal because the net balance has to be transferred to the central account at the corporate office at daily basis. Even though we extract the information that will not signify the real norms.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:
Account Receivable of HAL, Koraput Division consists of sales to India air force (IAF) and very minor amount of foreign parties in real sense there is no such credit sales to Indian air force.
The debts are pending for collecting due ton want of clarification/documentation or some other reason. The arrangement between India Air Force and HAL regarding payment based on the Fixed Price Quotation (FPQ). Initially the IAF & HAL have entered into an agreement for payment like Advance Payment depending on progress of the work & balance amount is to be paid after completion of work.
TABLE – 2
CALCULATION OF PERCENTAGE OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TO THE CURRENT ASSETS (IN LAKHS)
INTERPRETATION:
The above comparison shares that:
The investment in Accounts receivables is more during 2009-2010 . The increase in ratio indicates that the management wants to push off the accumulated stocks & go for fresh production. However the resultant credit period extended to the customer is to be received.
The percentages of accounts received to current assets are 5.61%& 6.36% in the year 2007-08 & 2009-10.
It had a gradually increase in current assets.

INTERPRETATION:
The above table analyzes that:
The Average Collection Period (ACP) for the year 2007-08,2008-09,2009-10, are 15 days,37days and 65 days.
Normally 50-60 days is the lead-time for realizing the debtors for the enterprise like HAL.
The Average Collection Period for these years is much than required.
The Average Collection Period shows the extent of time period & the efficiency in the Collection of debtors.
Thus to improve the efficiency of HAL unit at Koraput has to shorten the Average Collection Period. Thus reduce the liberal term to the debtors.
Average Collection Period below would be better for HAL. As more than 95% of Collections are from Government there is no risk of bad debts.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT IN HAL
There is a centralized stores department functioning in this division in co-ordination with stores department, purchase department & material control department. The responsibilities of each department have been laid down clearly by the management. TABLE – 4

C. Percentage of Inventory to Current Assets (A/B*100)
62.28 59.76 68.28
INTERPRETATION:
The holding of inventory is 62-68% of current assets. This percentage has been decreased in2008-09 than 2007-08 and 2009 -10. The main cause for the accumulation of inventory
is to maintain sufficient space/raw materials to meet the emergency like war. Maximum material of HAL, Koraput Division is imported from Russia, there for it is possible to decrease cost of transportation & also large-scale order will enable HAL to bargain for cost.
The percentages of inventory to the current assets are 62.28 %,59.76%and62.28% inyear2007-08,2008-09 and 2009-10.
In 2008-09 the percentages of 59.76%of current assets were occupied by inventory where as the percentage has decrease.
The present system of procurement by HAL in just-in –time. At present the inventory held is huge as compared to the
standard norms.
INVENTORY ANALYSIS & SELECTIVE CONTROLS:
If inventory analysis HAL, Koraput Division follows ABC,VED,ADF & HMI Analysis then the inventory management of the organization functioning smoothly. Among all the analysis, ABC analysis is widely used in this Division. The procedures & categorization of this analysis followed by this Division are as follows:
The annual usage in units is to be calculated for each item based on forecast estimates.
The annual usage in units is to be multiplied with the unit cost to get the annual usage in rupees of each item.
The items are to be ranked from the highest annual rupee usage in the descending order to the lowest annual rupee usage an assign category.

INTERPRETATION :
Raw material conversion period is 262 days in 2007-08, 226 days in 2008-09, 268 days in 2009-10.
The raw material conversion period is very high during 2009-10 as compared to other year.
Therefore, from the above discussion it is cleared that the raw material level does not affect the raw material conversion period.
The raw material conversion period for the year 2009-10 is 268 days. This was so high because of manufacturing of a new product the Engine SU – 30.

SIT - Stock in Trade
INTERPRETATION :
WIP conversion period is 72 days ,147 day & 249 days in 2007-08,2008-09,2009-10 respectively.
The company has shown an efficient management labour force & efficient utilization of materials by maintaining a less work in progress conversion period in year 2007-08.
Further to improve , it has to reduce the work in progress conversion period though aviation industry requires much time in work in progress.
Due to manufacturing of the new product SU – 30 the work in progress conversion has consumed more time in the
2008-09onwards i.e.,147 days, 249days as compared to2007-08

INTERPRETATION :
From the above table it is seen that:
The payable deferral period i.e. the credit period allowed by the creditors during the years 2007-08,2008-09& 2009-14 is 89 days, 72 days, & 52 days.
This means that the amount payable to creditors was paid after a long period of credit purchase.
Where as in 2009-10 the payable deferral period was the shortest i.e. only 52 days, which means that creditors were paid with in a very short span of time.
The payable procedure in HAL is though banks or the letter of Credit.
But in some cases, the payment was made after receipt & acceptance of goods.

There was gradually increase in current assets from 2007-08 to 2009-10.
The net working capital, shows the liquidity position of the company, the position is negative in all the years. This is because the govt of india advance shown in the head office account ,where as the correspondary.
The negative amount of net working capital i.e. if the current liabilities are more than current assets, it does not means that the bad profitability position of the company it happens sometimes that the net working capital may be negative.
The EBIT shows the profitability position of the year, 2007-08,2008-09and2009-10.
The liability shown in current liability , by in the govt of advance in current assets the current ratio will be 2 for all the years . hence the liquidity position is good for all year.
FINDING SUGGESTION &CONCLUSION
FINDINGS
1.HAL NPAT is increasing from last year and the growth is remarkable .
2. HAL has shown that it is very strong completion in AIR CRAFT sector in India.
3. Overall ratio of the company are good and company need to work with more efficiency.
4. The additional capacity of Sair AIR craft production at ORISSA will create new milestones for HAL ltd.
5 .HAL investment policies are very much reliable.
6. Position of stock is increasing per year that is good sign to face the competition coming ahead.
7. Highest ever net profit of RS 378 Cores. SUGGETIONS
Suggestion of remedial measures to improve the working capital position of the company.
The working capital of an organization has a great importance in their day-today’s activities .If the working capital is not properly met than the organization met than the organization met suffer from serious crisis.
The organization must take necessary steps to raise the interest on loans and advances in order to increase the revenue sources of HAL.
To maintain a good current ratio, it must try to increase the amount of current assets.
As the analysis reveals, the division is facing a problem of liquidity due to the reason that the payment to be received from the debtors is not realized in the time.
That is the collection period is much more than the required. So, the HAL, Engine Division, koraput has to be strict to its
debtors by reducing the credit period allowed so as to improve its efficiency by managing the working.
CONCLUSION
Working capital of a business reflects the short-term use of funds. These are cash short-term securities, amount receivable, and inventories of raw materials, work in progress & finished goods.
It is also referred as to the funds required for operations of the business. It follows a cyclic process of conversion of cash into inventory, inventory into receivables & receivable into cash.
The determinates of working capital are nature of business manufacturing cycles, credit policy, availability of raw material, availability of credit, growth & expansion activities & other factors.
The working is an organization mainly depends on the analysis of the management of receivable, cash & inventory & finally the organization profit & loss account, balance sheet highlights the working capital status whether it is healthy or not.
