and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Plug Power's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Plug Power is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.

Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- Debt is not covered by short term assets, assets are 0.9x debt.
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
