Gain
On a balance sheet we might say that current assets are 21.72% (2018) and 20.71%
(2017) of total assets—total assets being the base amount.
The biggest part of the assets are the net property, plant and equipment which comprise
56.56% (2018) and 57.82% (2017) of the total assets. Net property, plant and equipment
decreases maybe because the company has stored enough equipment that they don’t have to buy
the same equipment for the next year. The total non-current assets have decreased from 9.18% to
1.05% of the total assets. Trade receivables and inventory are somewhat balance with around 2%
apart from each other. It shows that the receivables are 7.05% and cash with 4.78%.
When it comes in financing assets, liabilities are the main sources of assets since the debt
ratio increases from 23.95% to 24.41%. Therefore, they are always debt financing. There is a
loss in retained earnings or deficit. Globe Telecom Inc. is choosing to finance its growth through
issuing additional debt. rather than through retention of earnings.

RATIO ANALYSIS
A financial ratio, also known as an accounting ratio, is the magnitude of two numerical values
obtained from a company's financial statements. Many standard ratios are used in accounting to
try to determine a corporation's or other organization's overall financial condition.
Ratio analysis examines line-item data from financial accounts to uncover information about a
company's profitability, liquidity, operational efficiency, and solvency. Ratio analysis can be
used to track a company's performance over time and compare it to other companies in the same
industry or sector.
Liquidity ratios are used to measure the Max Group’s ability to meet its short-term obligations as
they mature.
Typically, it is used to answer the question “how quickly” can convert its assets to cash without
incurring any loss in value to meet short term obligations.

are listed below.

previous year. It also shows that the immediate short-term liquidity also increased. From 4.65 to 6.10, it
also shows that the receivables have also increased and lastly the liquidity of inventory also shows that it
is also increasing.

and the items or cash to be received are increasing.

Equity Equity
The efficiency with which a corporation uses its assets to create sales is measured by
asset turnover. The final figure represents the amount of sales generated for every dollar invested
in assets. As a result, the greater the ratio, the more effective Globe Telecom Inc. has been in
using its resources, even though the ratio has somewhat fallen. In terms of profitability ratios,
Globe Telecom Inc. made a gross profit of 67 percent of sales in 2017 and 67 percent of sales in
2018. While each dollar of sales yielded 11.57 percent net profits. This shows that the company's
profit margins are low. As a result, the greater the ratio, the better. Although it has a positive
income, it is not a good sign that the company's profitability ratios are favorable.
This table demonstrates that the corporation has only produced a small amount of revenue from
its sales. In addition, some factors continue to have relevance in the net profit margin and return
equity does not change and does improve.
Solvency ratios measure the ability of a company to survive over a long period of time. Long-term
creditors and stockholders are particularly interested in a company’s ability to pay interest as it
comes due and to repay the face value of debt at maturity.

RATIO NUMERATOR DENOMINATOR 2018 2017
Debt to Total Liabilities Total Shareholders' .76 .76
Equity Ratio Equity
Debt Ratio Total Liabilities Total Assets 76.56% 76.03%
Because the debt-to-equity ratio is less than one in both years, debt has less weight than equity.
For both years, the ratio remained at.76, indicating that the company utilized less debt over those
two years of operation. Debt accounts for 76.56 percent of assets in 2018. Debt accounts for
76.03 percent of assets in 2017. Since debt ratios are larger than 50% in both years, debt is
bigger than equity. As a result, Globe Telecom Inc. always relies on debt funding. It also
indicates the company's inability to endure losses in some way. The higher the debt-to-total-
assets ratio, the more likely the corporation will be unable to satisfy its maturing commitments.
It's a sign that the business isn't in the black.
The corporation can pay the interest expense 46 times in 2018 and 27 times in 2017, as
shown in the table above. Consider how much money a large corporation makes. They can cover
the interest expense on average 27.5 times during the course of the period or accounting cycle. It
demonstrates that the corporation is able to satisfy its interest obligations with the money it
earns.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In the light of the foregoing, the following conclusions are hereby made:
Globe Telecom Inc. has been steadily increasing its sales during the years it has been in
business.
The net income continues to rise, and it has been profitable for the past two years.
The average sale period is at an all-time high, and it's just getting higher.
If current assets are converted into cash, they can cover current liabilities.
The net income will not only be used to pay off liabilities, but it will also be used to cover
expenses and other items that are worth keeping.
