9% in 2005; and 89.1% in 2004. In 2007, the ErlingKlinger AG subsidiary accounted for 58.6% of the group's revenues. All told, the AG subsidiary's net margin was 21.2%, compared with 13.2% for the group. Exclusive of AG, the group's net margin was only 1.7%. Thus we can extrapolate that the core AG business is the main profit driver for the ErlingKlinger Group. The remaining subsidiaries contribute little in the way of profit to the company.

All told, the company had 35.75 more cash at the end of fiscal 2007 than it did at the end of fiscal 2006.
Overall, ErlingKlinger is a financially strong company. They are liquid and have demonstrated strong revenue growth. Profit growth has been even stronger still, reflecting the company's ability to control costs. The deterioration in liquidity in this past year is unlikely to have a long-term impact on the company, since it merely represents debt that will in all likelihood be retired. The company's gross margin has grown slightly, as have research and development expenses, but the net margin has grown more substantially. Returns on both assets and equity have grown steadily over the past four years as well. All told, there are no red flags with…

Returns on both assets and equity have grown steadily over the past four years as well. All told, there are no red flags with regards to ErlingKlinger's financial performance. Overall, however, it is worth noting that the AG group, the largest component of the company, provides the lion's share of the company's profits. The company's other endeavors are, in general, breaking even.
