Despite this, the company has reduced its debt to equity ratio from 89.6% to 54.3%, and its interest payments are well covered by EBIT at 4.3 times coverage. Short-term assets of ₪58.8 million exceed both short- and long-term liabilities, indicating solid liquidity management, although high net debt to equity at 50.5% suggests financial leverage concerns remain significant for potential investors in penny stocks.
