As their strength is high-profit margin as compared to previous two years.The weakness that is analyzedis,less current assets,low-debt as they are not able to pay off their debts due to less generation of cash.
From the above,it is analyzed from the income statement that company is earning better revenue in 2016,as compared to previous years,the reason for being in negative is because of negative net financial cost.AsMYOB is lacking in their current assets i.e. the ideal current ratio is 2:1 but in this case the company ratio 1.052:1 in 2016
.Through the analysis of cash flow statement,it is declared that investing activities was positive in 2014 followed by negative in 2015 and 2016,this examines that company has purchased and invested a lot.Afterwards,the important source of the financing activities is negative which is not good for MYOB as unlikely in 2014.
Moreover,the cash equivalents are good this shows anincreasingpath.AsMYOB company is performing good in its profit margin ratio which now had increased from the last two years. Which shows agood return from their sales.
Even though,the company is not taking ahuge risk which makes them apart from the losses.As their debt ratios examine that the company is performing safe and make their well fair/ good management of the debt and equity.
So,the recommendation to this situation is,The company has to increase its assets to gain 2:1 ratio.Hence,they have to improve its current ratio.
