Altman Z″
- Working capital / Total assets 0.464 × 6.56 = +3.04
- Retained earnings / Total assets 0.000 × 3.26 = +0.00

- Book equity / Total liabilities 0.989 × 1.05 = +1.04
Bands: > 2.6 safe · 1.1–2.6 grey · < 1.1 distress. Z″ is a public-formula baseline, not a substitute for adverse-data signals (CCJs, charges, gazette notices) — those land in a later pass.
