1) The Current Assets has decreased from 44.21% to 25.74% i.e. by 18.47% and the Current Liabilities has reduced from 22.31% to 8.84% i.e. by 13.47%. Despite the decrease in the Current Assets and the decrease in the Current Liabilities, the Current Ratio has improved.

Thus from this, it can be inferred that the company had purchased fixed assets from long-term source of finance. As the fixed assets were financed through the long-term debts, so the company's working capital remained unaffected.

3) Analysing the reducing figures of the Cash and Bank Balances, it can be inferred that the company has a poor cash management policy. Thus we can predict that the company may face an acute liquidity problem.
