LECTURE NOTES CORPORATE LIQUIDATION Business failures take many forms, common one is the inability to settle financial obligations as they become due. If the distressed company liquidates, it enters into bankruptcy procedures that are court administered because of legal ramifications. The process of corporate liquidation would include realization of assets and the distribution of the cash proceeds, first to the different creditors, then the balance to stockholders, if any. Generally, the cash provided would be less than the amount of all the liabilities so a payment deficiency to creditors would occur. These activities are done by a court-appointed trustee under accountability techniques. Actual liquidation, however, is preceded by a court-petition for bankruptcy, voluntary, if filed by the distressed company itself; involuntary if initiated by its creditors. The voluntary petition is submitted to the courts for resolution and a statement exhibiting the petitioner’s debts and assets (at fair values) accompanies the petition. This statement is commonly called the Statement of Affairs. The Statement of Affairs. It is prepared under a quitting-concern assumption and makes the following classifications as to assets and liabilities: Assets: (1) Pledged with Fully Secured Creditors – estimated cash proceeds is equal to or more than the amount of the secured claim. (2) Pledged with Partially Secured Creditors – estimated cash proceeds is less than the amount of the secured claim. (3) Free Asset – any asset of the entity that has not been used to secure the payment of any of the company’s liabilities and therefore any cash proceeds therefrom is available to unsecured creditors. Liabilities (1) Secured Liabilities – that which is covered by a collateral asset (a) Fully-secured – the realizable value of the pledged asset is at least equal to the amount of the claim. (b) Partially-secured liabilities – the realizable value of the pledged asset is less than the amount of the claim. Every partially secured claim has a secured portion, which is covered by the realizable value of the collateral and an unsecured portion, that which is not covered. (2) Unsecured Liabilities – that which is not covered by a pledged asset. (a) Unsecured liabilities with priority – those that are specified under the Bankruptcy Law that must be paid in full ahead of any other type of unsecured liabilities. (b) Unsecured liabilities without priority – is any other type of unsecured liability. Unrecorded assets with market values are included in the statement of affairs under free assets category and are called contingent assets; unrecorded administrative and liquidation expenses are categorized as unsecured

with priority, and are called contingent liabilities. The statement of affairs measures in estimated terms what payments are to be received by the different types of creditors in the event of liquidation. A full illustration of the Statement of Affairs is prepared for Problem 1. A shorter schedule that could also provide meaningful information is as follows: Estimated cash available(Cash on Hand plus Realizable values of all assets) Px Less prioritized claims: Fully secured creditors Px Secured portion of partially-secured Creditors x Unsecured creditors with priority x (x) (a) Net cash available to unsecured amount Px Less (b) Unsecured amounts: Unsecured portion of partially secured Creditors Px Unsecured creditors without priority x (x) Estimated deficiency to creditors P(x) The estimated recovery rate for unsecured Amounts: (a)/(b) = ER% Another method of estimating the amount of deficiency to unsecured creditors without priority, using a different set of data is as follows: Estimated loss on sale of non-cash assets Plus contingent liabilities Estimated gross loss Less: Estimated gain on sale of non-cash Assets PX Plus contingent assets X (x) Estimated net loss (y) Compare with carrying value of SHE

IF (x) and (y) are equal amounts, available cash covers exactly outstanding liabilities; no deficiency to creditors AND no amount is recoverable by stockholders. IF (x) is more than (y), the peso amount difference is an Estimated Deficiency to creditors IF (x) is less than (y), the peso amount difference is an estimated amount recoverable by Stockholders. Accounting and Reporting by the Trustee. Accounting would be by simple financial records and reports detailing accountability for the custody of assets and temporary assumption of liabilities. Assets and liabilities taken over are recorded in the trustee’s books at carrying values in the books of the distressed company upon the transfer. Since the stockholders’ equity items are not transferred, a reciprocal account, Estate Equity, is established in the books of the trustee to balance the accounts. In turn, a reciprocal Trustee Account is established in the books of the distressed company in representation of the net assets transferred out to the responsibility of the trustee.
