Liquidity
Current ratioVery weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry

Quick ratioVery weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
Current assets excluding inventory relative to short-term debt — whether the most liquid assets alone can cover the short-term obligations. A value of 1 or above signals a healthy liquidity position.

Fixed assets to long-term capitalNot rated
