Explanation / Answer


Both Current ratio and Quick Ratio should be 1 or more to make the company more liquid. Howevr, they have declined in 2017 and the company should increase its liquidity profile by increasing its current assets.

Debt ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio has also increased and is high which means the company is highly leveraged. Equity Multiplier has also increased from FY2016, though less than FY2015 it is high indicating a highly leveraged firm. Debt Services is high, since EBITDA for the company is highly negative with Times interest earned negative as well it means it will be difficult for the company to service its debt.
