Founded in 1948 and head quartered in Chennai, Ashok Leyland started manufacturing commercial vehicles in 1955, with technology from and equity participation by Leyland Motors Ltd, UK. In 1987, Hinduja Group jointly with IVECO, the commercial vehicle arm of Fiat, Italy, gained a controlling interest in Ashok Leyland and its associate companies when it acquired the UK-based Land Rover Leyland International Holdings Ltd (LRLIH). With its own comprehensive R&D base, strengthened by collaborations with global technology leaders, Ashok Leyland has established a tradition of technological leadership and a strong reputation for product reliability. The history of Company has been punctuated by a number of technological innovations, which have since become industry norms. For over three decades, Ashok Leyland has been a pioneer in the design and development of special vehicles for the armed forces.

Institute has been recently established at Burari near Delhi as a joint venture with the Government of NCT of Delhi. Ashok Leyland was the first automotive manufacturer in India to receive ISO 9002 certification in 1993. While the ISO 9001 certification came in 1994, the QS 9000 certification came in 1998. All the manufacturing Units of Ashok Leyland are ISO 14001 certified for their Environment Management System (EMS). In addition, the Company has taken up a ‘Greening the supply chain’ initiative so as to extend its commitment of a green environment to its suppliers. In its effort to convert its technological leadership into market leadership through improved customer satisfaction, the Company has been enhancing its product range by positioning customized models to suit geographical and application segments. The Company employs 12,000 people and has six manufacturing units with an annual capacity of 112500 vehicles.

1.2 Company History The origin of Ashok Leyland can be traced to the urge for self-reliance, felt by independent India. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister persuaded Mr. Raghunandan Saran, an industrialist, to enter automotive manufacture. In 1948, Ashok Motors was set up in what was then Madras, for the assembly of Austin Cars. The Company's destiny and name changed soon with equity participation by British Leyland and Ashok Leyland commenced manufacture of commercial vehicles in 1955.

Since then Ashok Leyland has been a major presence in India's commercial vehicle industry with a tradition of technological leadership, achieved through tie-ups with international technology leaders and through vigorous in-house R&D. Access to international technology enabled the Company to set a tradition to be first with technology. Be it full air brakes, power steering or rear engine busses, Ashok Leyland pioneered all these concepts. Responding S V INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, KADI BATCH 2007-09

to the operating conditions and practices in the country, the Company made its vehicles strong, over-engineering them with extra metallic muscles. "Designing durable products that make economic sense to the consumer, using appropriate technology", became the design philosophy of the Company, which in turn has moulded consumer attitudes and the brand personality. Ashok Leyland vehicles have built a reputation for reliability and ruggedness. The 500000 vehicles we have put on the roads have considerably eased the additional pressure placed on road transportation in independent India. In the populous Indian metros, four out of the five State Transport Undertaking (STU) buses come from Ashok Leyland. Some of them like the double-decker and vestibule buses are unique models from Ashok Leyland, tailor-made for high-density routes. In 1987, the overseas holding by Land Rover Leyland International Holdings Limited (LRLIH) was taken over by a joint venture between the Hinduja Group, the Non-Resident Indian transnational group and IVECO. (Since July 2006, the Hinduja Group is 100% holder of LRLIH). The blueprint prepared for the future reflected the global ambitions of the company, captured in four words: Global Standards, Global Markets. This was at a time when liberalization and globalization were not yet in the air. Ashok Leyland embarked on a major product and process up gradation to match world-class standards of technology. In the journey towards global standards of quality, Ashok Leyland reached a major milestone in 1993 when it became the first in India's automobile history to win the ISO 9002 certification. The more comprehensive ISO 9001 certification came in 1994, QS 9000 in 1998 and ISO 14001 certification for all vehicle manufacturing units in 2002. It has also become the first Indian auto company to receive the latest ISO/TS 16949 Corporate Certification (in July 2006) which is specific to the auto industry.

1.10 Environment Friendliness We are concerned about the earth our children will inherit. That's why we make sure our vehicles consume less, pollute less. This concern is reflected in the manufacturing systems, the various processes, energy conservation measures and conscious greening initiatives of the Company.” In 2002, all the vehicle-manufacturing units of Ashok Leyland were ISO 14001 certified with Environmental Management System.

Over the decades, Ashok Leyland's R&D engineers have been addressing the twin concerns of fuel-efficiency and emissions. Not surprisingly, when the legislation came in 1987, limiting vehicular emission, Ashok Leyland vehicles were already meeting them. In 1992, came the more stringent norms for gaseous emissions. By then, Ashok Leyland, through timely technology tie-ups - and ahead of competition - had absorbed and was offering eco-friendly engine technology. In 1996, when the permissible levels of gaseous exhaust emissions were further tightened, Ashok Leyland again met the norms with ease.

Interpretation: • Operating activities: The Ashok Leyland Ltd’s net cash flow from operations of 3612.70 (Rs In Millions) is more than the sum of accrual based profit & depreciation that equals Rs. 2231.81, showing that the profit has been fully realized in cash. From the cash flow statements, the main positive item is the depreciation charge of Rs. 1029.69. Thus the company’s earning can be said to be of high quality. Increase in Inventories was 1848.84 and increase in debtors is Rs. 254.16 resulted in strain on the cash generated from generation.

• Investing Activities: From the Investing Activities section; Ashok Leyland Ltd has incurred capital expenditures of Rs. 1243.20. The expenditure has been financed partly by: a) Realizing Rs. 11.61 from the Sales of Plant. b) Realizing Rs. 622.96 from the Sale Of Investments, Net OF Purchase. c) Interest Revenue Rs. 42.46.

 Composition of current ratio is very important at the time of interpretation. Current ratio indicates the sound short term finance from the creditor’s point of view. But on the other hand the higher ratio indicates blocking of funds in current assets. As a conventional rule, current ratio of 2:1 or more is considered satisfactory. To through more light on the quality of current assets the percentage of the current assets is to be calculated.  However, an arbitrary standard of 2:1 should not be blindly followed. Firm’s wit less then 2:1 current ratios may be doing well, while firms with 2:1 or even higher may be finding great difficulties in paying their bills. This is because the current ratio is a test of quantity not quality.  Current Ratio is 2.26 in 2002 – 2003 & decreased up to 1.54 in 2006 – 2007 because current liabilities increased rapid than the increase in current assets.  In the Current ratio it has been found decreasing than the base year, so it is not a favorable sign for the company, it should take certain measure to increase it.

• Quick Ratio or Acid Test Ratio: The Quick Ratio is a more absolute test of a firm’s ability to meet its immediate liabilities. It base on those current assets, which are highly liquid inventories, is excluded from the numerators of this ratio because inventories are deemed to be the least liquid component of current assets. Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Liquid Liability.

Quick Assets Ratio.

 Generally a quick ratio of 1:1 is considered to represent a satisfactory current financial condition. A quick ratio of 1:1 or more does not necessarily imply sound liquidity position.  A company with a high value of quick ratio can flounder if it has slow-paying, doubtful and stretched out-in-age receivables. On the other hand, a company with a low value of quick ratio may be prospering and paying its current obligation in time, if it has been managing its inventories very efficiently wit a continuous stability.  It has same effect as Current Ratio.  In year 2002–2003 the ratio was 1.57, which was highest & also satisfactory level. But then in year 2006–2007, it was decreased to 0.93. Because of rapid increase in liquid liabilities.

• Net Working Capital: This ratio represents that part of the long-term fund represented by the net worth & long-term dept, which are permanently blocked in current assets. Certain minimum level of safety stock, permanent customers unpaid bills, compensatory minimum bank balance & minimum cash balance are the example of permanent working capital. Net Working Capital = Total Current Assets – Total Current Liabilities.

CHAPTER 7 DU PONT CHART Profit margin & assets turnover are the two drivers of return on assets. The Du Pont System of financial analysis clearly brings out the effects of these two drivers on return on assets. A system is useful for analysis, which considers important inter relationship based on information found in financial statements.

Importance Of Du Pont Chart: Any decision affecting the product price per unit costs, volume or efficiency has an impact on the profit margin or turnover ratios. Similarly any decision affecting the amount & ratio of debt or equity used will affect the financial structure & the overall cost of capital of a company. Therefore, these financial concepts are very important to evaluate as every business is competing for Limited Capital Resources. Understanding the inter relationship among the various ratios such as turnover ratio, average & probability ratios helps companies to put their money areas where the risk adjusted return is the maximum. The chart used by “Du Pont Company” of U.S.A is known as Du Pont Chart. This is the Du Pont Chart applied to Ashok Leyland Ltd. At the left of the Du Pont Chart is the return on the assets defined as the product of the Net Profit Margin & the Total Assets Turnover Ratio. Net Profit Total Assets = Net Profit / Sales X Net Sales / Avg. Total Assets. Such decomposition helps in understanding how the Net Profit Margin & Total Assets Turnover Ratio influences the Return on Total Assets.

CHAPTER 8 Suggestions & Recommendations 1. The balance sheet figures are showing the declining trend since last few years. It should be the reason for higher inventory level which unnecessary blocked the money. For higher the profitability ratio of the firm, it is required to increase the sales along with:  New advertising techniques through latest media which are more effective and prestigious.  To increase the work efficiency of the workers as well as of the staff members, arrangement of different training programmes like meetings, seminars, conferences, coaching classes etc. is required.  For the innovation of new market, select capable market representatives who are more efficient to recover the more market share.  Try to maintain the quality level as per the market demand which satisfies the customers more. 2. In order to increase the profit the firm should keep proper control over the expenses retaliating to the purchase of goods, manufacturing and lab ours for that, proper supervision and timely comparison of actual with budgeted overheads should be taken. This will help the management to know the causes and taking competitive actions to reduce the expenses. In order to reduce the expenses relating to payment of interest, the firm should rely more on its share capital rather than borrowing loans and funds. Firm should also try to maintain proper balance between debt and equity. 3. To improve the liquidity position of the firm, proper working capital is necessary to recover the daily cash requirement. For that, the firm should:  Try to reduce the debt collection period which should be main sources for working capital.  Use more credit facility which is given by the creditors.  Firm should also use more short term loans to recover the working capital requirement because the interest rate for short term loans is less and it should be flexible to use. 4. In order to maximize wealth under uncertainty, the firm must pay enough dividends to satisfy investors. It should help to increase the moral of the investors and side by side also helps in long term financial strength of the firm. So, by increasing profits, the firm should pay dividends regularly.
