PROFILE OF DEVELOPMENT BANKING
The economic development of any country depends on the extent to which its financial
system efficiently and effectively mobilizes and allocates resources. There are a number

of banks and financial institutions that perform this function; one of them is the
development bank Development banks are unique financial institutions that perform the
special task of fostering the development of a nation, generally not undertaken by other
banks.
Development Banks are financial agencies that provide medium and long-term financial
assistance and act as catalytic agents in promoting balanced development of the country.
They are engaged in promotion and development of industry, agriculture, and other key
sectors. They also provide development services that can aid in the accelerated growth of
an economy.
The objectives of development banks are as follows:
1) To serve as an agent of development in various sectors, such as industry, agriculture,
and institutional trade.
2) To accelerate the growth of the economy.
3) To allocate resources to high priority areas.
4) To foster rapid industrialization, particularly in private sector, so as to provide
employment opportunities as well as higher production.
5) To develop entrepreneurial skills.
6) To promote the development of rural areas.
7) To finance housing, small scale industries, infrastructure, and social utilities.
Evolution of Development Banks

The concept of development banking originated during the post Second World War
period. Many countries of Europe were in the stage of industrial development and special
financial institutions known as development banks were set to foster industrial growth. In
the US, development financial institutions came into existence for special purposes such
as economic rehabilitation and filling gaps in the traditional financing patterns. Not only
developed countries, but also several underdeveloped countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin
America established special financial institutions to hasten the pace of industrialization
and growth.
The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) known as the World
Bank is the example of development bank at the international level. The major objective
of the World Bank is to promote world development and perform the task of transfer of
enormous financial and technical resources from the developed to developing countries.
PAGE 2 OF 97
The need for development financial institutions was felt strongly immediately after India
attained independence. The country was in need of a strong capital goods sector to
accelerate the pace of industrialization. The existing industries were in need of long-term
funds for their reconstruction, modernisation, expansion, and diversification programmes
while the new industries required enormous investments for setting up gigantic projects
in the capital goods sector. However, there were gaps in the banking system and capital
markets which needed to be filled to meet this enormous requirements of funds.
To fill these gaps, a new institutional machinery was devised the setting up of special
financial institutions, which would provide the necessary financial resources and knowhow so as to foster the industrial growth of the country.
The first step towards building up a structure of development financial institutions was
taken in 1948 by establishing the Industrial Financial Corporation of India (IFCI) Ltd.
This institution was set up by an Act of Parliament with view to providing medium and
long-term credit to units in the corporate sector and industrial concerns.
In view of the immensity of the task and size of the country, it was not possible for a
single institution to cater to the financial needs of small industries spread in different
states. Hence, the necessity for setting up regional banks to cater to the needs of small
and medium enterprises was recognized. Accordingly, the State Financial Corporations
Act was passed in 1951 for setting up State Financial Corporations (SFCs) in different
states. By 1955-56, 12 SFCs were set up and by 1967-68, all the 18 SFCs now in
operation came into existence. SFCs extend financial assistance to small enterprises.
Beginning with establishment of the industrial finance corporation of India, with effect
from July 1, 1948, India has traversed a great deal in the sphere of development banking.
In fact, it would not be wrong to say that in the field of development banking. In fact, it
would not be wrong to say that in the field of development banking, India is fairly
advanced country, with a capacity for providing technical assistance to the less developed
countries in establishing and running development banks.
1.2 STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

1.2.1 Profile of State Financial Corporation
For a vast country like India with a federal set up, it is quite obvious that development
banks at the state level are necessary. This point was set forth in the report of the Central
Banking Enquiry Committee more than six decades back. The idea of having special
PAGE 3 OF 97
industrial financial institutions in the various states was revived at the time of
establishment of the IFCI. State Financial Corporations (SFCs) set up in various states as
regional institutes represent an attempt to diversify the structure of development banking
in India so as to be able to cope up with the requirements of wider sections of industrial
enterprise.
At present, there are 18 SFCs in the country. The states of Manipur, Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Goa, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and
the Union Territories except Delhi have yet to have their own SFC. The area of operations
of a SFC is normally confined to one State/Union Territory, but, they can be extended to
other States/Union Territories which do not have SFC of their own. The Assam SFC
operates also in Manipur and Tripura. Chandigarh is served by SFC of Delhi, while Goa,
Daman and Dieu by Maharashtra, Dadra and Nagar Haveli by Gujarat and Pondichery by
Tamil Nadu SFC.
1.2.2 State Financial Corporations Act, 1951

At the time of the enactment of the Industrial Finance Bill in 1948, it was recognized that
Industrial Financial Corporation would not be able to cater to the capital needs of small
and medium industrial concerns scattered all over the country. The suggestions for the
setting up of Provincial Finance Corporations were received from a large number of
members in the Central Constituent Assembly.
When the Central Government discussed the proposal with the State Governments, they
generally supported the idea but wanted a separate enactment with a view to promote
uniformity and control in management. They considered it necessary in order to make it
possible to incorporate in the Constitution, necessary provisions in regard to majority
control by Government, guaranteed by the State Government in regard to the repayment
of principal, and payment of a minimum rate of dividend on the shares, restriction on
distribution of profits and special powers for the enforcement of its claims and recovery
of dues. Such a statue was also needed to coordinate the activities of the Central
Government, State Governments, RBI and IFCI, with the activities of these Corporations.
While the proposal for the establishment of such Corporations was being examined by
the RBI, IFCI, and the Central Government, Tamil Nadu Government took the lead and
established Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Ltd. under the Companies Act.
PAGE 4 OF 97
In September 1949, the Central Government issued a circular letter to all the State
Governments and after incorporating their views in regard to the shape and structure of
the proposed corporations, the Government introduced the State Financial Corporations
Bill in the Parliament. The Bill was presented by Sh. C.D. Deshmukh, Minister of
Finance on December 13, 1950 which was finally passed on September 28, 1951 and the
State Financial Corporations Act came into force from August 1, 1952. This Act
empowered the State Governments to establish financial corporations in their respective
States. Provision was also made to bring within the scope of this Act, any institution
already in existence, and concerned with the financing of industry. This was done at the
instance of Tamil Nadu Government which wanted to bring within the scope of this Act,
the Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Ltd.
The first State Financial Corporation set up under the Act was the Punjab
Corporation which was established in Feb. 1953. Gradually, similar
Corporations were established in different States. In Karnataka, the State
Corporation was set up on March 30, 1959. At present, there are 18 State
Corporations functioning in different States and Union Territories.

1.2.3 Types of Financial Assistance

A SFC is authorized by Statue to provide different forms of financial assistance.
1) Granting loans or advances for periods not exceeding 20 years;
2) Subscribing to debentures repayable within twenty years;
3) Guaranteeing loans raised by industrial concerns either in the public market or from
scheduled or co-operative banks and repayable within 20 years;

capital goods within India;
5) Underwriting the issue of stocks, shares, bonds or debentures;
6) Subscribing to stocks, shares, bonds or debentures of industrial concerns from out of
the special capital.
SFCs Amendment Act, 1972 has empowered the SFCs to participate in the equity capital
of weaker small and medium industrial undertakings. Since, June 1973, SFCs have also
been authorized to meet the foreign exchange requirements of small and medium scale
units. For this purpose, refinance facility is provided by the IDBI.
PAGE 5 OF 97
SFCs also act as the agent of the Central and State Governments, IDBI, IFCI, or any
other financial institutions in matters concerned with the grant of loans or advances or
subscription to debentures. Most of the IDBI schemes for assistance to small and medium
sectors are operated through SFCs.
1.2.4 Financial Resources of State Financial Corporations
Initially, the Authorized Share Capital of a State Financial Corporation was required to be
fixed by the concerned State Government within the limit of Rs.2 crore. But, subsequent
Amendments authorized the SFCs to raise their Authorized Share Capital.
The share capital of the State Financial Corporation is subscribed by the respective State
Governments, the Reserve Bank of India, Scheduled Commercial Banks, Co-operative
Banks, Insurance Companies, Financial Institutions and private parties. In this
connection, it may be noted that the maximum allotment to private parties cannot exceed
25% of the share capital of each corporation.

1.3 KARNATAKA STATE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

1.3.1 Profile of Karnataka State Financial Corporation
Karnataka State Financial Corporation is a State level financial
institution established by the State
Government in the year 1959 under the
State Financial Corporations Act 1951 to
meet mainly the long term financial needs
of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
(MSMEs) in the State of Karnataka.
Today, while the State economy is making rapid strides in the global market, KSFC is
moving in tandem. As a pioneering and responsive financial institution, KSFC is finetuned to fulfill the plans and aspirations of entrepreneurs by extending all possible
assistance.
In the 52 years of its existence, KSFC has contributed most significantly for the growth
of SMEs, backward area development and promotion of first generation entrepreneurs. Its
achievements in these areas are unparalleled. Since inception, KSFC has assisted more
than 1.60 lakh units with cumulative sanction of more than Rs. 10,464 crore out of which
about 50% is towards SMEs.
PAGE 7 OF 97
Amendments to SFCs Act provide wide-ranging scope in financial assistance and

operational flexibility. Keeping this in view, KSFC has re-engineered itself to ensure
utmost customer satisfaction with new energy, thrust and speed. In line with this, the
Corporation has put in place comprehensive, client-friendly, need-based policies in the
areas of credits and recoveries. Apart from setting standards of performance, these
policies would also achieve the objective of transparent governance.
KSFC an ISO 9001:2000 certified organization is proud to have played a major role in
the industrial development of the State. It is also the proud privilege of KSFC to have
assisted many industries that are internationally recognized like INFOSYS and BIOCON.
1.3.2 Historical Background

In 1950, the Government of India circulated a draft bill for eliciting the views of the State
Government and of the RBI. The SFCs bill was introduced in parliament in December
1950 and passed in 1951; it came into force on AUG 1, 1951.
The KSFC, which prior to November 1, 1973 was known as the Mysore State Financial
Corporation, was established on March 30, 1959, that is to say, the last but one day of the
financial year 1959-60. Although State Financial Corporations Act came into effect as far
back as August 1, 1952, the then Government of Mysore established the Corporation
several years later. In the Reserve Bank Report on Currency and Finance for the year
1955-56, it was stated that the Mysore Government have also decided to set up a financial
corporation. However, this event happened four years later. It has not been possible to
find out the reasons for the delay in the establishment of the corporation. On 1-11-1973, it
was renamed as Karnataka State Financial Corporation.
The Authorized Share Capital was fixed by the Mysore Government at Rs. 2.00 crore out
of which Rs.1.00 crore was fully paid up. The stake of the Government of Mysore in the
Corporation was Rs.40.465 lakhs and that of the RBI was Rs.15.00 lakhs. The Authorized
Share Capital of the Corporation now stands at Rs. 750 Crore. Sri. G. Mathias, I.A.S.,
was the first Chairman of the Board and Sri. M. Vasudeva Rao, I.A.S., was the first
Managing Director.
In the first year of its operation, namely 1959-60, the Corporation sanctioned 11 loans for
a total sum of Rs. 28.00 lakhs. A sum of Rs.13.01 lakhs (to be precise Rs.13,01,238) was
PAGE 8 OF 97
disbursed during the year. Such was the humble beginning of the operations of the
Corporation.
The financial results too were also miniscule. In its first year, the Corporations earnings
aggregated to Rs. 3.33 lakhs of which only Rs. 4,037 was income from loans and
advances to industrial units. The expenses of the Corporation for the year amounted to
Rs. 88,275. Thus, the Corporation made a net profit of Rs. 2,44,775 in the first year of its
operation. Such is the story of the Corporations modest beginning.
Today, the Corporation has grown in leaps and bounds and has touched the operations of
almost all the MSMEs in the State in some way or the other. Since inception, the
Corporation has sanctioned over Rs. 10,464 crore to as many as 1,60,000 MSMEs in the
State of Karnataka. Its operations grew many folds in the 80s and the 90s and for nearly
two decades, the Corporation enjoyed complete dominance over all other SFCs and other
industrial investment and development corporations in the country.
In the late 90s, the Corporation went through a correction mode. This coincided with the
impact of globalization and liberalization on the MSMEs. Being the prima-dona for the
MSMEs in the State, the Corporation had to take severe economic beating due to the fall
of MSMEs in the State in the post liberalization era. However, with committed support of
the major stakeholders, namely, the Government of Karnataka, and SIDBI, the
Corporation bounced back to good health from the year 2003-04.
The Corporation, has so far, assisted small scale units, SC/ST beneficiaries, minority and
backward class, women entrepreneurs and industries in backward areas. The contribution
of KSFC for the overall industrial development in the state of Karnataka is quite
significant not only in terms of amount of assistance, but also in the development of
backward areas and weaker sections of the society.
In the year 2009, KSFC completed its 50th year of its formation and celebrated Golden
Jubilee of the Corporation. The journey of 50 years of the Corporation was a memorable
and successful one characterized by ups and downs.

4.4 CLASSIFICATION OF RATIOS

Accounting Ratios may be classified as under:
1) Traditional Ratios
2) Functional Ratios
4.4.1 Traditional Ratios

Traditional Accounting Ratios are classified on the basis of the origin of the figures used
in the accounting ratios, i.e. on the basis of the Financial Statements from which ratios
are derived. The following ratios are usually included in this type of classification.
4.4.1.1 Balance Sheet Ratios or Financial Ratios
Ratios calculated from the different items as appearing in the Balance Sheet of a concern
are called Balance Sheet Ratios, e.g. Current Ratio, Liquid Ratio, Proprietary Ratio,
Debt-equity Ratio, and so on.
4.4.1.2 Profit & Loss Account Ratios or Operating Ratios
Ratios calculated from the different items as appearing in the Profit & Loss Account of a
concern are called Profit & Loss Account Ratios or operating Ratio, e.g. Gross Profit
Ratio, Net Profit Ratio, Operating Ratio.
PAGE 61 OF 97
4.4.1.3 Mixed Ratios or Composite Ratios

Ratios calculated, taking some items as appearing in the Balance Sheet and taking some
items as appearing in Profit & Loss Account, are called Mixed Ratios or Composite
Ratios, e.g. Return on Net Worth, Return on Investment (ROI), Capital Turnover Ratio,
etc.
4.4.2 FUNCTIONAL RATIOS

they indicate, symptoms or characteristics, namely, liquidity, profitability, financial
stability and turnover relationship, etc. This classification assumes greater significance
because it distinctly the different aspects of business performance and helps the various
users of Financial Statements to take guard of their interest. For instance, short-term
creditors are interested to evaluate the liquidity position by analyzing the liquidity ratios,
while long-term creditors and investors are interested in the solvency and profitability
position of the organization and as such they study the solvency and profitability ratios.
The following ratios are included in this classification.
1)
2)
3)
4)
Liquidity Ratios
Leverage Ratios
Profitability Ratios
Activity/Efficiency Ratios
4.4.2.1 Liquidity Ratios

Liquidity Ratios are those ratios which are computed to evaluate the capacity of the
company to pay off its short-term liabilities. These ratios indicate the short-term financial
position of the company by relating short-term resources with short-term obligations.
These ratios are basically used by the short-term creditors, viz. suppliers, bankers,
lenders, employees and all others who are interested in the recovery of money due to
them. Short-term creditors focus their attention on the liquidity of the company.
The most common ratios which indicate the extent of liquidity or lack of it are as follows:
Current Ratio
PAGE 62 OF 97
This ratio is also called Working Capital Ratio. It is used to assess the short-term
financial position of the business concern. In other words, it is a measure of the
companys short-term solvency, i.e. its ability to meet its short-term obligations. It
matches the total current assets of the company against its current liabilities.
As a measure of short-term solvency, it indicates the rupees of current assets available for
each rupee of current liability. Apparently, the higher the current ratio, the more protected
are the short-term creditors and vice -versa. Conventionally, a current ratio of 2:1 (current
assets twice of current liabilities) is satisfactory. The Formula for computation of current
ratio is given below:
Current Assets
Current Assets Current Liablities

Where,
Current Assets
= Cash in Hand + Cash at Bank + Short-term Investments + Bills

Receivable + Debtors + Short-term Loans & Advances + Inventory
+ Prepaid Expenses.
Current Liabilities = Creditors + Bills Payable + Bank Overdraft + Provision for Taxation
+ Proposed Dividend + Unclaimed Dividend + Payment Received
in Advance + Outstanding Expenses + Other Liabilities Payable
within One Year.

Analysis and Interpretation

The Current Ratios for a period of six years of Karnataka State Financial Corporation are
presented in Table 4.1. The current ratio of KSFC was 2.78:1 in 2005-06 which declined
to 1.48:1 in 2007-08. Thereafter, it again rose to 2.82:1 in 2010-11.
A close look at the table and the chart reveals that Current Ratios of Corporation have
been above the ideal ratio, which is 2:1, during the study period except in the year 200708. It is an indication of a sound liquidity position of the Corporation.
A Current Ratio of 2.78:1 in 2005-06 implies that for every one rupee of current
liabilities, current assets of 2.7 rupees were available to meet them. The protection
available to the short-term creditors declined in 2007-08 to 1.48. However, current assets
were 2.55, 1.98 and 2.82 times of current liabilities in 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11
respectively. An analysis of these figures reveals that the Corporation is able to meet its
short-term obligations in full.
Although KSFC has better short-term solvency position, a higher current ratio of more
than 2:1 may be regarded as an inefficient working capital management. Therefore, it
should have a reasonable current ratio.
Super Quick Ratio:
PAGE 64 OF 97
This ratio is also called, Cash Position Ratio or Cash Ratio or Absolute Liquidity
Ratio. This ratio establishes the relationship between super quick assets and current
liabilities. It may be used by banks and financial institutions who are very much
interested in lending short-term loans to companies for a period of not more than three
months. Generally, an absolute liquid ratio of 0.5:1 is considered as an ideal ratio. This
ratio is computed with the help of the following formula.

Analysis and Interpretation:

The Super Quick Ratios of KSFC over a period of six years are presented in the Table
4.2. The Super Quick Ratio of KSFC was 0.93 in 2005-06. It declined to 0.62 in 2006-07.
These ratios are well above the ideal ratio which is 0.5:1. It suggests that the Corporation
was having sufficient cash and bank balances at its disposal to meet its current liabilities.
The ratio deteriorated in the year 2007-08. The decline in the ratio was due to more
increase in the current liabilities than the super quick assets. The ratio showed an upward
trend in the next two years. Again, it declined to 0.35:1.
The analysis of these figures reveals that the corporation has maintained sufficiently high
amount of cash and bank balances than what is usually considered as ideal, over the years
barring 2007-08 and 2010-11. The ratios in 2007-08 and 2010-11 were 0.26:1 and 0.35:1
respectively which suggest that cash and bank balances were not sufficient to meet the
short-term obligations.
4.4.2.2 Leverage/Solvency/Capital Structure Ratios
PAGE 66 OF 97
The second category of financial ratios is Leverage or Capital Structure Ratios. The longterm lenders/creditors would judge the soundness of a firm on the basis of the long-term
financial strength measured in terms of its ability to assure the long-term lenders with
regard to a) periodic payment of interest during the period of the loan and b) repayment
of principal on maturity or in predetermined instalments at due dates.
There are, thus, two aspects of the long-term solvency of a firm: a) ability to repay the
principal when due and b) regular payment of the interest. Accordingly, there are two
different, but mutually dependent and interrelated, types of leverage ratios. First, ratios
are based on the relationship between borrowed funds and owners capital. These ratios
are computed from the Balance Sheet and reflect the relative / stake of owners and
creditors in financing the assets of the firm. In other words, such ratios reflect the safety
margin to the long-term creditors. The second category of such ratios is based on the
Income Statement and shows the number of times the fixed obligations are covered by
earnings before interest and taxes. In other words, they indicate the extent to which a fall
in operating profits is tolerable in that the ability to repay would not be adversely
affected.
Following are some important leverage ratios
Debt to Equity Ratio
The relationship between borrowed funds and owners capital is a popular measure of the
long-term financial solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown by the Debt-Equity
Ratio. This ratio indicates the relative proportions of debt and equity in financing the
assets of a firm. It reveals the extent to which debt financing has been used in the
business. It discloses to the creditors the extent of their in interest being covered by the
net worth by the company. It can be computed by using the following formula.
Debt-Equity Ratio
Total Debt (Outsider s' Fund )

Shareholder s ' Funds
Where,
Total Debt Debentures + Term Loans + Loans on Mortgage + Loans from Financial
= Institutions + Other Long-Term Loans + Redeemable Preference Share

The Debt-Equity Ratios of KSFC have been presented in Table 4.3. It can be seen from
the table that the increase in shareholders funds has been more than the increase in total
PAGE 68 OF 97
debt. It is seen from the table that there has been continuous decline in the quantum of
debt proportion from 14.75:1 in 2005-06 to 2.49:1 in 2009-10. However, a marginal rise
in Debt-Equity Ratio was seen at the end of the study period.
The Debt-Equity Ratio indicates the margin of safety to the creditors. A ratio of 14.75:1
implies that for every 14.75 rupees of outside liability, the firm has only one rupee of
owners capital. It has serious implications from creditors point of view because owners
are putting up relatively less money of their own. However, KSFC reduced the proportion
of debt in its capital structure over a period of time by issuing more shares. At the end of
the study period, the Debt-Equity Ratio of KSFC was 2.7:1 which is quite an
improvement over 2005-06s ratio. Yet, it is not a satisfactory ratio.
Debt to Total Tangible Assets Ratio
The Debt-Total Tangible Assets Ratio indicates the proportion of total tangible assets
financed by total debt. Symbolically, it is equal to:
Debt-Total Assets Ratio
Total Debt
Total Tangible assets
Where,
Total Tangible Assets = Total Assets (Goodwill + Preliminary Expenses +

It is observed from the table and the chart that the Debt to Total Tangible Assets Ratios of
KSFC revealed a declining trend during the study period except during 2006-07. The
ratio was 1.33 in 2005-06 which signifies that 1.33 rupees of debt is covered by one rupee
of tangible assets. This is undesirable from the point of creditors/lenders as there is no
sufficient margin of safety available to them. There was a slight increase in the ratio in
2006-07. However, the mid and lower part of the study period revealed an altogether
downward trend in the ratio values. This is a welcome change as the margin of safety
available to the creditors/lenders has increased over the years.
On the whole, there have been desirable changes in the ratio values from the perspective
of creditors/lenders. However, the debt holders are still at high risk because of low
margin of safety.
Proprietary Ratio
This ratio is called Equity Ratio or Owners Fund Ratio or Shareholders Equity Ratio.
This ratio points out the relationship between the shareholders funds and total tangible
assets. In other words, it indicates the proportion of total assets financed by owners. The
formula for this ratio may be written as follows:

The Proprietary Ratios of KSFC over a period of six years are presented in tabular and
graphical form. The Proprietary Ratio of KSFC was 9% in 2005-06 which indicates that
shareholders funds form only 9% of total tangible assets employed in the business. From
creditors point of view, it is alarming for them because it indicates more of creditors
funds and less of shareholders funds in the total tangible assets of the company.
PAGE 71 OF 97
A marginal increase in Proprietary Ratio was registered in the next year. A significant rise
in Proprietary Ratio was seen from 9% in 2005-06 to 37.4 % in 2009-10. This rise was
partly due to increase in the amount of reserves and surplus and the issue of additional
share capital The rise in the ratio implies corresponding increase in the security to the
creditors as more shareholders funds are available as safety of margin. Thereafter, the
ratio declined to 34%.
The analysis of these figures reveals that there has been appreciable improvement in the
Proprietary Ratio of KSFC during the period of study. However, creditors are still
exposed to more risk. Usually, a Proprietary Ratio of 50% is regarded as safe.
Fixed Assets to Proprietors Funds Ratio
This is also known as Fixed Assets to Net Worth Ratio. It establishes the relationship
between fixed assets and shareholders funds. The main object of calculating this ratio is
to ascertain the percentage of owners funds invested in fixed assets. This is an indicator
of the efficiency of the management regarding formulation of financial planning. It can
be calculated as follows:

It is observed from the table and the chart that the Fixed Assets to Proprietors Funds
Ratio of KSFC revealed a fluctuating trend during the study period. A thorough scrutiny
of the ratio values reveals that there was a downward trend in upper part of the study
period, that is, 2005-06 and 2006-07. There was a rise in the ratio in 2007-08. There was
again a declining trend during the latter part of the study period.
A ratio of 6.37% implies that 6.37% of shareholders funds are sunk into the fixed assets
which constitute the revenue earning capacity of a business. There was a dip in the ratio
in the next year. This was mainly due to the decrease in the value of fixed assets. The
Ratio increased to 18.59 in 2007-08 which was the highest during the study period. In the
last three years, the value of fixed value decreased as a result of which there was also a
decline in the ratio.
On the whole, the Corporation has used very less amount of shareholders funds in
making investment in the fixed assets especially in the latter part of the study period.
Capital Gearing Ratio
PAGE 73 OF 97
This ratio is also known as Capital Structure Ratio or Leverage Ratio. It is used to
analyze capital structure of the company. It establishes the relationship between fixed
interest, dividend bearing securities and equity shareholders funds. It is an indicator of
the degree of risk involved in the total capital employed in the business. It can be
calculated as follows:
Capital Gearing Ratio =
Interest Dividend bearing Funds

Equity Shareholder s Funds
Where,
Fixed Interest and Dividend bearing Funds = Preference Share Capital + Debentures +

Table 4.7 shows the Capital Gearing Ratio of KSFC for the study period. The Capital
Gearing Ratio of the KSFC reflected a downward trend during the study period except
during 2010-11 which recorded a marginal increase in the ratio as compared to the
previous year.
The ratio was 13.79:1 in 2005-06. It signifies that for every 13.79 rupees of non-owners
funds one rupee of owners funds is available in the capital structure of KSFC. It shows
the KSFCs heavy dependence on outsiders funds which bear fixed charges. It also
shows the amount of security available to non-owners funds which is very meager in this
case (one rupee for every 13.79 rupees). However, the Corporation has been able to
reduce the proportion of non-owners funds to owners funds either by repaying the debt
or raising more funds through shares. It is a healthy sign because it allows KSFC to
operate flexibly.
The Capital Gearing Ratio of KSFC was 2.56 which is slightly higher than the previous
years ratio. This is a significant improvement over 2005-06s figure. But,
creditors/lenders are still exposed to risk because their funds are more than the owners
funds. This is undesirable from their view point.
Interest Coverage Ratio

PAGE 75 OF 97
This ratio establishes the relationship between the amount of net profits or earnings
before the deduction of interest, taxes and fixed interest charges. This ratio is used as a
yardstick for the lenders to know whether the business concern is able to pay its fixed
interest charges on long-term loans periodically. Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated
with the help of the following formula:

Interest Coverage Ratio =

Table 4.8 shows the Interest Coverage Ratio values of the Karnataka State Financial
Corporation during the study period. In 2005-06 Re. 1.05 was available for every one
rupee of fixed interest charges. It does not provide a sufficient margin of safety to the
debt holders because even a slight decline in its earnings would hamper KSFCs ability to
offer assured payment of interest to the lenders.
The further analysis of the figures reveals that Interest Coverage Ratio remained at or
below 1.50:1. The highest ratio was 1.50:1 which occurred in 2007-08 and the lowest was
0.79:1 which occurred in 2008-09. This was the year when KSFC incurred loss. On the
whole, it can be said that earnings available to the lenders are not sufficient. Usually a
coverage of six to seven times is desirable from lenders point of view.
4.4.2.3 PROFITABILITY RATIOS

Profit is the difference between revenue and expenditure over a period of time. It refers to
the absolute quantum of profits, whereas profitability refers to the ability to earn profits.
Profitability ratios are the ratios which are computed to evaluate the performance and
efficiency of the business concern. Profitability Ratios are used by the management,
owners, creditors and employees. Equity shareholders employ these ratios because they
are very much interested in knowing capital appreciation of their investment and dividend
PAGE 77 OF 97
per share. Management employs profitability ratios to assess the operational performance
of the business concern. They are used by the creditors to ascertain the margin of safety
available to them. Profitability ratios are the test of wages and fringe benefits to the
employees. Following are the important profitability ratios:
Return on Assets (ROA)
Here, the profitability ratio is measured in terms of the relationship of between net profits
and assets. The ROA may also be called profit to assets ratio. It is calculated to measure
the productivity of total assets. It is calculated using the following formula:
Net Profit after Interest Tax
Return on Assets = Total AssetsFictitious Assets 100

The term fictitious assets include preliminary expenses, deferred revenue expenditure,
discount on issue of shares and debentures, debit balance of Profit and Loss Account and
other losses shown on the assets side of the Balance Sheet.

Table 4.9 visualizes the net profit after interest and tax as a percentage of total tangible
assets. The Return on Assets over the years has shown fluctuating trend throughout the
study period. In the initial three years, that is, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 the ratio
values showed a rising trend which were 0.36, 1.02 4.01 respectively. In 2008-09, ROA
showed a negative value of 2.31. This is due to the loss that KSFC sustained in that year.
However, KSFC recovered from it very soon and registered net profit in the next two
years.
The analysis of the ratio values reveals that the income generated by the tangible assets
has been very modest during the study period. In other words, the investment made in
tangible assets is not justified by the amount of income generated.
Return on Investment
Return on Investment is also known as Return on Capital Employed or Overall
Profitability Ratio. It is calculated by establishing the relationship between the operating
profit earned and capital employed. It is an indicator of the earning capacity of the capital
invested in the business. It shows efficiency of the business as a whole. This ratio is
calculated by using the following formula:
Operating Profits
Return on Investment = Capital Employed 100

PAGE 79 OF 97
Where,
Capital Employed = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + Reserves and
Surplus + Debentures and Long-Term Loans (Fictitious Assets +
Intangible Assets + Investments outside the Business).
(Or)
Capital Employed = Proprietors Funds + long-Term Loans.

The Return on Investment of KSFC is presented in Table 4.10. It is seen from the table
and chart that the ratio values depicted a fluctuating trend throughout the study period. It
ranged from 10.27, the lowest, in 2008-09 to 16.91, the highest, in 2007-08.
The Return on Investment was 13.6 in 2005-06 which implies that the Corporation was
able to earn Rs.13.6 on Rs.100 investment. It can be considered as reasonably satisfactory
level of return. The return slightly declined in the next year. The Corporation earned
Rs.16.91 on Rs.100 investment which was the highest during the study period as well. In
the subsequent years, KSFC earned a reasonable rate of return on its investment. In the
last year of the study period there was a decline in the rate of return which is not a good
sign for KSFC.
Return on Ordinary Shareholders Equity
While there is no doubt that the preference shareholders are also owners of a firm, the
real owners are the ordinary shareholders who bear all the risk, participate in
management and are entitled to all the profits remaining after all outside claims including
preference dividends are met in full. The profitability of a firm from the owners point of
view should, therefore, be assessed in fitness of things, in terms of the return to the
ordinary shareholders. The ratio under reference serves this purpose. It relates net profit,
finally available to equity shareholders, to the capital employed by them. It is calculated
as follows:
Return on Ordinary Shareholders Equity
Net Profit after Interest , TaxPreference Dividend

100
Ordinary S h are h older s' Equity
Ordinary Shareholders Equity = Equity Share Capital + Reserves and Surplus

The Return on Ordinary Shareholders Equity Ratio of the KSFC for the last six years is
presented in Table and Chart 4.11. The ratio values showed a fluctuating trend during the
study period. A close look at the figures reveals that the ratio values depicted an
increasing trend in the first three years. The fourth year of the study period recorded a
negative return which is because of the loss incurred in that year. Thereafter, there was a
marginal increase in the ratio values.
In 2005-06, the ratio was 0.041 which indicates that the Corporation earned Re.0.041 on
Rs.100 investment by the ordinary shareholders. This is very unsatisfactory level of
return to the equity shareholders who are the owners of the Corporation. In the next two
PAGE 82 OF 97
years there was a little increase in the level of return, which was very insignificant. In
2008-09 there was negative return. In 2009-10, the Corporation made little progress.
Again, in the last year of the study period, the return declined. This is not a healthy sign.
On the whole, the return to equity shareholders is not at all considered to be satisfactory.
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Earnings per Share (EPS) measures the profit available to the equity shareholders on a
per share basis, that is, the amount they can get on every share held. It is calculated by
dividing the profits available to the equity shareholders by number of outstanding shares.
The profits available to the ordinary shareholders are represented by net profits after tax
and preference dividend. Thus,
EPS =
Net Profit after Interest , Tax ,Preference Dividend

The Earnings per Share values of the KSFC for the study period are depicted in the above
table and chart. It can be observed from the above table and chart that the Corporation is
not maintaining the EPS uniformly and at a higher level during the study period. This is
mainly due to negative or low income generated in certain years. The Corporation is not
able to generate even one rupee per share. The income generated is not justifying the
contribution made by the shareholders. On the whole, the EPS of the Corporation is not
considered to be satisfactory.
4.4.2.4 Activity/Efficiency Ratios
Activity ratios make use of purchases and sales while calculating various ratios. But,
KSFC is neither a trading company nor a manufacturing company. Hence, the question of
purchases and sales does not arise in the case of KSFC. Therefore, the activity/efficiency
ratios cannot be calculated for KSFC.
4.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

PAGE 84 OF 97
4.5.1 Research Methodology

The detailed methodology adopted for carrying out the present study is outlined below.
The methodology discusses elaborately the type of research objectives and scope of the
study, sources and collection of data, period of study and the techniques used for the
study. The limitations of the study are also included in this section.
4.5.2 Title of the Study

Financial Analysis of KSFC
4.5.3 Type of Research

The present study is analytical in nature as it attempts to make use of facts or information
already available and analyze these to make a critical evaluation of the information.
4.5.4 Objectives of the Study

Given the significant role played by KSFC in the development of MSMEs, it is felt
necessary to examine the financial performance and position of KSFC. An attempt has
been made to evaluate the financial performance and position of Karnataka State
Financial Corporation and offer constructive suggestions for improving the performance
of the organization. Apart from this primary objective, following secondary objectives
have also been set out to be achieved in this study.
1) To ascertain the reasons that led to the formation of KSFC.
2) To ascertain the contribution made by KSFC to the economic and social development
3)
4)
5)

of Karnataka.
To get the practical knowledge of working of the organization.
To study the organization structure of the company.
To study the various departments working in KSFC.
To study the various products and services offered by KSFC to serve the needs of
different segments of the society.

7) To identify the strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization and explore the
opportunities and threats external to the organization.
4.5.5 Scope of the Study

The Karnataka State Financial Corporation (KSFC) has been selected as a sample unit for
the present study. The scope of the study is limited to the analysis of accounting figures
PAGE 85 OF 97
over a period of six years, that is, from 2005-06 to 2010-11. It involves a comparison of
the ratios of KSFC over time, that is, present ratios are compared with the past ratios of
KSFC itself. It indicates the direction of change in the performance improvement,
deterioration or constancy over the years.
To draw the conclusions, a number of mathematical, financial and technical tools and
techniques have been used in this study. The analysis has been carried out basically to
know the working of the organization and to ascertain the financial strengths and
weaknesses of the Corporation.
4.5.6 Sources of Data Collection

The data for the present study has been collected mainly from secondary sources. For this
purpose, books, journals, reports and websites have been referred to collect the data and
information on SFCs ACT, 1951 and KSFC. Further, the annual reports of KSFC have
been utilized to get the pertinent information on the physical and financial performance
of the organization.
Apart from these, an attempt has been made to collect the information from primary
source, that is, unstructured telephonic interview with the KSFC authority, to get the
information required in the study.
4.5.7 Period of the Study

The period for the present study covers six years from 2005-06 to 2010-11.
4.5.8 Tools and Techniques of Analysis:

The data collected from the financial statements of the sample unit is analyzed with the
help of various tools and techniques. The use and significance of these tools and
techniques applied in the present study are described below.
Ratio Analysis:
Ratio Analysis is claimed to be a widely used tool of financial analysis. It is the principal
technique used in judging the operational and financial performance of the business
enterprise. The analysts, through ratio analysis, can examine not only the performance of
PAGE 86 OF 97
the concerned unit but also make a comparison with other units operating in the similar
field to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.
The technique of ratio analysis involves five steps, namely, formulation of objective,
collection of data, computation of ratio, comparison of ratio with the standard one and the
interpretation and conclusion. The last two steps, i.e. the comparison, interpretation and
conclusion require careful study and sound judgement on the part of the analysts because
there is no clear cut standard for each and every ratio and the interpretation of ratio values
is based on careful thought as to the kind of insight the analysts wish to obtain.
While, studying the financial performance and position of KSFC, it is felt to study
various important ratios falling under the category of liquidity, leverage and profitability.
Other Tools:
Apart from financial techniques, diagrammatic and graphic representations are made to
provide a simplified way of presenting the data for vivid understanding of trends and
relationships.
4.5.9 Limitations of the Study:
The below mentioned are the constraints under which study is carried out.
1) This research being the first research of researcher, errors might have crept in.
2) The study is based mainly on secondary data collected from the published reports,
financial statements of the sample unit and also from different books. Therefore, the
limitations entailing in the secondary data and financial statements will exist in the
study.
3) As the present study deals with a single unit, the inter-firm comparison cannot be
made and hence, its actual performance in comparison to the other SFCs remains
unanswered.
4) The study adopts the analysis through Ratios. Since ratio itself has many loop holes,
the study also resembles the defects present in the ratio analysis.
5) Ratios are stated in numbers. These numbers are objective. But, such numbers are
interpreted by analysts. Hence, according to personal bias, same ratio may be
interpreted differently by different analysts.
6) The results obtained from the analysis of six years figures cannot be generalized.

5.2 SWOT ANALYSIS OF KSFC

5.2.1 Strengths
1. Government Organization
KSFC was established under state Financial Corporation Act-1951, by the government.
The state government has more than 90% of the stake holding, and hence, has gained
public confidence.
2. Wide Network Coverage
KSFC has branches all over the state. There are branches in every district so that the
people can have a better access to the corporation and avail the assistance they need.
3. Well Qualified and Dedicated Human Resources
KSFCs managers and personnel are competent to perform their assigned task and have
the ability to resolve any problems either directly or in consultation with the other
functional executives. The corporation has unique combination of professionals on its
pay-rolls- CAs, CFAs, MBAs, MAs, MCOMs, LLBs, M.TECHs, BEs, PhDs, etc. thus
diversity in its human resources is one of the great strength and asset of the corporation.
4. Diversified Facilities
KSFC not only provides term loans and assistance to small and medium scale industries
but also deals with mutual funds, insurance and also provides other services.
5. Quality service
The managing director and other executives end staff of the organization are committed
to ensuring that the system is effective in achieving quality and satisfying customer both
now and in the future.
6. Availability of all financial services under one roof.
7. KSFC is one of few SFCs in the country which is earning profits.
PAGE 90 OF 97
5.2.2 Weaknesses
1. Higher Interest Rates
Interest rates are costlier when compared to nationalized and private banks and view of
this it is difficult for the organization to attract good customer.
2. Inadaptability
Changing the policy adopted may be difficult to the organization, because it is a statutory
corporation with lots of government control.
3. Outdated System
KSFC still follows an outdated credit appraisal system.
4. Long Procedure
The procedure taken in executing some schemes is very long.
5. Accumulated Losses
KSFC has a huge accumulated loss in its Balance Sheet. This prevents KSFC from
paying dividend to shareholders.
6. Low Earnings
The Corporation has not been able to earn sufficient profit to provide a margin of safety
to the lenders. The investment made in the tangible assets is not justified by the amount
of income that KSFC is able to generate.
5.2.3 Opportunities
1) Development in infrastructure sector
2) The rate of growth of economy also provides an opportunity to extend the financial
assistance to an increasing trend.
5.2.4 Threats
PAGE 91 OF 97
1) Private Banks like ICICI, HDFC and commercial banks are very aggressive in
financing loans by reducing their lower interest rate and processing time in their
corporate finance.
2) Some corporations like IDFC are focusing their operations only on particular area
like infrastructure.
3) Commercial banks are coming up with new innovative ideas for increasing the loan
amount.
CHAPTER 6
FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND
CONCLUSION
PAGE 92 OF 97
FINDINGS
Prior to providing assistance to a new unit an intensive study is done on the
technical feasibility and financial liability of the proposed project by appropriate
expertise in the field.
KSFC has norms to decide the repayment period for a loan. Apart from this cash
generation capacity of the proposed project is considered to fix up actual repayment
period.
KSFC provides guidelines to the borrowers, and supervise/monitor the progress of a
project and makes follow up during the period of project implementation.
KSFC offers a number of schemes with different features to meet the varied needs
and requirements of the clients.
A borrower can avail financial assistance under more than one scheme and can take
additional loan before repaying the previous loan. But this depends upon the
existing loan transactions with the corporation.
KSFC services the nook and corner of Karnataka with its extensive network of 7
zonal offices, 3 super A grade branch offices, and 14 B grade branch offices.
The corporation is effectively utilizing its human resources.
Findings from Financial Analysis

KSfc has huge accumulated losses in its Balance Sheet.
PAGE 93 OF 97
The liquidity position of KSFC has been found to be very satisfactory as represented
by Current Ratio and Super Quick Ratio.
KSFC is heavily relying on debt as a source of funds as represented by Debt-Equity
Ratio.
KSFC strengthened its capital structure recently by issuing more shares which
allows it to operate flexibly.
The Corporation has not been able to earn sufficient profit to provide a margin of
safety to the lenders.
The investment made in the tangible assets is not justified by the amount of income
that KSFC is able to generate.
The amount of earnings available to the equity shareholders is very meager.
PAGE 94 OF 97
SUGGETIONS
KSFC should upgrade its system/technique of credit appraisal by imparting training
to its staff.
In KSFC interest rates are high compared to the other commercial banks. They
should be revised.
The government control should be minimized and working should be done as in a
private company.
Targets should be set to the recovery officers and a special incentive should be
provided to those officers who achieve their targets.
It was observed that Current Ratio and Super Quick Ratio in certain years were found
to be above the standard ratio. Hence, it is recommended that KSFC should try to
reduce working capital and keep it at the required level.
The EPS is much below the desirable ratio. Hence, there is an urgent need to raise the
earnings so that equity shareholders are suitability rewarded.
PAGE 95 OF 97
Conclusion
Karnataka State Financial Corporation which was established in 1959
has significantly contributed to the growth of SMEs backward are
development and promotion of first generation entrepreneurs. It has
assisted more than 1.60 lakh units with cumulative sanction more than
Rs. 10,064 crore.
KSFC offers a number of schemes to serve the different needs of its
clients. It has introduced more than 30 loan assistance schemes for
extending assistance to all sections of the society. It has branches all over the state. There
are branches in every district so that the people can have a better access to the corporation
and avail the assistance they need.
To assess the financial performance and financial condition of KSFC, its financial
statements were studied and analyzed with the help of ratios. It was observed that KSFC
maintained current assets more than what are usually considered as standard during the
study period. As far as its solvency position is concerned, it was found that KSFCs assets
were insufficient to honour its long term obligations. However, a close observation of the
figures of the last years of the study period reveals that it made a good progress. With
regard to its profitability, it can be said that revenue or income generated by the KSFC
was not sufficient to justify the amount of investment made in the business. The earnings
available to the equity shareholders were also too marginal.
On the whole, it can be concluded that though the financial results were not appreciable
in the initial years of the study period, it was able to improve upon its performance over
the subsequent years. But, it still needs to raise its performance standards so that
obligations of lenders are met as and when they become due for payment and equity
shareholders are suitably are rewarded.
