 Company Profile

LT Overseas to LT Foods Ltd: Small beginnings to Global Presence When it all began
about 30 years ago, nobody could have even dreamt that the small trading company that
came into being as Lalchand Tirathram Mills could one day be on its way to become a
leadingglobal food company.

1965, Bhikiwind, in a little village in Amritsar (Punjab, India); Shri Raghunath

Arorastarted a small trading company which grew from being a commissioning agent to a
partnership firm by 1977, as Lalchand Tirathram Rice Mills.

1978: Mr. V.K.Arora joined the family business with his father, with a clear vision of
taking his company to a global level. In 1980, the company started exporting Premium
Rice. This was the first step towards making this vision a reality.

Simultaneously, the company decided to face the challenges in domestic markets by

setting up a modern, state-of-the-art rice factory in Sonepat, Haryana in 1984.
Unorganized players with inconsistent quality products were crowding the market. In this
scenario, Mr. V K Arora felt the need to promote branded and packaged products. In line
with this vision, the company started the business of milling, processing and marketing of
branded basmati rice and manufacturing of rice food products in the domestic and
overseas market.

 COMPANY HISTORY

Our Company was incorporated as LT Overseas Private Limited on 16th October 1990
having registered office at 532/4, Naya Bazaar, Delhi. Consequent to conversion to
public limited company, the name of the Company was changed to LT Overseas Limited
vide fresh Certificate of Incorporation dated 03rd May 1994. We started our operations in
the year 1993 using certain processing facilities of Lal Chand Tirath Ram Rice Mills
(LCTRRM), an associate concern, on lease. We got our registration as manufacturer
exporter in 1993 from APEDA. In 1994-95 we filed our draft prospectus with SEBI and
Stock Exchanges in Mumbai, Delhi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad. The object of the Issue was
to part finance the expansion programmed for setting up a milling plant with a capacity of
2 MTPH. We received the observation letter from SEBI but we did not take the matter
forward on account of the then prevailing poor conditions in the capital markets.
However, we completed the expansion plan through term loan from Banks. We set up
milling capacity (paddy to rice) of 4 MTPH in the year 1995, at Kakroi Road Sonepat.
We have been making investments in plant and machineries and other assets in a bid to
upgrade and modernize its production processes to meet the consistent quality
requirements of customers. In pursuance of succession agreement dated March 26, 1999,
we took over the business of Lal Chand Tirath Ram Rice Mills having milling capacity of
6 MTPH, thus making the total milling capacity available with the Company at 10
MTPH. In the year 1999-2000, we started setting up a new manufacturing facility at
Bahalgarh, Haryana. The commercial production commenced in December, 2000. This
factory increased our manufacturing capacity by 4 MTPH. However, our total milling
capacity remained same i.e. 10MTPH due to obsolescence of some machineries at Kakroi
Road Factory. Between 2002-2005 we increased our capacity to 18 MTPH and in the
year 2005, we disposed off our Kakroi Road unit (which had a capacity of 6 MTPH)
there by reducing our available capacity to 12 MTPH at the end of 2005-2006. However
with increase in capacity during 2006-07, our current owned capacity stands at 27
MTPH.

India is the worlds second largest producer of food, and has the potential to become the
biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The total food production is expected to
double in the next ten years and there is opportunity for large investment in food and food

segment in the Industry which is gaining vast popularly. The food processing industry is
presently growing at 14% against 6-7% growth in 2003-04.

India is one of the major food producers but accounts for less than 1.5 % of International
food trade, whereas the global processed food market is estimated at US.2 trillion. This
indicates a vast scope in the industry.

Overall this was a year of great challenges and a meltdown in the economic market.
Despite the recession in the global scenario, the Company has achieved significant
growth in Domestic as well as in International market as the impact of the same was
considerably less on our Company, being in the food industry. The Company had made
investments in its subsidiaries in the preceding years, and as a result of overall
performance and contribution of the subsidiaries, and in line with the goal, the LT Group
has been able to reach the milestone of a turnover of 1060.97 Crores. Through a well
defined and conscious strategy, the Company is able to expand its retail and distribution
network, domestically and well as internationally.

CONSEPTULISATION

 INTRODUCTION OF WORKING CAPITAL

Definition

Working Capital refers to the cash a business requires for day-to-day, or, more

specifically, for financing the conversion of raw material into finished goods,

which the company sells for payment. In other words ‘Working Capital’ is the

money the business process consumes. The longer the process takes, the more

money is consumed. Working Capital is calculated by deducting current assets

from current liabilities. Current assets are resources, which are in cash or will

soon be converted into cash (normally with in one year). Whereas Current

liabilities are commitments, which will soon require cash settlement in the

ordinary course of business.

Working Capital can also be defined with an approach that encompasses all the

processes surrounding accounts payable, accounts receivable and inventory and

one begins to understand the potential knock-on impacts of a change in working

capital practice or policy. When looking in detail at any of these three core areas,

it soon becomes clear that WCM can touch all the firm buys makes and sells. A

‘total’ approach to working capital covers all the company’s activities relating to

vendor, the customer and the product.

19
Concepts of Working Capital

Gross Working Capital Concepts

Net working Capital Concepts

Gross working capital concept

According to this concept, working capital means working capital which is total of

the current assets of a business.

Gross Working Capital = Total current assets

Net Working Capital Concept

According to this concept, working capital means net working capital which is the

excess of current assets over the current liabilities

Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current liabilities

20
IMPORTANCE

The better a company manages its working capital, the less the company needs to

borrow. Without adequate working capital there can be no progress. A business must

expand and assert itself in a competitive world. If expansion takes place without the

firm being able to cover its commitments, then over trading will be the result.

Available working capital is stretched a capacity until, finally, bankruptcy or

liquidation is forced upon the business. Even companies with cash surpluses need to

manage working capital to ensure that those surpluses are invested in ways that will

generate suitable returns for investors.

The lengths of production and sales cycle pay an important part in the over trading

process. If short, and the period of credit is not excessive, then money from sales

will help to replenish working capital. However the longer the total period from the

buying of the raw material to the receipt of the cash from sales, the more likely is

overtrading.

Working capital management can be subject to compromise and best practice is

often hard to identify, pursue or benchmark. From a funding optimization

perspective, however, generating extra cash from internal sources has the advantage

over bank and public debt of greater opportunity and access, typically at lower cost.

21
In terms of the impact felt across the company in the business units and customer-

facing staff, it is not the financial but the operational benefits that are most keenly

felt following a reappraisal of working capital practices. The greater efficiencies in

dealing with customers and suppliers greater control of and information on the

processes related to ordering/ paying and delivering / getting paid- can ultimately

feed into improve delivery of goods and services at lower cost. Improve working

capital leads to increase shareholder value because it enables firms to generate more

profit with less capital.

Nature of Working Capital

22
 Along with the fixed capital almost every business requires working capital
through the extent of working capital requirements differs in different
businesses. Working capital is needed for running day to day business
activities. When a business is started, working capital is needed for
purchasing raw materials. The raw material is then converted into finished
goods by incurring some additional costs on it. Now goods are sold. Sales do
not convert into cash instantly because there is invariably some credit sales.
Thus there exist a time lag between sales of goods and receipt of cash. During
this period, expenses are to be incurred for continuing the business operations.
For this purpose working capital is needed. The time period which is required
to convert raw material into finished goods and then into cash is known as
operating cycle. Operating cycle of a manufacturing concern involves five
phases:
1. Conversion of cash into raw material

2. Conversion of raw material into work-in-progress

3. Conversion of work in progress into finished goods

4. Conversion of finished goods into debtors by credit sales

5. Conversion of debtors into cash by realizing cash from them.

Thus the operating cycle starts from cash, finishes at cash. Need for working capital

depends upon period of operating cycle. Greater the period more will be the need for

working capital. Period of operating cycle in a manufacturing concern is greater than

period of trading concern.

Management of Working Capital

23
Guided by the above criteria, management will use a combination of policies and
techniques for the management of working capital. These policies aim at managing the
current assets (generally cash and cash equivalents, inventories and debtors) and the short
term financing, such that cash flow returns are acceptable.

• Cash management: Identify the cash balance which allow for the to meet day to
day expenses, but reduce cash holding cost.

• Inventory management: Identify the level of inventory which allow for

uninterrupted production but reduce the investment in raw material and minimize
recording cost and hence increase cash flow.

• Debtor management: Identify appropriate credit policy, i.e. credit term which will
attract customer, such that any impact on cash flow and the cash conversion cycle
will be offset by increase revenue and hence return on capital, (or vice versa).

• Short term financing: Identify the appropriate source of financing, given by cash
conversion cycle: the inventory ideally financed by credit granted by supplier,
however it may be necessary to utilize a bank loan (or overdraft), or to “convert
debtor to cash” thought “factoring”.

MANAGERIAL USEFULNESS OF STUDY

For a fresher like me, in a big organization like L.T. Food group ltd. gave me a feel of the

real working atmosphere. It enhanced my horizons about how the members of the

organization work as a team, co-coordinating with each other, and their interdependence

on each other. I became aware of the synergy effect i.e., how different members in

different profiles produce greater results with co-ordination.

The usefulness of Study:

 In-depth knowledge of Company’s workings.

 Familiar atmosphere of Company motivates the researcher.

 Awareness of difference between the bookish knowledge and the practical workings

of the company.

 Knowledge of Company’s policies.

 Motivates to work as a team member.

 To get aware of Current Position of the Company.

 The various designations in an organization, the respective work profiles and the

interdependence among them.

 Synergy effect.

25
MANAGERIAL USEFULNESS OF STUDY

 It helps to understand how to tackle work pressure and meet dead lines.

 Difference between budgeted and actual performance.

 Time utilization.

 Wealth maximization.

 Data analysis and interpretation helps to increase capability of mind.

 Knowledge of Company’s decisions to solve the problems.

26
 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

It is well known fact that we remember 20% of what we hear, we remember 40% of

what we see but we remember 75% of what we do.

There are two fold of the management of working capital

• Maintenance of working capital at appropriate level.

• Availability of ample funds as and when they are needed.

The present study in ,L.T. FOODS LTD. mainly focus on the above objectives as

well as some other objectives which I have taken into consideration during the

project training.

• To access the requirement of working capital of the company.

• To assess the changes in working capital needs over the years.

• How management of working capital affects the financial position of the

company?

• Evaluate current assets and current liabilities to find out liquidity position of the

company.

• To prepare the statement of working capital of the concern.

• To know about the current assets and current liabilities position of LT Foods Ltd.

• To determine the ratios relating to the working capital.

• To find out the Gross Working Capital position of LT Foods Ltd.

• To know about the net working capital position of LT Foods Ltd.

27
 The goal of working capital management is to manage the current assets and

current liabilities of a company in such a way that working capital is maintained at a

satisfactory level. The main objectives are follows:

• To determine the adequate investment in Working Capital.

• To determine the composition or structure of Current Assets.

• To maintain a proper balance between Liquidity and Profitability.

For determining what proportion of current assets should be financed by short-term

sources and how much from long-term sources? The decision will determine the

financing mix. There are three approaches to determine the financing mix:

1. Matching Approach: According to this approach, the expected life of the

asset will be matched with the expected life of the sources of fund raised

to finance such assets. For example, if stock is to be sold in 30 days, a

short-term loan for 30 days may be taken. Under this approach, the

liquidity is low and the risk and profitability are high

2. Conservative Approach: According to this approach, all the financial

Needs of a firm are financed from long-term funds. Short-term fund are

used in emergency situations

3. Aggressive Approach: When a firm follows aggressive approach, amount

of long-term funds remain same as in matching approach but the amount

of short-term funds is maintained at a higher level than under the matching

approach. It provides more liquidity.

28
Determinants of Working Capital

1. Nature of Business

2. Size of Business

3. Growth and Expansion

4. Production cycle

5. Business Fluctuation

6. Credit Policy Relating to Sales

7. Credit Policy Relating to Purchase

8. Availability of Raw Material

9. Availability of Credit from banks

10. Volume of profit

11. Efficiency of Management.

29
LIMITATIONS

Although every effort has been in to collect the relevant information through the sources
available, still some relevant information could not be gathered.

 Busy Schedule of Concerned Executives: The concerned executives were having

very busy schedule because of which they were reluctant to give appointment.

 Time: The time duration could not provide ample opportunity to study every detail of

working capital management of the company.

 Unawareness: Executives were unaware of many terms related to working capital

study while asking to them.

 Confidential Information: As the company on account of confidential report has not

disclosed some figures. Moreover, in some cases separate accounts of division are not

separately maintained thereby, leading to restrictions in study.

the effect of accounting standards issued on an-on-going basis and ensures they are
adopted as mandated by the ICAI.

2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company generally follows mercantile system of accounting and recognizes

significant items of income and expenditure on accrual basis.

GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
balances of assets, and liabilities and disclosure relating to contingent assets and
liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and
expenses during the period. Examples of such estimates include useful life of fixed
assets, provisions for doubtful debts, income taxes, write-off of deferred revenue
expenditures an intangible asset. Contingencies are recorded when it is probable that
liability will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

32

accrued in the same period in which the related revenue and expenses arise. A provision
is made for income tax annually, based on the tax liability computed, after considering
tax allowances and exemptions. Provisions are recorded when it is estimated that a
liability due to disallowances or other matters is probable
The differences that result between the profit considered for income taxes and the profit
as per the financial statement are identified, and thereafter a deferred tax asset or deferred
tax liability is recorded for timing differences, namely the differences that originate in
one accounting period and reverse in another, based on the tax effect of the aggregate
amount being considered. The tax effect is calculated on the accumulated timing
differences at the end of an accounting period, based on prevailing enacted or
substantially enacted regulations. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is
reasonable certainty that they will be realized and are reviewed for the appropriateness of
their respective carrying values at each balance sheet date.

12. BORROWING COSTS

METHODOLOGY

39
 RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. In

it step by step methods are followed to solve a particular problem. It refers to a

search for knowledge. It can also be defined as a scientific search for pertinent

information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investment.

Redman & mory defines research “systematized effort to gain new

knowledge.”

RESEARCH DESIGN

Research Designs the way in which the research is carried out. It works as a blue

print. Research Design is the arrangement of the conditions for the collections

and analysis of data in a manner that to combine relevance to the research

purpose with economy in procedure.

TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

 Exploratory Research Design

 Descriptive & Diagnostic Research Design

 Experimental Research Design

40
Exploratory Research Design

In it, a problem is formulated for precise investigation and working and

hypothesis are developed.

Descriptive & Diagnostic Research Design

In descriptive research design: those studies are taken which are concerned with

describing the characteristics of a particular individual or a group.

Experimental Research Design

In it casual relationships between the variables are tested. It is also known as

Hypothesis Testing Research Design

The present project is descriptive in nature. The major purpose of descriptive

research is the description of the state of affairs, as it exists in present. The main

characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over the

variables. He can only report what has happened or what is happening.

41
SAMPLE DESIGN

It is not possible for any researcher to include each and every member of the

universe in his research process. So, he selects small portion of the universe,

which is its true representative. This group is known as sample and this process

is called sampling.

Sampling Techniques can be categorized into two broad categories namely:

 Non-probability Sample

 Probability Sampling

Non-probability Sampling

In it, researcher selects sample deliberately, by using his own judgment, in it

every item of the universe does not have equal chances of inclusion in the

sample.

It can be of following type:

 Convenience Sampling
 Judgment Sampling
 Quota Sampling

42
 Probability Sampling

It is known as “Random Sampling” or “Chance Sampling”. In it, each population

element has equal chance of selection.

It can be of following types:

 Simple Random Sampling

 Stratified Sampling

 Cluster Sampling

In the present project, non-probability sampling has been used because sample is

selected by researcher’s own view and every item of the universe has not equal

chances of being selected. Under non-probability sampling, convenient sampling has

been used because sample has been selected according to own convenience.

43
DATA COLLECTION

The data can be of two types:

 Primary Data

 Secondary Data

Primary Data

Primary data are those data, which is originally collected afresh.

Secondary Data

Secondary data are those data which are already collected and stored and which

has been passed through statistical research.

In this project, Secondary data has been collected from following sources:-

• Annual report

• Books

• M.I.S

Other material and report published by company

Computation of Working Capital Method

A number of methods are used to determine working capital needs of a business. The

important among them are:

2. Operating Cycle Method

3. Forecasting of Current Assets and Current Liabilities Method

4. Cash Forecasting Method

5. Percentage of sales Method

6. Projected Balance Sheet Method

FINDINGS &
CONCLUSION

54
 FINDINGS

• L.T. Food ltd has the total share capital of Rs. 6,50,00,000 & issued subscribed &

paid up capital Rs. 6,00,81,280.

• As we see in the project report the current ratio of the company is1.43:1 & the

quick ratio of the company is .83:1. Here, the short-term financial position of the

company is not sound because its current ratio is 1.43, which is less than the ideal

ratio 2:1.Quick ratio of the company is .83:1, which is less than ideal ratio of

1:1.Both the ratio shows inefficient working capital. Therefore, it can be said that

the company is not in a position to pay its current liabilities in time.

• As we see in the project report the current ratio of the company is 2.16:1 & the

quick ratio of the company is 1.28:1. Here, the short-term financial position of the

company is sound because its current ratio is12.16:1, which is grater than the

ideal ratio 2:1.Quick ratio of the company is 1.28:1, which is grater than ideal

ratio of 1:1.Both the ratio shows efficient working capital. Therefore, it can be

said that the company is in a position to pay its current liabilities in time.

• From the starting L.T. Food Ltd is a loss making company. But from the year

2006 the company earns the profit and covers the all losses. Now the company is

a profit making company.

• The net profit of the company for the year ended 2007-2008 is Rs. 49808128.45.

• The turnover of the company is 943438801.

• The actual production of the basmati rice.

55
 Conclusion

• It can be observed that Current Ratio of LT Foods Ltd varied between 1.7776 to 2.0658

during the period from 2005-2008-2007. It is evident that, on an average, per one rupee

of current liability, the company has been maintaining 2.0216 rupee of current assets as a

cushion to meet the short- term liabilities. Usually, a Current Ratio of 2:1 is considered to

be the standard to indicate sound liquidity position, and LT Foods Ltd has been

successfully maintaining as a rule of thumb is 1:1 is considered satisfactory. In 2007-08 it

is 0.72 which again can be considered non satisfactory. It may not be able to meet its

current liabilities on time, which is not good sign for the enterprises.

• The inventory turnover ratio shows how rapidly the inventory is turning into receivables
through sales. This ratio has been continuously increasing since FY 2005-06 compared to
the 2004-05. A high inventory turnover indicates the efficient management of inventory
because more frequently the stocks are sold. So we can say that enterprises have a very
good turnover ratio. Thus LT Foods Ltd has a very good inventory management.

• Working Capital Turnover Ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm in utilizing the
working capital in the business. It varies between 2.74 times and 4.89 times. This ratio
signifies that on an average, a rupee of working capital generate Rs. 4.3107 worth of
business/sales of the firm, which is excellent for the management of the firm.

• The Debtors Turnover Ratio was highest (12.2688 times) in 2007-2008 and lowest
(9.1288 times) in 2006-2005 and average is 11.416 times. Debtors and Receivables
management appears to be excellent. More the number of times debtors' turnover, better
the liquidity position of the firm. The combined effect of better management of inventory
and debtors & receivables has enabled the firm to generate reported business of the firm.

56
• Average Collection Period is the relationship between no. Of days in a year and debtor
turnover ratio. Here in the FY 2004-05, FY 2005-06, FY 2006-07 and FY 2007-08 it is
30days, 39days, 30days and 30days. In the FY2005-06 it is increased but in the other FY
it is same. This is again good sign for the enterprise.
