Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
As per Degree requirement to complete BBA(Fin.) Program at “ Arid Agriculture University
Rawalpindi”, I completed my Internship Program at “Kohinoor Spinning Mills Limited”. The
internship was of six regular weeks. The knowledge I gained from this internship will surely help
me in my practical life.
I worked in different departments of the mill (Stores, Accounts, Payroll, and Exercise) and
learned many things. My basic concern while working in the organization was to see whether the
concepts I was taught in the last 3 years match the reality or not? Whether the tools and
techniques I had studied in my degree the same in organization or was there a gap? I tried to
analyze these things in this report.
I learnt a lot from this time taking effort. This was first experience to interact with different types
of people in a work setting, to see emotions and feelings of the laborers and to manage all this.
How processes are actually done in the industry.
As per requirement, at the end of internship, I was required to submit a report at university. I
made this report with all my efforts by using what I learnt from this experience and in my
courses.
This report covers a series of areas that I took in an analytical way. Major portion of this report
has been devoted to work description and analysis of business processes especially in financial
perspective. Efforts were to explore the gap between literature and actual work practices in
industry. Analysis is done to see the performance of the company.

2.2. Business Process:
The mill is involved in spinning. Spinninig is the process by which yarn is produced. Here, at
Kohinoor, the ring spinning is used which follows the following process:
Plucking
Carding
Drawing
Comber
Simplex
Ring Cones
Insertion of twist into parallel fibers Transfer yarn from multi ring to
by means of rotating spindles one cone of standardized weight

Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
2.3. PEST Analysis:
PEST analysis checks the external environment in which the company operates. There are 4
main components of it, they are:
Political Environment:
Political environment has a strong pressure on the business of Kohinoor. Pakistan is a country
where there is no political stability. The government and the laws& regulations changes so
quickly. The presence of terrorism is another major factor that can easily effect the costumer’s
interest to invest or purchase from Pakistan because there is always a political risk involved in
transacting with Pakistan. That is why a large customer base of west has shifted its demand to
other countries like in the region i.e. India and Bangladesh.
Economical Environment:
Pakistan is suffering inflationary trends. Inflation has a direct relation with the sales of the
products. Although the conditions have got a bit stability but that too is uncertain. This
environment obviously influences the mill. The increasing inflation rate can cause an increase in
per unit cost of production. Low cost is a major signal in purchase behavior. This can easily
enable costumer to shift their demand to other countries as they are able to produce same quality
good at low cost. Fluctuations in exchange rate are another important factor. As the firm is
exchanged in foreign trade, the unexpected dollar movements are a major threat for the firm.
Socio-Culture Environment:
Social culture keeps on changing. The perception of people of the other countries about the
people of Pakistan e.g. that we can adopt the health and quality standards creates a negative
impact on Pakistani products abroad.
Technological Environment:
In the modern world, technology is an important thing for every organization to be competitive.
As a sign of good gesture, Kohinoor is using the advanced technology. New machinery is
available in mills as soon as deemed necessary. Effective Information System is also being used
by the company.

2.7. Ratio Analysis5
2.7.1. Internal Liquidity Analysis:
Current ratio:
Current ratio measures the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. Current
ratio of company is calculated below:
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠
Current Ratio = 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
2013: =1.011623
2012: =0.9334646
The ratio shows that company has PKR 1.011 of current assets to meet its short term liability of
worth rupee 1. Although, the ratio has shown improved from 2012 but still this is not good in
terms of results and will further be analyzed and seen in perspective of industry averages.
Quick ratio:
This ratio relates firm’s ability to meet its short term liabilities w2ith highly liquid assets that are
free from a heavy bulk of inventory.
𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠−𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦
Quick Ratio= 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
2013: 0.2132941
2012: 0.163122
Quick ratio is very bad. It is showing that the company has only 0.2 PKR of highly liquid assets
to meet a short term liability of PKR.1. It also indicates that company has a large inventory and
major portion of current assets is of inventory.
5
All of the calculations were done in MS Excel
23
Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
Cash Ratio:
It is most conservative liquidity ratio. It relates firm’s cash and marketable securities to current
liabilities. It is calculated below:
𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ+𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
Cash Ratio= 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐿𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
2013: 0.0340828
2012: 0.031632
This ratio is indicating a poor performance of company, clearly showing that company has a
minimal of cash to offset its current liabilities. On the other hand, if comparison is made, it has
also shown progress from 2012.
In addition to examine total liquid assets, it is also useful to analyze the liquidity of accounts
receivables by checking how many times the receivables are turned over (realized)
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
Receivable Turnover=𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠6
It is a very good figure indicating that receivables are turned over almost 121 times of Sales.
However, the figure was much more attractive in 2012.
We can also see the number of days it takes a firm to realize its receivables.
365
RTD= 𝑅𝑇
This indicates that receivables are realized after 3 days in 2013 but as compared to 2012 it has
decreased by a day.
6
Average rather than ending balance of recievables: 62078097+41104835/2
Internship Report on KSM
Inventory Turnover:
Inventory turnover measures the how many times inventory has been turned over or sold out. It
is a measure to check liquidity of inventory.
𝐶𝐺𝑆
Inventory Turnover7= 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦
it shows that inventory is sold out almost 4 times a year. This is not a good figure and shows that
firm has to maintain inventory for a long period which will eventually also result in increased
holding cost. On comparison, this ratio has decreased from previous year.
365
ITD= 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟
Company has to wait almost 96 days for its inventory to be sold out. This is not a good number
at all. KSM has to find some measures to reduce this.
It measures in how many days the firm pays back its payables.
𝐶𝐺𝑆
Payable Turnover Ratio= 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠
In a year company is able to pay its payables almost 17 times but this was much better in 2012.
From a lender’s perspective this can be a serious question.
7
Average amount of Inventory:
25
Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
Payables turnover (days):
365
Payable turnover (days)= 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜
It took almost 22 days for firm to pay back its debts. This ratio is increased from 2012 and can be
a serious concern from lenders perspective.
Cash Conversion Cycle is a useful measure of internal liquidity. It uses information from
receivables, inventory and payables.
C.C.C= 3+96-22=77days
Although, receivables and payables have good figures, but because of inventory period the Cash
Conversion is greater in days.
It examines how management uses its assets and capital, measured by dollars of sales generated
by various assets or capital categories.
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
TATO= 𝐴𝑣𝑔.𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠
Internship Report on KSM
2013: =1.86570675 times
This ratio must be compared with the whole industry as it varies from industry to industry. And
this is done latterly in industry analysis section.
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
Fixed Asset Turnover= 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠
2013: =3.913169652
2012: =3.615311293
Operating Profitability:
Profit margin
Return on capital employed
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the CGS from sales and it is computed as:
𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡
Gross profit margin = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
2013: =13.777767%
2012: =10.0165%
This indicates an increase in gross profit margin in 2013 as compared with 2012. However, it
would be useful to compare this ratio with the average industry.
27
Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
Operating Profit Margin:
𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇
Operating Profit Margin=
𝑆𝐴𝐿𝐸𝑆
2013: =9.2091%
2012: =6.8096%
An increase in Operating profit is evident from this ratio. This ratio must also be seen in
comparison of the industry
This ratio relates the net profit/ net income (income after taxes) to the net credit sales. This can
be computed as:
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒
Net Profit Margin= 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠
2013: =4.2619%
2012: =1.8907%
It is good to know that firm has managed well here too in 2013 And the net profit as a percentage
of sales although just 4% but has been increased if compared with 2012.
This ratio relates firm’s earnings to all the invested capital involved in the company. It can be
calculated as:
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒+𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒
ROCE= 𝐴𝑣𝑔.𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙
2013: =0.482124
2012: =0.427798
Firm has earned almost 4.8% of all investments been made by the shareholders.
Internship Report on KSM
Return On Equity:
This ratio is of extreme importance for the share holders as it indicates the rate of return
management has gained by investing the capital provided by the share holders. It can be
calculated as:
𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒
ROE= 𝑆𝐻𝐸
2013: =0.25399238
2012: =0.13630291
Return on equity remained close to 2.5%. it has shown an increase over time evident from 2012’s
figure i.e. 1.36%. This ratio will also be seen when comparison will be made with industry.
Return on Assets:
This ratio measures the return on the total assets. It can be calculated by the formula:
𝑛𝐸𝑇 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒
ROA= 𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑠
2013: =7.1394%
2012: =3.5954%
A good increase in ROA can be seen from the figures. There is almost an increase of 3.5% in
ROA as compared with last year. However, for further elaboration, it will be seen with industry
averages.
29
Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
Leverage Analysis:
Debt Leverage:
This ratio indicates the extent to which debt financing is used relative to equity financing. This
can be measured as:
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑒𝑏𝑡
Debt Leverage= 𝑆𝐻𝐸
2013: =1.6047514
2012: =1.7721198
Interest Coverage:
This ratio tells how many times interest is earned. It can be calculated by:
𝐸𝐵𝐼𝑇
Interest Coverage=𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒
This shows that company is able to earn interest 2.4 times. This ratio is also showing an increase
from 2012.
Internship Report on KSM
Industry Analysis:
Some of major ratios are selected here and are compared and analyzed with the whole industry
average.
Now let’s analyze these figures. If we see current ratio, it wasn’t looking good independently but
if seen in context of the whole industry, the firm has done better as the ratio is more than the
industry average.
As identified earlier, the firm is performing poorly in its inventory turnover and can be seen that
it is much more than the average. This is weakness of the organization.
The firm is performing well in case of collection of receivables and assets turnover. The margin
of firm is also high than industry indicating a good profitability of firm.

2.4. Porter five forces Analysis (Competitive Analysis) :
Michel porter identified five different kinds of forces. These forces are analyzed for Kohinoor
mill as under:
There is always a threat that new entrants can come with new technology. There is minimal
number of financial barriers to the entry in the industry. However, shortfall of gas and electricity
now-a-days is a challenge to entry in this industry. On the other hand, a large number of existing
firms do make it difficult for others to enter.
Threats of substitutes:
There is no threat of substitute for the firm because other spinning mills are offering the same
products. Even, in the near future, nothing can replace the cotton or yarn.
As there are so many industries in the sector that are offering the same kind of product, So, the
bargaining power of costumers is very high. Because if costumer feels that he can get the same
quality good at low price he will shift his buying function to that producer.
As in the case of buyers, here too, because of presence of too many suppliers of raw materials,
bargaining power lies in hands of the firms and for supplier this power is very low.
Existing Rivalry:
As stated earlier, there are too many firms operating in this (textile) sector. Because of this fact,
there exists a fierce competition among these firms.
Internship Report on KSM
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
Kohinoor is one of the oldest industries in the area. The major strength is its name in the market.
Some strength is summarized below:
Highly skilled and trained labor which know what to do and how to do it.
Biometric system of attendance (entry and exit)
Workers benefit programs
Availability of excellent and new machinery. The mill is equip[ped with modernized
machines and machines are upgraded as soon as new model came.
Iso certifications. Especially ISO9001 quality certified
Working in the market where cheap labor is available
Already Engaged in foreign trade and export goods to counties like USA, Canada, Korea
An effiecient information system
Presence of centralized system that connects all mills to the head office of chakwal group
of industries
An increasing profit despite of the bad market conditions.
An increasing EPS and DPS.
A high current ratio and good liquidity
High profit margin.
Excellent treatment of scrap
Excellent receivable ratio, showing that receivables are converted back into cash within
almost 4 days
The firm is performing well in case of profitability margins and turnovers if compared
with the industry
Independence from load shedding of gas
33
Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
Weakness:
As analysis of statements showed that CGS is about 80% of the net Sales, which means that
despite of the fact that sales are high, a large number of amount from sales shows cost of
manufacturing these goods.
Inventory turnover is very high and is of 96 days meaning company has to wait 96 days for its
inventory to be sold out. The consequence of this can be seen in cash cycle. Where inventory
turnover is clearly enlarging the time period.
One general manager is controlling too many departments that can cause lower productivity.
Lowering prices of Petrol has created an opportunity for to firm to perform well as it doesn’t
manufacture by consuming Gas but is working on electricity and the power shut down can be
reduced as the cost of using generators has been decreased. The falling prices of US Dollar have
also created an opportunity for Kohinoor to expand its existing international trade. At the same
time this hap hazardous movement of USD against PKR can be a threat for the mill. It is
important that a great care must be given while making any new forward or future contract.
Obviously the mill has threat from international market especially the mills of India, Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka. These industries have edge of low cost labor and material. Governmental controls
would remain to be a treat for the company. In a very similar pattern, the imposition of quotas on
import of cotton from Pakistan by international community would also be a threat.

For convinence of report writing, the work will be divided according to the work performed in
different departments instead of weeks.
A company wide information system developed in Oracle is used. All the units and mills are
connected to the head office in Lahore and are connected with head office via that system. Every
department updates the information and sends it to head quarter on daily basis.
Stores Department:
Store department deals with issuance of materials and also deals with the handling of spare parts.
Here in this department my job was to sit there and check the process that how demand orders
are made etc, in the last days I also made demand order to headquarter via software.
Here, as soon as the demand is generated by the department, the clerk of that department sends a
written departmental demand order to the store office, store office in turn, creates a demand by
using software and sends that demand request to head office. Head office generates a purchase
order, by this purchase order a goods receipt note is generated. This note is then issued and
requisition is made, after which it’s up to the department to accept or reject that item. Items are
rejected if not found proper, up to the demand.
Although, the process looks so simple, but it is complex indeed. The presence of the software
helps a lot in making the process simple. The department also deals with the spare parts of the
machinery. As soon as department makes demand for machinery or spare part of that machinery
the stores and spares department deals with the situation. The department is also connected with
all other departments and machinery lab and to the I.T office via network server.
Internship Report on KSM
I found this department to be the busiest department of all departments in the mill off course
after production department. The workforce seems too stressful and it is recommended to give
them breaks and motivate them. I see a lack of motivation in the work force, a strong top-down
hirerical management style which is not a good sign for the quality aspect of the organization.
Lack of employee motivation and employee involvement are also not a good sign. Stress
obviously can lead to job dissatisfaction and which in turn as indicated by literature will lead to
the turnover.
To my knowledge, the work done is according to what we studied in our course of “Cost
Accounting”. I felt happy seeing that theory is applicable in the practical work. The process is
almost same what we studied in the “Demand requisition” portion of the subject.
Excise:
Excise department deals with raw material demand of the spinning section. As it is a spinning
mill, the raw material required is cotton and the finished product is thread. Excise department
deals with this inventory. There are three kinds of inventory in the mill; the raw material
inventory, the processing inventory and the finished goods inventory.
As soon as the raw material demand is made by the department to the excise office, the office
issues the material required by the production department. This demand is made on daily basis
and raw material also comes on daily basis. The department also forecasts the demand of daily
requirements and checks the error after production reports come. The production report is also
made on daily basis by the production department.
Excise department also makes reports on daily basis to check how much was there in raw
material, how much is used and how many bales are left. It also deals with finished goods
inventory. As soon as the goods are finished it is told to the head quarter.
Although the people there were unfamiliar from the name but the department is using the
Japanese approach of “Just in Time” and orders for raw material as soon as it is required. A
minimal stock is maintained in the mill. By this mill is trying to avoid its storage cost.
The department is also dealing with the scrap. Every morning the proceeds of no use are loaded
in trucks and are send for disposal to the safe places. For the rest, the same accounting
procedures are used as learnt in the course. Sometimes, if seen feasible rework is done and if not
seen feasible scrap is sold at the time when it would be profitable, let say a week or a month. A
proper bidding process is used for this treatment.

Again to my utmost happiest feelings the work done in the department was the same as learnt in
the course. I must appreciate the people of the department who as compared to the work force of
other departments are collaborative and involved in their jobs. I tried to produce production
report sample but due to company’s secrecy I can’t disclose that.
Payroll Department:
Payroll department maintains the payroll of the employees. There are workers who are at daily
wages and then there are also employees working on fixed salary. The department maintains a
complete database of the employees’ data by using the same software and updates the data on
daily basis. In fact, the data about the employee’s salary is automatically updated by the
attendance system.
When an employee (whatever rank he/she has) enters the organization, he has to show his
identity card in front of a reader, that reader after identifying the employee asks the employee for
finger impressions after which the entry time of that employee is saved automatically. The very
same procedure is adopted at the time of exit of employee from the firm.
There are 2600 employees working in the mill. The minimum wage is 10,000 PKR. An
employee is allowed 10 paid leaves during a year. All the employees of the mill are getting social
security benefit and Rs. 80 is deducted from the salary of every individual.

ANALYSIS

Syed Danial Hashmi; 2015
In this section, I will discuss what I have learnt from this experience and how work is done in the
industry and the gap between actual work done and the theory.
These 6 weeks have proven on me a hectic time but helped me a lot in my understanding of
different concepts of theory and their practical implications. Let me first discuss the bitter reality
I have learnt and that it is hard to do anything without reference in industry.
I had to go back to Chakwal my native city for this internship. In the meanwhile, I also had to
come back to Rawalpindi as my family is living here. This made my routine very hectic and I
realized many un explainable things. Once during the internship, I had experienced a local bus
drive of 2 hours on the seat behind driver seat ( in fact not a seat but a bench) and the drive was
on the broken roads that caused me pain in my backbone and I had to consult physician. I
experienced how difficult it is to work at any other place and especially for the people with no
transport of their own.
I have seen poverty very closely during this internship. I met different people and know their
lives. Many of them are living a miserable life. Obviously, in an inflationary economy where
even basic needs are getting out of one’s pocket whatever you are getting as income seems less.
This was also a major concern of many employees that they are being payed less because
obviously every person is also seeing his expenses and income.
I got how to work with workers. They were reluctant while talking to me or telling me anything.
Initially, I felt like an alien there but adjusted with time. The old workers used to tell stories of
their times and I was there all the time to listen to them anxiously. It was too hot inside the
production area and too noisy too that I was unable to hear voices of many. Obviously these are
the things I could never have learnt in my 4 year stay at university.
Now I will discuss the technical aspects. I am sure what I have learnt during these 6 weeks will
prove excellent in my future practical life. I am amazed to know that theory is being applied in
practical/ actual industry too. The presence of accounting terminologies and methodologies
helped me a lot in doing the work. During my stay at the organization I also saw the IT
infrastructure of the organization. Definitely, there exists a good information system but there are
some loops too.
Internship Report on KSM
The concepts of cost and managerial accounting helped me a lot. As, mill is an entity where
accounts play an important role. When I went in main process/ production department, I realized
the importance of the subject “Production and Operations Management” and “Project
Management”.
However, I must say that to some extent the organization is lacking to be a “Total Quality
Organization”. ISO certification is just a step towards Total Quality Organization. Although, the
company focuses on Customer satisfaction and to some extent on continuous improvement but
these alone can’t lead to be a Quality organization.
I have seen a lack of employee motivation and employee morale, an increased job stress. It is
recommended that techniques like job rotation and job enlargement must be considered. There is
no role of employees’ even managers in decision making process. This can lead to “Agency
problem”. Firm in fact the parent (Chakwal group) should do things to minimize this problem.
I have also seen how the firm is engaged in trade and the helpfulness of the derivative securities
in hedging the imports and exports of the company. The practical application of options and
contracts (Forwards and Futures) is same as illustrated in theory.
I would definitely like to improve my HR skills. I think I am a bit rude type of person in work
setting which I need to change. Overall, it was a very good experience that gave me an
opportunity to learn a lot.

Conclusion
Internship Report on KSM
These six weeks were an excellent experience for me. I learnt many things (both technical and
non-technical). I hope this experience will help me in my future life when I will go to industry
after degree. Kohinoor is working well in industry as indicated by the industry analysis but it is
still recommended that company shall improve its HR department as lack of motivation is very
much evident. Presence of accounting software and company wide information system is also a
good thing.
I must say that these kinds of work experiences provide excellent exposure to students like me. I
was lucky that was able to see the work and do it practically unlike many other internees. I learnt
many things and will keep them in mind for future. I hope that this work will prove helpful to me
Insha’Allah.
