It includes all assets that will change its composition within a year. In this group most liquid one is cash in hand. Then will come short term investments. It can be converted into cash within a very short period. Next will be accounts receivable. It will be net figure after deducting non collectible portion. then you can consider all prepaid expenses. These expenses are related with next period and paid in advance. Finally you can consider inventory. It can be sold and converted into cash. But the process is not so easy. If it is sold then production can get disbursed. So practically it is difficult to sale.
