EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION:
Shri Laxmi Narayan Chemicals and Fertilizers is a Private Limited Company, registered
under Indian Companies Act, 1956. The company has the paid up capital of 200 lakhs .The
Company was launched on June, 2006 and the production will commence by second week of
March 2007. We have advanced technology of fertilizer granulation with a per day output of
150 MT. The factory is situated in such a locality that transportation by road and by rail is
very convenient. Factory site is about 10 km from Hubli and 9 kms from Dharwad and is on
the Hubli - Dharwad Road and is located on the National Highway. Dharwad is the District
Head Quarter. Since Hubli is situated in the centre of Northern Karnataka and is an important
commercial centre the availability of trucks is good to districts like Belgaum, Dharwad,
Haveri,Bagalkot, Bellary, Koppal, Davanagere, Shimoga which forms the economic
marketing zone in the radius of 100/200 kms. Apart from the above we have following
advantages: We are equipped with a advanced quality control laboratory for quality assurance
Right from procurement of raw materials, processing, production. Packing and storage are
monitored by well qualified technical staff. Company is very much interested in value
addition to the NPK mixtures by adding micro nutrients. One of our directors himself is
technically qualified doctorate in Soil science which is an added advantage. Company is
having a strong financial backing which will help in purchasing raw material in advance
The easiest way to evaluate the performance of the firm is to compare its present
balance sheet with the past balance sheet. When balance sheet over a period are compared. It
gives the indication of direction of change and reflects whether the firm’s financial
performance has improved, deteriorated or remained constant over time. The company should
determine these changes, but more importantly understand why comparative balance sheet
they have changed. Comparative balance sheet demonstrates a company's ability to pay its
current obligations. A class of financial metrics is used to determine a company's ability to
pay off its short term debt obligations. Instead of finding the balance sheet, maintaining
physical records of all transactions Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software could be
effectively used to manage all such time consuming work.

CHAPTER – I
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE:
Sector details:
Indian Fertilizer industry is one industry with scope in future. India is primarily
agriculture oriented country and its economy is highly based on the aggregate produce the
agricultural sector and its other associated spares provide employment to a large section at the
country’s population and share about 25%to the GDP. The Indian fertilizer industry is one of
the allied sectors of the agricultural spares. India has emerged as the third largest producer of
nitrogenous fertilizers.
In recently production has gone up to extent that there is scope for export of food
grains the surplus has been foliated by the way of chemical fertilizers. The large scale of
chemical fertilizers has been instrumental in bringing about green revolution in India.
The fertilizer industry in India began its journey way back in 1906.during this period
the first single super phosphate factory was established in Reanimating Chennai. In pre and
post-independence era a couple of large scale fertilizers unit like as fertilizer corporation of
India in shindri ,Bihar and the fertilizer and chemical of India in Cochin ,Kerala was
established. At present there are 57 large scale fertilizers units. The units manufacture an
extensive range of phosphate, nitrogenous and complex fertilizers 37 units are engaged in
manufacturing of Urea while is of them produce calcium ammonium nitrate and ammonium
sulphate. The remaining 20 fertilizers plants produce complex fertilizer and DAP. There is
also a member of medium and small scale industries in operation.

For long Indian farmer use the traditional fertilizer such as manures to grow crops. Though
they were helpful but it became extremely important to meet the demands the countries food
requirement. So the use of modern fertilizers became the need of the hour. Presently the
minister of chemicals of and fertilizer is the administrative unit of two departments.
There are about 57 large fertilizer plants in the country producing major fertilizers such as
urea, ammonium sulphate, calcium ammonium nitrate etc.
But the demand for bio fertilizer has increased in the recent times because the
excess use of some of the above fertilizer can seriously affect the crops as
well as health. The demand of bio fertilizer is about 6, 27,000 MT.
India is today is the third largest producer of nitrogenous fertilizers in the world. There
are at present 63 fertilizer units manufacturing a wide range of nitrogenous and complex
fertilizers, including 38 units producing urea and 9 units producing ammonium sulphate
as a by-product. Besides there are about 79 units producing single super phosphate.

The production capacity of nitrogen has increased from a modest 85000 tonnes in 1951-52 to
105.20 lack tones of p205 during the same period. Against the nominal production of 16000
tonnes of nitrogen and 29.76 lack tones of p205 in 1951-52, the country produced 100.86 lack
tones of nitrogen and 29.76 lack tones of p205 during 1997-98
The public sector has been playing a dominant role in the fertilizer industry. The first state
owned fertilizer units were set up in 1951 at Sindri in Bihar which was followed by another
plant at Nan gal in Punjab. With the coming up of another fertilizer plan at Torbay, the
government decided to bring all the public sector fertilizer units under the management of a
single undertaking and the fertilizer corporation of India (FCI) was accordingly incorporated
in January 1961. At present, there are nine public sector undertaking under the administrative
control of department of fertilizers. FCI has now four units one each at sindri (Bihar),
Gorakhpur (U.P), Talker (Orissa) and Ramagundam (Andra Pradesh). Other fertilizer plants
under the control of other undertakings are locates at Bhatinda, Panipat, Tromby, Nmrup,
Cochin, Pradeep, Talcher and Rourkela.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:
The process of chemical fertilizer production can be divided into 3 stages, they are as
follows:
Primary stage
Secondary stage (core process)
Final stage
Primary stage
In this stage raw materials which are required for producing of fertilizer such as urea,
Di-Ammonium Phosphate, MOP single user phosphate, fill materials (Bentonate powder) and
Neam will be stored in the Hoppers through which the production process initializes.
c) In hopper mail elevator, urea DAPS and MOP and in ‘slat conveyer’, SSP, Benton ate
powder and Neam powder will be stored.
d) Hammer mill elevator and slot conveyer are connected with ‘ Piddle Mixture’
Through mixed Material belt conveyer cross belt conveyer. Piddle mixture thoroughly
mixes the raw materials of required quantity of each material. This mixture is passed on to
core or secondary process through mixed materials belt elevator.

a) Water mixing
b) Heating and
c) Cooling
The mixture through belt elevator gets into ‘Granulated Drum’ in which it’s mixed
with required quantity of water and creates moisture.
The ‘Granulated Drum’ is connected directly to ‘dryer drum; which is liked with
‘furnace’ and involved ‘dryer fen’. The water mixture is new supplied with the maximum
temperature through furnace. At the same time, dryer san removes moisture by providing
fresh air. By this process, urea started melting.
The hot mixture is transferred to ‘cooler fan’ and cooler mixture concentrates in
bucket elevator’. Thus, core process there by ends.
Final stage:
At this stage, the cooled material is concentrated in bucket elevators. It will be the
form of cyclical crystal. Usually the proposed diameter of these crystal range from 1.5mm to
4mm so ‘’ dryer cooler” so as to bring them a required shape and size. Finally, the produced
crystal is collected in “finished product Hopper” weight and packaging activities will be
done.
At present the SLN is producing about 100 to 134 tons of fertilizer daily, but project
daily production is 150 tons. Because of this, many efforts have been done in production to
Touch 150. Such as increase works house, over duty payment with high rates,
procurement of some equipment, tools and raw materials and employ additional labours in
seasons.

DETAILSOFSLNPRODUCTS
N.P.K-Nitrate, Phosphate & Potassium are the basic three elements which are essential for
chemical fertilizers. They help us in increasing fertility of soil and ensures high rate of yield
to the farmers. These elements provide to the farmers essential nutrients and other basic
requirement through which a plant can grow healthy. But, it is to be noted that chemicals
have adverse effect on the fertility of soil. Therefore, one should be knowledgeable and
cautious regarding quantities of each chemical while applying them to the fields.
The SLN produces different granulated fertilizers mixtures and the proportion of each
chemical i.e., N,P&K, which differ by one mixture to another.

RAW MATERIALS
Now a day’s fertilizer companies are greatly suffering from shortage of required Raw
materials they are not adequately available in our country to meet demands of number of
fertilizer industries located in India is totally dependent of number of fertilizer industries
located in India. Therefore, many of the chemicals are import form foreign courtiers. For
instance, India is totally dependent on Germany for potassium (k) in addition to this; India is
importing phosphoric acid and naphtha from Russia, France, and from Germany to some
extent.

RECEIVABLES MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION TO RECEIVABLES:
Receivables, also termed as trade credited or debtors are component of current asset. When a
firm sells its product credit, account receivables are credited.
Account receivables are the money receivables in some future date for the credit sale of
goods and services at present. These days, most business transaction are the in credit. Most
companies, when they face competition, use credit sales as an important tools for the sale
promotion. A sale promotion tool, credit sale enhance firm’s sales revenue and ultimately
pushes up the profitability. But after the credit sale has been made, the actual collection of
cash may be delayed for months.
As these late payments stretch out over time, they may cause substantial drop in a company’s
profit margin. Since the extension of credit involves both cost and benefits, the firm’s
manager must be able to measure them to determine the ultimate effect of credit sales. In this
prospective, we define the receivables management as the aspect of a firm’s current assets
management, which is concerned with determining optimum credit policy associated to a
firm, such that the benefit from extensions of the credit is greater than the cost of maintaining
investment in accounts receivables.
Receivables means book debt or debtors. So receivables arises if the goods the sold on credit.
The sale of goods on credit is an essential part of the modern competitive system.
Receivables are the claim of the company against its customer. The receivables are the
carried for the customers. The period of the credit depends upon the credit policy followed by
the firm. Debt involves an element of risk and bad debts also. Hence it calls for careful
analysis and proper management. The gaols of receivables management is to maximise the
value of the firm by achieving a trade-off between risk and profitability.

According to Robert .N. Anthony “account receivables are amounts owed to the business
enterprise, usually by its customers. Sometimes it is broken down into trade accounts
receivables; the formers refers to amount owed by customers, and latter refers to amount
owed by employees and others;
According to PrasannaChandra, “The balance in the receivables account would be; average
daily credit sales x average collection period.”
In the words other f S.E. Bolton the objective of receivables management is “to promote sale
and profits and until that point is reached where the return on investment in further funding of
receivables is less than the cost of funds raised to finance that additional credit. “

I. Level of sale
The volume of sale is the best indicator of accounts receivables. It differs from one firm to
another.
The credit policy are another major force of determine in deciding the size
of the accounts receivables. There are two types of credit policies.
The terms of the trade are normally bifurcated into two categories viz credit
period and cash discount.
Costs
37
DEPT OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES [KACD]
S.L.N CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS, PVT LTD
The major categories of costs associated with the extension of credit and accounts receivables
are:
1. Collection Cost
2. Capital Cost
3. Delinquency cost
4. Default cost
Collection Cost:
Collection costs are administrative costs incurred in collecting the receivables from
the customers to whom credit sales have been made.
Capital Cost:
The increased level of accounts receivable is an investment in assets. They have to be
financed thereby involving a cost to meet the firm’s own obligation while waiting for
payment from its customers.
Delinquency Cost:
This cost arises out of the failure of the customers to meet their obligations when
payment on credit sales becomes due after the expiry of the credit period.
Default Cost:
The firm may not be able to recover the over dues because of the inability of the
customers. Such debts are treated as bad debts and have to be written off as they
cannot be realized.
Benefits
38
DEPT OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES [KACD]
S.L.N CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS, PVT LTD
Apart from the costs, another factor that has a bearing on accounts receivable management is
the benefit emanating from credit sales. The benefits are:
Credit sale is oriented to sales expansion either by increased sales to existing customers or
to attract new customers.
Credit sales enable the firm to protect its current sales against emerging competition. Here
the motive is sales retention.
A relatively liberal credit policy and therefore, higher investments in receivables will
produce large sales.
The extension of trade credit has a major impact on working capital, sales, costs and
profitability.
CREDITPOLICIES
The accounts receivable management should aim at a trade-off between profit (benefit) and
risk (cost). That is to say, the decision to commit funds to receivables will be based on a
comparison of the benefits and costs involved, while determining the optimum level of
receivables. The credit policy of a firm provides a framework to determine
1. Credit Standards
2. Credit Analysis
3. Credit terms
4. Collection Policy and Procedures
39
DEPT OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES [KACD]
S.L.N CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS, PVT LTD
1. Credit Standards:
The term credit standards represent the basic criteria for the extension of credit to customers.
The quantitative basis of establishing credit standards are factors such as credit ratings, credit
references, average payment period and certain financial ratios. The overall standards are
divided into (a. tight or restrictive and b. liberal or non-restrictive). The credit standards have
implications on the collection costs, investment in receivables, bad debt expenses and sales
volume.
2. Credit Analysis:
Besides establishing credit standards, a firm should develop procedures for evaluating credit
applicants. Two basic steps are involved in the credit analysis and investigation process.
3. Credit Terms:
The management must now determine the terms and conditions on which trade credit will be
made available. The stipulations under which goods are sold on credit are referred to as credit
terms. Credit terms have three components.
Credit period, in terms of the duration of time for which trade credit is extended-during
this period the overdue amount must be paid by the customer.
Cash discount, if any, which the customer can take advantage of, i.e., the overdue amount
will be reduced by this amount.
Cash discount period, which refers to the duration during which the discount can be
availed of. It is usually written in abbreviations, e.g., ‘2/10 net 30’. Here ‘2’ signifies rate
of cash discount (2%), ‘10’ represents time duration (10 days) and ‘30’ means maximum
period for which credit is available is 30 days.

Degree of collection effort- it can be either a strict collection effort or a lenient one.
Type of collection effort- it includes letters, reminders, telephone calls, personal visits,
help of collection agencies or finally legal action.
STEP ONE: The first step in the collection process is to send the debtor a past due
INVOICE stating their account is 30 days past due and payment must be received within 14
days or their account maybe subject to further collection efforts. It is important to DO
CUMENT each contact you make with the debtor; this will make your job easier down the
line for more aggressive collection approaches.
STEP TWO: After 14 days, contact the debtor by PHONE and kindly REMIND them of
their outstanding debt, because in some cases they may have simply forgot about the bill and
sometimes will pay in full or make partial payment. After making your phone call to the
debtor, allow an additional 14 days for payment to be received before sending a letter of
demand for payment.
STEP THREE: A Demand for payment may be needed after the debt is 60 days past due,
include all documentation supporting the debt. Mail a letter, along with a copy of the past due
invoice, and any other supporting documentation to the debtor. State in the letter that
payment must be received within 10 days or the account will be turned over to a collection
AGENCY.
STEP FOUR: Collection agency services may be needed to collect debts beyond 60 days
past due. It is important to start the collection process early. Do not wait until the account is

1-2 years past due, because as time passes the debt becomes increasingly DIFFICULT to
collect and collection agencies typically charge higher fees for older accounts. The collection
agency will then mail the client a validation, which is a letter that states the balance due and
to whom the original creditor the debt is owed. The debtor then has 30 days to dispute the
debt, if after 30 days no dispute is received, the debt is assumed VALID and the collection
process continues. If you decide to send a account to a collection agency. It is very important
that you cease all communications with the debtor. Be sure to give the collection agency all
the documentation available about the debtor as it will make the collection process easier
with the more information you can provide.

into cash over short period and thus included in current assets. Debtors includes the amount
of Bills Receivables and book debts at the end of accounting period. It is most essential that a
reasonable quantitative relationship between Outstanding Receivables and Sale should
always be maintained. If the firm has not been able to collect its debtors within a reasonable
time, its funds are unnecessarily locked up in Receivables. Infunds are unnecessarily locked
up in Receivables. In such case short-term loans have to be arranged for paying off its current
liabilities. The liquidity position of the firm depends on quality or liquidity of debtors –

DATA ANALYSIS
Trade credit arises when a firm sells its products or services on credit and dos not receive
cash immediately. It is an essential marketing tool, acting as a bridge for the movement of
goods through production and distribution stages to consumers. Trade credit creates Accounts
Receivables or Trade debtors (also referred to as Book Debts in India) that the firm is
expected to collect it in the near future.
