Предпочтения кредиторов в ходе банкротства: формальное банкротство или реструктуризация (пример компании «Трансаэро»)
This article is a case study of the bankruptcy of the Russian passenger aviation company “Transaero” that took place in 2015 aimed to reveal the preferences of creditors of financially distressed companies between formal bankruptcy and restructuring. We tested the hypothesis that the creditors of Transaero have chosen its bankruptcy because its liquidation value was significantly higher than its going concern value. Firstly we derived the equations of the market value of civil airplanes by plane type depending on their age based on the information gathered from the announcements of the plane sales. At the next step we calculated the market value of Transaero’s fleet. According to our estimate the liquation of the company will lead to the 75% debt recovery for its debt holders. Then we modelled the hypothetic restructuring that included asset sales and return of a number of planes in financial lease to the leasing companies, and in total we got rid of 35 planes. This restricting could bring the debt down by 22% but under no future cash flow scenario the company would be able to serve its debt. The enterprise value of Transaero as a going concern is less than its liquidation value and the value of its equity is negative. The future cash flow to the firm is less than annuity payments needed to serve and to pay out debt. In case of restructuring the losses of creditors would have been in the range of 60% to 78%. Thus, we concluded that the choice of the creditors was rational.

The author analyses artickes 195, 196 and 197 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code, devoted to illegal actions that accompany a debtor's bankruptcy, and cocludes that these articles are not sufficient to combat all fraudulent actions in this sphere. The application of articles 159, 160 and 303 of the Criminal Code also doesn't solve the existing problems. That is why the author proposes to penalize actions on the application of knowingly non-existing claims in bankruptcy.

The implementation of the uniform approach to the legal regulation of transnational bankruptcies is problematic in several ways, such as differences in national bankruptcy legislayion and lack of recognition of of other state`s authorities acts.

The process of the IPO of banks in Russia is its infancy but the rapid growth is forecasted. This context raises the issue of the factors determining the floated banks stock value. The results of the research on 2007-2009 Russian data showed that the bank stock price is dependent on the macroeconomic indicators (such as the oil prices and the Dow Jones index volatility) and the some banking system indicators(the interbank interest rate, the bank’s ROA, and ROE). However, the results adjusted to the global financial crisis effect proved to exclude the ROE factor and showed the dependence of the stocks prices of the floated banks from the historic trend of the American economy. The models developed are of the practical application and can be used by the institutional as well as the private investors.
The author touches upon questions of correspondence between the Civil Code of the Russian Federation rules in their amended edition and the Federal Law of 26 October 2002 # 127-FZ “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)”.

The paper examines the structure, governance, and balance sheets of state-controlled banks in Russia, which accounted for over 55 percent of the total assets in the country's banking system in early 2012. The author offers a credible estimate of the size of the country's state banking sector by including banks that are indirectly owned by public organizations. Contrary to some predictions based on the theoretical literature on economic transition, he explains the relatively high profitability and efficiency of Russian state-controlled banks by pointing to their competitive position in such functions as acquisition and disposal of assets on behalf of the government. Also suggested in the paper is a different way of looking at market concentration in Russia (by consolidating the market shares of core state-controlled banks), which produces a picture of a more concentrated market than officially reported. Lastly, one of the author's interesting conclusions is that China provides a better benchmark than the formerly centrally planned economies of Central and Eastern Europe by which to assess the viability of state ownership of banks in Russia and to evaluate the country's banking sector.
