Ratio Analysis
This would be important to both parties for the same reason as above. Especially the "current ratio" (current assets / current liabilities) and the "working capital" ratio (current assets - current liabilities).

This would be of most importance to the company itself. They would want to know if the project was worth the total amount they would be paying on the bonds or the loan
