We believe that when a company is viewed as being on the cusp between two liquidity descriptors and has higher-than-average cash plus inventory/unadjusted debt compared with similarly constituted peers, that helps support the better liquidity assessment. However, in the case of a nonresidential developer, given that its inventory is typically less liquid (and the greater potential for inventory to suffer value erosion in a downturn), we do not consider this measure as pertinent.Beauty Kadan Co., Ltd.

While we only include contractual acquisitions when calculating A/B and A-B, when evaluating qualitative factors, we focus more on a company's track record and our expectation for financial management. In this respect, the quantitative and qualitative factors under the liquidity criteria are meant to complement each other and produce a more comprehensive view of a company's future liquidity position.Xinyuan Real Estate Co Ltd American Depositary Shares Assigned Short-Term Ba2 & Long-Term Ba1 Credit Rating.

Likewise, we do not consider factoring programs under sources of liquidity. Unlike asset-based lending (ABL) facilities, factoring is more of a sales transaction and not a loan. In addition, these transactions tend to be very short term. For this reason, we would not consider them a committed source of future liquidity over a 12-month period.DEFIANCE STATE BANK Assigned Short-Term B3 & Long-Term B2 Credit Rating.

For exceptional and strong liquidity assessments, we characterize standing in the credit markets as generally high, and for adequate liquidity, we view standing in the credit markets as satisfactory. We distinguish between these descriptors based on analytical judgment and mainly consider the diversity of funding sources available to an entity.Ball Corporation Assigned Short-Term B2 & Long-Term B2 Credit Rating.

If, for example, a facility matured in 18 months, we could include the borrowing availability as a source of liquidity in year one, but exclude the amount in year two under the exceptional and strong descriptors (as well as include any drawn portions as debt maturities under uses of liquidity). This is because we do not assume an extension of bank lines--regardless of the company's perceived credit strength or issuer credit rating. For instance, whether the issuer credit rating on the company is speculative grade or investment grade, we do not assume bank lines will be extended beyond the current stated maturity.Tiptree Financial Inc.

If we believe a company would use cash trapped at a foreign subsidiary to meet debt maturities or other liquidity uses at that foreign subsidiary, we would include this cash as a source of liquidity up to the amount of the corresponding use. We generally haircut the cash to be included under sources when a material proportion of a group's cash is held in a different part of the structure than where the debt is located, and we believe the cash may not be fully fungible within the group.Adept Technology, Inc.

We do not include potential future debt issuances as a source of liquidity because of the uncertainty of a company's ability to access debt markets in times of financial stress, even for investment-grade issuers. For instance, in the case of a proposed financing, with the intended use of proceeds to repay existing debt, we will assess a company's liquidity excluding the proposed financing until it's obtained or fully underwritten.Fulcrum Therapeutics Inc Assigned Short-Term Ba2 & Long-Term Ba3 Credit Rating.

In addition, a speculative-grade company's access to the credit markets during times of stress, such as the financial crisis, is often a function of the capital market's appetite for risk. Accordingly, it would be rare that we would characterize a speculative-grade company as having a generally high standing in the credit markets, and even low-investment-grade companies may not have access to a diversity of funding sources required for this assessment.Aerosun Corporation Assigned Short-Term B2 & Long-Term Ba3 Credit Rating.
