3) Asset Quality Index (AQI)

AQI = [(Total Assets - Current Assetst - PP&Et) / Total Assetst] / [(Total Assets - Current Assetst-1 - PP&Et-1) / Total Assetst-1]

4) Sales Growth Index (SGI)

DEPI = (Depreciationt-1/ (PP&Et-1 + Depreciationt-1)) / (Depreciationt / (PP&Et + Depreciationt))

6) Sales General and Administrative Expenses Index (SGAI)
