qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use. All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the
33
period in which they are incurred. The difference between the face value and the issue
price of Discounted Value Non-Convertible Debentures, being in the nature of interest,
is charged to the profit and loss account, on a compound interest basis determined with
reference to the yield inherent in the discount.
13. Taxation:
Current Tax is measured on the basis of estimated taxable income for the current
accounting period and tax credits computed in accordance with the provisions of the
Income Tax Act, 1961. Deferred Tax resulting from timing differences between book
and taxable profit for the year is accounted for using the tax rates and laws that have
been enacted or substantively enacted as on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax
assets are recognized and carried forward only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty, except for carried forward losses and unabsorbed depreciation which is
recognized based on virtual certainty, that the assets will be realized in future.
Revenue Recognition:
Sales Revenue is recognized on transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership

of the goods to the buyer. Sales are net of Sales Tax, VAT, trade discounts, rebates and
returns but include excise duty.
Income from services is recognized as they are rendered, based on

agreement/arrangement with the concerned parties.
Dividend income on investments is accounted for when the right to receive the payment is
established. Interest income is recognized on accrual basis.
Export Incentives, insurance, railway and other claims, where quantum of accruals cannot be
ascertained with reasonable certainty, are accounted on acceptance basis.
34
15. Mines Restoration Expenditure:
The Company provides for the estimated expenditure required to restore quarries and mines.
The total estimate of restoration expenses is apportioned over the estimate of mineral reserves
and a provision is made based on minerals extracted during the year. The total estimate of
restoration expenses is reviewed periodically, on the basis of technical estimates.
16. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets:
Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation as a result of past events and it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a
reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and adjusted to
reflect the current best estimate. Contingent Liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed and
Contingent Assets are neither recognized nor disclosed, in the financial statements.
17. Employees Share based payments:
The Company follows intrinsic value method for valuation of Employees Stock Options.
The excess of the market price of shares at the time of grant of options, over the
exercise price to be paid by the option holder is considered as employee compensation
expense and is amortized in the Profit and Loss account over the period of vesting,
adjusting for the actual and expected vesting.
18. Earnings Per Share:
The basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing the net profit after tax for the year
attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, net profit after tax for the
year attributable to the equity shareholders and the weighted average number of
35
equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the effects of all dilutive
potential equity shares.
Government Grants and Subsidies:
Government grants and subsidies are recognized when there is reasonable assurance
that the Company will comply with the condition attached thereto and that the grants will
be received.
Capital Government Grants or Subsidies relating to specific fixed assets are deducted
from the gross value of the respective fixed assets and capital grants for projects are
credited to Capital Reserve.
Revenue Government Grants or Subsidies relating to an expense item are recognized

as income over the period to match them on a systematic basis to the costs or deducted
from related expenses.
Segment Reporting Policies:
Primary Segment is identified based on the nature of products and services, the different risks
and returns and the internal business reporting system. Secondary segment is identified based
on geography in which major operating divisions of the Company operate.
21. Research and development expenditure:
Revenue expenditure on research and development is expensed as incurred. Capital

expenditure incurred on research and development is capitalized as fixed assets and
depreciated in accordance with the depreciation policy of the Company.
22. Operating lease:
36
Leases where significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by
the lessor are classified as operating leases and lease rentals thereon are charged to
the Profit and Loss Account
23. Goodwill:
Goodwill arising out of consolidation of financial statements of Subsidiaries and joint

Ventures is not amortized. However the same is tested for impairment at each Balance
Sheet Date.

Ratio Analysis
52
-A general technique for analyzing a businesss performance or its potential

performance is known as Ratio Analysis
-Ratio Analysis involves calculating ratios for a business or proposed business and
comparing them to ratios of other businesses within the same industry.
-An Investor is interested in information regarding the exact financial position of the
business, its earning capacity, the present position with regards to possibility.
-The published accounts contain the P&L A/c, Balance sheet, Directors report, Auditors
report and Chairmans speech.
-The ratio is one number expressed in term of another. Ratio is customarily expressed in
three different ways Simple figures, percentage form and in proportions.
53
Liquidity Ratios
54
Current Ratio
It is the ratio that measures whether a firm has enough resources to pay its debts over
the next 12 months. It compares a firm's current assets to its current liabilities. Ideally it
should be 2:1.
Current Ratio =

Analysis
The current ratio of 1 or above is healthy for the company. It shows the companys strength to
pay back its short term liabilities. The figures of ACC do not give a good indication for 2009 and
2010. It is below 1, which means the company is weak in paying back short term debt.
While in case of UltraTech it is above 1 in all the years and also there is not much of change. It
means that the companys strength to pay back short term liabilities is constant.
Taking recent years into account UltraTech is much stronger than ACC when it comes to
pay back short term liabilities.
55
Quick Ratio (Acid - Test Ratio)
The Acid-test or quick ratio or liquid ratio measures the ability of a company to use its
near cash or quick assets to extinguish or retire its current liabilities immediately. Quick
assets include those current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to cash at
close to their book values. Ideally it should be 0.5.

Analysis
The quick ratio of ACC is highly fluctuating in the recent time which should be a matter of concern
for the company. 2008 had a strong ratio 2009 and 2010 had weaker figures.
UltraTech has good figures in terms of quick ratio. It has been able to maintain its ratio.
The companys dependency on inventory as short term asset is high. The inventory rose
drastically in the three years. The inventory has increased from 821.7 to 1956.
Both the companies saw a decline in 2009 and 2010 but they recovered in 2011. 2009 was a difficult
year for the cement industry. Costs raised and demand was stagnant or rather declining.
56
Leverage Ratios
57
Debt - Equity Ratio
The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E) is a financial ratio indicating the relative proportion of
shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets closely related to
leveraging, the ratio is also known as Risk, Gearing or Leverage.

Analysis
ACC largely depends on shareholders fund. Very small part of the capital is allotted to debt. It is
good in a way as the company will not have to maintain the balance of short term assets.
UltraTech had a very stable ratio in 2008-09 but after that the company has reduced its
dependency on debts and increased the use of equity capital.
Both the companies seem to have been facing similar situations and it can be seen that
both the company have started depending on their own money.
58
Capital Employed to Net worth Ratio
There is another alternative way of expressing the basic relationship between debt and
equity. It helps in knowing, how much funds are being contributed together by lenders
and owners for each rupee of owner's contribution.

Analysis
The amount that ACC pays in terms of interest is very low indicating that the company
has a strong position in paying off long term loans. From 2008 there is massive reduction
in use of loan and company increased the use of its own money.
UltraTech has more long term obligations. It is evident from the figures. Its expansion and
amalgamation have led it to borrow huge amount of money from the market. Though, the
companys condition is stable.
The situations of both the companies are very different. While ACC has miniscule
dependency on loans UltraTech has huge borrowings and thus has a huge liability. ACC
here has a stronger position than UltraTech.

For ACC, while in 2009 20% of the sales were converted to profit, in 2010 it came down
to 14.5%. These figures are moderate.
The figures of UltraTech shows that majority of the sales have failed to convert into profit.
It is evident that there are higher expenses taking place.
ACC holds a stronger position in converting sales into profit. UltraTech maybe facing the
problem as the company is comparatively new than ACC.

Both the companies are going through similar phase. Ratios of both the companies
have decreased.

The declining figure of ACC shows that the company has been inefficient in investing into
fixed Assests which can be turned into sales. They depend very minutely on fixed assets.
UltraTechs expansion and amalgamations has made the ratio unstable.
Both the companies have similar figures which show that they dont depend much on
fixed assets to convert into net sales.
71
Working Capital Turnover Ratio

The ratios of ACC are quite high which is not advisable. Above 43% of the sales made by the
company are on credit which means that the company may face shortage of cash.
Ratios of UltraTech are reducing quite significantly which means the company does not
have much to worry about credit receipts.
ACC here is at a higher risk as the amount of debtors and bills receivables are very high.

Conclusion
95
ACC Ltd, being established in 1936 is one of the oldest cement companies of India while
UltraTech Cement Ltd is a much newer company established in 1983. Today both the
companies are trading at a very close price in the stock markets but after analyzing both the
companies financially there are some major difference between the companies which
should be brought to notice before investing in either of the companies.
ACC Ltd is a very mature company which has been set up since long and at a developed
stage while UltraTech Cement Ltd although being a major manufacturer of cement in India
is looking forward to expand even more and is trying to grow even further.
The major motives behind the companies are different and that is what makes them
different. Those investors which are looking forward to earn dividend right away may opt for
ACC Ltd as it is observed that its dividend payout ratio is very high. ACC Ltd gives the profit
away to the shareholders. On the other hand UltraTech Cement Ltd is acquiring more and
more factories and expanding. This may not let the company payout high dividends but the
value of the share will gradually increase and it could also become even a bigger company
in future which may payout very high dividends.
In a nutshell, ACC Ltd may deliver higher returns right now but UltraTech Cement Ltd
has a scope of even higher returns in the future.
