Hindustan Aeronautics
by cbrcoder@rediffmail.com on May 05, 2011 07:07 PM  | Hide replies

Hindustan Aeronautics:
Total sales: $2.94 billion
Total profits: $611 million

Rank 1: EADS (Europe)
Total sales: $59.47 billion
Total profits: $769 million

Look at the profit ratio!. Hindustan Aeronautics is extremely profitable. Selling 1/25 of EADS and still making almost equivalent profit!

Figures may be correct if these for for a particular year and HAL use cash based accounting (as most Indian PSU do). India PSU are moving toward accrual accounting and not sure about the status of HAL.

In case based accounting, they can keep spending money for many years and when they sell the stuff (after spending for many many years on it), there profit will be huge for that one year.

cash based accounting does not have matching principle which says spending and revenue should match in each period.

We can easily know by looking their profit/revenue for past few years if they are using cash accounting. If that is the case, this is not apple to apple comparison with other companies wrt to profit.

Since when has HAL started producing missiles?
Can you name some? Do not report inaccurately please. For your information, the only Indian missile manufacturer is Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), another defence PSU like HAL.

I second that.
Before 1776 when US was formed war and battles were unknown to mankind.

US is the country who invented war and weapons, before that world was very peaceful place to live.
