Kona Grill Management Efficiency

The company has return on total asset (ROA) of (8.94) % which means that it has lost $8.94 on every $100 spent on assets. This is way below average. Kona Grill's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Kona Grill manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 45.15 M in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 1.01, which is about average as compared to similar companies. Kona Grill has a current ratio of 0.6, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations when due. Debt can assist Kona Grill until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Kona Grill's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Kona Grill sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Kona to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Kona Grill's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
