Brainy Brands Co (OTCPK:TBBC) Quick Ratio Explanation
The quick ratio is more conservative than the Current Ratio because it excludes inventories from current assets. The ratio derives its name presumably from the fact that assets such as cash and marketable securities are quick sources of cash. Inventories generally take time to be converted into cash, and if they have to be sold quickly, the company may have to accept a lower price than book value of these inventories. As a result, they are justifiably excluded from assets that are ready sources of immediate cash.
In general, low or decreasing quick ratios generally suggest that a company is over-leveraged, struggling to maintain or grow sales, paying bills too quickly or collecting receivables too slowly. On the other hand, a high or increasing quick ratio generally indicates that a company is experiencing solid top-line growth, quickly converting receivables into cash, and easily able to cover its financial obligations. Such companies often have faster inventory turnover and cash conversion cycles.
The higher the quick ratio, the better the company's liquidity position.

Brainy Brands Co (Brainy Brands Co) Business Description
Brainy Brands Company Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 21, 2007 and began activity in 2008.Previously, it was known as Enter Corp. The proposed business plan of the Company is to use innovative agricultural technology and know-how to grow vegetables and other crops, initially in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, and later in other selected locations. The Company is in the development stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. It intends to locate a local, joint venture partner to co-invest with them in its pilot project on a 30-hectare plot of land. If it does not locate a local, joint venture partner but do raise funds, it will execute the Pilot Project on its own. It initially intended to conduct a pilot project at a suitable location, which it has found in the town of Natakhtari in Georgia. Its President, Mr. Ayalon, has the experience of setting up farming operations in foreign countries and is capable of hiring local staff and managing them for its farming operations. Since the growing season starts in March in most regions of Georgia, it has missed the 2010 growing season. Hence, 2010 will be dedicated to building its infrastructure and locating the financing it require for its Pilot Project. It intends to advertise in local newspapers in Georgia in order to attract a possible local, joint venture partner. It intends to begin its Pilot Project operation in March 2011. It intends to bring Western know-how and precision farming techniques to its Georgian operations. Precision farming is based on proper soil analysis, proper seed choice, and the use of precise amounts of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides. The use of drip irrigation plays an important role in precision farming by enabling the delivery of exact amounts of water and fertilizer. Additionally, the proper timing of planting, harvesting, fertilizer and pest control are all part of what is known as "precision farming techniques". Precision farming helps improve crop yields, because it is a scientific method that treats each crop individually. The Pilot Project's main focus is to prove its ability to produce vegetables for the local market. It hopes to locate a distributor that will supply its produce to local retailers and local wholesalers who will purchase its produce.
