net exposed assets. Definition. The difference between the exposed assets subtracted from exposed liabilities. These assets can refer to market values or book values. A business is long in currency if its net exposed assets are positive, i.e. the exposed assets are greater than their exposed liabilities. A business is short in currency if its net exposed assets are negative.
Assets vs. Liabilities. Accounting standards define an asset as something your company owns that can provide future economic benefits. Cash, inventory, accounts receivable, land, buildings, equipment -- these are all assets. Liabilities are your company's obligations -- either money that must be paid or services that must be performed. A successful company has more assets than liabilities, meaning it has the resources to fulfill its obligations. On the other hand, a company whose liabilities exceed its assets is probably in trouble.
