According to literature reviews about the failing prediction models of corporate have been developed until now. Discriminant analysis and logistic regression model are dominated methods for the failing prediction model. This paper also used the methods to make the failing prediction model for Korean shipping companies. First, we choose the failure companies as sample to make the prediction model and matched the companies haven the good condition as a pair with failing companies. Second, we conducts t-test to find the meaningful variables that have significant differentiation between two groups. Third, we fitted the prediction model using discriminant analysis and logistic regression. The result of discriminant analysis, the fitting ratio records about 67%. However the regression model for failing prediction does not have statistical significance. This paper provides the failing prediction model by empirical test among financial variables in shipping industry. The results could give an important information for decision making to stockholders like mangers, investors and creditors of shipping sector.
