Profitability - this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; 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; Gearing - this value is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage.
