Based on the financial statement of INCOMFISH information, then the finance ratios will be
calculated as followings:
1. Curren ratio – CR
The current ratio used to assess the short-term payment ability of Corporation by its current
assets. The current ratio is a financial ratio that measures whether or not a firm has enough
resources to pay its debts over the next 12 months. It compares a firm's current assets to its
current liabilities.
Current ratio = Total Current Asset / Total Current Liabilities or short term debt
Incomfish’s current ratio = 241,473 / 173,627 = 1.39, and the avarage of industry is 1.97.
This index means that every penny of liability, the company can pay by 1.39 penny of current
asset. Because the current ratio greater than one (1) so this shows that the company can afford
to pay short term debt. However, when compare this ratio to avarage of industry 1.97, the
current ration of company is lower, so maintain at this ratio is not good for company.
The current ratio have relationship with net working capital, net working capital equal zero if
current ratio equal 1, net working capital is negative if current ration smaller than 1, and the
net working capital is positive if current ratio greater than 1.

2. Quick ratio
The quick ratio measures a higher level of liquidity, only assets with high liquidity to be put
into the calculation. Inventories and other current assets with low liquidity will not be used to
assess for company’s ability to pay for debts.
Formula:
The average ratio of seafood industry 0.96, and the quick ratio of Incomfish is 0.3, this ratio
means that every penny of current liability is guaranteed by 0.3 penny of short-term high
liquidity. Incomfish’s quick ratio 0.3 is lower than 0.96 of industry’s average, so Incomfish’s
ability for payment is not good compared to other companies.

department does not perform well.

too slow, consumable goods is small compare to the average of industry, and the inventory
higher than its sale this prove than the sales policy is not effectively.

of ICF keep in store too long, this cause the company’s cash flow stuck.

The ICF’s EPS is 238 per share & the average EPS of industry is 1,559 per share, as the
outcome, the earning of ICF over common stock is too small comparing with industry, this may
not interest the investors.
Based on the analysis of ICF, I have my conclution about the company business situation; ICF
have not built the stable exporting market yet, ICF is heavily influenced by the anti-dumping
lawsuit seafood export to the U.S market. ICF also have been not maintaining the stability export
to other major market such as Japan & EU market.
ICF is not completely proactive about the raw materials, purchased power dependent on directly
purchases and/or imported. All the above elements & factors lead to the revenue and profits over
the years are low, and the other reason is due to the processing plants not operating at full
capacity leading to costly inefficiencis & increasing costs.
This analysis is generated & performed based on the financial statement of Incomfish company
and other truth sources, however I do not guarantee that all information & database is completely
sufficient and/or arcurately 100 percent, so this analysis purpose for case study & reference
source for whom intending to invest into this security.
