b) The company is not in a strong financial position as of December 31, 2011.

c) Its current assets cannot settle its current liabilities.  There is doubt if the company will be able to settle the long-term notes payable at the level of its current operations because the basis does not exist.  It will still require funds to finance operations, as most of the investments are made in long-term assets (especially land and building).
