Liquidity Ratios in Bank Loan Covenants
Bank loan covenants are restrictions that require stated levels of performance by borrowers, and are often measured by standard financial ratios. The research on loan covenants has assumed that these measures are useful, providing information to lenders as to the viability of borrowers. This analysis uses a sample of current ratios to suggest that such balance sheet ratios may have limited predictive value of impeding defaults, and proposes that total receipts-to-cash flow, a ratio comprised of data from both significant financial statements, provides superior forecasts of such outcomes. The research is based on U.S. experience during the recent credit crisis

Mergers And Acquisitions: Today's Catalyst Is Working Capital
In developed economies M&As are now used to acquire balance sheet assets, particularly cash hoards and other working capital; previously, M&A was oriented to strategic diversification or integration. Although the volume of deals is down due to global economic conditions, the premiums paid for companies remain robust. Acquirers appear to understand the risk inherent in these transactions, including the threat of investigation by US, EU, and Japanese regulators. Until the recent problems with lines of credit provided by banks, many companies held excessive amounts of liquidity, making them vulnerable to unfriendly takeovers. Various consulting companies have international practices in working capital management, including advising on mergers and assisting management to achieve efficiencies after the deal is completed. Global M&A looks for the following characteristics: a high current assets-to-revenue relationship; a holding of cash that is not likely to be applied to business operations; and a proven income stream that should provide adequate cash flow to pay down borrowings used to provide financing for an acquisition.http://www.financepractitioner.com/contentFiles/QF01/hmz2o7ek/13/0/mergers-and-acquisitions-todays-catalyst-is-working-capital.pd
Energy and Transportation Policy
This paper presents experimental data which exemplifies the differences in emission level testing on internal combustion engines when dynamic engine tests are used instead of steady-state engine tests. A comparison of the two test methods is made using hydrocarbon fuels with varying amounts of methanol. Emissions measured include the nitric oxides, unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. Emission levels and fuel consumption are reported for the various volumetric percentages of methanol in the fuel.
Of special significance are the different trends the emission levels establish when subjected to a dynamic engine test as compared to the results for the steady-state tests. Dynamic tests provide a realistic automobile simulation (accelerations and decelerations) while maintaining the laboratory testing accuracy
