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  3.23%, 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 5.28%, 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 1.2 times in 2010, decreased from 1.23 times, then it is generally considered to have good short-term financial strength. 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 0.57 times in 2010, decreased from 0.61 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 71 days.
