The total debt structure of Lucent Technologies significantly decreased between 2003 and 2004. Lucent Technologies current liability decreased from 25.6% in 2003 to 24.3% in 2004, but their debt could be thought to be more as long term because these debts rose from 23% of total liabilities to 26.4% a year later.

After evaluating Lucent Technologies balance sheet, it’s more than likely that the creditors and investors would more than likely be concerned that even though the cash and cash equivalents are decreasing, the assets are accelerating steadily.
