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 0.75 times in 2010, decrease from 0.89 times, then the company has not enough current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to cash for pay financial obligations.
