INTEGRATED REVIEW II: ADVANCED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING

MODULE 2: CORPORATE LIQUIDATION

NOTES:

1. The primary focus of the corporate liquidation is that the corporation’s financial condition is prepared in its liquidating
concern rather than the usual going concern assumption in accounting. This is achieved by preparing statement of affairs

2. In the preparation of statement of affairs, the assets and liabilities and liabilities are valued at its estimated realizable
values, while historical amounts are also included for reference purposes.

3. The assets and liabilities are also classified as follows:

a. assets pledged to fully secured creditors – these assets whose estimated realizable values greater than or equal to
liabilities which they have been pledged or mortgaged as collateral

b. assets pledged to partially secured creditors – these assets whose estimated realizable values less than the liabilities
which they have been pledged or mortgaged as collateral

c. free assets – these are assets not pledged or mortgaged to any specific liability and therefore available for distribution

d. fully secured liabilities – these liabilities are covered by pledge or mortgage of specific assets of estimated realizable
values greater than or equal to such liabilities.

e. partially secured liabilities – these liabilities are covered by pledge or mortgage of specific assets of estimated
realizable values less than such liabilities

f. unsecured liabilities with priority – these are liabilities that must be paid first before any class of liability by virtue of law
(ex. Salaries and wages and taxes)

g. unsecured without priority – these liabilities have legal priority nor security to specific assets and therefore last order of
priority

4. The concern of unsecured creditors without priority is the estimated percentage of recovery. It is determined using the
following formula:

Net Free Assets

_______________

Total unsecured creditors without priority
