Analysis: It represents the margin of safety or cushion available to the creditors. It is an index of the firms financial stability. It is also an index of technical solvency and an index of the strength of working capital. That is why in general creditors would like to see a higher current ratio. A relatively low current ratio represents that the liquidity position of the firm is not good and the firm shall not be able to pay its current liabilities in time without facing difficulties. Above chart shows that the current ratio of Fu-wang is in a very poor condition.the ratio did not even rise higher then 1:1 in these three years. Reasons behind decreasing of current ratio1: We have observed from the balance sheet that the current liabilities have increased faster than the current assets every year. Specifically due to short term bank loans, accrued

Annual report 2007-20008,p14, Annual report 2010,p13

expences, liabilities to other creditors were paid more slowly in each year. This condition represents the difficulty in short term solvency of the company.

Recommendation:
-Paying some debts. -Increasing their current assets from loans or other borrowings with a maturity of more than one year. -Converting non-current assets into current assets. -Increasing their current assets from new equity contributions. -Putting profits back into the business.

Analysis:
The true liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short term obligations as and when they become due. Liquid ratio is more rigorous test of liquidity than the current ratio because it eliminates inventories and prepaid expenses as a part of current assets.. It measures the firm's capacity to pay off current obligations immediately and is more rigorous test of liquidity than the current ratio. In every year,their current assets are lower than their current liabilities

Reasons behind poor liquid ratio: Low cash and cash equivalents Increasing amount of short term credit Overall increase in accrued expenses Current liabilities has increased from 273.5mn to 416.09mn

Recommendation:

Collecting account receivables quickly to pay off its current liabilities without having to liquidate its inventory.

Paying off accrued expenses.

Negotiating longer payment terms with their vendors whenever possible to keep the money longer. Issuing loans and short term bonds

Analysis: Both average and general inventory have increased every year. Inventory turnover ratio of 2009 is lower than last two years This ratio has increased in 2008, but deteriorate in 2009

COGS increased, decreasing the gross profit. Proportionate to current assets, there is high inventory, which is rising their holding cost. May be they are holding obsolete products.

Recommendation: The ratio does not show an increasing trend. They should operate an investigation, if their turnover ratio does not fall within their predetermined range. They should take proper step to increase turnover ratio because it is increasing their holding cost. Converting idle inventory into liquid asset is required. If they are holding any obsolete item, then they should sell those. Improvement in inventory management is recommended

Analysis:

TIE ratio doesnt show any marked improvement. EBIT seems to be reducing. The fraction figure shows that the amount of interest is higher than EBIT. It also shows that the firm is failing to meet the obligation to cover its interest annually, possible resulting in bankruptcy. Lenders might not be willing to lend additional funds to the company

Recommendation:
The firm may look for issuing more equity instead of borrowing loans to finance its activities. It may control its administrative, selling and distributing expenses to increase the ratio.

It may finance its debts by selling some its old inventories/fixed assets.

EBIT was not given directly in income statement. It was calculated by adding operating profit and financial expense.

Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit / Net Sales100 Analysis: Net sales and gross profit increased in 2009 High COGS against sales Declining gross profit ratio expresses ineffective sales management. Selling price might have not increased at the same pace with COGS Gross profit ratio is not enough to build up reserves after paying all fixed interest, charges and dividends.

Recommendation for Net profit, Net operating profit and gross profit ratio:

If there are any decrease in the selling price of goods, without corresponding decrease in the
cost of goods sold, that must be considered to raise gross profit ratio. Improved ability of management to developed sales volume, or omission of sales is required to improve gross profit. Skilled management is needed to develop operating efficiency, incorporating all of the expenses of ordinary, daily business activity. administrative and selling expense is require to be decreased High interest charges will pull the net income down.in such case company should avoid heavy debts. Efficient use of working capital is needed
