INTRODUCTION ABOUT
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY:-
2.1 History:-
Chemical industries can be traced back to Middle Eastern artisans, who refined alkali and limestone
for the production of glass as early as 7,000 BC, to the Phoenicians who produced soap in the 6th
cent. BC, and to the Chinese who developed black powder, a primitive explosive around the 10th
cent.
The chemical industry provides valuable inputs for other industries such as textiles, paper, paints and
varnishes, leather etc, which are required in almost all walks of life. The Indian chemical industry has
small, medium as well as large-scale units. The fiscal concessions granted to the small-scale sector in
mid-eighties led to establishment of a large number of units in the Small scale industries (SSI) sector.
India enjoys an abundant supply of basic raw materials, however lags behind in terms of technical
and marketing capabilities.
The most important sectors of India’s Chemical industry are alkali chemicals, Inorganic chemicals
Organic chemicals, Pesticides and dyes & Dyestuffs, with their respective production quantity in
same order.
In 1997 the U.S. chemical industry produced about $389 billion worth of products and employed
1,032,000 workers. It exported about $71 billion worth of chemicals.
Synthetic fibres changed the textile industry when rayon (made from wood fibres’ was introduced in
1914; the introduction of synthetic fertilizers by the American Cyanamid Company in 1909 led to a
green revolution in agriculture that dramatically improved crop yields.
Sodium phosphates have many applications in food and for water treatment. For example, sodium
phosphates are often used as emulsifiers (such as in processed cheese), thickening agents,
and leavening agents for baked goods. They are also used to control pH of processed foods. They are
also used in medicine for constipation and to prepare the bowel for medical procedures. Moreover,
they are used in detergents for softening water, and as an efficient anti rust solution.
Chemical industry is one of the oldest industries in India, which contributes significantly towards
industrial and economic growth of the nation. Since this industry has numerous forward and
backward linkages, it is called the “BACKBONE” of the industrial and agricultural development of
the country and provides building blocks for many downstream industries.
There are a lot of companies or suppliers who produce and supply sodium phosphate,ammnioum phosphate,
potassium phosphate, Pyro phosphate TPP chemicals, those companies are as follows:-

LITERATURE REVIEW:-
Dr. M. Ravichandran (Dr. M. Ravichandran, 2016) the financial performance can be measured by
using various financial tools such as profitability ratio, solvency ratio, comparative statement, etc.
Based on the analysis, findings have been arrived that the company has got enough funds to meet its
debts & liabilities, the income statement of the company shows sales of the company increased
every year at good rate and profit also increased every year.
Ms. M. Ganga ([Link], 2015) on the evaluation of financial performance of Equitas Micro
Finance Private Limited in Chennai. According to them Financial analysis is important to plan and
control the firm’s financial resources. They adopted various research techniques to find the
evaluation of financial performance of the organization. They found that the managers must
concentrate on gray area which would be useful for future growth of the company.
Management Accounting, RachchhMinaxi, (Minaxi, 2011) mentioned that the financial statement
analysis involves analyses of financial statements to dig out information which is useful to take
decisions. It is the process of appraise the relationship between different variables of the financial
statements to get healthier understanding of firm’s performance.
(Uyar, 2009) Corporate liquidity can be examined along two basic dimensions: static and dynamic
Static analysis is focused on traditional ratios (current and quick ratios) based on the data from the
balance sheet. These ratios assess to what extent current liabilities are covered by current assets.
Dynamic analysis is based on cash outflows and inflows and uses cash conversion cycle (CCC) to
measure effectiveness of a company’s ability to generate cash. It comprises both balance sheet and
income statement data to create a measure with a time dimension (cash flow within the operating
cycle of the firm).
Reilly and Brown (2005) stated that financial statement analysis seeks to evaluate managerial
performance in several important areas including profitability, efficiency and risk. The ultimate goal
of that analysis is to provide insights that will help us project future managerial performance. They
also suggest that financial ratios should be examined relating to the economy, the firm’s industry,
firm’s main competitors and the firm’s past relative ratios. The issue of trade-off between liquidity
and profitability has been discussed intensively since this it is crucially important for companies.
Ross (2000) and Myers (2003) mention that excess liquidity is an expense for the company. Money
tied up in current assets can be alternatively deposited or invested and generate interest income.
Thus, the price of working capital over financing is the interest rate. In the case of liquidity deficit
the company must either attract short term loan or sell some liquid assets, which is also an expense.
Only the optimal level of liquidity benefits profitability.
In SR Chemicals we can analyze financial performance with help of Balance sheet and profit & loss
account and it is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weaknesses of the firm by
properly establishing the relationship between the items of balance sheet and profit and loss account.
It also helps in short-term and long term forecasting and growth can be identified with the help of
financial performance analysis. The analysis of financial statement is a process of evaluating the
relationship between the component parts of financial statement to obtain a better understanding of
the SR Chemicals position and performance.
This analysis can be undertaken by management of the SR Chemicals or by parties outside the
namely, owners, creditors, investors.
Financial performance analysis helps to know or to calculate the overall performance of the company
or firm.
It helps the firm or company to know there capability and consistency of how to maintain to the
sources of funds and etc.
SR Chemicals can assess their profitability and earning capacity of their firm with help of financial

It helps the firm to know about their operational efficiency and managerial effectiveness.
It helps to know short term as well long term solvency of the firm.
It helps to identify the reasons for changes in the profitability and financial position of the firm.

Financial statement is essential tools used to analyze a company’s performance. Management utilizes several
techniques to determine a company’s financial condition and make decisions regarding improvements.
Working Capital refers to that part of the firm’s capital, which is required for financing short- term or
current assets such a cash marketable securities, debtors and inventories. Funds thus, invested in
current assets keep revolving fast and are constantly converted into cash and this cash flow out again
in exchange for other current assets. Working Capital is also known as revolving or circulating capital
or short-term capital.
According to M Y KHAN & P K JAIN “Working capital refers to manage the firm current assets
and current liabilities in such a way that a satisfactory level of working capital is maintained.”
According to SHUBIN “Working capital is an amount of firm is necessary to cover the cost of
operating the enterprise.”
Temporary investment
Prepaid expenses
Accrued incomes
Working capital management is concerned with the Nature of Working Capital problems that arise in
attempting to manage the current assets, the Current assets, current liabilities and the interrelations that
exist between them.
Current assets refer to those assets which in the ordinary course of business can be, or will be,
converted into cash within one year without undergoing a diminution in value and without disrupting
the operations of the firm. Examples- cash, marketable Current liabilities are those securities, accounts
receivable and inventory.
Current liabilities which are intended, at their inception, to be paid in the ordinary course of business,
within a year, out of the current assets or the earnings of the concern. Examples- accounts payable,
bills payable, bank overdraft and outstanding expenses.
Working capital may be regarded as the lifeblood of the business. Without insufficient working
capital, any business organization cannot run smoothly or successfully. In the business the Working
capital is comparable to the blood of the human body. Generally, working capital refers to a company.
Ratio analysis is a quantitative method of gaining insight into a company’s liquidity, operational
efficiency, and profitability by comparing information contained in its financial statements. Ratio
analysis is a cornerstone of fundamental analysis.
The relation between two related items of financial statements is known as ratio.
Trend analysis is the widespread practice of collecting information and attempting to spot a pattern. In
some fields of study, the term “Trend Analysis” has more formally defined meaning. It helps to analysis
future predication on the basis of consecutive past years data.
