From what I have read and gathered; over the past (3) three years, Luna Lighting financials does have the possibility to expand within the next few years. The companies average collection period on money has decreased in the last three years and is better than industry average. The inventory turnover rate has maintained at steady level and is in line with industry average. The fixed assets turnover rate has decreased and is well below industry average. The total asset turnover has gone down below the industry average. The debt ratio which is total debt/total assets for all three years is 50%. The debt ratio is a little lower than the company average which is good. With this information the company would be able to meet their debt requirements. Time interest earned is operating profit-interest expense is higher than the industry average by 1.1.
The fixed charge coverage has decreased in the last three years and is 1.1 lower than the industry average. The fixed coverage charge ratio measures the payments with the leases and refers to the rent expense in the annual reports, being lower then industry average is a good sign. The gross profit margin has remained consistent for the last three years and is 3% higher than industry average, another good sign that the company is earning money. The operating profit margin is lower than industry average, this would make me want to look and see if there have been cut backs and what has brought down the cost because it was significantly higher in previous years.

Im form a part of my town ...
The net profit margin is also lower than the industry average and this would lead me to believe something is going on and needs to be looked into because the gross was so much better. The return on assets and return on equity fall way below the industry average. From what I have taken in is that I speculate that there is something going on with the internal controls, maybe inventory or operations that are leading the company to not have as much return on assets as desired.
