Presentation
The company’s net income in the year ending June 2019 was $72.2
million representing a $38.2 million decline from the previous
year.
The assets are also decreasing from $ 1,519.4 million to the
current $1,300.3 million.
This is a negative sign for the company as it means that its sales
are decreasing and are also selling assets without replacing them
The inventories have increased from $ 140.2 million to $ 142.4
million.
This means that now the company is producing more than it can
sell in that period
Compared to the last financial year, the company has
performed poorly
Though it has posted bad results, it was widely expected as
the market has become congested and also smart phone and
computer sales have decreased...
