In addition, SPT owns over 13,800+ bus stop pole mounted information cases located at around 9,760+ bus stops throughout 12 Council areas which require regular programmed cleaning and reporting of damage to SPT via an established reporting procedure. The bus stop poles and flags will also be cleaned and inspected at these visits. A requirement of the cleaning is to open the information cases and clean inside.",

If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; 2 Liquidity - this value is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to one then it is a pass for this ratio; 3 Gearing - this value is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio.
