Japanese term or phrase: 破綻となる (in this context)
From an agreement on the terms of use of financial analysis information, which is provided by "Company A" to "Users".

(１)Servicesで提供される分析結果は、あくまでも公表された財務諸表から読み取れる傾向であり、金融機関動向・経済情勢・政治的要因・その他により、結果が一定レベルに達しない場合でも、必ずしも**破綻となる**わけではありません。又、公表時点での財務諸表上は健全と判断しても、信用不安等の風説の流布により**破綻となる**場合があります。従って本分析結果の取扱・運用・判断等については、Users各位が慎重に且つ責任をもって対処するものとします。

I am only finding "bankrupt" for 破綻. It doesn't seem like the right translation for this context. I don't think I am understanding the meaning in this paragraph.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

financial distress
Explanation:
Financial distress/financial failure

The above expression, either of them, would fit well into your context.

As there's no fixed terminology for 「破綻」 , you have tp pick up one which best fits into a particular context out of many such as bankruptcy, bust, colllapse, crash, distress, downfall, failure, trouble, etc.

The above translation is the one that is widely used in the business world today in the broad sense of the term 「破綻」.

Added: "Bankruptcy" is the term I would refrain from using in the given context, for it interprets 「破綻」 too narrowly and addresses to a state where some legal definition of the term is naturally required.

bankruptcy


Explanation:
Since it is related to public released statements, bankruptcy/bankruptcy indicator/lead to bankruptcy etc. are all applicable here.

Check your other KudoZ question to see how I read the paragraph, conejo :)

It might turn out to be wrong anyway..
