[et al.]. -- One of the important steps in financial distress analyses is to correctly and reasonably mark a company whether is, or it is not in financial distress risk. There are many definitions used in the past. Most of them are based on time static point of view and thus use only one year data.

In our analysis we consider three criteria to define this situation: the equity, the earnings after taxes and the current ratio value.
