Honda Atlas Cars [Pak] Ltd

Research and Analysis Project
Project Objectives and Research Approach:
The topic I selected for my BSc RAP is ‘The Business and Financial Performance of an
Organization over a three year period.’

Reasons for choosing the Topic:
For any organization to breath it is essential that it copes with environment through its strengths and strategies and manages finance effectively. An organization’s Business &
Financial performance plays a leading role in deciding its position in the industry. That’s why I chose this topic as it is even more important to know an organization’s performance during a Global Economic meltdown when markets have been declining.
Even more, this has been the major part of my studies and I had a chance to enhance my knowledge and develop practical skills in the area.

Reasons for choosing the Industry:
I chose automobile industry as it is a major sector of the country having a major contribution to the economy.
Secondly, I wanted to know about challenges being faced by the auto sector during the financial crisis.
Thirdly, I was curious to know about the key players of the industry and to find out about one’s performance.

Reason for choosing the Company:
Honda Atlas is a joint venture between Honda Motor Company Japan and the Atlas
Group of Companies Pakistan.

    Research on Atlas Honda

    • 4748 Words
    • 19 Pages

    The topic chosen by me for the research and analysis project is AN ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF YOUR CHOICE OF ORGANISATION. The reason for choosing this topic is that I am very comfortable with financial techniques and methods that are used to carry out financial analysis. Financial courses covered in ACCA part 1 and 2 were of key interest to me. The organization selected for the financial analysis is ATLAS HONDA LIMITED being the market leader in the motorcycle industry in Pakistan. The company attracted me to be selected for the project because the company is the leading company in the motorcycle industry with few unestablished competitors. The company is a public limited company with an annual turnover of Rs6,977.4 millions, which makes it a leading company of public sector in our country. As the project is related with financial analysis of the company it is easier for me to apply the financial tools learned in ACCA. It is easier for me to examine the financial position of Atlas Honda Ltd, as the management of the company is willing to provide me with sufficient financial data that will aid in carrying out a financial analysis. As this is public limited company information related to the company is also available through different magazines, government agencies, credit rating agencies (pacra), industry experts and websites. Atlas Honda Ltd is a company of Atlas group of companies. The foundation of the Atlas Group was laid in 1962 with the establishment of Shirazi Investments (Pvt) Limited with a capital of half a million rupees and three men doing business in trading shares and real estate. (www.atlasgrouppk.com) Atlas Honda Ltd was incorporated as a public limited company on October 16, 1962 and its shares are listed on Karachi and Lahore Stock Exchanges in Pakistan.

    Indian Auto Component

    • 24875 Words
    • 100 Pages

    The ~Rs. 1,600 billion Indian auto components industry has been witnessing a moderation in its revenue growth since the beginning of this fiscal following the deceleration in sales volume growth across all automobile segments. As per industry estimates, out of the total turnover of the Indian auto components industry, around 60% is derived from sales to domestic OEMs, around 25% comes from sales to the domestic replacement market and around 15% is derived from exports. While lower YoY volume growth of domestic OEMs in 9m 2011-12, particularly those belonging to the passenger vehicle (PV) and Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M&HCV) segments, translated into muted revenue growth for the auto components industry during this period; the sluggishness was partly arrested on the back of rise in component exports and higher domestic replacement market sales. While the long term prospects for the industry remain strong in line with the outlook for the OEM segment, the industry faces strong challenges in the form of threat of low cost imports, currency volatility and ability to invest on product development to be able to move up the value chain. Apropos our sample of 35 listed auto component manufacturers, the revenue growth of these select entities has been in low single digits over the last three consecutive quarters on QoQ basis and in double digits on YoY basis. Within our sample universe, however, there was a wide variance in the performance of individual companies with revenue growth being relatively higher for companies dependent on the domestic two-wheeler (2W) and Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segments; and growth being lower/…
