I know some of you would now come up saying that 'deficitario' is not quite the same thing as 'deficiente'...but I do reckon that, depending on context, it can equally be applied.

Depends whether it is meant 'deficient' in, for instance, as regards to output, profits,profitability, or it actually means, for instance, it has a many or big debts to be paid back.
