Firms create manufacturing capacities for production of goods: some provide services to
consumers. They sell their goods or services to earn profit. They raise funds to acquire
manufacturing and other facilities. Thus, the three most important activities of a business firm
are: finance, production and marketing. A firm secures whatever capital it needs and employees
it (finance activity) in activities which generate returns on invested capital and marketing
activities.
1. Investment decision:
Investment decision or capital budgeting involves the decision of allocation of capital or
commitment of funds to long-term assets, which would yield, benefits in future. It's one very
significant aspect is the task of measuring the prospective profitability of new investments.
Future benefits are difficult to measure and cannot be predicted with certainty.
2. Financing decision:
Financing decision is the second important function to be performed by the financial
manager. Broadly, he must decide when, where and how to acquire funds to meet the firm's
investment needs. The central issue before him is to determine the proportion of equity and debt.
The mix of debt and equity is known as the firm's capital structure. The firm's capital structure is
considered to be optimum when the market value of shares is maximized.
3. Dividend decision:
Dividend decision is the third major financial decision. The financial manager must
decide whether the firm should distribute a portion and retain the balance. Like the debt policy,
the dividend policy should be determined in terms of impact on the shareholder's value. The
optimum dividend policy is one, which maximizes the market value of the firm's shares.
4. Liquidity decision:
Current assets management, which affects a firm's liquidity, is an important finance
function. Current assets should be managed efficiently for safe guarding the firm against the
dangers of liquidity and insolvency. Investment in current assets affects firm's profitability,
liquidity and insolvency. Investment in current assets affects firm's profitability, liquidity and
risk. A conflict exists between profitability and liquidity while managing current assets.
Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses
of the firm. It is done by establishing relationships between the items of financial statements viz.
balance sheet and profit and loss account. Financial analysis can be undertaken by management
of the firm or by parties outside the firm viz., owner's creditors, investors and others.
Types of analysis:
1. Vertical analysis
2. Horizontal analysis
1. Vertical Analysis:
It is the analysis of relationship as between different individual components for a given
period of time. Comparison of current assets to current liabilities or comparison of debt to equity
for one point of time is the examples of vertical analysis. It can be made in the following ways.
Method of analysis:
Now the financial analyst may use one or multiple methods. financial analysis are:
i. Comparative statements.
ii. Common size statements.
iii. Trend analysis.
iv. Ratio analysis.
v. Funds flow analysis.
vi. Cash flow analysis.
vii. Cost-volume-profit analysis (cvp analysis).
Financial Functions:
Initially the finance managers were considered advent of an event requiring funds. The
finance manager was given a target amount of funds to rise and was given a target amount of
funds to rise and was given the responsibility of procuring those Funds. So his function was
limited to raising funds as and when the need arise. Once the funds were procured, his function
was over.
However, over a period the scope of his function has tremendously widened. His
presence is required at every moment whenever any decision having involvement of funds is to
be taken.
Now it is the F.M require looking into the financial implication, of any decision in the
firm. The functions of F.M are to manage the funds. Any act. procedures, decision relating to
funds comes under the purview of the F.M. since every activity in the business organization, be it
purchases, production marketing or capital expenditure has a financial implication, the finance
function is interlinked with all areas. In particular, the FM has to focus his attention on:
1. Procurement the required quantum of funds as and when necessary, at the lowest cost.
2. Investing those funds in various assets in the most profitable way.
3. Distribute returns to the shareholders in order to satisfy their expectations from the firm.
Funds flow statement is a technical device designed to highlight the changes in the
financial condition of a business enterprise between the opening and closing balance sheet dates.
The flow of funds results in mainly profits of a business due to business operations. And has
been well said that “a business with an income at it heals furnishes always oil for its own
wheels”, it is the profit which becomes main sources of funds for a business. However profitable
companies can also be anemic with respect to working capital and since working capital is the
life blood of an enterprise, its shortage can disturb the operating cycle of the business. The
concept of ‘funds’ the flow which is to be examined in detail as to its sources and applications
so as to know the net increase or decrease in working capital over a period of time, usually a
year.
One of the most important techniques of financial analysis is a preparation of funds flow
statement. It is the statement which portrays the changes in the financial position of an
enterprise. Balance sheet and income statement do not present a comparative picture, even if
placed side by side in that much clarity as the statement of changes in financial position which
focuses on the sources and uses of funds.
Definition:
A financial statement with summary for the period covered by it, the changes in
financial position including the sources from which funds were obtained by the enterprise and
specific uses to which funds were applied. Funds flow statement in a statement either prospective
or retrospective setting out the sources and application of the funds of an enterprise. The
purpose of the statement is to indicate clearly the requirement of funds and how they are propose
to be raised and efficient utilization and application of the same.
Concept of Funds:
Funds in the narrowness sense of the term as be equated to cash. But in the broader sense
and appropriate one here, it refers to working capital that is current assets less than current
liabilities.
A still broader interpretation of the term “funds” has been given by some accountants,
and according to them funds includes all resources used in the business whether in the form of
human, material, money, machinery and other. But it is not relevant for the purpose of flow
statement. The most common definition of fund is working capital since they use the term
working capital as synonym to current assets.
CONCEPT of Flow:
The dictionary meaning of the word flow is movement denoting change Therefore,
whenever there is a change of funds that is either increase or decrease there is a flow of funds.
There must be some cause of change- the cause may result in either raising the funds inflow of
funds there by becoming a source of fund or the cause may lead depletion of funds that is out of
funds, implying there by an application or use of funds in other words source of funds show the
reasons of increase in funds that is working capital and application of funds reveal the reasons of
decrease in funds that is working capital.
The meaning of funds flow or flow of funds illustrates the concept of funds flow
statement clearly the statement which analysis the flow of funds that is the reasons for changes in
working capital is a funds flow statement.
The reasons are set by the sources and application of funds and therefore the statement can be
called as the statement of sources an application (uses) of funds. Some accountants prefer to call
it in short as fund and to which place have gone. It is also designated as where got and where
(movements) of working capital, movements of flow statements etc.
The information which is provided by funds flow statement is neither available in the
balance sheet nor in the income statement and hence it’s important. The changes which have
taken place in between two accounting dates are highlighted by funds flow statement. A lay man
cannot grasp the underlying significance of achievements and progress of the company simply
by a personal of the balance sheet and income statement of different years. The comparative and
analytical study presented by the statement giving the details of sources and uses of funds during
a given period of immense help to the users of information.
It is very useful tool in analytical kit of the management also, besides the outsiders, in order to
have ‘at a glance’ appraisal of the financial and operating performance of a company. Since the
statement shows the extent to which the working capital has been effectively put to use, the
management’s task of taking policy decision regarding investment, dividends etc, is great
facilitated.
❖ Informative value:-
A projected funds flow statement can be prepared and resources can be properly
allocated after an analysis of the present state of affairs. The optimal utilization of available
funds are necessary for the overall growth of the enterprise. The funds flow statement
prepared in advance given a clear direction to the management in this raged.
❖ Testing value:- Whether the working capital has been effectively used or not by the
management can well be tested by funds flow statement. Whether working capital has
been maintained at proper level, and whether it is adequate or inadequate can be known
by a study of the statement. The management is warned against the injudicious uses of
funds.
Decision-making value:
Since overall credit worthiness of the enterprise is known, creditors and money
lenders can decide as to whether they have to provide loans to company or not. The sources of
raising funds and their application help the shareholders to decide whether the management of
the business is an enlightened or not regarding managing funds. Mismanagement of funds may
be prevented. The management can be decided about the future financing policies and capital.
Every company needs to know the flow of funds both inflow and outflow. So that the
efficiency in utilizing the funds can be better to understand. For this the present analysis through
funds flow statement will be helpful.
The main need for the study is to study the operating activities, investing activities and
Financing activities in the Penna Cement Industries Limited and methods to evaluate the
financial performance of the company, with the help of Funds flow to evaluate the pattern of the
firm.
The importance of cash management is so essential in any organization to run the
business with continuous basis. The present study also attempts to know the “cash management
system in selected in selected organization”.
The present study focuses on sources of funds and application of funds for a period of
time. The study is confirmed to find out the changes in the financial position of the Penna
Cement Financial Services Limited between the beginning and ending financial Year. It is a
technical device designed to analyze the changes in the financial condition of the business
enterprises between two dates.
This funds flow statement is a statement which indicates various means by which the
funds have been obtained during a certain period and the ways to which these funds have
been used during the period.
The term funds used here means working capital that is the excess of current assets
over current liabilities. It is an essential tool for the financial analysts and is of primary
importance to the financial management.
Now a days it is being widely used by the financial analyst credit granting
institutions and financial managers. The basic purpose of the funds flow statement is to
reveal the changes in the working capital on the two balance sheet dates. It helps in the
analysis of financial operations. It helps in the formation of realistic dividend policy. It helps
in the proper allocation of resources. It helps in appraising the use of working capital and
finally it acts as future guide.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Cement Industry has been decontrolled from price and distribution on 1 st March
1989 and de – licensed on 25th July 1991. However, the performance of the industry and prices
of cement are monitored regularly. Being a key infra structure industry.
The constraints faced by the industry are reviewed in the Infrastructure Coordination
Committee meetings held in the Cabinet Secretariat under the Chairmanship of Secretary
(Coordination). The Committee on Infrastructure also reviews its performance. The industry is
subject to quality control order issued on 17.2.2003 to ensure quality standards.
CEMENT INDUSTRY IN INDIA:
In India it came to be established during the beginning of 20th century. In fact the cement
era in India commenced with the establishment of a small cement factory at
WASHERMANPET in 1904 by South India industry Ltd. a company that dates to 1879. The
potential capacity of this plant was only 10,000 metric tons per annum. This was the first attempt
of manufacturing Portland cement with cat carious seashells as a principal raw material. There
was sufficient demand for that product, but because of technological defects and inadequate
supply of raw materials, the plant did not operate economically, a later on collapsed.
India is ranked fourth in the world after China, Japan, and USA in cement production.
Yet the per-capital consumption of cement in India however low at 70 to 80 kgs against the
world average of around 220kgs.
In 1995, one more factory was established at Panyam in Kurnool Dist., named as Panyam
Cement and mineral industries. At the same time one more factory has been established at
Maacherla in Guntur district. At the end of July 1985 the total capital invested on cement
industry was Rs.427.81 lakhs and provided employment for 1262 persons and 19 factories were
functioning with a production of 85lakh tones.
The Cement Corporation of India, which is a central public sector undertaking, has 10
units. Besides, there are 10 large cement plants owned by various state Governments. Keeping
in view the past trends, a production target of 133 million tons has been set for the year 2016 –
17. During the Tenth Plan, the Industry is expected to grow at the rate of 10% per annum and is
expected to add capacity of 40 – 52 million tons.
Mainly through expansion of existing plants and use of more fly ash in the production of
cement. A part from meeting the domestic demand, the cement Industry also contributes towards
exports. The export of cement and clinker during the last three years is as under:-
Export of Cement:
(In million tons)
Technological advancements:
Indian cement industry is modern and uses latest technology. Only a small
segment of industry is using old technology based on wet and semi-dry process. Efforts are being
made to recover waste heat and success in this area has been significant.
India is also producing different varieties of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement
(OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil
Well Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, White
Cement, etc. Production of these varieties of cement conforms to the BIS Specifications. It is
worth mentioning that some cement plants have set up dedicated jetties for promoting bulk
transportation and export.
Another large consumer has been the roads sector. The off take was good when the
NHDP programme was launched but there was a Null last year. “Once again new orders have
been placed and in 2006, the industry will pick up. The estimate is that from roads, demand is
not more than 4-5 million tones but it makes a difference in the growth numbers”.
The industry has been adding capacity of 6-7 million per annum by Brownfield
expansion and de-bottlenecking which is expected to partly cater to the requirement because it is
growing by around 20 million tons per annum.
Freight problems:
The importance of freight for the cement industry cannot be emphasized enough.
While in the last few months’ railways have been steadily losing freight to road sector they have
been confined cement to market-is around Rs.350-400 a ton or Rs.20 and bag that could go as
high a Rs.800 for long leads. This would only easy the first level of sale and additional costs are
involved to take it further.
Another issue, which will hit the industry hard, is that of logistics and a Supreme
Court judgment on carrying capacity for trucks. Accordingly, a state govt. has been directed to
enforce the discipline that trucks only carry a specified load. “Many states and already
implementing this and there is already an increase in freight rates and in some cases, it has gone
up by 50%. Also, the requirement for trucks to carry the same freight has nearly doubled and in
many places the industry is being forced to move to railways.”
High taxes:
While the railways have had capacity to meet the requirement, it is expected that in
March the commencement of peak season for the procurement of food grains, the railways would
be constrained to provide adequate number of wagons.
So fright rates are up, railways cannot provide wagons and trucks are unlikely to be
viable so there could be a serious dislocation of supplies going forward.According to the cement
manufactures association total taxes and duties on cement come to around Rs.900 a ton or Rs. 45
a bag. “So at a price of Rs.150 a bag in the market, taxes and duties account for one third. Which
is high for such a basic product. This includes excise duty, sales tax and royalty on limestone.
The importance of limestone can only be underscored as for every ton of cement
produced. 1.5tons of limestone is required. “For limestone, royalty is on a per ton basis at Rs. 40
whereas for most minerals it is a percentage of the pithead cost. Effectively we are paying Rs.70
a ton for limestone as royalty. VAT is at 12.5% without any justification and it should be in 4%
category, excise is at Rs.408 per ton when it should be around Rs.200.
Export Advantages:
From a modest beginning if 1.6 lacks tons in 1989-90, Indian exports of cement/clinker
have grown rapidly at about 30-40% and this year exports will cross 10 million tons.
Overall, the industry is in a better state today than 2 years ago. “Cement prices even
today are way below global levels. So setting up Greenfield capacities is not attractive, as
prices will not give attractive returns on investment. That is a minor reason why there is no
Greenfield capacity coming up. It has to be born in mind that one third of the prices is
accounted for by taxes and duties and nearly 20-25% by the freight component. So what
produces earn at the factory gate is among the lowest in the world.”
This year 2021 has commenced on a good note and in fact, December was a very good
month with dispatches at 12.5 million tons and January dispatches were in excess of 13
million tons.
“This means capacity utilization is in the nineties which is healthy and will actually lead
to firming up of prices. It looks like sales could be 137 million a ton for 2020-21(125 million
tons in 2019-20) and so far growth has been 10%. There are enough reasons to believe it will
sustain.”

Quarry:
Major raw material for cement industry. The quarry has a mining lease of 235.52 acres in
Talaricheruvu village. 440.47 acres in Urichintala village and 629.75 acres in Korumanipalli
village of Kurnool district.
RAW MATERIALS :
Limestone:
Limestone is the major raw material for the cement industry. Limestone constitutes 60 to
70 percent of the total raw material costs. Nearly 1.5 – 1.6 tons of limestone is required for
producing one ton of cement clinker limestone (calcium carbonate) is a rock of either
sedimentary or metamorphic origin with calcium oxide as its main constituent. In India
limestone occurs mainly as sedimentary rocks and constitutes 30 percent of the total sedimentary
rocks in the country. Cement grade limestone is available in 21 states in the country. About 65
percent of the cement plants in India uses sedimentary limestone and 20 percent use
metamorphic crystalline limestone. India has 85,980 million tones of cement grade limestone
deposits, which is enough to produce 100 million tones of cement for the next 500 years.
Total reserve
No. of years limestone reserve would last = -------------------------------------
Avg., limestone Consumption
It is quite clear that India’s limestone reserves are adequate for the next several years.
More over new reserves would be discovered every year Limestone is mixed extensively in India
and ranks second in production next to coal mining. Major portion of limestone mining portion
of limestone mining is for cement industry (nearly 75% to 80%) therefore the demand supply
situation is quite comfortable.
In India limestone deposits are abundantly found only in Siroly (Rajasthan), Santna,
Belaspur (M.P., wadi (Karnataka), Tadipatri (A.P.) and some places in Gujarat. Units are
generally located in close proximity of limestone deposits in Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
The quality of required for the cement production should have the following composition.
Lime : 50%
Silicon : 3%
Aluminum : 4%
Iron oxide : 0.50%
Magnesium : 0.50%
Loss on Ignition : 42%
Total : 100%
If Magnesium content exceeds 0.4-0.5 percent, the limestone is not suitable for cement.
Similarly, lime content is directly proportional to the clinker and cement quality and quantity.
GYPSUM:
Inputs:
Although limestone is the major raw material for cement industry, the critical raw
material is energy. How well the company uses coal and electricity and how much it costs will
determine the success ratio for cement manufacturers. Major inputs in cement manufacturing
include coal, power and freight.
Coal:
In India coal I am being used as the fuel for the manufacturing of cement. Else where in
the world lignite, nature gas and oil are also used. They are not used in India as continuous
supply of natural gas is not assured used by plants in southern plants of India, like Dalmia
Cement, Chettinad cement etc., as a supplement to coal which compensates the storage for coal
in this area. Non cooking coal of lower ash content is required by cement plants. It should be less
than 30%. A useful heat of 4500 kilocalories per 1k.g of coal. Coal of lower ash enables
comparatively lower quality of limestone. The coal should have volatile matter and high
temperature. Transport of coal is another big issue as many of larger cement plants are located
close to the limestone deposits, which may not have coal deposits nearby.
Power:
Power constitutes about 10% of the total cement production costs. About 3 percent of the total
power generated in the country is used by cement industry. The average consumption of power
in the dry process kilns is around 125 units per million tons of clinker.
Freight:
Freight constitutes a very significant part of the cost structure of cement units in India. On an
average freight for transporting finished product alone forms 13.85% of the cost of production of
large cement plants.
The main areas of freight coast for the cement industries are
● Transporting coal from the coal fields to the cement factories.
● Transporting cement from the plants to their mark
Limestone transport would be even costlier than transporting coal or cement. Hence
cement plants are located in cluster near limestone deposits. Indian railway is moving up to 60%
of the total cement production.
Man power:
Based on requirement of individual departments, Head of that department is asked to give
information to man power planning department regarding the number of persons required. The
departmental heads assess their requirements based on the available departmental job description
to ensure role clarity and to avoid role ambiguity. The Central Personnel Dept. carries out the
recruitment process.
The total employees in PENNA CEMENT are 345 covering all departments. There are
nearly 500 contract labor working every day on casual basis.
Material Balance:
Limestone + Additives Raw material
Note:
Depending upon quality of raw materials the above consumption may value.
PRODUCT PROFILE:
Penna Cement manufactures and distributes its own main product lines of cement. It
aims to optimize production across all the marketers, providing a complete solution for
customer’s needs at the lowest possible cost, an approach known as “strategic Integration of
Activities”. Cement is made from a mixture of 80 percent limestone and 20 percent clay. These
are crushed and ground to provide the “raw meal”, a pale, flour – like powder. Heated to around
1450o C (2642o F) rotating kilns, the “meal” undergoes complex chemical changes and is
transformed into clinker. Fine – grinding the clinker together with a small quality of gypsum
produces cement. Adding other constituents at this stage produces cements for specialized uses.
ADVANTAGES:
Here are five of the many reasons why Penna 53 Grade and 43 Grade cement edges out
its competitors.
Here are just a few reasons why Penna Cement chosen by millions of India.
● Ideal raw material
● Low lime and magnesia content and high proportion of silicates
● Greater fineness
● Slow initial and fast final setting
● Wide range of applications
● Quality customer services
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Thus funds flow statement is a report which summarizes the events taking place between
the two accounting periods. It spells out the sources from which funds were derived and the uses
to which these funds were put, This statement is essentially derived from an analysis of the
changes that have occurred in assets and liabilities items between two balances sheet dates. In
this statements only the net changes are shows that the outcome of a transaction as of a series of
transactions upon the financial condition of at business enterprise is reflected more sharply.
Decision On Capitalization:
The funds flow statement serves as handmaid to the finance manager in deciding the
make up of capitalizations. Estimated uses of funds for new fixed assets working capital,
dividend, and repayment of debt are made for each of several future years. Estimates are made of
the funds to be provided by operations, and the balance must be obtained by borrowing or
issuance of new securities, if the indicated amount of new funds required is greater than what the
finance manager thinks possible to raise, then plans for new fixed assets acquisition and the
dividend policies are re-examined so that the uses of funds can be brought into balance with the
anticipated sources of financing them. In particular funds statements are very useful in planning
intermediate and long term financing
It shows light on many perplexing question of general interest which otherwise may be difficult
to be answered, such as:
1. Why were the net current assets lesser in spite of higher profits and vice versa?
2. Why more dividends could not be declared in spite of available profits?
3. How was it possible to distribute more dividends than the present earnings?
4. What happened to the net profit? Where did they go?
5. What happened to the proceeds of sale of fixed assets or issue of shares? Debentures etc.?
6. What are the sources of the repayment of debt?
7. How was the increase in working capital financial and how will it be financed in future?
It helps 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 divided
for lack of liquid of cash resources. In such cases, a funds flow statement helps in the formation
of a realistic dividend policy.

funds.
RECOMMENDATIONS
● All the reserves and surplus amount are utilizing for purchasing fixed assets and for
working capital. It is better to utilize some amount for purchasing investments which
diversifies the financial risk.
● Company is maintaining more current ratio. Hence, firm’s funds will be unnecessarily
ties up in current assets. It could be better to invest the amount in purchasing the
marketable securities.
● In the financial senses acquiring the share capital will makes profitable not borrowing the
loans thorough secured and unsecured.
Trading activity should be operated effectively to generate more funds.

INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
Funds flow statement is a technical device designed to highlight the changes in the
financial condition of a business enterprise between the opening and closing balance sheet dates.
The flow of funds results in mainly profits of a business due to business operations. And has
been well said that “a business with an income at it heals furnishes always oil for its own
wheels”, it is the profit which becomes main sources of funds for a business. However profitable
companies can also be anemic with respect to working capital and since working capital is the
life blood of an enterprise, its shortage can disturb the operating cycle of the business. The
concept of ‘funds’ the flow which is to be examined in detail as to its sources and applications
so as to know the net increase or decrease in working capital over a period of time, usually a
year.
One of the most important techniques of financial analysis is a preparation of funds flow
statement. It is the statement which portrays the changes in the financial position of an
enterprise. Balance sheet and income statement do not present a comparative picture, even if
placed side by side in that much clarity as the statement of changes in financial position which
focuses on the sources and uses of funds.
Definition:
A financial statement with summary for the period covered by it, the changes in
financial position including the sources from which funds were obtained by the enterprise and
specific uses to which funds were applied. Funds flow statement in a statement either prospective
or retrospective setting out the sources and application of the funds of an enterprise. The
purpose of the statement is to indicate clearly the requirement of funds and how they are propose
to be raised and efficient utilization and application of the same.
Concept of Funds:
Funds in the narrowness sense of the term as be equated to cash. But in the broader sense
and appropriate one here, it refers to working capital that is current assets less current liabilities.
A still broader interpretation of the term “funds” has been given by some accountants,
and according to them funds includes all resources used in the business whether in the form of
human, material, money, machinery and other. But it is not relevant for the purpose of flow
statement. The most common definition of fund is working capital since they use the term
working capital as synonym to current assets.
CONCEPT of Flow:
The dictionary meaning of the word flow is movement denoting change Therefore,
whenever there is a change of funds that is either increase or decrease there is a flow of funds.
There must be some cause of change- the cause may result in either raising the funds inflow of
funds there by becoming a source of fund or the cause may lead depletion of funds that is out of
funds, implying there by an application or use of funds in other words source of funds show the
reasons of increase in funds that is working capital and application of funds reveal the reasons of
decrease in funds that is working capital.
Concept of Funds Flow Statement:
The meaning of funds flow or flow of funds illustrates the concept of funds flow
statement clearly the statement which analysis the flow of funds that is the reasons for changes in
working capital is a funds flow statement.
The reasons are set by the sources and application of funds and therefore the statement can
be called as the statement of sources an application (uses) of funds. Some accountants prefer to
call it in short as fund and to which place have gone. It is also designated as where got and
where (movements) of working capital, movements of flow statements etc.
It is very useful tool in analytical kit of the management also, besides the outsiders, in order to
have ‘at a glance’ appraisal of the financial and operating performance of a company. Since the
statement shows the extent to which the working capital has been effectively put to use, the
management’s task of taking policy decision regarding investment, dividends etc, is great
facilitated.
❖ Informative value:-
❖ Forecasting value:-
A projected funds flow statement can be prepared and resources can be properly allocated
after an analysis of the present state of affairs. The optimal utilization of available funds are
necessary for the overall growth of the enterprise. The funds flow statement prepared in advance
given a clear direction to the management in this raged.
❖ Testing value:-
Whether the working capital has been effectively used or not by the management can well
be tested by funds floflow statement. Whether working capital has been maintained at proper
level, and whether it is adequate or inadequate can be known by a study of the statement. The
management is warned against the injudicious uses of funds.
Decision-making value:
Since overall credit worthiness of the enterprise is known, creditors and money lenders
can decide as to whether they have to provide loans to company or not. The sources of raising
funds and their application help the shareholders to decide whether the management of the
business is an enlightened or not regarding managing funds. Mismanagement of funds may be
prevented. The management can be decided about the future financing policies and capital.
Every company needs to know the flow of funds both inflow and outflow. So that the
efficiency in utilizing the funds can be better to understand. For this the present analysis through
funds flow statement will be helpful.
The main need for the study is to study the operating activities, investing activities and
Financing activities in the Penna Cement Industries Limited and methods to evaluate the
financial performance of the company, with the help of Funds flow to evaluate the pattern of the
firm.
The importance of cash management is so essential in any organization to run the
business with continuous basis. The present study also attempts to know the “cash management
system in selected in selected organization”.
The present study focuses as sources funds and application of funds for a period of time.
The study is confirmed to find out the changes in the financial position of The Penna Cement
Financial Services Limited between the beginning and ending financial Year. It is a technical
device designed to analyze the changes in the financial condition of the business enterprises
between two dates.
This funds flow statement is a statement which indicates various means by which the
funds have been obtained during a certain period and the ways to which these funds have
been used during the period.
The term funds used here means working capital that is the excess of current assets
over current liabilities. It is an essential tool for the financial analysts and is of primary
importance to the financial management.
Now a days it is being widely used by the financial analyst credit granting institutions and
financial managers. The basic purpose of the funds flow statement is to reveal the changes in
the working capital on the two balance sheet dates. It helps in the analysis of financial
operations. It helps in the formation of realistic dividend policy. It helps in the proper
allocation of resources. It helps in appraising the use of working capital and finally it acts as
future guide.

CHAPTER-2
INDUSTRY PROFILE & COMPANY PROFILE &
PRODUCT PROFILE
INDUSTRY PROFILE
Cement Industry has been decontrolled from price and distribution on 1 st March
1989 and de – licensed on 25th July 1991. However, the performance of the industry and prices
of cement are monitored regularly. Being a key infra structure industry.
The constraints faced by the industry are reviewed in the Infrastructure Coordination
Committee meetings held in the Cabinet Secretariat under the Chairmanship of Secretary
(Coordination). The Committee on Infrastructure also reviews its performance. The industry is
subject to quality control order issued on 17.2.2003 to ensure quality standards.
India is ranked fourth in the world after China, Japan, and USA in cement production.
Yet the per-capital consumption of cement in India however low at 70 to 80 k.gs against the
world average of around 220kgs.
India today boasts 129 large plants and over 300 mini cement plants with a capacity
of 165 million tones and production of 134 million tons (2016-17).
It ranks second in the world among cement producing countries, with per capita
consumption at 118Kg compared to the world avg. Of around 317. Per capita consumption is
366 Kg in Thailand, 626 Kg in China, 606 Kg in Malaysia and 1216 Kg in South Korea. This
indicates a huge potential for increase in consumption.
The Cement Corporation of India, which is a central public sector undertaking, has 10
units. Besides, there are 10 large cement plants owned by various state Governments. Keeping
in view the past trends, a production target of 133 million tons has been set for the year 2016 –
17. During the Tenth Plan, the Industry is expected to grow at the rate of 10% per annum and is
expected to add capacity of 40 – 52 million tons.
Mainly through expansion of existing plants and use of more fly as in the production of
cement. A part from meeting the domestic demand, the cement Industry also contributes towards
exports. The export of cement and clinker during the last three years is as under:-
Export of Cement:
(In million tons)
Year Cement Clinker Total
The Indian Cement Industry not only ranks second in the production of cement in the
world but also produces quality cement, which meets global standards. However, the Industry
faces a number of constraints in terms of high cost of power.
High railway tariff; high incidence of state and central levies and duties; lack of
private and public investment in infrastructure projects; poor quality coal and inadequate growth
of related infrastructure like sea and rail transport, ports and bulk terminals. In order to utilize
excess capacity available with the cement Industry, the Government has identified the following
thrust areas for increasing demand for cement:
● Housing development programs;
Technological advancements:
Indian cement industry is modern and uses latest technology. Only a small
segment of industry is using old technology based on wet and semi-dry process. Efforts are being
made to recover waste heat and success in this area has been significant.
India is also producing different varieties of cement like Ordinary Portland Cement
(OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFS), Oil
Well Cement, Rapid Hardening Portland Cement, Sulphate Resisting Portland Cement, White
Cement, etc. Production of these varieties of cement conforms to the BIS Specifications. It is
worth mentioning that some cement plants have set up dedicated jetties for promoting bulk
transportation and export.
Another large consumer has been the roads sector. The off take was good when the
NHDP program was launched but there was a Null last year. “Once again new orders have been
placed and in 2018, the industry will pick up. The estimate is that from roads, demand is not
more than 4-5 million tones but it makes a difference in the growth numbers”.
Freight problems:
The importance of freight for the cement industry cannot be emphasized enough.
While in the last few months’ railways have been steadily losing freight to road sector they have
been confined cement to market-is around Rs.350-400 a ton or Rs.20 and bag that could go as
high a Rs.800 for long leads. This would only easy the first level of sale and additional costs are
involved to take it further.
Another issue, which will hit the industry hard, is that of logistics and a Supreme
Court judgment on carrying capacity for trucks. Accordingly, a state govt. has been directed to
enforce the discipline that trucks only carry a specified load. “Many states and already
implementing this and there is already an increase in freight rates and in some cases, it has gone
up by 50%. Also, the requirement for trucks to carry the same freight has nearly doubled and in
many places the industry is being forced to move to railways.”
High taxes:
While the railways have had capacity to meet the requirement, it is expected that in
March the commencement of peak season for the procurement of food grains, the railways would
be constrained to provide adequate number of wagons.
So fright rates are up, railways cannot provide wagons and trucks are unlikely to be
viable so there could be a serious dislocation of supplies going forward.According to the cement
manufactures association total taxes and duties on cement come to around Rs.900 a ton or Rs. 45
a bag. “So at a price of Rs.150 a bag in the market, taxes and duties account for one third. Which
is high for such a basic product. This includes excise duty, sales tax and royalty on limestone.
The importance of limestone can only be underscored as for every ton of cement
produced. 1.5tons of limestone is required. “For limestone, royalty is on a per ton basis at Rs. 40
whereas for most minerals it is a percentage of the pithead cost. Effectively we are paying Rs.70
a ton for limestone as royalty. VAT is at 12.5% without any justification and it should be in 4%
category, excise is at Rs.408 per ton when it should be around Rs.200.
Export Advantages:
From a modest beginning if 1.6 lacks tons in 1989-90, Indian exports of cement/clinker
have grown rapidly at about 30-40% and this year exports will cross 10 million tons.
Overall, the industry is in a better state today than 2 years ago. “Cement prices even
today are way below global levels. So setting up Greenfield capacities is not attractive, as
prices will not give attractive returns on investment. That is a minor reason why there is no
Greenfield capacity coming up. It has to be born in mind that one third of the prices is
accounted for by taxes and duties and nearly 20-25% by the freight component. So what
produces earn at the factory gate is among the lowest in the world.”
This year 2021 has commenced on a good note and in fact, December was a very good
month with dispatches at 12.5 million tons and January dispatches were in excess of 13
million tons.
“This means capacity utilization is in the nineties which is healthy and will actually lead
to firming up of prices. It looks like sales could be 137 million a ton for 2020-21(125 million
tons in 2019-2020) and so far growth has been 10%. There are enough reasons to believe it
will sustain.”
COMPANY PROFILE
A Penna cement industry Limited was incorporate on Oct 24th 1991, to set up a cement plant at
Tadipatri in Ananthapur District of Andhra Pradesh. The plant commenced commercial
production on Aug 10th 1994 as mini cement plant with initial capacity of 0.30 million tones. The
company short period getting profits. Later 1995 plant capacity was increased 0.4 million tones
which upgrade its state major plant.

Quarry:
Major raw material for cement industry. The quarry has a mining lease of 235.52 acres in
Talaricheruvu village. 440.47 acres in Urichintala village and 629.75 acres in Korumanipalli
village of Kurnool district.
RAW MATERIALS :
Limestone:
Limestone is the major raw material for the cement industry. Limestone constitutes 60 to
70 percent of the total raw material costs. Nearly 1.5 – 1.6 tons of limestone is required for
producing one ton of cement clinker limestone (calcium carbonate) is a rock of either
sedimentary or metamorphic origin with calcium oxide as its main constituent. In India
limestone occurs mainly as sedimentary rocks and constitutes 30 percent of the total sedimentary
rocks in the country. Cement grade limestone is available in 21 states in the country. About 65
percent of the cement plants in India uses sedimentary limestone and 20 percent use
metamorphic crystalline limestone. India has 85,980 million tons of cement grade limestone
deposits, which is enough to produce 100 million tons of cement for the next 500 years.
Total reserve
No. of years limestone reserve would last = -------------------------------------
Avg., limestone Consumption
It is quite clear that India’s limestone reserves are adequate for the next several years.
More over new reserves would be discovered every year Limestone is mixed extensively in India
and ranks second in production next to coal mining. Major portion of limestone mining portion
of limestone mining is for cement industry (nearly 75% to 80%) therefore the demand supply
situation is quite comfortable.
In India limestone deposits are abundantly found only in Siroly (Rajasthan), Santna,
Belaspur (M.P., wadi (Karnataka), Tadipatri (A.P.) and some places in Gujarat. Units are
generally located in close proximity of limestone deposits in Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.
The quality of required for the cement production should have the following composition.
Lime : 50%
Silicon : 3%
Aluminum : 4%
Iron oxide : 0.50%
Magnesium : 0.50%
Loss on Ignition : 42%
Total : 100%
If Magnesium content exceeds 0.4-0.5 percent, the limestone is not suitable for cement.
Similarly, lime content is directly proportional to the clinker and cement quality and quantity.
Gypsum:
Gypsum is another important required material for cement manufacturing, constitutes
about 5 percent of the weight of the cement. Gypsum is added in required quantity at the time of
grinding of clinker. The clinker and the required amount of the Gypsum is added to control the
setting time of the cement. India possesses resources of gypsum. Hence its availability is not a
concern for the cement manufacture.
Inputs:
Although limestone is the major raw material for cement industry, the critical raw
material is energy. How well the company uses coal and electricity and how much it costs will
determine the success ratio for cement manufacturers. Major inputs in cement manufacturing
include coal, power and freight.
Coal:
In India coal I am being used as the fuel for the manufacturing of cement. Else where in
the world lignite, nature gas and oil are also used. They are not used in India as continuous
supply of natural gas is not assured used by plants in southern plants of India, like Dalmia
Cement, Chettinad cement etc., as a supplement to coal which compensates the storage for coal
in this area. Non cooking coal of lower ash content is required by cement plants. It should be less
than 30%. A useful heat of 4500 kilocalories per kg of coal. Coal of lower ash enables
comparatively lower quality of limestone. The coal should have volatile matter and high
temperature. Transport of coal is another big issue as many of larger cement plants are located
close to the limestone deposits, which may not have coal deposits nearby.
Power:
Power constitutes about 10% of the total cement production costs. About 3 percent of
the total power generated in the country is used by cement industry. The average consumption of
power in the dry process kilns is around 125 units per million tons of clinker.
Freight:
Freight constitutes a very significant part of the cost structure of cement units in India.
On an average freight for transporting finished product alone forms 13.85% of the cost of
production of large cement plants.
The main areas of freight coast for the cement industries are
● Transporting coal from the coal fields to the cement factories.
● Transporting cement from the plants to their mark
Limestone transport would be even costlier than transporting coal or cement. Hence
cement plants are located in cluster near limestone deposits. Indian railway is moving up to 60%
of the total cement production.
Man power:
Based on requirement of individual departments, Head of that department is asked to give
information to man power planning department regarding the number of persons required. The
departmental heads assess their requirements based on the available departmental job description
to ensure role clarity and to avoid role ambiguity. The Central Personnel Dept. carries out the
recruitment process.
The total employees in PENNA CEMENT are 345 covering all departments. There are
nearly 500 contract labor working every day on casual basis.
Note:
Due to change in the quality of lime stone and coal, the consumption of additives has
been changed accordingly.
Material Balance:
Limestone + Additives Raw material
Note:
Depending upon quality of raw materials the above consumption may value.
PRODUCT PROFILE
Penna Cement manufactures and distributes its own main product lines of cement. It
aims to optimize production across all the marketers, providing a completer solution for
customer’s needs at the lowest possible cost, an approach known as “strategic Integration of
Activities”. Cement is made from a mixture of 80 percent limestone and 20 percent clay. These
are crushed and ground to provide the “raw meal”, a pale, flour – like powder. Heated to around
1450o C (2642o F) rotating kilns, the “meal” undergoes complex chemical changes and is
transformed into clinker. Fine – grinding the clinker together with a small quality of gypsum
produces cement. Adding other constituents at this stage produces cements for specialized uses.
ADVANTAGES:
Here are five of the many reasons why Penna 53 Grade and 43 Grade cement edges out
its competitors.
R.N.ANTONY
"The funds flow statement described the sources from which additional funds were
derived and the used to which these funds are put."
R.N. Foulk
"A Statement of sources and application of funds in technical device designed to analyze
the charges in the financial condition of a business between two dates."
BIERMAN
"It is a statement which highlights the underlying financial movements and explains the
changes of working capital from one point of time to another."
These, funds flow statement is report which summarizes the events taking place between
the two accounting periods. It spells out the sources from which funds were derived and the use
to which these funds were put. This statement in essentially derived from an analysis of the
changes that have occurred in assets and liabilities item between two balance sheets dates.
CONCEPTS OF FUNDS:
The term 'funds have a variety of meaning. Some people take funds synonymous to cash,
and to them there is no difference between a cash flow statement prepared on the basis and a
fund flow statement. While other include marketable securities and cash to constitute business
funds. However the most common definition of the term 'Fund' is "working capital' or net
'current assets'. Thus the difference between current assets and current liabilities is called funds.
SIGNIFICANCE OF FUNDS FLOW STATEMENT:
Funds flow statement is an important tool of financial analysis. The utility of the funds
flow statement turns form the fact that it enable management, shareholder. investors, creditors
and other interested in the enterprise to evaluate the user of funds by the enterprise to evaluate
the user of funds by the enterprise , and to determine how these funds are financed.
Decision of capitalization:
The funds flow statement serves as hand maid to the financial manager in deciding the
making up of capitalization. Estimated user of funds for new fixed assets, working capital.
dividends and repayment of debt are made for each of several futures years. Estimates are made
for each of several future years. Estimate is made of the funds to be provided by operations and
the balance must be obtained by barrowing or issuance of new securities. If the indicated amount
of new funds required is greater than what the financial Manager thinks possible to raise, then
plans for new fixed assets acquisition and the dividend policies are re-examined so that the Use
of the funds can be brought into balance with the anticipated sources of financing them. In
particular funds statements are very useful in planning intermediate and long term financing.
The financial analyst can find out answers to a number of intricate Questions.
● What are the sources of payment of loan taken.
● What is the overall credit worthiness of the enterprise.
● How much funds are generated through normal business operation.
● What way the management has utilized the. funds in the part and
● What are going to be likely uses of funds.
It Acts an instruments for allocation of resources. A projected funds flow statement will
help the analyst in finding out how the management is going to allocate the scare resources for
meeting the productive requirements of business. The use of funds should be phased in such as
order that the valuable resources are put to the best use of the enterprise. The funds should be
managed in this way that the business is in a position to make payment of interest and loan
installments as per the agreed schedule.
Current
Fidjifhf Assets Fixed Assets
Financial statement analysis when used carefully, can produce meaningful insights about
a company's, financial information and its prospects for the future. However, the analyst must be
aware of certain important considerations about financial statements and the use of these
analytical tools. For example, the dollar amounts for many types of assets and other financial
statement items are usually based on historical costs and thus do not reflect replacement costs or
inflationary adjustments. Furthermore, financial statements contain estimates of numerous items.
John Myor, "Financial Statement analysis is largely a study of relationship among the various
financial factors in a business as disclosed by single set of statements and a study of the trend of
these factors' as shown in a series of statements.
Thus the financial statement generally refers to, four financial statements.
● Income Statement
● Balance Sheet Of course a business may also prepare profit & loss account.
● Statement of retained earnings.
● A statement of changes in financial position.
● Financial Statement
● Change in working capital position in such a case the statement in termed (SCFP) or
funds flow statement.
● Change in cash position in such a case the statement in termed as (SCFP) or cash flow
statement.
● Change in overall financial position. In such a case the statement is termed as statement
of changes in finance.
The technique of funds flow analysis is widely used by financial analysis, credit
granting instructions and financial managers in performance of their jobs. It has become a useful
tool in their analytical kit. This is became the financial statement, income statement measure
flows restricted to “Balance Sheet “have a limited role to perform. Income statement measure
flows restricted to transactions that certain to rendering of goods or services to customers. The
Balance sheet is merely a static statement. It is the statement of assets and liabilities of business
as a particular date, it does not supply focus those major financial transactions which have been
believed the Balance Sheet changes. One has to draw inferences from the balance sheet about
major financial transactions only after comprising the balance sheet of two periods.
For example, if fixed assets worth Rs.3,00,000 are purchased during the current year
by raising share capital of Rs.3,00,000 the balance sheet simply shows as higher capital figure
and higher fixed asset figure. Certain important transactions which might (occur during the
course of the accounting) not find any place in the Balance Sheet. For example, if loan of
Rs.3,00,000 was raised and paid in the accounting year , the balance sheet will not depict this
transaction. However , a financial analyst must know the purpose for which loan utilized and the
source from it was raised. This will help him in making better estimates about the company’s
financial position and policies.
Change in cash position in such a case the statement in termed as SCFP (or) cash flow statement.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
Financial analysis is highly essential to understand the efficiency and financial position of
the center prices.
The term "Analysis means methodical clarification of the data provided in the financial
statements. 'Analysis' and 'Interpretation' are complementary to each other Interpretation requires
analysis, while analysis is useless without interpretation. The term "Analysis" to cover the
meanings of analysis and interpretation, since analysis involves interpretation.
Myers States:
"Financial statement analysis is largely a study of the relationship among. The various
financial factors in a business as disclosed by a single set of a statements and a study of the trend
of these factors as shown in a series of statements".
● The method of operation fallowed in the analysis of the modus operandi of analysis.
ON THE BASIS OF MATERIAL USED:
According to mate Hal used financial analysis can be classified into two types.
1. External analysis.
2. Internal analysis.
1. EXTERNAL ANALYSIS:
It is the analysis by outsiders who don't have access to the detailed internal accounting
records of the business firm, these outsiders include investors, Potential investors, Potential
creditors and government agencies, credit agencies and the general public. For the financial
analysis, the external parties to the firm depend almost entirely on the published financial
statements. External analysis only serves for limited purpose. However the recent changes in the
Government regulations requiring business firm to make available more detailed information to
the public through audited published account have considerably improved the position of the
External analysis.
2. INTERNAL ANALYSIS:
The analysis conducted by person who has access to the financial accounting records of
a business firm is known as internal analysis. Such an analysis can therefore be performed by
executive and employee of the firm.
1. HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS:
Horizontal analysis refers to the comparison of financial data of a company for several
years. The figure for this type of Analysis are presented Horizontal-over, a no of columns. The
figures of the various years are compared with standard or base year. A base year is a year
chosen as beginning point. This type of analysis is also called dynamic as it is based on the data
from year rather that an data from any one year.
Horizontal analysis means it possible to focus attention on items that have changed
significantly during the period under review comparison of an item over several periods with a
base year may show a trend development comparative statement and trend percentage are two
tools employed in Horizontal analysis.
Since this reflects changes in financial position of the company over a long period of time it
comprises:
1. Comparison of the financial statements of different years of the same business unit.
2. VERTICAL ANALYSIS:
Vertical analysis is refers to the study of the various items in the financial statement of
one accounting period. In this type of analysis of the figure from financial statement of a year are
compared with a. base select from the same year statement. It is also known as "Static analysis"
common size financial statement and financial ratios are two tools employed in Vertical
Analysis.
Since Vertical Analysis considers data for one time period only it is very conductive to a proper
analysis of financial statement. However may be used along with horizontal analysis to make it
more effective and meaningful..
There are two types of common-size statements, viz., common-size income Statement
and Balance Sheet.
Under this form of analysis, generally financial ratios are studied for a specified number
of years. It is a dynamic analysis depicting the changes over a stated period. The working of
trend analysis involves the following three steps:
● Selection of the base year.
● Assignment of an index number of 100 to each item of the base year.
● Calculation of percentage relationship that each item bears to the same item in
the base year.
(iv). Ratio Analysis:
Ratio Analysis is powerful tool of financial analysis. The relationship between two
accounting figures, expressed mathematically, it is known as a financial ratio. In financial
analysis, a ratio is used as a benchmark for evaluating financial position and performance of a
firm. Ratios help to summarize large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative
judgment about the firm’s financial performance.
Several ratios, calculated from the accounting data, can be grouped into various classes
according to financial activity or function to be evaluated. In view of the requirements of the
various users of ratios.
Classification of Ratios:
Ratios may be classified in a number of ways keeping in view the particular purpose.
Ratios indicating profitability are calculated on the basis of the profit and loss account, those
indicating financial position are computed on the basis of the balance sheet and those which
operating efficiency or productivity or effective use of resources are calculate on the basis of
figures in the profit and loss account and the balance sheet.
This classification is rather crude and unsuitable to determine the profitability and
financial position of the business. To achieve this purpose effectively ratios may be classified as.
Ratios:-
● Profitability Ratio
● Activity Ratios
● Liquidity Ratio
● Leverage Ratio
Profitability Ratios:
Profitability reflects the final result of business operations. There are two types of
profitability ratios, profit margin ratios and rate return ratios. profit margins ratios show the
relationship between profit and sales. The two popular profit margin ratios are, gross profit
margin ratio and net profit margin ratio. Rate of return ratios select the relationship between
profit and investment the important rate of return measures are: return on total assets, earning
power and return on equity.
. Generally, there are two types of profitability ratios:
● Profitability in relation to sales
● Profitability in relation to investment.
The profitability ratios are:
● Gross profit ratio.
● Net profit ratio.
● Return on equity ratio.
● Return on capital employed ratio.
Turnover (Performance or Activity) Ratios:
Turnover ratio is also referred to as activity ratios or asset management ratios,
measure how efficiently the asset are employed by a firm . These ratios are based on the
relationship between the level of activity , represented by sales or cost of goods sold and
levels of various assets.
The important turnover ratios are :
i. Inventory Turnover Ratio
ii. Debtors Turnover Ratio
iii. Debtors Collection Period Ratio
iv. Fixed Assets Turnover Ratio
v. Total Assets Turnover ratios
Liquidity Ratios:
● Current ratios
● Quick ratio
● Cash ratio
● Net working capital ratio
Leverage Ratios:
The short-term creditors like bankers and suppliers of raw material are more
concerned with the firm's current debt paying ability. On the other hand long-term creditors like
debenture holders, financial institutions etc. are more concerned with the firm's long-term
financial strengths in fact a firm should have strong short-term as well as long-term financial
position of the firm like financial leverage or capital structure are also calculated their ratios
indicated mix of fund provided by owners and lenders.
● Debt ratio.
● Debt equity ratio.
● Interest coverage ratio.
● Since cash flow statement is based on the cash basis of accounting, it is very useful in the
evaluation of cash position of a firm.
● A projected cash flow statement can be prepared in order to know the future cash position
of a concern so as to enable a firm to plan and coordinate its financial operations
properly. By preparing this statement, a firm can come to know as to how much cash will
be generated into the firm and how much cash will he needed to make various payments
and hence the firm can well plan to arrange for the future requirements of cash.
● Cash flow statement helps in planning the repayment of loans, replacement of fixed
assets and other similar long-term planning of cash. It is also significant of capital
budgeting decisions.

term current assets while loose tools should be excluded from the category of current assets. Of
course, this is not strictly accordingly to the requirements of the companies Act regarding
presentation of financial statement where investments even though held temporarily are to be
shown separately from current assets while loose tools are shown separately from current assets
while loose tools are shown under the category of current assets.

hand, if the working capital at the end of the period is less than that at the commencement, the
difference is called ‘Decrease in Working Capital’.

In business several transactions take place some of the transactions increase the funds
while other decrease the funds some may not make any change in the funds position. In case a
transaction results in increase of funds. It will be termed as source of funds. In case a
transactions results in decrease of funds it will be taken as an application or use of funds.
SOURCES OF FUNDS:
Sources of funds can be divided in to two types.
1. Internal source
2 External source
INTERNAL SOURCE:
Funds from operation is the only internal source of funds how ever, the following adjustment
will be required in the figure of net profit for finding our real funds from operation.
i) Depreciation on Fixed assets
APPLICATION OF FUNDS:
The uses to which funds are called application of funds. Following are some of the purpose
for which funds may be used.
Thus the net effect of operation will be a sources of funds if inflow from sales exceeds the
outflow for expanses and cost of goods sold and vice-versa but it must be remembered that funds
from operation do not necessarily mean the profit as shown by the profit & loss of a firm because
there are many non-kind (or) Non operating items which may have been either debited or
credited to profit & loss Account. The examples of such items on the debt side of a profit & loss
Account are amortization of fictitious and intangible assets such as good will, preliminary
expenses and discount on issue of share & debentures written off Appreciation of retained
earnings such as transfer to reserve etc. depreciation and depletion loss and sale of fixed assets,
payment of dividend etc. The Non-fund items are those which may be operational expenses but
they do not affect funds of the business.
E.g. for depreciation charged to profit & loss account funds really don't move out of
business non operating items are those which although may result in the outflow of funds but are
not related to the trading operations of business such as loss on sale of machinery or payment of
dividends the method of calculating funds from operation have been discussed.
● The second method which is generally used to precede from figure of net profit & loss
account already prepared Funds from operations by this method can be calculated as
under.

TREATMENT OF ADJUSTMENTS:
Sometimes the factors affecting the funds from operation may not be given in the problem
directly and there may be some hidden information as such some of the transactions have to
designed our using the additional. Information provided as adjustments to the balance sheet there
items include
a) Provision for tax
b) proposed dividend
c) Sale (or) Purchase of fixed assets
a) PROVISION FOR TAX:
It is a current liability while preparing on funds flow statement there are two options
available. i) Provision for Tax may be taken as a current liability. In such a case, where provision
for tax is made their transaction involves profit and loss appropriation Account which is a fixed
liability and provision for Tax Account. Which is a current liability it will thus decrease the
working capital on payment of tax there will be no change in working capital because it will
involve one current liability and other a current assets.
b) PROPOSED DIVIDEND:
What ever has been said about the Provision for Tax' is also applicable to "Propose dividends".

will have to be paid with in 42 days their declaration.
ii) Proposed dividends may simply be taken as an appropriation of profits. In such as case
proposed dividend for the current year will be added back to current year's profit in order to find
out funds from operations if such amount of dividend has already been charged to profits
payment, of dividend will be shown as an "Application of Funds".
