Mumbai, Sep (EPC News): Prism Cement Ltd has commenced commercial production ofthe 3.6 million tonnes cement project - Unit II at Satna, Madhya Pradesh with effect fromSeptember 23, 2010, a statement from the company said. The total outlay of the projecthas been funded through a mix of internal accruals and debt.
The expansion will enhance the companys cement and clinker dispatch capacity to 6.6million tonnes from the present 3 million tonnes from its existing Unit I.
The project has been completed in a short span of 19 months from the commencement ofcivil construction.
EPC News Bureau
MUMBAI: Few would have heard of Raheja QBE General Insurance, the companythats been around for a year. Thats because it is the only insurer that has chosen to
adopt a unique business model where it will restrict itself to manufacturing and will nothave a distribution set-up. The company only sells to brokers who approach it and hashighly specialised liability covers as focus area.
Raheja QBE is a joint venture between Prism Cement and QBE Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QBE Insurance Group, Australia. As a general insurer, our focus ison manufacturing and we have decided to leave distribution to the intermediaries, saidPraveen Gupta, MD & CEO of Raheja QBE General Insurance.
The company is also different from its peers in the sense that it is at present not chasingautomobile and health insurance. A unique aspect of the company is that it employs
actuaries for pricing of products. In India, although non-life companies have an actuary,their involvement in product pricing is far lower than in the life insurance business.
OBEs focus is on underwriting and while it may not be the biggest, it is the mostprofitable insurer in the world, said Mr Gupta. By maintaining a disciplined approachto underwriting, we expect to become one of the catalysts for change in the Indianmarket, he added.
Buy Prism Cement with a target of Rs 72-75, says Amit Harchekar, India Infoline.
Harchekar told to CNBC TV18, Prism Cement has given a good breakout from a flatformation and what we believe is the stock is likely to head towards Rs 75-78 in the nearterm. On the medium term chart the stock has been consolidating well above Rs 64 forquite some time, so since there is a breakout with good volumes we might see a goodrally in this counter. So even at these levels, we would advocate buy in this stock with astop of Rs 60 and target comes in the range of Rs 72-75.

Types of Ratio
1. Liquidity Ratio
i). Current RatioThe ratio is worked out by dividing the current assets of the concern by its currentliabilities. Current ratios indicate the relation between current assets and currentliabilities. Current liabilities represent the immediate financial obligations of thecompany. Current assets are the sources of repayment of current liabilities. Therefore, theratio measures the capacity of the company to meet financial obligation as and when theyarise. Textbooks claim a ratio of 1.5 to 2 is ideal; bit in practice this is rarely achieved.This ratio is also known as working capital ratio.ii). Acid Test RatioQuick assets represent current assets excluding stock and prepaid expenses.
Stock is excluded because it is not immediately realizable in cash. Prepai expenses areexcluded because they cannot be realized in cash. A minimum of 1: 1 is expected whichindicates that the concern can fully meet its financial obligations. This also called asLiquid ratio or Quick ratio.
2. Activity Ratios
i). Debtors Turnover RatioThe ratio obtained should be compared with that of other similar units. If the ratio of thecompany being studied is greater (say, 10 weeks as against 6 weeks for the industry), itindicates that the company is allowing longer than the usual credit periods. This may be
justified in the case of new companies or existing companies entering into new venturesii). Creditors Turnover RatioThis ratio shows how frequently company is paying to its creditor. Usually, higher theratio- betters the performance of company.
iii). Inventory Turnover RatioThe ratio is usually expressed as number of times the stock has turned over. Inventorymanagement forms the crucial part of working capital management. As a major portion ofthe bank advance is for the holding of inventory, a study of the adequacy of abundance ofthe stocks held by the company in relation to its production needs requires to be madecarefully by the bank.
iv). Fixed Assets Turnover RatioThe ratio shows the efficiency of the concern in using its fixed assets. Higher ratiosindicate higher efficiency because every rupee invested in fixed assets generates highersales. A lower ratio may indicate inefficiency of assets. It may also be indicative of underutilizations or non-utilization of certain assets. Thus with the help of this ratio, it ispossible to identify such underlined or unutilized assets and arrange for their disposal.

3. Leverage Ratio
i). Debt-Equity Ratio
Also known as external - Internal equity ratio is calculated to measure the relative claimsof outsiders against the firms assets. This ratio indicates the relationship between theexternal equities or the equities or the outsiders funds and the internal equities or theshareholders funds.
ii). Interest Coverage RatioHigher the ratio better is the coverage. The firm may not fail on its commitments to payinterest even if profits fall substantially.
4. Profitability Ratios
i). Gross Profit RatioA comparison with the standard ratio for the industry will reveal a picture of theprofitability of the concern. Also the ratio may be worked out for a few years andcompared to verify if a steady ratio is maintained.
ii). Net Profit RatioThis ratio serves a similar purpose as, and is used in conjunction with, the gross profitratio.
iii). Return on AssetsThis ratio measures the profits of the concern as a percentage of the total assets. For thepurpose of this ratio, the operating profit is calculated by adding back to net profit: (1)Interest paid on the long term borrowings and debentures; (2) Abnormal and non-recurring losses; (3) Intangible assets written off. Similarly, from the net profit abnormaland non-recurring gains are deducted. The idea is to get profit generated out of totalinvestments made.
iv). Earning PowerEarning power is a measure of business performance which is not affected by interestcharges and tax burden. It abstracts away the effect of capital structure and tax factor andfocuses on operating performance. Hence it is eminently suited for inter-firm comparison.Further, it is internally consistent. The numerator represents a measure of pre-taxearnings belonging to all sources of finance and the denominator represents totalfinancing.

16/32
v). Return on Capital EmployedROCE is the post-tax version of earning power. It considers the effect of taxation, but notthe capital structure. It is internally consistent. Its merit is that it is defined in such a waythat it can be compared directly with the post-tax weighted average cost of capital of thefirm.
vi). Return on EquityThe return on equity measures the profitability of equity funds invested in the firm. It isregarded as a very important measure because it reflects the productivity of theownership capital employed in the firm.
5. Valuation Ratios
Valuation ratios indicate how the equity stock of the company is assessed in the capitalmarket. Since the market value of equity reflects the combined influence of risk andreturn, valuation ratios are the most comprehensive measures of a firms performance.
i). Price Earnings RatioThe PE Ratio is a summary measure which primarily reflects the following factors:growth, prospects, risk-characteristics, shareholder orientation, corporate image, anddegree of liquidity.
ii). EV-EBIDTA RatioEV is the sum of the market value of equity and the market value of debt. The marketvalue of equity is simply the number of outstanding equity shares times the price pershare. As far as debt is concerned, if it is in the form of loans, its market value has to beimputed. Generally, a rupee of loan is deemed to have a rupee of market value.EV-EBIDTA is supposed to reflect profitability, growth, risk, liquidity and corporateimage.

Operating margin
Operating margin is a measurement of what proportion of a company's revenue is leftover after paying for variable costs of production such as wages, raw materials, etc. Ahealthy operating margin is required for a company to be able to pay for its fixed costs,such as interest on debt.
Also known as "operating profit margin" or "net profit margin".
Gross Profit Margin
Indicates what the company's pricing policy is and what the true mark-up margins are.
Gross Profit Margin Analysis:
The gross margin is not an exact estimate of the company's pricing strategy but it doesgive a good indication of financial health. Without an adequate gross margin, a companywill be unable to pay its operating and other expenses and build for the future. Cory'sTequila Co. has a gross margin of 65% therefore their mark-up is over 100% of the cost.In general, a company's gross profit margin should be stable. It should not fluctuate muchfrom one period to another, unless the industry it is in has been undergoing drasticchanges which will affect the costs of goods sold or pricing policies.
The profit margin is mostly used for internal comparison. It is difficult to accuratelycompare the net profit ratio for different entities. Individual businesses' operating andfinancing arrangements vary so much that different entities are bound to have differentlevels of expenditure, so that comparison of one with another can have little meaning. Alow profit margin indicates a low margin of safety: higher risk that a decline in sales willerase profits and result in a net loss.

v). Return on Capital Employed
ROCE is the post-tax version of earning power. It considers the effect of taxation, but notthe capital structure. It is internally consistent. Its merit is that it is defined in such a waythat it can be compared directly with the post-tax weighted average cost of capital of thefirm.
vi). Return on Equity
The return on equity measures the profitability of equity funds invested in the firm. It isregarded as a very important measure because it reflects the productivity of theownership capital employed in the firm.

a cost leader by means of setting up captive power plants, and/or up-gradation of
technology to enhance productivity, is increasingly becoming critical for large cement
players in this sector.

exports will constitute a major sales driver. Hence, the coming years would see
companies scrambling for bases on the Western coast to minimize their export
transportation costs.
Retail Stores: A unique concept, which Ultra Tech is experimenting with in recent
times, and one that is important for the future, is to continue setting up retail stores.
