FIXED ASSETS (NET) / NET WORTH measures liquidity by comparing "fixed" assets with "fixed" capital. A lower ratio indicates proportionately smaller investment and a better "cushion" for creditors in case of liquidation. This may be important if the fixed assets are not easily used in other businesses. The presence of substantial leased fixed assets (not shown on the balance sheet) may deceptively lower this ratio. Therefore smaller is better, i.e., greater than .75 (75%) should merit caution.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO) is a contract in which an investor or securities dealer sells a United States security to a bank or other corporation and agrees to repurchase the security later at a specified time and price, including interest. The investment period ranges from one day to several months, and the purchaser earns interest competitive with money market rates.
