Interpretation: It is appeared that

from 2012 to 2013 companys

decreasing
because company has paid of its
current liability. And in 2013 to
2014 company invested in current
assets and company didnt pay
their current liabilities. Again in
2014 to 2015 company paid its
current liability from its current
assets. And from 2012 to 2015
company is regularly investing in
fixed assets and company is taking
loan for purchasing fixed assets.
This will result in expansion of

As it is shown in above the Company is

using its assets specially fixed assets more
efficiently in the year 2011 but also has a
regular decrement in this ratio. The reason
behind this is that they have overestimated
the demand for their product. It is also
going low because of manufacturing
problems of bottleneck in the value chain
that held up production during the year
and resulted in fewer than anticipated
sales.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The net working capital (NWC) of VBL is not at the satisfactory position all the
last five years from 2011 to 2015, because it showed a negative networking
capital which indicates a less liquidity reserve of the company.

The fixed assets of VBL are efficiently used to generate sales.

VBL is in the better condition regarding the operating efficiency during the
last five years as it has produced the acceptable operating profit margin.

VBL has not achieved an enough return on investment, which indicates the
bad management in generating profits with its available assets.

VBL has a low return on capital employed which indicates the less effective
management in generating profits with its total capital employed during
2011-2015

RECOMMENDATIONS

VBL can increase its current assets more by enhancing the accounts
receivable and can decrease its current liabilities by reducing its short
term loan

The Company can try to increase its quick assets like-cash, accounts
receivable and marketable securities.

It also can reduce inventory to improve its inventory turnover ratio.

Companys management should be more efficient in utilizing the

companys capital to generate sales.

The Companys management should be more efficient in utilizing the

companys total assets to generate sales.

RECOMMENDATIONS

It should aim to achieve optimum capital structure by reducing debt capital as well as by
increasing equity capital to finance its total assets.

The Company ought to enhance its earnings by accelerating its sales as well as by
minimizing its operating costs in order to get adequate earnings.

VBL should make an effort to increase its sales and manage its cost of goods sold efficiently.

The Company can enhance its sales by managing the operating cost efficiently.

It should amplify its managements ability to operate the business by enhancing sales with
the cost price effectiveness of the operation.

The Company should try hard to intensify its efficiency in utilizing the firms assets to
generate adequate profitability.

LIMITATIONS

Limitations of financial statements

Problems of price level changes

Lack of adequate standard

Limited use of single ratios

Personal bias

Incomparable:

Time frame of this report was very limited. It was really tough to know details about a
giant company like- VARUN BEVERAGES Ltd within a short span of time.

Sometimes I could not communicate with the respective personnel of VARUN

BEVERAGES Ltd properly as they are very busy.
