Finances of Foreign Direct Investment Companies, 2000-01
The financial performance of the foreign direct investment (FDI) companies for the period 1998-99 to 2000-01 is presented in this article based on the audited annual accounts of 447 selected companies which closed their accounts during the period April 2000 to March 2001. In the case of companies, which either extended or shortened their accounting year, income, expenditure and appropriation account figures have been annualised. The balance sheet data, however, have been retained as presented in the annual accounts of the companies with the result that the data reported in balance sheets in such cases refer to varying periods. The analysis of the financial performance of the companies over the years is subject to these limitations.
All the selected 447 companies were amongst those included in the regular studies on finances of non-Government non-financial public/ private limited companies for the year 2000-01. Of these, 312 companies are public limited companies and the remaining 135 companies are private limited companies. The selected companies are classified into 9 major country-groups and 10 major industry-groups. A company is classified in a country-group depending upon the origin of the largest FDI share in the company. The industry-group of the company is determined on the basis of the industry from which the company is reported to have earned more than 50 per cent of its total income. The industrial classification of the companies has been revised from this study onwards subsequent to the introduction of the National Industrial Classification - 1998. Industry-wise distribution of the selected companies across the major countries and major industries is presented in Table 1.
The data collected from the 447 selected companies indicated that foreign direct investments in India were predominantly from U.S.A., U.K., and Germany with tallies of 89, 86 and 55 companies respectively. Within major industry-group also, the investments came mostly from these three countries. The two industry-groups, 'Machinery and Machine tools' and 'Chemicals and Chemical products' dominated with 81 and 66 companies, respectively. In the case of 'Tea plantations' eight out of the eleven tea companies had investments from U.K.
A. Overall Performance
The financial results of the 447 FDI companies revealed deceleration in their performance during 2000-01. The growth in sales, manufacturing expenses and profits were lower during 2000-01 than those in 1999-2000. Profit margin (gross profits as percentage of sales) and effective tax rate (tax provision as percentage of profits before tax) decreased marginally in 2000-01 from their level in the previous year.

Total liabilities/assets (unadjusted) of the selected companies increased by 6.3 per cent to Rs.85,823 crore in 2000-01 (Statement 12). The changes in the financing pattern during 2000-01 resulted in minor variations in the capital structure of the selected companies (Table 7). The share of 'Borrowings' and 'Trade dues and other current liabilities' in total liabilities declined from 26.1 per cent and 25.3 per cent in 1999-2000 to each with 24.4 per cent in 2000-01, respectively. The share of 'Reserves and surplus' in total liabilities, however, increased from 35.3 per cent to 37.6 per cent over the same period.
