SEOUL, April 9 (Yonhap) -- The number of companies facing possible delisting from the South Korean stock market due to poor financial health dropped slightly this year, the country's main bourse operator said Thursday.
According to the Korea Exchange (KRX), 54 firms among those that close their books in December have received sub-standard opinions, including disclaimer opinions, on their financial statements.
This compares with 57 firms last year that were on the verge of delisting for the same reason, the KRX said.
A disclaimer of opinion is issued when an auditor has not been able to obtain appropriate audit evidence and is unable to express an opinion on the company's financial statements.
Of the total, 12 firms are listed on the main Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) bourse while the remaining companies are traded on the tech-focused KOSDAQ market, according to the KRX.
