To somewhat oversimplify:

1) You do not have the money to meet your financial obligations.

2) Your total assets are less than your total liabilities.

3) You have no immediate hope of being able to rectify that situation.

And as I said, that is a bit of an oversimplification. Oh, and I guess that's three situations, isn't it?
