of liquid asset. This company is not financially strong.
The current ratio of 2008 is 1.33% which is 0.173% more than 2007 but it is less then
2006 current ratio .This shows that company has more assets then its liabilities in 2006
because the current ratio of 2006 is much better then 2007 and 2008. In 2006 we have
more assets then its liabilities.
In 2006 our assets are 1137756 and liabilities are 1080260 in 2007 assets 1275368 and
liabilities are 1431136 that show assets increase by 137612 and liabilities increase by
350876 which is more then double then asset.
So this double increase in liabilities affects all liquidity ratios. In 2008 asset increased by
138741 and liabilities decrease by 371151. So this increase in asset and decrease in
liabilities show upward move in liquidity ratio in 2008.

Analysis:-
This ratio shows about the long term solvency measure. The first ratio tells us about the
ratio between total debt and total assets it shows that debt generate how much of total
asset if we take debt then this debt generate assets or not if this ratio is low it shows that
we are in utilizing debt properly.
This company is not in good condition so its debt coverage ratio is also not good in 2008
and 2007 but it is much better in 2006.Its Interest coverage ratio condition is very bad in
2008 it become -1.188 .Times interest earned indicates the firm’s long term debt paying
ability with respect to income statement view. This explains whether company will be
able to meet its interest obligations. ETNL is most able in year 2006 to meet its interest
obligations because at that time the interest cost was less as compared with other two
years. Interest cost is continuously rising over the years. The figures of ETNL indicate
that it has good coverage of interest which will result in no problem in paying the
principle when it will come due, in the long term. The reason for increase in finance cost
in year 2008-07 was major rise in mark-up on long term borrowings and Finance Lease..
Debt ratio is also an indication of firm’s long term debt paying ability. Debt ratio
indicates the percentage of assets financed by creditors. The debt ratio of ETNL hadn’t
showed much variation during three years. However debt ratio in year 2006 is 0.807
which was good for ETNL, but this in 2007 0.863 and 0.872 in 2008. This is indicating
a risk in case of insolvency. Because ETNL may not be able to protect creditors in case of
insolvency. It helps to find out the long term debt paying ability of the firm. In simple
word we could say that it shows that how much assets a company utilizes to pay its
liabilities and how much the creditors are secured. From lay man prospective the lower
this ratio the better the company position will be. Above calculations show that in 2008,
company have very high assets as compared to other two years but the liabilities are low
then 2007.But its debt ratio is higher then last year which is dangerous for company.

Analysis:-
Inventory turnover indicates the liquidity of the inventory. This is related with next ratio.
If day’s sales in receivable are higher then inventory turnover will be lower. Inventory
turnover is indicating how many times in a year ETNL”s inventory is converted into
sales. By keeping in view the nature of business of ETNL, the inventory turnover of
average 98 times during previous three years is good. ETNL has not able to decrease its
cost of goods sold in year 2008 and is also maintaining more inventory than previous
years; but it efficiency in operations by ETNL. Inventory turnover shows the liquidity of
the inventory means how much company is utilizing its inventories. Year 2006 shows
that inventory turnover is 3.99times which is lower than other two years. Means
company is not making better use of inventory in 2006 as compared to other two years.
Its also shows that in 2008 there is high stock in trade which is idle as compared to other
two years. But in 2007 company again shows a positive result and utilizes its inventory
efficiently.
