The importance of forecasting financial crisis, against private real estate companies, has been emphasized. While traditional studies utilized financial ratios to construct financial distress alerting models, this study intends to construct an alternative model with financial factors as well as an additional factor of corporate governance, which significantly affects the extent of financial distress. By combining the information of financial and corporate factors, this study explores a corporate governance variable which may improve the weaknesses of traditional alerting models. The study reveals that logistic model could learn from the data of bankrupt corporations and a matched group of survivor firms and hence foresees the happening of financial distress.
