The crucial step in each analysis of companies' financial status is to define the criteria that would describe the financial difficulties of enterprises with high accuracy. In our analyses of financial distress of Slovak companies, three criteria are considered: (1) the equity, (2) the earnings after taxes and (3) the current ratio value. Our main goal is to investigate if it is possible to identify homogeneous clusters regarding the companies' financial health by using the financial longitudinal data. The k-means partitioning of companies is based on time trajectories of these criteria. The clustering is made by using statistical system R and the package "kml". The results show, that recognition of patterns in panel data set can be helpful in the process of financial distress analysis, but it is necessary to add an expert point of view as well.
