In addition to using traditional accrual-based financial ratios, the research further combines cash-flow, balance sheet and related ratio information of income statement to cull high representative ratio variables which can apply to three sorts of prediction models: (1). the logit regression, (2). the backpropagation network and (3). the decision tree to construct respective financial precaution models for analysis and comparison. We expect to establish a more accurate financial precaution model for the enterprise manager and investors to consult and make effective measures and decisions, immediately. The sample sources are ten companies with a financial crisis and nineteen ones without a financial crisis between 1998 to 1999, which are selected by industry. The research has found that: (1) The performance of the prediction ability of cash-flow ratio precaution model is not worse than that of accrual-based ratio precaution model. Nonetheless, it doesn’t obviously improve the prediction ability to add cash-flow ratios to accrual-based ratios. (2) The prediction ability of the decision tree is much better than that of the backpropagation network or that of the logit regression.
