FINANCIAL SITUATION

SATISFACTORY
According to the last Financial Statement, the company's Financial Standing is considered to be Satisfactory as it has an adequate liquidity ratio. Working capital is positive and allows an orderly fulfillment of payments. Debt-to-equity ratio is acceptable. Economic results have been satisfactory.
 
The external situation and lack of credit will determine a small reduction in profitability and sales volume, expecting a small but positive result. The gradual replacement of manufacture by import at low cost and addind new lines of business oriented to the same clients' database will improve results for 2011-2012 fiscal year.
 
NEOSUL S.A. is an industrial company with a solid history and image in Uruguay and in the region.
In the past years, it has gone through a reduction process in view of the loss of competitiveness for growing industrial costs and industrial scale and domestic market reasons. Such process is complemented with the entry to the commercial activity as bulk import of finished products, mainly from orient. The strategy is having positive results, but it becomes slow because of the lack of credit.
