EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) is a Multistate Co-operative
Society. It was a unique venture in which the farmers of the country through their own Co-
operative Societies created this new institution to safeguard their interests. IFFCO
manufactures Urea and NPK/ DAP fertilizers and sells them to the co-operative societies.
The project is Working Capital Management of IFFCO. The objectives of the project are:
To analyse the working capital and working capital management policies at IFFCO
To analyse the cash management practices at IFFCO
The study is mainly based on the secondary data which refers to that form of information that
has already been collected and is available. The analysis of working capital is based on ratio
analysis to monitor overall trends in working capital and to identify areas requiring closer
management.
Working capital is not measurable by only current assets & current liabilities but there are
some other factors also that have an influence on the working capital. From the analysis of
the components of working capital, it was found that the organization is utilizing its funds
properly, the inventory is managed efficiently and the organization is able to get sufficient
short term financing. It is clear that the working capital of IFFCO is in sound position. The
suggestions can be made in the management of inventory by implementation of JIT or
Kanban and management of liquid assets including the subsidy provided by the government.
The Cash Management System at IFFCO is very sound and efficient. It has enabled the
organization to manage its funds in a proper manner resulting in better utilization and
availability of funds in cash deficit periods. IFFCO has a tie up with banks such as IOB,
HSBC Bank, ICICI Bank that are providing IFFCO with facilities such as cash management
services, personalized financial MIS to enable IFFCO to accelerate the collection and
payment of funds, debit sweep option, Anywhere banking facility, etc. The suggestion that
can be given to the organization is the implementation of RTGS (Real Time Gross
Settlement) and NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer) facilities which will improve the
cash transfer at IFFCO.

IFFCO – THE ORGANIZATION
5
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited
(IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967
as a Multi-unit Co-operative Society. It was a
unique venture in which the farmers of the
country through their own Co-operative
Societies created this new institution to
safeguard their interests. The numbers of co-
operative societies associated with IFFCO have
risen from 57 in 1967 to 38, 155 at present. On
the enactment of the Multistate Cooperative Societies act 1984 & 2002, the Society is
deemed to be registered as a Multistate Cooperative Society. The byelaws of the Society
provide a broad frame work for the activities of IFFCO as a Cooperative Society.
IFFCO commissioned an Ammonia - urea complex at Kalol and the NPK/DAP plant at
Kandla both in the state of Gujarat in 1975. Another Ammonia - urea complex was set up at
Phulpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981. The ammonia - urea unit at Aonla was
commissioned in 1988.
In 1993, IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programme of all the four plants under
overall aegis of IFFCO VISION 2000. The expansion projects at Aonla, Kalol, Phulpur and
Kandla have been completed on schedule. Thus all the projects conceived as part of Vision
2000 have been realised without time or cost overruns. All the production units of IFFCO
have established a reputation for excellence and quality.
A new growth path has been chalked out to realise newer dreams and greater heights through
Vision 2010 which is presently under implementation. As part of the new vision, IFFCO has
acquired fertiliser unit at Paradeep in Orissa in September 2008. As a result of these
expansion projects and acquisition, IFFCO's annual capacity has been increased to 3.69
million tonnes of Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 1.71 million tonnes of P2O5.

BIO – FERTILISERSBio-fertilisers are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen when suitable crops are inoculated
with them. Bio-fertilisers are low cost, effective, environmental friendly and renewable
source of plant nutrients to supplement fertilisers. Integration of chemical, organic and
biological sources of plant nutrients and their management is necessary for maintaining soil
health for sustainable agriculture. The bacterial organisms present in the bio-fertiliser either
fix atmospheric nitrogen or solubilise insoluble forms of soil phosphate. The range of
nitrogen fixed per ha/year varies from crop to crop; it is 80 - 85 kg for cow pea, 50 - 60 kg for
groundnut, 60 - 80 kg for soybean and 50 - 55 kg for moongbean.

Business and Financial Review of Subsidiaries and AssociatesEven in the year of global economic meltdown, the business portfolio has been steadily
growing in tandem with the high growth aspirations. The organization have stepped up
investments in related businesses through various Joint Ventures and Associate Companies in
order to strengthen themselves further by looking at new opportunities that are unfolding and
create value addition in the core fertiliser sector.
On 31st March 2009, the total investments were Rs. 914 Crore in comparison to Rs.770.57
Crore on 31st March 2008 as per the following break-up:

Investment in Jt. Ventures/Subsidiaries 888.27 750.13
Investment in Business Associates 25.73 20.44
Total 914.00 770.57
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEAs per its tradition, the Society has again exhibited an impressive financial performance in all
its major parameters, namely, Revenue Growth and Resource Utilisation, testifying to the
robustness of its Corporate Strategy of creating multiple drivers of growth in spite of
constraints in the availability of raw materials, the Global Economic Meltdown and
inordinate delays in receipt of large subsidy amounts from the Government of India. This was
possible due to higher production, sales volume and improvement in operating efficiencies.
The Society achieved the highest ever sales turnover of Rs 32,933 Crore. This represents an
increase of 170 per cent over the previous year. While, the sales volume of fertiliser material
increased by 20 per cent to 112.58 lakh MT fertiliser during 2012-13, as against 93.24 lakh
MT in the previous year, the major increase in the sales turnover was on account of
18
substantial increase in the commodity prices. The performance is even more satisfying when
viewed in the light of the challenging business environment of the fertiliser industry.

Value AddedValue Added is the wealth which an enterprise has been able to create through the collective
effort of capital, management and employees. In economic terms, value added is the market
price of the output of an enterprise less the price of the goods and services acquired by
transfer. Value Added can provide a useful measure in gauging performance and activity of
the company.

accounting principles, require estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the
reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Difference between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in
which the results materialise.

Schedule- XIV of Companies Act.
(g) Additions to assets are depreciated for the full year irrespective of the date
of addition and no depreciation is provided on assets sold/ discarded
during the year. However, in the case of capitalisation of project,
depreciation is provided on a pro-rata basis from the date of
commencement of commercial production.
(h) Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives but not
exceeding ten years when the asset is available for use.
9. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
(a) Provisions are recognised for liabilities that can be measured by using a substantial
degree of estimation, if:
i) The Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event;
ii) A probable outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
expected to
settle the obligation; and
iii) The amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

paid for such leases are recognised as an expense on straight line basis over the term
of lease.
11. Prior Period Income / Expenditure
Income/Expenditure items relating to prior period(s) not exceeding Rs.2,00,000/- each
is treated as Income/ Expenditure for the current year.

WORKING CAPITAL RATIO ANALYSIS
The main purposes of Working Capital Ratio Analysis are:
To indicate working capital management performance; and
To assist in identifying areas requiring closer management
Three key points need to be taken into account when analyzing financial ratios. These
key points are as follows:
The results are based on highly summarized information. Consequently, situations,
which require control, might not be apparent, or situations, which do not warrant
significant effort, might be unnecessarily highlighted.
Different departments face very different situations. Comparisons between them, or
with global “ideal” ratio values, can be misleading.
Ratio analysis is somewhat one-sided; favourable results mean little, whereas
unfavourable results are usually significant.
However, financial ratio analysis is valuable because it raises questions and indicates
directions for more detailed investigation.
Sources of CashThe various sources of cash that provide the money to fund the working capital include the
following:
Existing cash reserves
Payables (credit from suppliers)
New equity or loans from shareholders
Bank overdrafts or lines of credit
Long term loans
Profit or net income
Inventory ManagementInventories constitute the most significant part of current assets. Inventories are stock of the
product, a company is manufacturing for sale and components to make that product. The
various forms of inventory in a fertilizer manufacturing company are:
25
Raw Materials are those basic inputs that are converted into the finished products through
the process of manufacturing.
Work-In-Progress inventories are semi-manufactured products.
Finished Goods inventories are completely manufactured products.
Stores & Spares, loose tools, chemical catalysts, packing & Construction materials
OBJECTIVES OF INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The problems faced by an organization in the context of inventory management are:
To maintain a large size of inventory for efficient and smooth production & sales
operation
To maintain minimum investment in inventories to maximize profitability
To ensure continuous supply of materials, spares & finished goods.
To avoid both overstocking & under stocking of inventory
To eliminate duplicate stock orders. This is possible with the help of a centralized
purchasing system.
To design proper organization for inventory management
Both Excessive & Inadequate Inventories are not desirable. The objective of Inventory
Management is to determine & maintain the optimum level of inventory investment. The
optimum level of inventory will lie between two danger points of excessive & inadequate
inventories.
Excessive stocks can place a heavy burden on the cash resources of a business.
Insufficient stocks can result in lost sales, delays for customers etc.
The key is to know how quickly the stocks are moving or how long each item of stock sits on
shelves before being sold. Average stock holding periods are influenced by the nature of the
business.
The key issue for a business is to identify the fast and slow stock movers with the objective
of establishing optimum stock levels for each category and thereby minimize the cash tied up
in the stocks.
Factors to be considered when determining the optimum stock levels include:
What are the projected sales of each product?
How widely available are each component, raw materials, etc.?
How long does it take for delivery by the suppliers?
26
Can one remove the slow movers from one’s product range without compromising on
the best- sellers?
27
For better stock control, following measures can be adopted:
Review the effectiveness of existing purchasing & inventory systems.
Know the stock turnover for all major items of inventory.
Apply tight controls to the significant few items & supply control for the remaining.
Sell off outdated or slow moving merchandise.
Consider the idea of outsourcing the manufacturing of the product to another
manufacturer.
Review security procedures to minimize losses through deterioration, pilferage,
wastage & damages.
To facilitate furnishing of data for short-term & long-term planning & control of
inventory
Receivable ManagementAccounts Receivable refers to the amount owed by the debtors to the business. They are
usually created because of trade credit that is given to the customers of the business.
These receivables have three characteristics:
It involves an element of risk, which should be carefully analyzed.
It is based on economic value
It implies futurity.
To maintain a proper flow of funds in the business in order to make timely payments to the
creditors, to buy raw materials & to run the day-to-day activities of the business, it is essential
that the debtors make their payments on time. The interval between the date of sale & the
date of payment has to be financed out of the working capital. Thus, trade debtors represent
investment.
Objectives of Receivable Management
The objective of Receivable Management is to promote sales & profits until that point is
reached where the returns that the company gets from funding receivables is less than the
cost that the company has to incur in order to fund these receivables. However, to maintain
these receivables the company has to incur certain costs such as:
28
Additional fund requirements for the company – When a firm maintains
receivables, some of its resources remain blocked in them so to finance the activities
during that time gap the firm requires funds.
Administrative Costs
Collecting Costs
Defaulting Costs
The size of receivables or investment in Receivable Management is determined by the
firm’s credit policy & level of sales. Receivable management is the process of making the
decision of selection of trade debtors in which the funds could be invested or to whom money
can be given.
Receivable management involves the careful consideration of the following aspects: -
Forming the credit policy
Executing the credit policy
Formulating & executing the collection policy
The Credit Policy is the policy followed by the company with respect to the credit standards
adopted, any incentive in the form of cash discount offered, and also the period over which
the discount can be utilized by the customers & the collection effort made by the company.
All these variables underlying a company’s credit policy influence the volume of sales and
hence the profits of the company.
Cash Management
Cash, the most liquid asset and also referred to as the life blood of a business enterprise and
is of vital importance to the daily operations of the business firms. Its efficient management
is crucial to the solvency of the business because cash is the focal point of the fund flows in a
business. If a business has no cash and no way of getting any cash, it will have to close down.
Cash Management is concerned with the managing of:
Cash flows into and out of the firm.
Cash flows within the firm
29
Cash balances held by the firm at a point of time for financing deficits or investing
Surplus cash.
Cash Management refers to management of cash balance and the bank balance and also
short term deposits. The term cash may be used in two different ways:
1) It may include currency, cheques, drafts, demand deposits held by the firm i.e. pure
cash or generally accepted cash equivalents.
2) In a broader sense, it also includes near cash assets such as marketable securities and
short term deposits with banks. For cash management purposes, the term cash is
used in this broader sense i.e. it covers cash, cash equivalents and those assets which
are immediately convertible to cash.
Objectives of Cash Management
The cash management strategies are generally built around two goals:
To provide cash needed to meet the obligations, and
To minimize the idle cash held by the firm
The risk return trade-off of any firm can be reduced to two prime objectives for the firm’s
Cash Management System:
1) Meeting the Cash Outflows: This will help the firm in avoiding the chance to
default in meeting financial obligations otherwise the goodwill of the firm is
adversely affected. Also this will further help in availing the opportunities of getting
cash discounts by making early or prompt payments and meeting unexpected cash
outflows without much problem.
2) Minimizing the Cash Balance
30
Loans and AdvancesLoans and Advances are one of the important factors of working capital. In current assets
loans and advances play a significant role. When we talk about the working capital
management it is necessary to consider Loans & Advances, as they are a major component of
Current assets and along with the equity of the company for a source of generating cash in the
organization.
While analyzing the loans & advances position of IFFCO the following ratios have to be
calculated for better understanding i.e.
Loans and advances to Current Assets ratio
Loans and advances to Working capital ratio
Operating CycleOperating Cycle is the times duration required to convert sales, after the conversion of
resources into inventories, into cash. The operating cycle of a manufacturing company
involves three phases:
Acquisition of resources such as raw material, labour, power and fuel etc.
Manufacture of the product which includes conversion of raw material into work-
in-progress into finished goods.
Sale of the product either for cash or on credit. Credit sales create account receivable
for collection.

Operating Cycle
The operating cycles are of two types:
1. Gross Operating Cycle
2. Net Operating Cycle or Cash Conversion Cycle
Gross Operating Cycle
Gross operating cycle is a tool which measures the total number of days from the day the
purchases are made or the stock arrives to the day all the collections are made. Cash is said to
be blocked till the collections have been collected. So the sooner the cash is received from the
consumers the better is for the company as they get cash for further production. Gross
Operating Cycle is given as follows:
Operating cycle (OC) =
Days Inventory Outstanding(DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding(DSO)
Cash Conversion Cycle
The cash conversion cycle (also referred to as CCC or the net operating cycle) is the
analytical tool of choice for determining the investment quality of two critical assets -
inventory and accounts receivable. The CCC tells us the time (number of days) it takes to
convert these two important assets into cash. A fast turnover rate of these assets is what
creates real liquidity and is a positive indication of the quality and the efficient management
of inventory and receivables.
The cash conversion cycle is comprised of three standard, so-called activity ratios relating to
the turnover of inventory, trade receivables and trade payables. These components of the
CCC can be expressed as a number of times per year or as a number of days.
CCC = Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
- Days Payable Outstanding (DPO)
32
The cash conversion cycle (CCC) measures how fast a company can convert cash on hand
into even more cash on hand. The CCC does this by following the cash as it is first converted
into inventory and accounts payable (AP), through sales and accounts receivable (AR), and
then back into cash. Generally, the lower this number is the better for the company.
The components of CCC are calculated as follows:
Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO)
This addresses the question of how many days it takes to sell the entire inventory. The
smaller this number is the better.
Days Inventory
Outstanding
(DIO)
=
Average Inventory
Cost of Goods sold (COGS) /
365
Broadly, the smaller number of days, the more efficient a company - inventory is held
for less time and less money is tied up in inventory. Instead, money is freed up for
things like research and development, marketing or even share buybacks and dividend
payments. If the number of days is high, that could mean that sales are poor and
inventories are piling up in warehouses.
If inventory days are increasing, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Companies
normally let inventories build up when they are introducing a new product in the
market or ahead of a busy sales period. However, if you don’t foresee an obvious
pickup in demand coming, the increase could mean that unsold goods will simply
collecting dust in the stockroom.
Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
This looks at the number of days needed to collect on sales and involves Accounts
Receivables. While cash-only sales have a DSO of zero, people do use credit
extended by the company, so this number is going to be positive. Again, smaller is
better.
Days Sales
Outstanding (DSO)=
Average Accounts Receivable
Net Sales / 365
If a company's collection period is growing longer, it could mean problems ahead.
The company may be letting customers stretch their credit in order to recognize
greater top-line sales and that can spell trouble later on especially if customers face a
cash crunch. Getting money right away is preferable to waiting for it - especially since
33
some of what is owed may never get paid. The quicker a company gets its customers
to make payments, the sooner it has cash to pay for salaries, merchandise and
equipment, loans and, best of all, dividends and growth opportunities.
Days Payables Outstanding (DPO)
This involves the company's payment of its own bills or Accounts Payables. If this
can be maximized, the company holds onto cash longer, maximizing its investment
potential; therefore, a longer DPO is better.
Days Payable

Key Ratios
The ratios can be divided into following categories according to financial activity or
functions to be evaluated:
Ratios related to Inventory Management
Ratios related to Receivables Management
Ratios related to Cash Management
Profitability Ratios
Ratios related to Inventory Management
1. Inventory Turnover Ratio
2. Inventory to Working Capital Ratio
3. Inventory to Current Assets Ratio
4. Inventory to Sales Ratio
34
1. Inventory Turnover Ratio
The inventory turnover measures that how well the company can manage to sell its
inventory. Another way of saying is how efficiently the company turns inventory into
sales. The purpose is to ensure the blocking of only required minimum funds in
inventory.
Importance of Inventory Turnover
If the company can quickly sell its inventory, the inventory turnover will be higher.
Conversely, if the company cannot sell its inventory well, then the inventory turnover
will be low. One has to watch this figure closely – if the inventory ratio climbs too
high, then the company may be keeping too little inventory. This could cause lost
profits due to customer orders that had to wait until inventory arrived.

Turnover Ratio=
Cost of Goods sold (COGS)
Average Inventory
2. Inventory to Working Capital ratio
The inventory to working capital ratio measures how well the company is able to
generate cash using working capital at its current inventory level. This ratio shows the
relationship between investments made in inventory & the total net investment in
working capital. Inventory is an important part of working because of its direct impact
on the profits of the organization. The value of inventory is susceptible to changing
price levels, fluctuation in business activities, variation in consumer demand,
obsolescence & other unpredictable factors that determine the market conditions.
Therefore, working capital should be sufficient to provide a cover for the possible
losses in inventory value.
Importance of Inventory to Working Capital
An increasing Inventory to Working Capital ratio is generally a negative sign,
showing the company may be having operational problems. If a company has too
much Working Capital invested in Inventory, they may have difficulty having enough
Working Capital to make payments on Short-Term Liabilities and Accounts Payable.
This is a great ratio to be used with several others to really pick apart the inner
workings of a company.
Inventory to
Working Capital
= Inventory X 100Working Capital
35
3. Inventory to Current Assets Ratio
Inventory is one of the largest components of the current assets. The position of
inventory indicates operational efficiency of organization. The inventory to current
assets ratio measures how much percentage of current assets is formed by the
inventories. This ratio is essential as inventories are the most illiquid of all current
assets as sometimes it becomes difficult to convert inventory ( raw materials, work-in-
progress and finished products ) into cash on a short notice.Importance of inventory to current assets
An increasing inventory to current assets ratio is a negative sign. It means that more &
more percentage of current assets is being constituted by the inventories. This
indicates poor operational efficiency of the organization. Also it shows that the funds
invested in current assets to meet obligations on a short notice are actually illiquid to
some extent & it may be difficult to convert them into cash immediately. On the other
hand, if the position of inventory is lower in current assets, it indicates higher
operational efficiency of the organization. Normally, less than 50 % of current assets
are treated as average position of inventory.
Inventory to Current Assets
Ratio
= Inventory X 100Current Assets
4. Inventory to Sales Ratio
The Inventory to Sales ratio measures the percentage of inventory the company
currently has on hand to support the current amount of sales.
Importance of Inventory to Sales
An increasing Inventory to Sales ratio is generally a negative sign, showing the
company may be having trouble keeping inventory down and/or Net Sales have
slowed, and can sometimes indicate larger financial problems the company may be
facing. Viewing this ratio over several periods reveals the important aspect of the
company's ability to manage inventory while attempting to increase sales. It is also
important to compare this ratio among several companies to gauge how well each one
performs, and to compare their ratios to industry averages.
Inventory to = Inventory X 100

Ratios related to Receivable Management
1. Debtors turnover ratio
2. Average collection period
3. Debtors to current assets ratio
4. Debtors to working capital ratio
5. Debt to Equity Ratio
1. Debtors Turnover Ratio
This ratio is also known as Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio. Accounts
Receivable is the amount that customers owe the company. The Accounts
Receivable Turnover measures the number of times Accounts Receivables were
collected during the year. This is also a measure of how well the company collects
sales on credit from its customers, just as Average Collection Period measures this in
days.
Importance of Accounts Receivable Turnover
A high or increasing Accounts Receivable Turnover is usually a positive sign –
showing the company is successfully executing its credit policies and quickly turning
its Accounts Receivables into cash. A possible negative aspect to an increasing
Accounts Receivable Turnover is that the company may be too strict in its credit
policies and missing out on potential sales.
Debtor Turnover Ratio = Net Sales
Average Accounts Receivable
37
2. Average Collection Period
The Average Collection Period measures the average number of days it takes for the
company to collect revenue from its credit sales. The Average Daily Sales is the Net
Sales divided by 365 days in the year. The company will usually state its credit
policies in its financial statement, so the Average Collection Period can be easily
gauged as to whether or not it is indicating positive or negative information.
Importance of Average Collection Period
This ratio reflects how easily the company can collect on its customers. It also can be
used as a gauge of how loose or tight the company maintains its credit policies. A
particular thing to watch out for is if the Average Collection Period is rising over
time. This could be an indicator that the company's customers are in trouble, which
could spell trouble ahead. This could also indicate the company has loosened its
credit policies with customers, meaning that they may have been extending credit to
companies where they normally would not have. This could temporarily boost sales,
but could also result in an increase in sales revenue that cannot be recovered, as
shown in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
Average Collection
Period=
360
Debtor Turnover Ratio
3. Debtors to Current Assets Ratio
Debtor to current assets ratio indicates the position of debtors in total current assets.
This ratio is calculated by debtors with current assets. Debtors are one of the largest
components of current assets. If debtors are average or less than average, it indicates
proper realization of debtors. On the other hand, if debtors are very heavy on respect
of other current assets, it indicates poor recovery of the company.
Debtors to Current Assets
Ratio
= Debtors X 100Current Assets
38
4. Debtors to Working Capital Ratio
Debtor to working capital ratio is one of the important ratios for analysis of working
capital management. Working capital is directly related with the position of debtors. If
debtors are lower as compared to working capital, it indicates proper and smooth
utilization of working capital. But on the other hand, the amount of debtor is very
large in that condition, working capital blocked and operational efficiency is directly
affected.
Debtors to Working
Capital Ratio
= Debtors X 100Working Capital
5. Debt to Equity Ratio
Debt to Equity ratio describes the lenders contribution for each rupee of the owners’
contribution. The ratio is directly computed by dividing total debt by equity or net
worth.
Debt to Equity
Ratio=
Debt
Equity
Importance of Debt to Equity Ratio
The ratio shows the extent to which debt financing has been used in the business. A
high ratio means that claims of creditors are greater than those of owners. A high level
of debt introduces inflexibility in the firm’s operations due to the increasing
interference and pressure from creditors. A low debt-equity ratio implies a greater
claim of owners than capital.
Ratios Related to Cash Management
1. Working capital ratio or current ratio
2. Liquid ratio or Acid-test ratio
3. Cash to current assets ratio
4. Sales to current assets ratio
5. Working capital turnover ratio
6. Sales to working capital ratio
39
1. Working Capital Ratio or Current Ratio
The working capital ratio (or current ratio) attempts to measure the level of liquidity,
that is, the level of safety provided by the excess of current assets over current
liabilities. The current ratio compares all the Current Assets of a company to all the
Current Liabilities. What this ratio basically tells us is if the company had to sell all
its readily available assets, would it be able to pay off its immediate debt?
Importance of Working capital ratio or current ratio
At a minimum, you would hope the company whose financial performance you are
analyzing could meet to pay its Current Liabilities if it were to liquidate all its Current
Assets. This would translate to a Current Ratio of 1:1 - the point where the Current
Assets equal the Current Liabilities. As with all the other performance ratios, the
Current Ratio value depends on the industry in which the company is operating. It is
also important to know what assets make up most of the Current Assets. Inventory
and Accounts Receivable, which are part of the Current Assets, cannot always be
counted on as easily transferred to cash. Cash and Marketable Securities comprising
the majority of the Current Assets would definitely be favorable. Knowing this, would
the company you are analyzing truly be able to meet its financial obligations is it in
fact had to sell its Current Assets? The Current Ratio rising over time will be
favorable.
Current Ratio =Current Assets
Current Liabilities
40
2. Liquid Ratio or Acid-Test Ratio or Quick Ratio
Liquid ratio is also known as Acid-test ratio or Quick ratio. Liquid ratio is a more
vigorous test of liquidity than current ratio. The term “liquidity” refers to the ability of
the firm to pay its short term obligations as & when they become due. Current assets
include inventories and prepaid expenses, which are not easily converted into cash
within a short span of time. So, quick ratio may be referred to as the relationship
between quick assets i.e. (current assets – inventories) & current liabilities. An asset is
said to be liquid if it can be converted into cash within a short span of period without
loss of value.
Importance of Liquid Ratio
If a company one is analyzing looks good while testing it against the Current Ratio,
then the Quick Ratio should be your next test to apply. Companies with steadily
rising Inventories may look good with the Current Ratio, but will have a deteriorating
effect on the Quick Ratio, since we subtract the Inventory out. The Quick Ratio rising
over time is favorable.
Quick Ratio =Current Assets – Inventories
Current Liabilities
3. Cash to Current Assets Ratio
This ratio basically measures what percentage of the current assets is formed by the
cash component. This is a more stringent measure of liquidity as it considers the most
liquid current asset.
Importance of Cash to Current Assets Ratio
High or increasing Cash to Current Assets ratio is generally a positive sign, showing
the company's liquid assets represent a larger portion of its Total Current Assets.
It also indicates the company may be better able to convert its non-liquid assets, such
as inventory, into cash.
Cash to Current Asset
Ratio=
CashX 100
Current Assets
41
4. Sales to Current Assets Ratio
The Sales to Current Assets ratio measures how well a company is making use of its
assets in generating sales. This ratio is most valid in industries where companies hold
the majority of their own inventories in-house, as opposed to having their customers
hold their inventory for them.
Importance of Sales to Current Assets
The Sales to Current Assets ratio is best measured over several periods compared to
industry averages, as the amount of Current Assets varies widely among companies
and industries. Decreasing Sales to Current Assets ratio is generally a negative
sign, indicating the company may have slowed production, decreasing the amount of
inventory and resultantly the Current Assets.
Sales to Current Asset
Ratio=
SalesCurrent Assets
5. Working Capital Turnover Ratio
The Working Capital Turnover ratio measures the company's Net Sales from the
Working Capital generated. Note that another ratio exists, the Sales to Working
Capital Ratio also measures Net Sales to Working Capital. We chose to interchange
the usual components of Working Capital (Total Current Assets - Total Current
Liabilities) with an alternate method (shown above). With two similar ratios using
slightly different methods to compute Working Capital, plotting both of these ratios
together to see their differences would be wise.
Importance of Working Capital Turnover
A high or increasing Working Capital Turnover is usually a positive sign, showing
the company is better able to generate sales from its Working Capital. Either the
company has been able to gain more Net Sales with the same or smaller amount of
Working Capital, or it has been able to reduce its Working Capital while being able to

6. Sales to Working Capital Ratio
The Sales to Working Capital ratio measures how well the company's cash is being
used to generate sales. Working Capital represents the major items typically closely
tied to sales, and each item will directly affect this ratio.
Importance of Sales to Working Capital
An increasing Sale to Working Capital ratio is usually a positive sign, indicating the
company is more able to use its working capital to generate sales. Although
measuring the performance of a company for just one period reveals how well it is
using its cash for that single period, this ratio is much more effectively used over a
number of periods. This ratio can help uncover questionable management decisions
such as relaxing credit requirements to potential customers to increase sales,
increasing inventory levels to reduce order fulfillment cycle times, and slowing
payment to vendors and suppliers in an effort to hold on to its cash.

1. Return on Assets (ROA)
ROA is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA
tells how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. The ROA
figure gives investors an idea of how effectively the company is converting the
money it has to invest into net income. The higher the ROA number, the better,
because the company is earning more money on less investment.

The return on equity is net profit after taxes divided by average equity. It measures the
rate of return on the ownership interest of the common stock owners. It measures a
firm's efficiency at generating profits from every unit of shareholders' equity. ROE
shows how well a company uses investment funds to generate earnings growth.
Return on Equity (ROE) = Profit After Tax

3. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)
ROCE is used to prove the value the business gains from its assets and liabilities, a
business which owns lots of land but has little profit will have a smaller ROCE to a
business which owns little land but makes the same profit.
It basically can be used to show how much a business is gaining for its assets, or how
much it is losing for its liabilities.
4. Net Profit Margin
Net Profit Margin ratio is measured by dividing profit after tax by sales:
Net Profit Margin = Profit After Tax
Sales
Importance of Net Profit Margin
Net profit margin ratio establishes a relationship between net profit and sales and
indicates management’s efficiency in manufacturing, administering and selling the
products. This ratio is the overall measure of the firm’s ability to turn each rupee sales
into net profit.

Debt (in Crores) Equity (in crores) Debt to Equity Ratio
Analysis
The ratio shows the extent to which debt financing has been used in the business. A high ratio
means that claims of creditors are greater than those of owners. A high level of debt
introduces inflexibility in the firm’s operations due to the increasing interference and pressure
from creditors. A low debt-equity ratio implies a greater claim of owners than capital.
At IFFCO, this ratio is increasing every year. It means that increase in debt of the
company is more than the increase in the equity. In the year 2012-13, it increased to 3.234
from 1.837 in the year 2011-12 because of the major increase in the short term loans from the
banks.

Quick Assets (in Crores) Current Liabilities (in crores)Quick Ratio
Analysis
Position of Liquid ratio is very good. The Quick Ratio of 1:1 is considered to be
satisfactory. This is so because if the quick assets are equal to the current liabilities then the
company may be able to meet its entire short-term obligations pretty conveniently.
The quick ratio of the company is above 1 for all the five years. The quick ratio was 3.161
and 3.061 during the year 2010-11and 2011-12 respectively. This is due to large amount of
inventory at IFFCO during that period. However, the reason for this is the purchase of
Paradeep production plant during that period.

being used to generate sales. Working Capital represents the major items typically closely
tied to sales, and each item will directly affect this ratio. Increasing Sales to Working Capital
ratio is usually a positive sign, indicating the company is more able to use its working capital
to generate sales.

good as it implies that the company is generating more & more sales and is able to utilize its
working capital more efficiently with the passing years. The decrease of the ratio in the previous
years was due to the increase in inventory holding which was required for the Paradeep production
plant.

ROA is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. The ROA
figure gives investors an idea of how effectively the company is converting the money it
has to invest into net income. The higher the ROA number, the better, because the company
is earning more money on less investment.
At IFFCO, the ROA is increasing from the year 2010-11 which is good for the company.
Earlier it was decreasing as there was increase in the assets due to purchase of the production
plants.

can be used to show how much a business is gaining for its assets, or how much it is losing
for its liabilities. At IFFCO, ROCE had shown variable changes. This is due to the

FINDINGS
After the analysis of the components of current assets & current liabilities and the
trends of working capital, we find that
Current assets are increasing more than current liabilities. But the current ratio has
decreased as the percentage increase in current liabilities is more than the current
assets.
Cash and Bank Balances have decreased during this period which indicates proper
utilization of funds at IFFCO.
Position of inventory is Very Good in current assets (22.564%). Inventory Turnover
Ratio increases consistently, which shows greater degree of utilization of inventory
during the study period.
Position of Debtors to Current Assets is 5.307%. This ratio had decreased during this
period with an increase in the year 2011-12. This increase was due to the significant
increase in the debts of the company.
Loans and Advances are increasing every year and contribute majorly to current
assets. This means that the company is not facing any problem to get the required
short term financing.
Large part of working capital is involved in maintaining inventory and it depends on
the level of inventory every year.
Working capital of the company had increased till 2010-11after which it has remain
constant with small changes.
Debt to equity ratio increased during the year 2012-13 as the debt increased due to
increase in short term borrowings.
Inventory as a component of current assets was high during the beginning of the
period after which it has continuously decreasing.
Net profit margin decreased in the year 2012-13 because of the significant increase in
the raw material prices and consequent increase in subsidy. Looking on the trends,
IFFCO has been able to manage the profits.
The major variation in the ratios during this period is due to the purchase of Paradeep
production plant.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Working capital is one of the most important aspects of operational efficiency of business.
Working Capital plays a very important role in the functioning of any organization. Both the
current assets and current liabilities are very much influencing factors on the working
capital of an organization.
After the discussion and analysis of the financial position of IFFCO Ltd., it is clear that the
working capital of IFFCO is in sound position. Working capital is not measurable by only
current assets & current liabilities but there are some other factors also that have an
influence on the working capital.
In current assets, there are two most important factors, Debtors and Inventory that affect
working capital. In IFFCO Ltd., Inventory and Debtors are efficiently managed to strengthen
the position of the organization both in short term and long terms.
After analyzing and interpreting the financial data of INDIAN FARMERS FERTILIZER
COOPERATIVE LIMITED (IFFCO) with the help of Ratio Analysis, the following
suggestions were given to the organization for further betterment & improvement in the
working capital:
The present status and levels of current assets is extremely good and therefore it
requires proper maintenance.
The current percentage of inventory is high which is not good for operational
efficiency and sound working capital and thus, it need to be controlled by using
various inventory management techniques such as JIT or Kanban. Another alternative
would be to have varying stock or inventory levels during the different seasons or
even months and, thereby, altering the production to suit such needs.
Cash balances have a lower percentage in current assets. This requires some concern
as cash and bank balances are the most liquid of all current assets.
As the sales turnover majorly consists of subsidiary, the company shall also depend
less on subsidy which is dependent on the annual budget fixed by the government of
India, i.e., when the total outflow of any financial year is more than the budgeted
69
subsidiary, the manufacturers/ importers have to wait for additional budget or their
subsidiary get realized in the next financial year.
As the Government of India wants the fertilizers to be supplied at minimum price,
they are compensating manufacturers/ importers by means of subsidy. The
government should device a method whereby the price of fertilizers should increase
every year to some extent. This will reduce the subsidy burden on the government and
companies will be able to realize cash against their sales.

CONCLUSION The organization IFFCO is basically a Farmer’s Organization. It functions in the
cooperative sector of India and is owned by the Government of India along with the
cooperative societies. IFFCO is one of the most profitable and financially secure
fertilizer companies in India.
The generation of funds through sale is a seasonal factor. 70% of Sales activity in the
business of fertilizers is in Monsoons and the balance 30% is spread throughout the
rest of the year. The month from April to September is known as Kharif Season and
from October to March is known as Rabi Season. Thus, it becomes imperative for the
organization to have such cash management system in place that would enable the
organization to plan the excess cash obtained during surplus periods and ploughs them
back into the operations of the organization during deficit periods.
The Cash Management System at IFFCO is very sound and efficient. It has enabled
the organization to manage its funds in a proper manner resulting in better utilization
and availability of funds in cash deficit periods.
Today IFFCO has a tie up with banks such as IOB, HSBC Bank, ICICI Bank that are
providing IFFCO with facilities such as cash management services, personalized
financial MIS to enable IFFCO to accelerate the collection and payment of funds,
debit sweep option, Anywhere banking facility, etc. All these facilities have helped
IFFCO in having faster, more secure and more reliable collection and payments of
funds and cheques from its various Area/State Offices.
However, despite all the advantages of this New Cash Management System such as
receiving the proceeds from the sale of fertilizers within First day of sale, reduction
in the amount of interest loss suffered by IFFCO due to late arrival of payments, daily
report of deposits made at various locations, location wise report, credit forecast
report, monthly cumulative report date wise/ location wise, monthly charging
statement, monthly cheque return statement, customized reports as per mutual
agreement etc. the cash management system can be further improved.
