Santhosh, the calculation is typically done using quarterly income statements, and it is calculated by taking the A/R and dividing by sales and multiplying by 91. As a general rule, DSO is only important if you are considering either the need for raising new capital for expandining, or you are concerned about the credit-worthiness of the customer base (or the efficiency of your collections). In my opinion, the whole issue is overblown, and not worth 1% of the time its given by the "analysts". An issue of much greater importance is inventory (and I'm not suggesting that NETA has an inventory problem).

Regards,

Paul
