Some annual reports make interesting, if bizarre, reading.
All of us pay close attention to that figure because it measures our progress toward self sufficiency. I am gratified that we were able to increase the ratio from .54 in FY 1983 to .56 in FY 1984. Our sights are set even higher, and we expect to bring the ratio up to .58 in FY 1985, and to .60 or better in FY 1986. Needless to say, this is not a private company. Lose that much in any private company and you don't get calm statements in glossy annual reports.
