Data duration of this paper consists of five years from 2007-2011. Variables used in this paper are assets turnover ratio, return on assets, current liabilities to total assets, long tern debts to total assets and debt to equity ratio. Results are derived by applying multiple regression models. The results of this model show that there is a significant positive impact of long term debts on firm’s performance and significant negative impact of short term debts on firm’s performance. There is a negative relationship of firm’s leverage on firm’s performance. As firm’s leverage increases its performance decreases. There is a negative relationship between them. Results show that firms using high amount of short term debts are facing negative trend in performance. So, results indicate that firms must try to use long term debts to meet their daily needs.
