their balance sheets look better now than they did 5 years ago...
I ran an Acid Test or Quick Ratio on CHDO going back 5 years to year end 2007, and then for year end 2010 and finally the first 9 months of 2011.
The Balance Sheet showed the following ratios:
2007 - 1.281
2010 - .704
2011 - .892 (thru September 2011)
As you are undoubtedly aware, ratios below 1.0 indicate a company that is in a poor position to cover its debts and is therefore considered a relatively high loan risk by lending institutions.
So I'm a little confused as to how the their balance sheet looks better now?
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
