Questa è la situazione
With current liabilities at US$643.7m, it appears that the company has been able to meet these obligations given the level of current assets of US$943.3m, with a current ratio of 1.47x. Generally, for Food companies, this is a reasonable ratio since there’s a sufficient cash cushion without leaving too much capital idle or in low-earning investments.

Is DF’s debt level acceptable?
With total debt exceeding equities, DF is considered a highly levered company. This is not uncommon for a small-cap company given that debt tends to be lower-cost and at times, more accessible. But since DF is currently loss-making, sustainability of its current state of operations becomes a concern. Running high debt, while not yet making money, can be risky in unexpected downturns as liquidity may dry up, making it hard to operate.
