PREFACE
The summer project acts as an integral part of the curriculum in BBA (Bachelor of Business
Administration) by BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NOIDA.
As students, we are only provided with theoretical knowledge, so there is a need for practical
implementation of that theoretical knowledge. Therefore this summer training in an organization
provides us the practical knowledge and applications about the working of an organization,
which helped me to understand the corporate environment.
As a part of the BBA curriculum, this training will lead to development of our:

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Finance is one of the most primary requisite of a business and the modern management
obviously depends largely on the efficient management of the finance.
Financial statements are prepared primarily for decision making. They play a dominant role in
setting the frame work of managerial decisions. The finance manager has to adhere to the five
Rs with regard to many. This right quantity of money for liquidity consideration of right quality
whether owned or borrowed funds at the right time to preserve solvency from the right sources
and at the right cost of capital.
The term financial analysis and is also know as analysis and interpretation of financial statements
refer to process of determining financial strength and weakness of the firm by establishing
strategic relationship between the items oh the balance sheet, profit and loss account and other
operative data. the purpose of financial analysis is to diagnose the information contained in
financial statements so as to judge the profitability and financial soundness of the firm.
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal, and monitoring
of waste materials. Concern over environment is being seen a massive increase in recycling
globally which has grown to be an important part of modern civilization. The consumption habit
so f modern consumerist lifestyles are causing a huge global waste problem. Industrialization
and economic growth has produced more amounts of waste, including hazardous and toxic
wastes. There is a growing realization of the negative impacts that wastes have had on the local
environment (air, water, land, human health etc.)
Waste management is the collection of all thrown away materials in order to recycle them and as
a result decrease their effects on our health, our surroundings and the environment and enhance
the quality of life. Waste management practices differ for developed and developing nations, for
urban and rural areas, and for residential and industrial producers. Waste Management flows in a
cycle: monitoring, collection, transportation, processing, disposal or recycle. Through these steps
a company can effectively and responsibly manage waste output and their positive effect they
have on the environment.
Waste generation per capita has increased and is expected to continue to climb with growing
population, wealth, and consumerism throughout the world. Approaches to solving this waste
problem in a scalable and sustainable manner would lead us to a model that uses waste as an
input in the production of commodities and value monetized, making waste management a true
profit center. The conversion of waste as a potential source of energy has a value as a
supplemental feedstock for the rapidly developing bio-fuels sector. A variety of new technologies
are being used and developed for the production of bio fuels which are capable of converting
wastes into heat, power, fuels or chemical feedstock.
Thermal Technologies like gasification, pyrolysis, thermal depolymerization, plasma arc
gasification, and nonthermal technologies like anaerobic digestion, fermentation etc are a
number of new and emerging technologies that are able to produce energy from waste and other
fuels without direct combustion.Biodegradable wastes are processed by composting, vermicomposting, anaerobic digestion or any other appropriate biological processing for the
stabilization of wastes. Recycling of materials like plastics, paper and metals should be done for
future use.
There is a clear need for the current approach of waste disposal in India that is focussed on
municipalities and uses high energy/high technology, to move more towards waste processing
and waste recycling (that involves public-private partnerships, aiming for eventual waste
minimization - driven at the community level, and using low energy/low technology resources.

Purpose
The Financial Analysis Project is designed to provide guidance and experience in the financial
analysis of a company. Each student is assigned a company for this project, and this company
isthe basis for all reports. The project consists of ten progress reports, and then a final,
comprehensive report. The final report is a compilation of the ten progress reports, with
additional information. Students are encouraged to improve the content from the progressreports
after receiving instructor feedback, so that the comprehensive report reflects edits and revisions
that improve upon the previously submitted reports.

Liquidity
Degree of financial leverage or debt
Profitability
Efficiency
Value
A. Analyzing Liquidity
Liquid assets are those that can be converted into cash quickly. The short-term liquidity
ratios show the firms ability to meet its short-term obligations. Thus a higher ratio (#1
and #2) would indicate a greater liquidity and lower risk for short-term lenders.
The Rules of Thumb for acceptable values are: Current Ratio (2:1), Quick Ratio (1:1).
While high liquidity means that the company will not default on its short-term
obligations, one should keep in mind that by retaining assets as cash, valuable investment
opportunities may be lost. Obviously, cash by itself does not generate any return. Only if
it is invested will we get future return.
1. Current Ratio = Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities
2. Quick Ratio = (Total Current Assets - Inventories) / Total Current Liabilities
In the quick ratio, we subtract inventories from total current assets, since they are the
least liquid among the current assets.
B. Analyzing Debt
Debt ratios show the extent to which a firm is relying on debt to finance its investments
and operations, and how well it can manage the debt obligation, i.e. repayment of
17
principal and periodic interest. If the company is unable to pay its debt, it will be forced
into bankruptcy. On the positive side, use of debt is beneficial as it provides tax benefits
to the firm, and allows it to exploit business opportunities and grow.
Note that total debt includes short-term debt (bank advances + the current portion of
long-term debt) and long-term debt (bonds, leases, notes payable).
1. Leverage Ratios
1a. Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity
This shows the firms degree of leverage, or its reliance on external debt for financing.
1b. Debt to Assets Ratio = Total Debt / Total assets
Some analysts prefer to use this ratio, which also shows the companys reliance on
external sources for financing its assets.
In general, with either of the above ratios, the lower the ratio, the more conservative (and
probably safer) the company is. However, if a company is not using debt, it may be
foregoing investment and growth opportunities. This is a question that can be answered
only by further company and industry research.
A frequently cited rule of thumb for manufacturing and other non-financial industries is
that companies not finance more than 50% of their capital through external debt.
2. Interest Coverage (or Times Interest Earned) Ratio = Earnings Before Interest and
Taxes / Annual Interest Expense
This shows the firms ability to cover fixed interest charges (on both short-term and longterm debt) with current earnings. The margin of safety that is acceptable varies within
and across industries, and also depends on the earnings history of a firm (especially the
consistency of earnings from period to period and year to year).
3. Cash Flow Coverage = Net Cash Flow / Annual Interest Expense
Net cash flow = Net Income +/- non-cash items (e.g. -equity income + minority interest
in earnings of subsidiary + deferred income taxes + depreciation + depletion +
amortization expenses)
Since depreciation is usually the largest non-cash item in most companies, analysts often
approximate Net cash flow as being equivalent to Net Income + Depreciation.
Cash flow is a critical variable in assessing a company. If a company is showing strong
profits but has poor cash flow, you should investigate further before passing a favorable
opinion on the company. Analysts prefer ratio #3 to ratio #2.
18
C. Analyzing Profitability
Profitability is a relative term. It is hard to say what percentage of profits represents a
profitable firm, as profits depend on such factors as the position of the company and its
products on the competitive life cycle (for example profits will be lower in the initial
years when investment is high), on competitive conditions in the industry, and on
borrowing costs.
For decision-making, we are concerned only with the present value of expected future
profits. Past or current profits are important only as they help us to identify likely future
profits, by identifying historical and forecasted trends of profits and sales.
We want to know whether profits are generally on the rise; whether sales stable or rising;
how the profits compare to the industry average; whether the market share of the
company is rising, stable or falling; and other things that indicate the likely future
profitability of the firm.
1. Net Profit Margin = Profit after taxes / Sales
2. Return on Assets (ROA) = Profit after taxes / Total Assets
3. Return on Equity (ROE) = Profit after taxes / Shareholders Equity (book value)
4. Earnings per Common share (EPS) = (Profits after taxes - Preferred Dividend) / (# of
common shares outstanding)
5. Payout Ratio = Cash Dividends / Net Income
Note: The terms profits, earnings and net income are often used interchangeably in
financial statements. Be sure to review the statements to understand their components.
D. Analyzing Efficiency
These ratios reflect how well the firms assets are being managed.
The inventory ratios shows how fast the inventory is being produced and sold.
1. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
This ratio shows how quickly the inventory is being turned over (or sold) to generate
sales. A higher ratio implies the firm is more efficient in managing inventories by
minimizing the investment in inventories. Thus a ratio of 12 would mean that the
inventory turns over 12 times, or the average inventory is sold in a month.
2. Total Assets Turnover = Sales / Average Total Assets
This ratio shows how much sales the firm is generating for every dollar of investment in
assets. The higher the ratio, the better the firm is performing.
4. Accounts Receivable Turnover = Annual Credit Sales / Average Receivables
4. Average Collection period = Average Accounts Receivable / (Total Sales / 365)
Ratios #3 and #4 show the firms efficiency in collecting cash from its credit sales. While
a low ratio is good, it could also mean that the firm is being very strict in its credit policy,
which may not attract customers.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
1.
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the financial performance of IEISL
and compare it with other waste management companies of India on financial
parameters.
2.
The objectives of the study have a wider scope. Although, the industry is comparatively
new, the past performance can be treated as the true indicator of the future trend. Analysis
of data of IEISL for the last three years will help to a great extent to understand the
performance pattern of the company and on the basis of which the future program's of the
company can be planned. It also looks into the financial performance of other waste
management companies in India which also adds on to the wider scope of the study.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
21
Most of the data present in this report has been collected through Annual Reports and other
published documents of the company, other facts and figures, especially regarding IEISL
section. Company performance is prepared through discussions with the officials of the
company.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The main limitation of the study is the fact that it is not possible to collect all information
as Analysis of financial performance, requires information regarding all financial
information of the company as well as the qualitative aspect also.
Some of the records and information are treated as confidential, thus depriving some
significant and relevant data concerned with the study.
