INTRODUCTION:FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Finance refers to the management of flows of money through an organization. Finance is defined as the provision of money at the time when it is required. Every enterprise, need finance to carry on its operations and to achieve its target. Without adequate finance no enterprise can possibly accomplish its objectives. Therefore, here we are going to analyze the capital structure of the hindalco industries ltd. Finance is regarded as the lifeblood of a business enterprise. This is because in the modern money oriented economy, finance is one of the basic foundations of all kinds of economic activities. It is the master key, which provides access to the entire source for being employed in manufacturing and merchandising activities. It has rightly been said that business needs money to more money. However, it is also true that money begets more money, only when it is properly managed. Hence, efficient management of every business enterprise is closely linked efficient management of its finances. In this study, an attempt has been made to conduct an analysis and interpretation of the financial performance of the Hindalco Industries Limited for the period from 2008-2009 to 2012-2013. The study includes an attempt to analyze the annual report of Hindalco Industries Ltd. for evaluating its physical, financial and operating performance. The researcher intends to cover the working capital management, capital structure, financial management and accounting policies and practices of the company. The methodology adopted in this study includes ratio analysis, comparative balance sheets, cash flow statements, schedule of working capital changes and trend analysis using secondary data.

38
overall strength and competency. Hence, the researcher intends to cover the financial an indepth study of financial management system of the company for the reference period The way in which the study is conducted and the interpretations drawn gives room for real and practical experience of financial practices that guides the industry and economy in general. The test of success of a business enterprise is its ability to earn profit and continue its operation and growth. Profit may be considered as an index of success. Financial planning results in the formation of the financial plan. It is primarily a statement estimating the amount of capital and determining its composition. Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strength and weakness of the firm by properly establishing relationship between the item of balance sheet and P/L account. According to Kennedy and Memuilez, "The analysis and interpretation of financial statement are an attempt to determine the significance and meaning of the financial statements data so that a forecast may be made of the prospects for future earning capacity, ability to pay interest and debt maturities and profitability of a sound dividend policy.

For the establishment of a firm, assets are required and assets of the company can be financed either by increasing owners claim or creditors claim. The owners claim increase when firm raises fund by issuing ordinary shares or by retaining the earning ; the creditors claims increases by borrowing. The various means of financing represent the financial structure of the enterprise.
Meaning of Capital Structure

Capital Structure is referred to as the ratio of different kinds of securities raised by a firm as long-term finance.Capital structure decides upon the ratio of various securities in total capitalisation. Equity(or owned funds) and Debt (borrowed funds) are the two main sources of capital funds and hence such a decision virtually implies fixing levels of equity and debt in the plan or design of capital structure. In other words, it is an issue concerned with the determination of debt equiy mix or debt equity ratio. The basic patterns of a capital structure may take anyone of these forms: Only equity shares Equity and preference shares, Equity shares and debentures and Equity shares,preference shares and debentures.
In the case of an ongoing firm ,retained earnings or past accumulated profits also constitute an integeral part of its capital structure,as these are internally generated funds which are long term in nature. The capital structure involves two decisionsa. Type of securities to be issued are equity shares, preference shares and long term borrowings (Debentures). b. Relative ratio of securities can be determined by process of capital gearing. On this basis, the companies are divided into twoi. Highly geared companies - Those companies whose proportion of equity capitalization is small. ii. Low geared companies - Those companies whose equity capital dominates total capitalization.
41
DEFINITIONS OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE: The term capital structure is frequently used to indicate the long term sources of fund employed in a business enterprise. R.H.WESSEL Capital structure includes long term financial sources i.e., debentures, long term debts, preference share capital, reserves, surplus, etc.
I.M.PANDEY
FACTORS DETERMINING CAPITAL STRUCTURE:There are a number of other considerations of varied nature which should also be kept in mind before taking a financial decision. Some of them are being discussed below: 1.Nature of Industry- It is also one the important determinants of capital structure. Some industries, by their very nature suffer from wide income fluctuations and hence cannot afford a high degree of financial leverage in their capital structure. Most of the industry turning out luxury items (such as electrical appliances, T.V. sets, etc.) come in this category. 2. Purpose of finance- An important factor determining the type of capital to be raised is the purpose for which it is required. If funds are needed for some productive purpose directly adding to the profitability of the company, capital may be raised by issuing securities bearing fixed interest charges like preference shares and debentures. On the other hand, retained earning or equity share capital will be the better source of financing if funds are needed for such purposes as betterment, maintenance, etc. which do not directly add to the earnings of the company. 3.Choice of investors- The companys policy generally is to have different categories of investors for securities. Therefore, a capital structure should give enough choice to all kind of investors to invest. Bold and adventurous investors generally go for equity shares and loans and debentures are generally raised keeping into mind conscious investors. 4.Capital market condition- In the lifetime of the company, the market price of the shares has got an important influence. During the depression period, the companys capital structure generally consists of debentures and loans. While in period of boons and inflation, the companys capital should consist of share capital generally equity shares.
42
5.Period of financing- When company wants to raise finance for short period, it goes for loans from banks and other institutions; while for long period it goes for issue of shares and debentures. 6.Cost of financing- In a capital structure, the company has to look to the factor of cost when securities are raised. It is seen that debentures at the time of profit earning of company prove to be a cheaper source of finance as compared to equity shares where equity shareholders demand an extra share in profits. 7.Stability of sales- An established business which has a growing market and high sales turnover, the company is in position to meet fixed commitments. Interest on debentures has to be paid regardless of profit. Therefore, when sales are high, thereby the profits are high and company is in better position to meet such fixed commitments like interest on debentures and dividends on preference shares. If company is having unstable sales, then the company is not in position to meet fixed obligations. So, equity capital proves to be safe in such cases. 8.Sizes of a company- Small size business firms capital structure generally consists of loans from banks and retained profits. While on the other hand, big companies having goodwill, stability and an established profit can easily go for issuance of shares and debentures as well as loans and borrowings from financial institutions. The bigger the size, the wider is total capitalization.
43
OPTIMAL CAPITAL STRUCTURE OR FINANCIAL PLAN

These two terms capital structure and financial plan are used interchangebely. These are indicative of a structure or plan of long term. An optimum capital structure can be defined as a financial plan having an appropriate debt-equity mix which minimises overall cost of capital of the firm amd maximises the market price per share or the total value of the firm.. The optimal capital structure
for a company is one which offers a balance between the ideal debt-to-equity range and minimizes the firm's cost of capital. In theory, debt financing generally offers the lowest cost of capital due to its tax deductibility. However, it is rarely the optimal structure since a company's risk generally increases as debt increases Goal: Maximize Value of Firm Optimal Capital Structure - that mix of debt and equity which maximizes the value of the firm or minimizes the cost of capital Operating leverage is the use of fixed costs rather than variable costs. If most costs are fixed, and therefore do not decline when demand falls, then the firm has high operating leverage. Examples: Nuclear plant, UM-Flint, GM and Ford, Automated Equipment vs. LowTech Equipment General Rule: Higher the operating leverage, the greater the business risk, lower optimal debt
ESSENTIALS OF AN OPTIMAL CAPITAL STRUCTURE;An optimal capital structure should have the following features :1.Simplicity:- capital structure in the beginning should be kept simple.A complicated capital structure will create doubts in the minds of investors regarding the project.Normally whenever a new company is set up,it is financed through equity and preference share capital.Debt is introduced in capital structure at a later date by issuing bonds or debentures. 2.Profitability:- The company should make maximum use of leverage at a minimum cost. Capital structure plays an important role in maximising the profitability of the company.sourcing of capital at minimum cost and timely utilisation of capital reduces any type of losses and maximises profitability. 3.Flexibility:- The capital structure should be flexible to be able to meet the changing conditions. The company should be able to raise funds whenever the need arises and also retire debts whenever it becomes too costly to continue with that particular source. 4.Control:- The capital structure should involve minimum dilution of control of the company.A capital structure should be such that it is least affected by by all type of
44
risks whether natural or financial .There should be enough provisions in a capital structure to take care of atleast business and financial risks. 5.Solvency:- The use of excessive debt threatens the solvency of the company in a high interest rate of environment, Indian companies are beginning to realise the advantage of low debt. Companies are now launching public issues with the sole purpose of reducing debt. 6.Full Utilisation;- optimum utilisation of the available financial resources is an important objective of a balanced financial structure. An ideal financial structure enables the company to make full utilisation of available capital by establishing a proper co-ordination between the quantum of capital and the financial requirements of the business. 7.Liquidity:- liquidity in excess of requirements increases solvency by reducing risk but reduces profitability.Similarly inadequate liquid assets may increase the risk by reducing solvency.Hence investment in liquid assets should br kept at an optimum level. 8.Minimisation of cost:- Each source of funds has its own cost and cost of different sources of funds may show wide variations. Some sources of capital may be cheaper while others could br costlier. Therefore, while desigining a capital structure such a capital mix should be choosen so that the total cost of capital is the minimum.
SOURCES OF FUNDS:
Internal financing:-This includes financing through shares including both equity and preference shares and debentures. Security financing:-This includes financing through depreciation funds and retained earnings. Loan financing:-This includes both short-term and long-term loans.
MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE PLANNING:

There are three major considerations, i.e. risk, cost of capital and control, which help the finance manager in determining the proportion in which he can raise funds from various sources.
RISK:
Risk is of two kinds, i.e. financial risk and business risk. Here we are concerned primarily with the financial risk. Financial risk also is of two types:45
risk of cash insolvency risk of variation in the expected earning to equity shareholder
COST OF CAPITAL:
Cost is an important consideration in capital structure decisions. It is obvious that a business should be at least capable of earning enough revenue to meet its cost of capital and finance its growth. Hence, along with a risk as a factor; the finance manager has to consider the cost aspect carefully while determining the capital structure.
CONTROL:
Along with cost and risk factor , the control aspect is also an important consideration in planning the capital structure. When a company issues further equity shares it automatically dilutes the controlling interest pf the present owners. Similarly, preference shareholders voting right and thereby affect the composition of the board of directors in case dividend on sub share is not paid for two consecutive years.
46
FRAMEWORK OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

THE FRICT ANALYSIS
A financial structure may be evaluated from various perspectives from owners point of view, return; risk and value are important consideration. From the strategic point of view, flexibility is an important concern and flexibility assumes great significance. A sound capital structure will be achieved by balancing all these consideration: FLEXIBILITY:- The capital structure should be determine within the debt capacity of the company and this capacity should be flexible and it should be possible for a company to adapt its capital structure within a minimum cost and delay if warranted by a changed situation. RISK:- It depend on the variability in the firms operation. It may be caused by macro-economic factor and industry and firm specific factor. The excessive use of debt magnifies the variability of shareholders earning and threatens the solvency of the company INCOME:- The capital structure of the company should be most advantageous to the owners of the firm. It should create value, subject to other consideration. It should generate maximum return to the shareholders with minimum additional cost. CONTROL: - The capital structure should involve the minimum risk of loss of control of the company. The owner of closely held companies is particularly concerned about dilution of control TIMING: - The capital structure should be feasible to implement the given current and future condition of the capital market. The sequencing of source of financing is important. The current decision influences the future option oif raising capital.

EBIT-EPS ANALYSIS:
The design of an appropriate capital structure is one of the major decision areas in financial management . A widely used financial technique to design an appropriate capital structure is EBITEBS analysis .As a method of capital structure planning , it essentially involves the comparison of alternative methods of financing under various assumptions of EBIT . the choice of combination sources with the capital structure would be one that , for a given level of EBIT would ensure the largest EPS alternatively , the choice of combination should ensure a maximum market price per share .

ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED
EVA is defined to be operating profit subtracted with capital charges .EVA is thus one variation of residual income with adjustment as to how one calculates income and capital . ALFRED MARSHALL defined the economic profit as total net gains less the interest on invested capital at the current rate . The EVA concept called the economic profit .The name EVAis so popular and well know that often all residual income concept are often called EVA . Put simply ,EVA is net operating profit an appropriate charge for the opportunity cost of all capital invested in an enterprises According to PETER DRUCKER , until a business returns a profit that is greater than its cost of capital , it operates as loss. EVA is the after tax cashflow generated by a business cost of capital. It has deployed to generate cashflow . It is increasingly becoming the main target of the leading companys strategy EVA measures whether the operating profit is enough compared to the total cost of capital employed. It is defined as net operating profit after tax subtracted with a capital cost or cost of capital.
LEVERAGE ANALYSIS:Degree of Financial Leverage

This measures the percentage change in earnings per share over the percentage change in EBIT. This is known as "degree of financial leverage" (DFL). It is the measure of the sensitivity of EPS to changes in EBIT as a result of changes in debt. A shortcut to keep in mind with DFL is that, if interest is 0, then the DFL will be equal to 1. DFL= percentage change in EPS or EBIT/percentage change in EBIT- Interest EVA= (RATE OF RETURN-COST OF CAPITAL)*CAPITAL PARTICULARS Net sales & operating income Total expenditure Operating profit Other income Depreciation EBIT Interest charges PBT Degree of financial leverage 2010-2011 23860 (20705) 3155 347 (687) 2815 (220) 2595 0.73

DETERMINING WETHER HINDALCO IS TRADING ON EQUITY Trading on Equity:A company may raise funds either by issue of shares or by debentures. Trading on equity may be defined as operating with a smaller equity capital and a higher debt capital(a high debt equity ratio)with a view to maximize the rate of return on shareholders fund. In case, the rate of return on the capital employed is more than the rate of interest on debentures. it is said that the company is trading on equity. Limitation: Trading on equity is profitable as long as rate of return on total capital (ROI) is more than the rate of interest payable on debt capital. Rate of return on equity shareholders fund=PAT/Equity shareholders fund =(1699/33972.39)*100=5.00% General rate of return=(PAT+ Interest)/Total capital employed =(1699+436/59671.12)*100=3.50% The general rate of return is only 3.50% while the return on equity shareholders fund is 5%. Thus, we can say that Hindalco is trading on equity.
50
What factors influence how much debt a company uses?

1. Growth rate in sales and income: The higher the growth rate , the most debt that can be utilized 2. Stability of sales: The more stable the sales, the more debt that can be employed. The probability of being unable to service the debt is smaller. 3. Profit margin: A larger profit margin allows for more of a cushion if sales falls. 4. Asset structure: A capital intensive firm relies more upon debt than noncapital intensive firm. The fixed assets are better collateral for debt. 5. Management attitudes: There is a trade off between the risk of debt and loss of control of the firm if equity is sold instead. 6. Lender attitude: Lenders are concerned with risk and may not be willing to lend.

RATIO ANALYSIS
It is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It implies the process of computing, determining and presenting the relationship of items or group of items of financial statements. It also involves the comparison and interpretation of these ratios and use of them for future projections. Alexander Wall is considered to be pioneer of ratio analysis. He presented after a serious thinking a detailed system of ratio analysis in 1909.An accounting ratio is defined as quantitative relationship between two or more items of the financial statements connected with each other.
USEFULNESS OF RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis serves the purpose of various parties interested in financial statement. The object of ratio analysis is to help management in analysing and interpreting the financial statements, to get adequate information useful for the performance of various functions like planning, co-ordination, control, communication and forecasting etc. Trends in costs, sales, profits and other related facts and revealed by the past ratios and future events can be forecasted on the basis of such trends. Ideal Ratios may be constructed and the relationship found between strategic ratios can be used for achieving the desired co-ordination Ratios may be used as an instrument of management control particularly in the areas of sales and costs. It helps in investment decisions to make profitable investment STAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS Arrangement of data; Classification and calculation of ratios; Interpretation of calculated ratios; Projections through ratios.
Ratios to be used for a capital structure analysis :

Earning per share Dividend per share P/e ratio Dividend pay-out ratio Debt equity ratio Interest coverage ratio Return on investment ratio

Interpretation:-- From the above data it is cleared that operating margin ratio is continuously decreasing, so lower the ratio of the Hindalco, the better will be the position of the concern which means a higher margin of profit on sale to meet its fixed obligation like interest and also shows the margin for dividends etc.
53
2. NET MARGIN RATIO:A ratio of profitability calculated as net income divided by revenues or net profits divided by sales. It measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company actually keeps in earnings. Profit margin is very useful when comparing companies in similar industries. A higher profit margin indicates a more profitable company that has better control over its costs compared to its competitors. Net margin ratio=(PAT/ net sales)*100 particulars PAT Net sales NPM 2013 1699 25784 6.59 2012 2237 26597 8.41 2011 2137 23895 8.96 2010 1916 19522 9.81 2009 2230 18220 12.24

Interpretation:- , if a company has costs that have increased at a greater rate than sales, it leads to a lower profit margin. This is an indication that costs need to be under better control. Hindalcos NPM is being lowered from previous year.
54
3. INETREST COVERAGE RATIO:Significance:- A ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on outstanding debt. The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense. An interest coverage ratio below 1 indicates the company is not generating sufficient revenues to satisfy interest expenses. Interest coverage ratio=EBIT/interest

4. EARNING PER SHARE

Earning per share(EPS) shows profitability of the firm on a per share basis, it does not reflect how much is paid as dividend and how much is retained in the business. EPS = profit after tax/No. Of shares Significance EPS help in determining the market price of the equity shares of the company. List of a comparison of EPS of the company with another company will also help in deciding whether the equity share capital is being effectively used or not. It helps in estimating the companys capacity to pay dividend to its equity shareholder.

Interpretation:- The future maintainable profits have not matched the pace with the increase in companys capital employed. Since capital employed comprises of shareholders funds, reserves and surplus and loans, it has been observed that shareholders fund has increased a little and the loans has also increased but resulting in blocking of funds.

Interpretation:- Due to decrease in financial leverage Net Worth of company has increased. Also the future maintainable profit has not increased in the same proportion as the Net Worth of the company thus ROE for the company has gone down.
12.DEBT-EQUITY RATIO:Significance:- Debt to equity ratio is the ratio of total liabilities of the business to its shareholders equity. It is a leverage ratio and its measures the degree to which the assets of the business are financed by the debts and the shareholders equity of a business. A high debt/equity ratio generally means that a company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. This can result in volatile earnings as a result of the additional interest expense. If more debt is used to finance increased operations (high debt to equity), the company could potentially generate more earnings than it would have without this outside financing. Debt equity ratio=debt/equity=total liabilities/shareholders equity Particulars Debt Equity Debt-equity ratio 2013 24144.77 33972.39 0.71 2012 14571.91 32032 0.45 2011 8910 29700 0.30 2010 6419.53 27911 0.23 2009 8315.3 23758 0.35

Interpretation:Lower values of debt-to-equity ratio are favourable indicating less risk. Higher debtto-equity ratio is unfavourable because it means that the business relies more on external lenders thus it is at higher risk, especially at higher interest rates. Hindalco has a debt equity ratio lower than 1 means that more assets are financed by shareholders' that those financed money by debt. An increasing trend in of debt-to-equity ratio is also alarming because it means that the percentage of assets of a business which are financed by the debts is increasing.
13.CURRENT RATIO
This ratio measures the solvency of the company in the shoert term. Current assests are those asssets which can be convereted into cash within a year. Current liabilities and provisions are those liabilities that are payable within a year. A current ratio 2:1 indicates a highly solvent position . A current ratio of 1.33:1 is considered by banks as the minimum acceptable level fotr providing working capital finance.
