From the financial report September 30, 2016 we can know the financial condition in Unilever.
Based on financial report we know that most of the company transaction are using Foreign
Exchange such as US Dollars and Euro. And the table below show the information of financial
reporting.
The table above shows that PT Unilever Indonesia, Tbk has decrease its short-term liabilities,
this condition means that the ability of the company to pay off its current liabilities is increasing.
Even though the liquidity ratio has increasing but the condition not too good because companys
short-term liabilities is more than its short-term liabilities which is if in the event of an emergency,
the company cant pay all of its short-term debts. So company should prepare the availability fund
to pay interest short term bank loan (fixed cost). From the debt equity ratio, we can see that the
portion of ratio has been decreasing. Even though the ratio has decreasing but the condition not
too good because the total liability that company had should be lower than its equity. But if we
breakdown the total liability that company have, 92% of the total liabilities come from the current
liabilities. From that fact, it gives the same implication in term of risk. So, Unilever has to prepare
the availability fund in order to cover their short term debt.
