Net profit as a percentage of equity — the return the owners earned on their invested capital this year.

Liquidity
Current ratioVery weak
Among the 20% lowest rated companies in the industry
Current assets relative to short-term debt — the ability to settle short-term obligations with current assets alone. Around 150% is considered satisfactory from a credit perspective.
Quick ratioWeak
Among the 40% lowest rated companies in the industry

Fixed assets to long-term capitalVery weak
Among the 10% lowest rated companies in the industry
