To comment on the performance of Savannah Ltd using the following criteria.
(i) Profitability ratios: The profitability of the firm has improved as reflected by the net profit margin and return on capital employed. Although the net profit margin has declined slightly by about 2% to 13.61%, the gross profit has increased from 42% to 45.29%. This may be due to increase sales.

(ii) Liquidity ratios: The liquidity position of Savannah Ltd. has improved as shown by both the Current
ratio and acid test ratio. The current ratio has increase from 0.78 to 0.86. The increase in current
liabilities was more than the increase in current assets.

(iii) Efficiency ratio: The efficiency of the company declined as shown by the receivables collection
period. The number of days increased from 37.51 days in 2009 to 43.44 days in 2010. This is due to the
decline in the receivables turnover from 9.73 in 2009 to 8.36 in 2010
