COMMENT

 

Brand  Ricoh  ranks  fifth  in Thai  market  office  automations.   Thailand  is  one  of  the  Ricoh  markets  for  more  than  20  years.  The  country  floods  crisis  has  affected  office  automation  market  growth.   Unit  sales  have  dropped  sharply,  due to slump in demand  and  a shortage  of  some  parts.  In  the fourth  quarter of  2011,  demand  plunged  by  40%,  but  expected  to  rebound  in  next   year’s  second  quarter.

Gross profit margin serves as the source for paying additional expenses and future savings. The company’s figure is 142.39%. When compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was higher, this indicated that company was more profitable than the same industry.

 

Net Profit Margin is the indicator of the company's efficiency in that net profit takes into consideration all expenses of the company. A low profit margin indicates a low margin of safety, higher risk that a decline in sales will erase profits and result in a net loss. The company’s figure is  23.86%, higher figure when compared with those of its average competitors in the same industry, indicated that business was an efficient operator  in a dominant position within its industry.

 

Return on Assets measures how efficiently profits are being generated from the assets employed in the business when compared with the ratios of firms in a similar business. A low ratio in comparison with industry averages indicates an inefficient use of business assets. Return on Assets ratio is 5.6%, higher figure when compared with those of its average competitors in the same industry, indicated that business was an efficient profit  in a dominant position within its industry.

The Current Ratio is to ascertain whether a company's short-term assets are readily available to pay off its short-term liabilities. The company's figure is 0.93 times in 2011, increased from 0.33 times, then the company may have problems meeting its short-term obligations. When compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was lower.

 

The Quick Ratio is a liquidity indicator that further refines the current ratio by measuring the amount of the most liquid current assets there are to cover current liabilities. The company's figure is 0.65 times in 2011, increased from 0.21 times, then the company has not enough current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to cash for pay financial obligations.

 

The Cash Conversion Cycle measures the number of days a company's cash is tied up in the production and sales process of its operations and the benefit from payment terms from its creditors. It meant the company could survive when no cash inflow was received from sale for 2 days.
