Net assets of companies in liquidation

Analysis of net assets makes it possible to assess financial condition of a company, its solvency level and risk of bankruptcy in case of insufficient property. In this case, the authorized capital should be reduced to the size of net assets. If, at the same time, the authorized capital turns out to be less than that established by the law, then this will be a reason for liquidation of the enterprise. However, this rule does not always work. There can be many other reasons.

For this ranking Information agency Credinform selected the largest companies in terms of annual revenue for the last reporting periods available in the state statistics bodies and the Federal Tax Service (2018 - 2020) using Globas. As of 01.12.2021 a decision was made on the forthcoming striking-off of inactive legal entities from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in respect of these companies (TOP 10). In total, there are over 30 thousand of such companies, but only 59 of them had revenue in 2020. Unsatisfactory Globas Solvency Index is assigned to companies with forthcoming striking-off. The selected companies were further ranked by net assets value (Table 1).

Net assets value is an indicator reflecting the real value of the company's property, calculated annually as the difference between assets on the balance sheet and debt obligations.

Indicator of net assets is negative (insufficient property) if the company's debt exceeds the value of its property. There are no recommended values for this indicator.

It is necessary to pay attention to the entire set of indicators and financial ratios to get the most complete and fair presentation of enterprise's financial condition.
