Gross profit margin serves as the source for paying additional expenses and future savings. The  company’s figure is  10.64%. 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 0.22%. When compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was lower.

 

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. When compared with the industry average, it was lower, the company's figure is 0.54%.

 

Return on Equity indicates how profitable a company is by comparing its net income to its average shareholders' equity, ROE measures how much the shareholders earned for their investment in the company. When compared with the industry average, it was lower, the company's figure is 4.46%.

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 0.95 times in 2011, decreased from 1.04 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 0.67 times in 2011, increased from 0.48 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 60 days.
