ABSTRACT Bankruptcy predictions have been one of the most interesting topics for accounting researchers. Most bankruptcy prediction models are developed by using financial ratios. However, signs of the changing financial position of a company may appear in the nonfinancial information earlier than we can identify the changes in the financial numbers. In recent years, analysis of qualitative information has become remarkably important, because frequent changes in accounting standards have made it difficult to compare financial numbers between years. In this study, we analyzed the sentences in financial reports in Japan and extracted key phrases/descriptions to predict bankruptcy. Our research revealed that if some particular expressions appear together with the word “dividend” or “retained earnings” in the same section of an annual report, they were effective in distinguishing between bankrupt companies and non-bankrupt companies.

This study tested an insignificant hypothesis of the capital structure of Miller and Modiglian in Nigeria. The aim was to investigate the validity of the irrelevant hypothesis. The Tobins Q market value measure was modeled as a function of debt-to-equity ratio, long-term debt to equity ratio, and retained earnings ratio. Twenty companies were selected on the basis of the information needed to conduct the survey and the availability of annual financial reports for the ten-year period 2008-2017. Cross-sectional data were obtained from the annual accounts and annual reports of the companies. Random effects were used in the analysis of fixed and random effects. The study showed that 77% volatility in market value can be predicted by the variation of independent variables in the regression model. The beta coefficient of the variables found that the debt-to-equity ratio, the long-term debt-to-equity ratio, the capital-to-earnings ratio is positively and significantly related to the market value of the selected listed companies. The study concludes that capital structure is relevant, unlike Miller's and Modiglian's irrelevant hypothesis. Therefore, it is recommended that managers ensure an adequate combination of capital and debt.

In Germany, the management report that comments on the company's business and financial position as well as its future prospects has long ago been introduced to the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB – German Commercial Law). Ever since the European Court of Justice [ECJ] has clarified that GmbH & Co. KGs are classified as companies with limited liabilities under the 4th and 7th Directive, annual reports have to be published by an even wider range of companies.

Research background: The problem of bankruptcy prediction models has been a current issue for decades, especially in the era of strong competition in markets and a constantly growing number of crises. If a company wants to prosper and compete successfully in a market environment, it should carry out a regular financial analysis of its activities, evaluate successes and failures, and use the results to make strategic decisions about the future development of the business. Purpose of the article: The main aim of the paper is to develop a model to reveal the un-healthy development of the enterprises in V4 countries, which is done by the multiple discriminant analysis. Methods: To conduct the research, we use the Amadeus database providing necessary financial and statistical data of almost 450,000 enterprises, covering the year 2015 and 2016, operating in the countries of the Visegrad group. Realizing the multiple discriminant analysis, the most significant predictor and the best discriminants of the corporate prosperity are identified, as well as the prediction models for both individual V4 countries and complex Visegrad model. Findings & Value added: The results of the research reveal that the prediction models use the combination of same financial ratios to predict the future financial development of a company. However, the most significant predictors are current assets to current liabilities ratio, net income to total assets ratio, ratio of non-current liabilities and current liabilities to total assets, cash and cash equivalents to total assets ratio and return of equity. All developed models have more than 80 % classification ability, which indicates that models are formed in accordance with the economic and financial situation of the V4 countries. The research results are important for companies themselves, but also for their business partners, suppliers and creditors to eliminate financial and other corporate risks related to the un-healthy or unfavorable financial situation of the company.

The present study is mainly devoted to the bankruptcy prediction models and their ability to assess a bankruptcy probability for oil drilling and exploration sector of Indian. The study puts an effort to determine the financial health of 12 selected companies from this sector of India for a period of 5 years. These companies serve the backbone of many other industries such as transport industry, manufacturing industry, automobile industry and so on of the Indian economy. The study has taken the reference of Altman’s Z-score model, where ratios such as working capital to total asset, retained earnings to total asset, earnings before interest and tax to total assets, market value of equity to book value of debt and sales to total assets have been taken. The discriminant analysis is conducted to validate the outcomes of Altman’s model to predict group membership and to forecast the overall industry condition. The study reveals that 75 per cent of the companies are in financially healthy zone. The results indicate that working capital/total assets can very well explain the Z-score. The research on financial health using Altman’s score is very limited in Indian context. Therefore, this study will add value to the existing body of literature for financial risk.

Corporate Real Estate (CRE) is not a new term in the field of property research. In fact, disciplines of CRE research are becoming increasingly widespread nowadays. Consequently, the interpretation of CRE term has undergone a paradigm shift as time goes by. This study explored the definitions of CRE in the eyes of academicians and researchers as well as the meanings of CRE based on Malaysian Accounting Standard Board (MASB). Literatures were chosen to illustrate the breadth of knowledge available regarding the CRE definition. The broad definition of Corporate Real Estate (CRE) term (since 1983 to 2016) has been presented in the form of table. The discussion on the definition of CRE involves four phases, where each phase consists of 10 years. This allowed the researcher to see whether there were any changes or improvements to the definition of CRE in the last 40 years. Then, the CRE meaning was further examined, but from a different perspective. Therefore, content analysis of annual reports prepared by 40 Malaysian non-property public listed companies was conducted in order to identify the CRE term that has been applied in their companies. It was found that the CRE term was not adopted to represent real estate of a particular company. This study managed to identify 29 different terms that represent corporate real estate assets, of which nine (9) are used to represent “building” while six (6) are used to represent “land”. However, to understand the CRE of a company, the terms used in the company annual report are insufficient. What is more important is to recognise the information related to the CRE asset value. The information is not only intended to illustrate the wealth of company CRE assets, but also to pinpoint anything that happens to CRE such as depreciation, disposal, etc.
