The Minister of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia Sri Mulyani Indrawati in an interview with Detik Finance . said that the decline in tobacco production improved compared to the period until February which previously decreased by around 22. The current spread of the corona virus has resulted in fluctuations in the economic situation of the community which ultimately affects the decline in tobacco production. As a result, people prefer to maintain their economy rather than having to buy cigarettes. According to Corporate Gudang Garam Secretary Heru Budiman in an interview on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the partial suspension of the mechanism for about 1 to 3 months. However, there were no employees who were adversely affected, such as termination of employment (PHK), laid off or a 50% pay cut . Even though the consolidated financial results as of March 31, 2020 have not shown a decline in sales revenue or profit, the lower public interest in cigarettes and the increase in excise taxes that began to rise in 2020 resulted in a decrease in the company's sales volume compared to 2019. He believes that the COVID-19 pandemic has made obstacles even more This is difficult because the purchasing power of certain people is getting depressed which in turn has an impact on the demand for the company's products.

This makes the company continue to make planning efforts to strengthen financial performance, with effective and efficient operational strategy strategies so that the company survives and continues to grow and avoids declining profits and even bankruptcy.

(Trianto, 2. An owner of a company's stock holds fast to current and future profits, to the balance of these profits and their comparison with other companies' profits. He will be interested in the financial condition of companies that are able to grow, pay dividends, and avoid Analysis of the company's performance can help in carrying out the company's own planning efforts. (Ramadan and Syarfan, 2. Analyzing financial statements is the same as assessing the company's performance, both internally and for comparison with other companies in the same industry. This is useful for the development of the company by seeing how effectively the company's operations have been running.

The level of liquidity is used to see the company's ability to meet its short-term debt using its current assets as collateral. Meanwhile, the level of solvency is looking at the company's ability to fulfill all its obligations with the guarantee of its assets. The level of activity, measuring the effectiveness of the use of assets by a company. The level of profitability is carried out to see the company's ability to manage its capital to generate (Maith, 2. Several previous studies have conducted many studies on financial statement analysis using financial ratios, including Maith . Febriyanto and Adi . Ramadhan and Syarfan . Trianto . According to previous research conducted by Trianto in 2017, the percentage of liquidity ratios in 2014 exceeded the industry average due to the company's good financial condition but in 2015-2016 it was below the industry average. Based on the solvency ratio, the percentages are successively above the industry average in the 2014-2016 period which can be concluded that their financial condition is deteriorating. In terms of profitability ratios, in 2014 the results of the calculation of return on investment were above the industry average, while the company's financial condition was considered less good due to the decline in profits in 2015 and 2016 even though the return on equity was above the industry average. The results of the calculation of return on equity in the period 2014 to 2016 are above the industry However, in 2016 there was a decrease in the company's profits so that although the return on equity results showed that it was above the industry average, the company's performance was considered less good. According to previous research conducted by Ramadhan and Syarfan in 2016, thus PT. Ricky Kurniawan Kertapersada has a good financial performance condition in the current ratio calculation in 2012 to 2014 and has a good financial performance condition in 20122014 in the quick ratio calculation based on the company's ability to pay off its current debt. In 2012 to 2014 the company's financial performance in calculating the cash ratio was considered unfavorable due to an increase in inventory. It can be concluded from the results of the calculation of the debt to asset ratio in the solvency ratio analysis that it is considered good in the 2012-2014 period, meanwhile it can be seen that the calculation results are not good in the long term. debt to equity ratio and debt to equity ratio occurred in 2012-2014. Thus it can be seen that in 2012-2014 PT. Ricky Kurniawan Kertapersada has the ability to earn profits through asset turnover, but is unable to generate stable profits through own In 2013 the condition of the company's financial performance in the calculation of the net profit margin was in the good category with a level of 42%.

These results show that the company has been quite productive for three years. According to previous research conducted by Febriyanto and Adi in 2016, the liquidity ratio at PT Gudang Garam Tbk from 2011 to 2014 was still liquid despite many The solvency ratio of PT Gudang Garam Tbk from 2011 to 2014 shows an increase from year to year which can still be considered good because the company is still solvable .

According to previous research conducted by Maith in 2013, the company's financial performance was concluded to be in the healthy category ( liquid ) based on the results of the calculation of the increased liquidity ratio. The company's capital which cannot cover the company's debts causes the results of the calculation of the solvency ratio to show that the company's condition is in the unhealthy category ( insolvable ). The increase that continues to occur every year in the calculation of the activity ratio shows the company's performance is in good condition. Meanwhile, the results of the increasing profitability ratio every year show a healthy state of company performance. LITERATURE REVIEW Financial reports according to Hery . 5, p. are basically the result of an accounting process that can be used as a tool to communicate financial data or company activities to interested parties.

There are several ratios included in the solvency ratio, namely the Debt to Assets Ratio and the Debt to Equity Ratio.
