CHAPTER - I
INTRODUCTION:
The new economic policy adapted by the Govt. of India is an attempt to
integrate India's economic order with global economy. With the passage of time
industrial revolution came into existence, which demanded the process of
mechanization data to high technology progress. The prime objective of industrial
revolution is to bring about healthy and cordial relationship between the
management and government.
The strength of the industry depends on its financial resources and the inter
relationship of financial department. Finance department is an asset of an
organization. They became problems if the industry does not manage properly.
Management the term itself refers to the mastering of physical and human
resource to carry on planned objectives and control performance in order to ensure
that what is done, what is expected and so realize the objective of an establishment.
In other words it is a distinct process consists of planning, organizing, actuating
and controlling performance to determine and accomplish objectives by the use of
people and resources. It involves organized activities where a group of people are
involved in working towards a common objective. This process involves decision,
evaluation and selection of alternatives in a complex environment to get things
done by others. The quality of alternatives which a manger selects in each case
determine the organization's performance and the entire future of the organization
rests on the degree to which the right decision are made by the managers.
My present study is confined to IRE Ltd .OSCOM has the pride of being the
location of Orissa. It is the largest leading mining corporation over the country. In
this context, the present study aims at getting practical knowledge regarding
inventory management, Financial Statement and Industrial Relation at OSCOM,
which helped me a lot to acquiring more practical knowledge.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:
The main purpose of the study at IRE Ltd was to have an overall idea about the
organizational function, the various factors that are operating in the organization
and thereby gain on the short training and experience regarding the financial
status carried by function to prepare me as a future manager. The objectives of
the study are:
From among these five "M" s the foremost one is financial management.
Finance department is more valuable than other resources in an organization. I
learned a lot about the balance sheet in theory but without practical in the field, the
theory has no valuable. So in order to experience in the field I studied about the
financial status diagnosis at IRE Ltd which helped me in acquiring more practical
knowledge. The importance of this study is that it helped me in understanding
about inventory management and control in great detail. Also helped me in
acquiring more practical knowledge.
METHODOLOGY:
For any kind of investigation, the methodology aspect has got a special
significance. It involves formulation & application of the research designs in such
a way that the condition of collection & analysis of the data enables us to answer
the specific questions posed under the object of the study. So, in this study a
sincere attempt was under taken to learn how an appraisal for a project report is
done.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
In my research work, I have adopted diagnostic type of research design
because it will help me for description, classification & explanation of the topic &
above all it will help me for the future prediction.

INTRODUCTION:
The Indian Rare Earths Limited (IREL) is a public sector undertaking under the
department of atomic energy of the government of India since 1952 which is
concerned' with the extraction of Rare Earths minerals. It was registered as a
private company on 15' august 1950 with an authorized capital of RS. 1 crore
only.lt is an ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified company.
Indian Rare Earths Ltd (IREL) was incorporated on august 18, 1950 as a private
limited company jointly owned by the Government of India and the Government of
Travancore, Cochin subsequently in year 1963; it became a fully fledged
government of India undertaking under the administrative control of department of
atomic energy.
IREL is a pioneer in the field of mining and processing of beach sand minerals
such as illuminate, Rutile, Zircon, Monazite, Garnet and Sillimanite etc. It is
operating three mining and mineral processing units viz, At Chavara (Kerala),
Manavalakurchi (Tamil Naidu) and Chatrapur (Orissa). It is also operating a
chemical plant, rare earth division at Udyogamandal (Kerala) for processing
monazite and producing rare earths compounds with several diversification plans
in progress, including modernization of existing plant and machinery, the
company is poised for further growth from its current level of sales turnover of
approx.Rs.2900 Million with foreign exchange earnings of approx.Rs.1000
Million.
The management of the company is interested with a group of highly qualified
and experienced directors down from different field's technical marketing finance
R&D and mining aspects of its operations.
Established as Rare Earths Company, beach sand minerals business continued to
be the main stay of IREL and is expected tt, remain so in the current changing
environment of liberalization which has promoted global participation and entry
private entrepreneurs' into the field of beach sand minerals.
GROWTH OF MATERIAL:
The IREL started its commercial operation with commissioning of rare earths
chemical plants (RECP) in 1952 at the industrial belt of udyogmandal near the
harbor city of Cochin in Kerala. It also operates a mineral division (MD) with
headquarter at Qulin and rare earths division with the head quarter and plant at
Always (Both are in Kerala). The mineral division (MD) plants (MSSP) one at
Manabarlakurchi, Tamil Nadu and other at Chaw are, Kerala. A Thorium plant at
Tomboy and the Odisha sand complex (OSCOM) at Matikhalo, Odisha.
UNITS OF IREL:
CHAVARA:

capital of Kerala and 135 km by road from Cochin is perhaps blessed with the
Best mineral sand deposit of the country. The plant operates on a mining area
containing as high as 40% heavy minerals and extending over a length of 23 km in
the belt of Neendakara and Kayamkulam. The deposit is quite rich with respect to
Limonite, Rutile and Zircon and the mineral-illuminate happens to be of weathered
variety analyzing 60% TiO2. The Present-annual production capacity of Chavara
unit engaged in dry as well as wet (dredging/up-graduation) mining and minersl
separation stands at 1,54,000 of Ilmenite, 9500t of Rutile, and 14,000 of Zircon
and 7000t of Sillimanite.
This plant is located in Kollam district of Kerala state. It is located at a
distance of 15 km from Kollam.

LOCATION:
The Chatrapur deposit is situated along the eastern coast in Ganjam district
of Orissa state (toposheet no: 74a/15 and 74e/3). The area is bound on the four
sides by Rushikulya River on the northeast, the coastline of Bay of Bengal on the
south-east, Kandla River (Gopalpur creek) on the north-west. The coordinates of
the area along the coast are as follows:
North-East 19°21' 30" 84° 03' 23"
ACCESSIBILITY:
Railway:
The broad gauge main line of South Eastern Railway connecting Howrah and
Madras passes through Chatrapur railway station at a distance of 9.0 Kilometers
from the plant. The major railway station is Berhampur at a distance of 22.0
kilometers from the plant. Private railway siding linked with Chatrapur railway
station is available up to loading platform inside the mine premises.

weather port.
IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT:
The mining and processing activities in OSCOM mine are completely wet
method and generation of dust during handling and transport is completely
eliminated. The maintenance of haul road and regular sprinkling of water in the
haul road does not arise as the transport of the product is done in slurry form
through the pipelines. The entire mining operation is free from air pollution. More
over all the equipment installed in the mining unit are either electric or hydraulic
power operated and they produce very less noise compared to the conventional
mining equipment which is diesel power operated and are noisy. Hence, chances
of noise pollution in the environment are greatly reduced.

personnel to care for prevention of the environment.
We shall make this policy available to all over employees and interacted party.
LOCATIONAL ADVANTAGES:
The location of the factory has got many advantages like Transport, Electric,
Manpower and water etc. The factory gets its raw material (sand) form the sea.
The factory also gets its power and water supply easily. One more advantages
communication: N.H. Roads 5km away from the factory.
MINERAL PROCESSING:
Dredge and Wet Up gradation Plant (DWEP):
This is the mining plant and comprises of three floating structures, dredge
unit, the surge bin unit and the up gradation unit. The floating units are inter-
connected with one another by flexible hinged joints. All these units float in a
pond, which is artificially created by excavating at a suitable location. As the
dredge advances in a pre-determined dredge path, the dredge pond gradually
moves in the direction of cutting and thereafter occasionally water is added in the
pond to compensate for the losses due to evaporation.
THORIUM PLANT:
This plant processes thorium oxalate, produced, at the Rare Earths
division of IRE, Udyogamandal. The process is based on solvent extraction
techniques to produce thorium nitrate (Mental grade), thorium oxide etc. Sodium
Nitrate solution is by product of this plant.

FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION:-
Accounting is the process of identifying measuring and communicating
economic information to permit informed judgments and decisions by users of the
information. It involves recording, classifying and summarizing various business
transactions. The end product of business transactions are the financial statement
comprising the primarily the position statement or the balance sheet and income
statement or the profit and loss account. These statements are the outcomes of
summarizing process of accounting and are therefore the sources of information on
the basis of which conclusions are drawn about the profitability and the financial
position of the concern.
Balance Sheet
The American Institute of certified Public Accountants defines Balance
sheet as, "A tabular statements of summary of balances (debits and credits) carried
forward after an actual and constructive closing of books of accounts and keep
according to principles of accounting." The purpose of the balance sheet is to
show the resources that the company has, i.e. its assets, and from where those
resources come from, i.e. its liabilities and investments by owners and outsiders.
Earnings)
The term owner equity refers to the claims of the owners of the business
(shareholders) against the assets of the firm. It consists of two elements;
(i) paid-up share capital, i.e. the initial amount of funds invested by the
shareholders: and (ii) retained earning reserves and surplus representing
undistributed profits.
The funds flow statement is designed to analyze the changes in the financial
condition of a business enterprise between two periods. This statement will show
the sources from which the funds are received and the uses to which these have
been put.
➢ Cash Flow Statement
These statements do not give a final picture of the concern. The data given in
these statements is only approximate. The actual position can only be determined
with the business is sold or liquidated. His allocation expenses and incomes will
depend upon the person judgement of the accountant. The existences of contingent
assets and liabilities also make the statements imprecise. So financial statements
do not give the final picture and they are at the most interim reports.
➢ No precision
The precision of financial statement date is not possible became the statements
deal with matters which cannot be precisely stated. The dates are recorded by
conventional procedures followed over the years. Various conventions, postulates,
personal judgements are used for developing the data.
Horizontal Analysis
Horizontal analysis refers to the comparison of financial data of a company
for several years. The figures for this type of analysis are presented horizontally
over a number of columns. These figures of the various years are comparing with
standard or base year. A base year is a year chosen as beginning point. This type
of analysis is called "Dynamic Analysis" as it is based on the data from year to
year rather than on data of any one year.
Vertical Analysis
Vertical analysis is refers to the study of relationship of the various items in
the financial statements of one accounting period. In this types of analysis the
figure from financial statement of a year are compared with a base selected from
the same year's statement. It is also known as "Static Analysis".
Comparative statements
➢ Trend analysis
➢ Common size analysis
➢ Funds flow analysis
➢ Cash flow analysis
➢ Ratio analysis
➢ Cost-volume profit analysis
Comparative Statement
The comparative financial statements are statements of financial position at
different periods of time. From practical point of view, generally, two financial
statements are prepared in comparative form for financial analysis purposes. The
comparative statements may show in:-
➢ Absolute figures
➢ Changes in absolute figures i.e. increase or decrease in absolute figures
➢ Absolute data in terms of percentages
➢ Increase or decrease in terms of percentages
The two comparative statements are:-
➢ Balance sheet
➢ Income statements
"The comprehensive balance sheet analysis is the study of the trend of the same
items, group of items and computed items in two or more balance sheets of the
same business enterprise on different slates. The changes in periodic balance
sheet items reflect the conduct of a business. The changes can be observed by
comparison of balance sheet at the beginning and at the end of a period and these
changes can help in forming an opening about the progress of an enterprise.
While interpreting comparative balance sheet the interpreter is expected to study
the following aspects:
➢ Current financial position and liquidity position of the business
➢ Long-term financial position of the business
➢ Increase or decrease in terms of percentages
The two comparative statements are
➢ Balance sheet &
➢ Income statements
LIQUIDITY RATIOS:
➢ CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current asset and
current liabilities. The ratio is otherwise known as working capital ratio is measure
of general liquidity and is not widely used to make the analysis of short -term
financial position of liquidity of a firm.
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS
CURRENT LIABILITIES
A relatively high current ratio is an indicator that the firm is liquid and has
the ability to play its current obligation in times as and when they became due. A
ratio equal or nearer to the rate of thumb 2:1, is considered to be satisfactory.
Current asset: Current liabilities:
Liquid assets:
Liquid assets=
advances
Cash in hand
Cash in bank
Bills receivable
Sundry debtors
Marketable securities
Temporary investment
EFFICIENCY RATIO:
Efficiency ratio measures the efficiency or effectiveness with which a firm
manages its resources the ratios are also called turnover ratio because they indicate
the speed with which asset are converted into sales. The efficiency ratio is of three
types such as:
1. Inventory turnover ratio
2. Debtor’s turnover ratio
3. Creditors turnover ratio
4. Working capital turnover ratio
The inventory turnover ratio may be calculated without cost of goods sold it can
be calculated by taking the net sales into consideration
Inventory turnover ratio= net sales/ inventory
PROFITABILITY RATIO:
The main aim of the business undertaking is to earn profit. Profit earning is
considered essential for survival of the business. A business needs profit not only
for its existence but also expansion and diversification. Profitability ratios are
calculated to test the efficiency of management and control. The various types of
profitability ratios are
Gross profit = sales - cost of goods sold
It includes:
1. Gross profit ratio
2. Net profit ratio
3. Expenses ratio
4. Cost of goods sold ratio
4. EXPENSES RATIO:
There are many expense ratios such as factory expenses to sales,
administrative expenses to sales, sales expenses to sales or any other individual
expenses to sales. The expense ratio indicates portion of net sales which is
consumed by the various operating expenses, the lower the ratio greater the
profitability. The higher the ratio, the lower is the profitability.
The expenses ratio is given below:
PROPRIETARY RATIO:
This ratio establishes the relationship between shareholders fund to total assets
of the firm. It is an important ratio for determining the solvency of the firm. The
components of this ratio are shareholders fund or proprietors fund and total assets.
The shareholders fund is equity share capital, preference share capital,
undistributed profits, reserves and surplus. Out of this amount accumulated losses
should be deducted. The total asset on the other hand denotes total resource of the
concern. The ratio can be calculated as
Proprietary ratio= Shareholders fund/Total assets*100
Solvency ratio:
This ratio is a small variant of equity ratio can be simply calculated. This ratio
indicates the relationship between the total liabilities to the outsiders to total assets
of the firm can be calculated as follows:

Conclusion:
A study is composed of aims, objectives, reading, observing, analyzing, findings
and conclusions. A conclusion is highly essential for any study as it encloses the
entire study in a single nutshell. It is that vitamin capsule which includes all the
aspect of the study process. When it turns to have a working experienced in an
organization and putting them in a boundary i.e the project work it is very much
essential to know the exact working culture of that organization. To do so ground
level understanding, dedication, sincerity, regularity are highly essential.
After going through the balance sheets from 2017-18 annual reports
from 2017-18 and various activities of the organization i.e IRE LTD, Chatrapur,
Matikhalo, I found many positive ideas of the organization. As the organization is
running with a handsome profit for last few years, hence it is a quite difficult task
to suggest any other things those are practiced by the organization. But there are
few areas which need consideration for the betterment of the organization. These
changes or applications may increase the profitability and efficiency of the
organization.
IREL Ltd is a public sector undertaking under the ministry of defense
of India. Profit maximization is not its prime motive hence recommendation from
the effective management of working capital at IREL is given below because its
financial conditions having some limitations:
• IREL should set standard planning for stock, debtor, and creditor. In the
ever-changing environment and political scenario the quality standards must be of
a global one.
• Install an understanding amongst the staff about the working capital
management produces profit.
• Inventory management is a great concern for IREL especially stores and
spares. The purchase manager should take certain steps for proper procurement of
inventories.
• Vision of the organization is adaptation of new business policy
• Explanation of plant capacity
• To do R&D and get new technology
I have done analysis of financial statement at IREL which helped me to
understand the financial position of this organization in practical sense.
This confidentiality nature of IREL through limited my scope of study; the
available data has given me understanding of the financial statement and analysis
of financial condition of IREL.
✓ Ratio analysis shows that the plant is lacking in using the current asset at the
most optimum level. Every year it is observed that there is a deviation from the
✓ The administration may take a little bit more risk to utilize the cash to make
the best use of it to achieve the optimum profit which includes utilizing cash to
increase the production capacity, extending the plant capacity and strength.
✓ It is observed that the stock level maintained in the plant is much higher than
the requirement in the last five consecutive years. Hence the authorities should take
some serious step to either minimize the stock level or raw materials by reducing
the inputs for the soul of main product i.e the Thorium or utilize the inventory to
maximum level to get more profit and special care must be taken to avoid handling
✓ From 2017-18 the net profit is increasing continuously and the percentage
vendors. Most important he will have to stay on his toes to live up to his role as
with people both in and out of his company. New concept of organization may
evolve with time, and with new experience but the function of purchasing is so
basic that whether computerized or staffed by new specialist with titles still
unknown the job will remain the same. Day-to-day operations and techniques may
change but the goal will be with us. Thus, the purchasing may do a great deal of
job and the man who controls them can only win for the future in Rudyard
Kipling’s words.
