operating efficiency of the Company. From this study it was found that the funds are used for
short term funds which should be avoided. The Company’s liquidity position is not satisfactory
due to more concentrate on raising the fixed assets rather than operating activities, which
decreases working capital of the Company and which also affects the operational efficiency of
