HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Tehri Dam & Hydro Electric Project had initially been accorded Investment Clearance by
the Planning Commission in June, 1972 for implementation by the Government of U.P., with an
installed generating capacity of 600 MW. The State Government commenced the construction of
the Project in 1978. Subsequently, in 1983, the proposed Installed Capacity of the Project was
increased by the State Government to 1000 MW.
In view of the shortage of funds for implementation of the Project in the State sector, it was
decided in Nov.,1986 to implement the Tehri project as a Joint Venture of the Govt. of India
and Govt. of U.P. through financial and technical assistance from erstwhile USSR.
THDC, a Joint Venture Corporation of the Govt. of India and Govt. of U.P., was incorporated as
a Limited Company under the Companies Act, 1956, in July’88, to develop, operate and
maintain the Tehri Hydro Power Complex and other Hydro Projects. The works were handed
over to THDC in June 1989. The equity portion the Project is being shared by Govt. of India &
Govt. of U.P in the ratio of 75:25. The Corporation has an authorized share capital of Rs.4000 cr.
The Government approved the implementation of Tehri Dam and HPP Stage-I (1000 MW) in
March, 1994, along with the essential works of Pumped Storage Plant and committed works of
Koteshwar HEP. Other components of the Tehri Power Complex, viz., Koteshwar Project, and
the Pumped Storage Plant, were envisaged to be taken up at a later stage.
The Koteshwar HEP (400 MW) was approved for implementation by the Government in
April’2000. Investment approval has been accorded by the Government in July’06 to the Tehri
PSP(1000 MW), the first Pumped Storage Scheme in the Central sector which would utilize the
Tehri & Koteshwar reservoirs as the requisite upstream & downstream reservoirs.
Govt. of India has accorded Investment Approval for execution of 444 MW Vishnugad Pipalkoti
Hydro Electric Project (VPHEP) on River Alaknanda in Aug’ 2008.
Govt. of Uttarakhand has also entrusted Hydro Projects to THDC in Bhagirathi, Alaknanda
and Sarda Valleys in Uttarakhand, totaling to 760 MW.
THEORETICAL ASPECTS
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the systematic use of
ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of a firm as well as
its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. The term ratio
refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two variables.
Ratio analysis is a very powerful analytical tool for measuring performance of an
organization. The ratio analysis concentrates on the inter – relationship among the figures
appearing in the aforementioned four financial statement s. the ratio analysis helps the
management to analyze the past performance of the firm . The ratio analysis allow
interested parties like shareholders, investors, creditors , government and analysts to make an
evaluation of certain aspects of a firm’s performance.
It helps in evaluating the firm’s performance. With the help of ratio analysis conclusion
can be drawn regarding several aspects such as financial health, profitability and
operational efficiency of the undertaking. Ratio points out the operating efficiency of the
firm i.e. whether the management has utilized the firm's assets correctly, to increase the
investor's wealth. It ensures a fair return to its owners and secures optimum utilization of
firm’s assets.
It helps in inter-firm comparison. Ratio analysis helps in inter-firm comparison by
providing necessary data. An inter firm comparison indicates relative position. It provides
the relevant data for the comparison of the performance of different departments. If
comparison shows a variance, the possible reasons of variations may be identified and if
results are negative, the action may be initiated immediately to bring them in line.
It simplifies financial statement. Yet another dimension of usefulness or ratio analysis,
relevant from the View point of management is that it throws light on the degree
efficiency in the various activity ratios measures this kind of operational efficiency.
Limitations
Classification of Ratios
Different ratios are used for different purposes; these ratios can be grouped into various classes
according to the financial activity. Ratios are classified into four broad categories:
Liquidity Ratio
Leverage Ratio
Profitability Ratio
Activity Ratio
Liquidity Ratio:
Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratio are the best indicators of overall efficiency of the business concern, because
they compare return of value over and above the value put into business with sales or service
carried on by the firm with the help of assets employed. Profitability ratio can be determined on
the basis of:
1. Sales
2. Investment
(i) Profitability Ratios Related to Sales:
(ii) Gross Profit to Sales Ratio
(iii) Net Profit to Sales Ratio or Net Profit of Margin.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are interested in firm's ability to meet their claims over a very short period of
time. Their analysis will, there fore confine to the evaluation of the firm's liquidity positions.
Investors
Investors who have invested their money in the firms share are most concerned about the firm
steady growth in earning. As such, they concentrate on the analysis of the firm's present and
future profitability. They are also interested in the firms financial structure of the extent it
influence the firms earning ability and risk.
RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial ratios are useful indicators of a firm's performance and financial situation. Financial
ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm's financials to those of other firms.
Ratio analysis is the calculation and comparison of ratios which are derived from the information
in a company's financial statements. Financial ratios are usually expressed as a percent or as
times per period. Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the
systematic use of ratio to interpret the financial statements so that the strength and weaknesses of
a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined.

Ratio Analysis
Liquidity Ratios:
Liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations. These include:
Current Ratio:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
This ratio indicates the extent to which current liabilities are covered by those assets expected to
be converted to cash in the near future. Current assets normally include cash, marketable
securities, accounts receivables, and inventories. Current liabilities consist of accounts payable,
short-term notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt, accrued taxes, and other accrued

CURRENT RATIO
Interpretation:
The current ratio for the year 2007 & 2008 is 1.55 & 2.09 respectively, compared to standard
ratio of
2:1 this ratio is lower which shows low short term liquidity efficiency at the same time holding
less than sufficient current assets means insufficient use of resources.

WORKING CAPITAL
It is very clear from the above calculations that the working capital of THDC is gradually
increasing over d period of time, which shows good short term liquidity.
Leverage Ratios:
By using a combination of assets, debt, equity, and interest payments, leverage ratio's are used to
understand a company's ability to meet it long term financial obligations. Leverage ratios
measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long term funds. The level of leverage depends
on a lot of factors such as availability of collateral, strength of operating cash flow and tax
treatments. Thus, investors should be careful about comparing financial leverage between
companies from different industries. For example companies in the banking industry naturally
operates with a high leverage as collateral their assets are easily collateralized. These include:

TIE RATIO
Interpretation:
As we can see from this ratio analysis that, tie ratio in 2007 is 1.66 as compared to 1.95 in 2008
which means that the firm can easily meets its interest burden even if EBIT and Tax suffer a
considerable decline.
Debt Ratio:
Debt Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets
The ratio of total debt to total assets, generally called the debt ratio, measures the percentage of
funds provided by the creditors. The proportion of a firm's total assets that are being financed
with borrowed funds. The debt ratio is calculated by dividing total long-term and short-term
liabilities by total assets. The higher the ratio, the more leverage the company is using and the
more risk it is assuming. Assets and liabilities are found on a company's balance sheet.

Total Capitalization Ratio:
Total Capitalization Ratio = Long-term debt / long-term debt + shareholders' equity
The capitalization ratio measures the debt component of a company's capital structure, or
capitalization (i.e., the sum of long-term debt liabilities and shareholders' equity) to support a
company's operations and growth. Long-term debt is divided by the sum of long-term debt and
shareholders' equity. This ratio is considered to be one of the more meaningful of the "debt"
ratios - it delivers the key insight into a company's use of leverage.

Profitability Ratios:
Profitability is the net result of a number of policies and decisions. This section of the discusses
the different measures of corporate profitability and financial performance. These ratios, much
like the operational performance ratios, give users a good understanding of how well the
company utilized its resources in generating profit and shareholder value. The long-term
profitability of a company is vital for both the survivability of the company as well as the benefit
received by shareholders. It is these ratios that can give insight into the all important "profit".
Profitability ratios show the combined effects of liquidity, asset management and debt on
operating results. These ratios examine the profit made by the firm and compare these figures
with the size of the firm, the assets employed by the firm or its level of sales. There are four
important profitability ratios that I am going to analyze:
Net Profit Margin:
Net Profit margin = Net Profit / Sales x 100
Net Profit Margin gives us the net profit that the business is earning per dollar of sales.
This margin indicates the profit after all the costs have been incurred it shows that what % of
turnover is represented by the net profit. An increase in the ratios indicates that a firm is
producing higher net profit of sales than before.

Activity Ratios:
Activity ratio are sometimes are called efficiency ratios. Activity ratios are concerned with how
efficiency the assets of the firm are managed. These ratios express relationship between level of
sales and the investment in various assets inventories, receivables, fixed assets etc.
Total Asset Turnover:
Total Asset Turnover = Total Sales / Total Assets
The amount of sales generated for every dollar's worth of assets. It is calculated by dividing sales
in dollars by assets in dollars. Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets in
generating sales or revenue - the higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy:

Dividend Yield:
Financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its
share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for
a stock. A stock's dividend yield is expressed as an annual percentage and is calculated as the
company's annual cash dividend per share divided by the current price of the stock. The dividend
yield is found in the stock quotes of dividend-paying companies. Investors should note that stock
quotes record the per share dollar amount of a company's latest quarterly declared dividend. This
quarterly dollar amount is annualized and compared to the current stock price to generate the per
annum dividend yield, which represents an expected return.

Trend Analysis:
A firm's present ratio is compared with its past and expected future ratios to determine whether
the company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time. Trend analysis studies
the financial history of a firm for comparison. By looking at the trend of a particular ratio, one
sees whether the ratio is falling, rising, or remaining relatively constant. This helps to detect
problems or observe good management.

SUMMARY
Financial Statement Analysis is a method used by interested parties such as investors, creditors,
and management to evaluate the past, current, and projected conditions and performance of the
firm. This report mainly deals with the insight information of the two mentioned companies. In
the current picture where financial volatility is endemic and financial intuitions are becoming
popular, when it comes to investing, the sound analysis of financial statements is one of the most
important elements in the fundamental analysis process. At the same time, the massive amount of
The liquidity position of the company is not up to the standard, is below the industrial average
in 2007, but it has improved a little in 2008 and is near the industrial average.
There is a considerable rise in the working capital of the company from 2007 to 2008 which
shows good liquidity position of the company.
Leverage ratio indicates the high risk associated with the company. Leverage ratio helps in
helps in assessing the risk arising from the use of debt capital. As we can see that in both the
years debt to equity ratio is slightly below the industrial average.
Profitability ratio is good as the earnings have increased for its share holders from 26% to
almost 30%. The profitability ratio is high because of the low financial charge.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As I have realized that the Tehri Hydro Development Corporation LTD is doing well since its
inception. It is quite difficult to give any suggestion to such a corporation but still no one is
perfect,
There is always a room for improvement so I will recommend the following suggestions for
THDC LTD:
Employee training must be introduced on continuous basis so that the employees have the
understanding of the latest development especially with its customers.
As observed the company has an Internal Audit system wherein external Chartered
Accountant Firms appointed to carry out periodic audits of the different units of the
Corporation. In my opinion, the scope and coverage of internal Audit needs to be
enhanced in order to make it proportionate with the size of the business.
As seen from the physical verification there is a great deal of mismanagement of
resources and it must be avoided, as it decreases the profit.
Company should hire fresh graduates. As the combination of experienced and fresh talent
can produce better results and will improve the efficiency of the management.
