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?
