There are 27 companies that meet all the criterias. The result of this research were (1) current ratio and debt to total asset had no significant effect towards changes in profit, (2) return on asset had a positive significant effect towards changes in profit, (3) total asset turnover had a negative significant effect towards changes in profit. Current ratio has no significant effect due to gain of intangible assets, gain of unrealized foreign exchange and financial income. The reason for debt to total asset is because the increase of liability is in line with the increase of asset, especially fixed assets.
