Net assets is an indicator, reflecting the real value of the property of an enterprise. It is calculated annually as the difference between assets on the balance sheet of the enterprise and its debt obligations. The indicator of net assets is considered negative (insufficiency of property), if company’s debt exceeds the value of its property.
