Positive ROE when NI and Equity are negative???

This makes no sense to me - I was running an ROE on a company who posted a net loss and has negative shareholder's deficit. Obviously neither of these things are good, but the ROE comes up positive because the two negatives cancel out - how is this explained from a financial standpoint?
