METHODS OF ANALYSIS OF PROBABILITY OF BANKRUPTCY

 

Today it has not yet developed a single universal method for estimating the bankruptcy of organizations that can used both in international and in domestic practice, as evidenced by the numerous attempts of scientists to solve this problem by constructing new models. However, these methods are currently used for predicting bankruptcy, it is advisable to consider all bankruptcy evaluation methods.

Key words: bankruptcy, financial management, Altman Z-model.

Techniques of bankruptcy are a financial analysis of the target system, aimed at identifying the parameters of a crisis development of the company, generating threat of bankruptcy in the coming period.

Depending on the goals and methods of bankruptcy diagnostics is divided into two major systems:

1) a system of rapid diagnosis of bankruptcy;

2) a fundamental system of diagnostics of bankruptcy.

Express Bankruptcy diagnostics characterizes the system regularly assess the financial parameters of the crisis development of the company, carried out on the basis of the data of its financial accounting standard algorithms analysis. The main purpose of rapid diagnosis of bankruptcy is the early detection of signs of a crisis of development of the enterprise and the preliminary assessment of the extent of the crisis of his condition.

Financial management practices in the assessment of the scale of the crisis of the financial condition of the company are three fundamental characteristics:

• easy financial crisis;

• a deep financial crisis;

• financial disaster.

Rapid diagnosis of the bankruptcy system provides early warning signs of the crisis the company and allows us to take swift action to neutralize them. Its preventive effect is most noticeable on the stage lung enterprise financial crisis. At some level of the crisis of the financial condition of the company, it necessarily must be supplemented by a fundamental diagnostic system.

The fundamental characteristic of bankruptcy diagnostics system parameter estimates of the financial crisis the company's development, carried out on the basis of factor analysis and forecasting techniques.[1]

The main objectives of the fundamental diagnosis of bankruptcy are:

• deepening the results of the evaluation parameters of the crisis of financial development of the enterprise, obtained in the process of rapid diagnosis of bankruptcy;

• acknowledgment of receipt of a preliminary assessment of the extent of the crisis of the financial condition of the company;

• forecasting the development of individual factors, generating threat of bankruptcy, and their negative consequences;

• evaluation and prediction of the enterprise's ability to neutralize the threat of bankruptcy due to internal financial capacity.

Identification of the extent of the crisis of financial condition should include analysis and forecast of the fundamental diagnosis of bankruptcy and identify possible areas of the restoration of the financial balance of the enterprise.

A significant part in determining the probability of bankruptcy of the enterprise belongs to the financial analysis.

Analysis and evaluation of the balance sheet structure is based on the coefficient of performance coatings and equity ratio.

The most widely used model of Edward Altman. One of the simplest is the two-factor model based on the coverage ratio, which characterizes the ratio of liquidity and financial dependence that characterizes the level of financial stability.

Two-factor model is calculated using the formula (1.1):

 

Z = -0,3877 - 1,0736 * A + 0.579 * B, (1.1)

 

Where - A= cover ratio, calculated as the ratio of current assets / current liabilities.

B= Leverage ratio, calculated as the ratio of debt to total assets.

For businesses that have Z = 0, the probability of bankruptcy is 50%. If Z <0, then the default probability is less than 50% and then decreases with decreasing Z. If Z> O, then the default probability is greater than 50% and increases with Z.

However, this model does not provide a high accuracy of prediction of bankruptcy, because it takes into account the impact on the financial condition of the enterprise coverage ratio and leverage ratio and does not account for the influence of other important indicators (profitability, return of assets and business activity of the enterprise). This regard is large prediction error. In addition, about the weight values ​​of the coefficients and constants, appearing in the model, we only know what they found empirically. For example, two-factor model was developed based on an analysis E. Altman US Financial 19 state enterprises, bankruptcy five-factor model was built on the basis of their study data 66 companies, half of which went bankrupt in 1946-1965 years, Which also carries a process of extrapolation errors relevance to the 40-60-ies., on contemporary reality. In this regard, they do not correspond to the specifics of the modern economic environment and business organization in Kazakhstan, including different accounting system and tax law, and so on. D.

Next model Altman - five-factor - is also not without drawbacks in terms of applicability in Kazakhstan, however, on its basis in our country developed and used in practice computer model predicting the probability of bankruptcy.

Altman Modelis calculated using the formula (1.2):

 

                     Z = 1,2A + 1,4B + 3,3C + 0,6D + 1,0E(1.2)

 

Where - A = the share of working capital in assets.
B = Return on assets, calculated based on the retained earnings, i.e., the ratio of retained earnings to total assets.
C = Return on assets, calculated at book value (i.e., the ratio of earnings before income % of total assets.
D =Coverage ratio of the market value of equity, i.e. the ratio of market value of equity to current liabilities.
E =the return of all assets, i.e. the ratio of revenue from sales to total assets.


A modified version of the formula Altman's prediction is calculated using the formula (1.3):

 

Z = 0,717 * K1 + K2 + 0.847 * 3.107 * 0.42 * K3 K4 K5 + 0.995 * (1.3)

 

where - K1 = working capital / total assets;

K2 = Net income (loss) / total assets;

K3 = profit before tax / total assets;

K4 = equity / debt capital;

K5 = revenue from sales / total assets.

If the value of the index Z <1,23, then the probability of bankruptcy is very high. If Z> 1,23, the bankruptcy of the company is not threatened in the near future.[2]

However, such a correction is not without drawbacks, because in this case, is not considered a possible fluctuation of the stock price under the influence of external factors and investors' behavior, which can be regarded as an additional issue of shares of the issuer's approach to bankruptcy and abandon their purchase, thus reducing their market value.

Thus, differences in the specifics of the economic situation and in the organization of business between Kazakhstan and the developed market economies have an impact on the very set of financial indicators used in the models of foreign authors.

Forecast model of the probability of bankruptcy O.P. Zaytseva. With the help of correlation and multivariate factor analysis, it was found that the most important role in the change of the financial situation of industrial enterprises play Pictures, which are used in the mathematical model six factor  O.P. Zaytseva serving to count the following special rates:

        1. A - loss ratio enterprise, characterized by the net loss ratio to equity (III Balance section)

x1 = standard value x1 = 0;

2. B - rate payables and receivables ratio

x2 = standard value x2 = 1

3. C - the aspect ratio of short-term liabilities and the liquid assets, this ratio is the reciprocal of the absolute liquidity ratio

x3 = standard value x3= 7;

4. D - the loss-making sales of products, characterized by the ratio of net loss to the sales volumes of these products

x4 = standard value x4 = 0;

5.E - ratio of financial leverage - the ratio of debt capital (long-term and short-term liabilities) to its own sources of funding

x5 = standard value x5= 0.7;

6.F - asset utilization as the reciprocal asset turnover ratio - the ratio of the total amount of the company's assets (balance sheet total) of total revenues,

x6 = the standard value x6 = x6 past period.

If the company has no loss, then put 0.

These Pictures were the basis for the development of discriminate factor risk model of diagnosis of bankruptcy of industrial enterprises. Comprehensive bankruptcy rate is calculated using the formula (1.4):

                                                                  

K = 0.25 * 0.1 * x1 + x2 + x3 + 0.2 * 0.25 * 0.1 * x4 + x5 + x6 * 0.1 (1.4)

 

The weighting values ​​of the partial indicators for commercial organizations were identified by the expert, and the actual complex bankruptcy rate should be compared with a standard calculated on the basis of the recommended minimum values ​​of particular indices - the estimated value of K to be compared with the K standard.

If the actual ratio is more complex regulatory K (actual)> K (standard), the probability of bankruptcy is great, and if it is less the probability of bankruptcy is low.

One of the latest methods of forecasting bankruptcy using the method of rating models is A.V. Kolyshkin author models are different from other analytical models construction principles: A.V. Kolyshkin selected indicators, most commonly found in models of other researchers, and, on this basis, gave them weight. As a result, three statistical models were obtained bankruptcy prediction. In general, the models are calculated according to formulas (1.5), (1.6) and (1.7):

 

Model number = 1 + 0.47K1 0.14K2 0.39K3 + (1.5)

Where - K1 - working capital to assets;

K2 - the return on equity;

K3 - cash flow to debt;

 

Model number 2 = 0.61K4 0.39K5 + (1.6)

Where - K4 - coverage ratio;

K5 - return on assets;

 

Model number 3 = 0.49K4 0.12K2 + + + 0.19K6 0.19K3 (1.7)

Where - K4 - coverage ratio;

K5 - return on assets;

K6 - return on sales.

Critical exponents model A.V. Kolyshkin presented in the table (1.1)

The apparent advantage of rating models is the simplicity. However, methods for determining the weight values ​​of the indicators do not always provide the required accuracy. The analysis of these models based on the considered enterprise data showed that the smallest mistake is a model ¹3.

New methods of diagnostics of possible bankruptcy, designed for enterprises and, therefore, deprived of a plan by the authors of many disadvantages of foreign models, discussed above, have been developed R.S. Saifulin and G.G. Kadykova. However, in this case it was not possible to eliminate all the problems of forecasting bankruptcy.

Some of these indicators used, characterized by high positive or negative correlations or functional relationship to each other. This leads to unnecessary complication of these procedures without increasing the prediction accuracy.

Economists R.S. Saifulin and G.G. Kadykov complex index calculated prediction of the financial crisis:

A comprehensive index of financial crisis prediction is calculated using the formula (1.8):

 

R = 2 * R1 + R2 + 0.1 * 0.08 * 0.45 * K3 + K4 + K5 (1.8)

 

Where - K1 - a ratio of its own working capital;

K2 - the current ratio;

K3 - asset turnover ratio;

K4 - management ratio, calculated as the ratio of profit to revenue from the sale;

K5 - return on equity.

Socket data rates of minimum regulatory levels, R = 1 value. If the value of R <1, the financial condition of the organization - unsatisfactory, if R> 1 - quite satisfactory.[3]

Different models are used in the analysis of financial and economic activities of the company assess the risks of loss of solvency, financial stability and independence of the company for the past period. However, the organization its partners and competitors interested in the prospects of the financial condition of the company in the future. For specialists have developed a model of bankruptcy prediction, which allows to predict the crisis of the commercial organization even before its obvious symptoms. This makes it possible to use a variety of anti-crisis strategies for its prevention.

If the company is unable to pay its debts and finance its current core activities due to lack of funds, it is there KZT with bankruptcy proceedings. However, in most cases, dangerous trends can be predict and prevent.
