Some provinces, e. g., Ontario, require that this ratio be disclosed in prospectuses. Assets valued well in excess of a company's debt are normally required to generate the earnings necessary to meet interest requirements and repay indebtedness. At the same time, asset coverage shows the amount of assets(at book values) backing the debt securities. However, at best, asset values should be treated with extreme caution as the realizable value of assets in liquidation could be substantially less than their book values when the company is a going concern. 3, record 1, English, - asset%20coverage

The asset approach represents a “non-going-concern” approach to valuing a business, since it assumes that the assets will be liquidated in order to derive the value. If this is done, the business will cease to operate, and therefore no longer will be a “going concern. ” This approach is applied to operating businesses when there are no existing or potential earnings, and thus no value over and above the value of the assets that could be attributable to the earnings power of the business. 2, record 4, English, - non%2Dgoing%20concern
