The company's figure is 0.49 times in 2014, decrease from 0.34 times, then the company has not enough current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to cash for pay financial obligations.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 2.63 and 4.34 in 2014 and 2013 respectively. This ratio measures the efficiency of the company in managing its trade debtors to generate revenue. A lower ratio may indicate over extension and collection problems. Conversely, a higher ratio may indicate an overtly stringent policy. In this case, the company's A/R ratio in 2014 decreased from 2013. This would suggest the company had deteriorated in the management of its debt collections.
