CHAPTER 2 – REVIEW ON
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
LECTURE NOTES
Page 2 of 12
The balance sheet adheres to the following accounting equation, where assets on one side, and
liabilities plus shareholders' equity on the other, balance out:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders’ Equity
This formula is intuitive: a company has to pay for all the things it owns (assets) by either borrowing
money (taking on liabilities) or taking it from investors (issuing shareholders' equity).
The balance sheet is a snapshot representing the state of a company's finances at a moment in
time. By itself, it cannot give a sense of the trends that are playing out over a longer period. For this reason,
the balance sheet should be compared with those of previous periods. It should also be compared with
those of other businesses in the same industry since different industries have unique approaches to
financing.
A number of ratios can be derived from the balance sheet, helping investors get a sense of how
healthy a company is. These include the debt-to-equity ratio and the acid-test ratio, along with many
others. The income statement and statement of cash flows also provide valuable context for assessing a
company's finances, as do any notes or addenda in an earnings report that might refer back to
the balance sheet.
ASSETS
Within the assets segment, accounts are listed from top to bottom in order of their liquidity – that
is, the ease with which they can be converted into cash. They are divided into current assets, which can
be converted to cash in one year or less; and non-current or long-term assets, which cannot.
LIABILITIES
Liabilities are the money that a company owes to outside parties, from bills it has to pay to suppliers
to interest on bonds it has issued to creditors to rent, utilities and salaries. Current liabilities are those that
are due within one year and are listed in order of their due date. Long-term liabilities are due at any point
after one year.
Some liabilities are considered off the balance sheet, meaning that they will not appear on the
balance sheet.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Shareholders' equity is the money attributable to a business' owners, meaning its shareholders. It is
also known as "net assets," since it is equivalent to the total assets of a company minus its liabilities, that is,
the debt it owes to non-shareholders.
Some companies issue preferred stock, which will be listed separately from common stock under
shareholders' equity. Common Stock and Preferred Stock are assigned an arbitrary par value that has no
bearing on the market value of the shares. The "common stock" and "preferred stock" accounts are
calculated by multiplying the par value by the number of shares issued.
Additional paid-in capital or capital surplus represents the amount shareholders have invested in
excess of the "common stock" or "preferred stock" accounts, which are based on par value rather than
market price. Shareholders' equity is not directly related to a company's market capitalization: the latter
is based on the current price of a stock, while paid-in capital is the sum of the equity that has been
purchased at any price.
Retained earnings are the net earnings a company either reinvests in the business or use to pay
off debt; the rest is distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.
Treasury stock is the stock a company has repurchased. It can be sold at a later date to raise
cash or reserved to repel a hostile takeover.
The income statement focuses on four key items—revenue, expenses, gains, and losses. It
does not differentiate between cash and non-cash receipts (sales in cash versus sales on credit) or the
cash versus non-cash payments/disbursements (purchases in cash versus purchases on credit). It starts
with the details of sales, and then works down to compute the net income and eventually the earnings
per share (EPS). Essentially, it gives an account of how the net revenue realized by the company gets
transformed into net earnings (profit or loss).

REVENUES AND GAINS
The following are covered in the income statement, though its format may vary depending
upon the local regulatory requirements, the diversified scope of the business and the associated
operating activities:
Operating Revenue
Revenue realized through primary activities is often referred to as operating revenue. For a company
manufacturing a product, or for a wholesaler, distributor or retailer involved in the business of selling that
product, the revenue from primary activities refers to revenue achieved from the sale of the product.
Similarly, for a company (or its franchisees) in the business of offering services, revenue from primary
activities refers to the revenue or fees earned in exchange of offering those services.
Non-Operating Revenue
Revenues realized through secondary, non-core business activities are often referred to as non-
operating recurring revenues. These revenues are sourced from the earnings which are outside of the
purchase and sale of goods and services and may include income from interest earned on business
capital lying in the bank, rental income from business property, income from strategic partnerships like
royalty payment receipts or income from an advertisement display placed on business property.
Gains
Also called other income, gains indicate the net money made from other activities, like the sale of
long-term assets. These include the net income realized from one-time non-business activities, like a
company selling its old transportation van, unused land, or a subsidiary company.
Revenue should not be confused with receipts. Revenue is usually accounted for in the period when
sales are made or services are delivered. Receipts are the cash received and are accounted for when
the money is actually received. For instance, a customer may take goods/services from a company on
28 September, which will lead to the revenue being accounted for in the month of September. Owing to
his good reputation, the customer may be given a 30-day payment window. It will give him time till 28
October to make the payment, which is when the receipts are accounted for.
Losses as Expenses
All expenses that go towards a loss-making sale of long-term assets, one-time or any other unusual
costs, or expenses towards lawsuits.
While primary revenue and expenses offer insights into how well the company’s core business is
performing, the secondary revenue and expenses account for the company’s involvement and its
expertise in managing the ad-hoc, non-core activities. Compared to the income from the sale of
manufactured goods, a substantially high-interest income from money lying in the bank indicates that
the business may not be utilizing the available cash to its full potential by expanding the production
capacity, or it is facing challenges in increasing its market share amid competition. Recurring rental
income gained by hosting billboards at the company factory situated along a highway indicates that
the management is capitalizing upon the available resources and assets for additional profitability.

INCOME STATEMENT STRUCTURE
Mathematically, the Net Income is calculated based on the following:
Net Income = (Revenue + Gains) – (Expenses + Losses)
However, real-world companies often operate on a global scale, have diversified business
segments offering a mix of products and services, and frequently get involved in mergers, acquisitions,
and strategic partnerships. Such wide array of operations, diversified set of expenses, various business
activities, and the need for reporting in a standard format as per regulatory compliance leads to multiple
and complex accounting entries in the income statement.
Listed companies follow the Multiple-Step Income Statement which segregates the
operating revenues, operating expenses, and gains from the non-operating revenues, non-operating
expenses, and losses, and offer many more details through the income statement. Essentially, the different
measures of profitability in a multiple-step income statement are reported at four different levels in a
business' operations – gross, operating, pre-tax and after-tax.
The statement of shareholders' equity highlights the business activities that contribute to
whether the value of shareholders' equity goes up or down.
The statement of shareholders' equity typically includes the following components:
• Common stock. This is a type of stock, or ownership stake in a company, that comes with voting
rights on corporate decisions. Common stockholders are lower down on the list of priorities when
it comes to paying equity holders. If a company needs to liquidate, holders of common stock will
get paid after preferred stockholders and bondholders. Like preferred stock, common stock is
typically listed on the statement of shareholders' equity at par value.
• Preferred stock. This is a special type of stock, or ownership stake in a company, that offers holders
a higher claim on a company's earnings and assets than those who own the company's common
stock. Preferred stockholders will typically be entitled to dividends before holders of common stock
can receive theirs. Preferred stock is usually listed on the statement of shareholders' equity at par
value, or face value, which is the amount at which it is issued or redeemable. Holders of preferred
stock do not have voting rights in the issuing company.

• Additional paid-in capital. Also known as contributed capital, additional paid-in capital is the
excess amount investors pay over the par value of a company's stock.
• Treasury stock. Treasury stock is stock that the issuing company repurchases. A company might
repurchase its own stock in an attempt to avoid a hostile takeover or boost its stock price.
Shareholders' equity is reduced by the amount of money spent to repurchase the shares in
question.
• Retained earnings. Retained earnings are the total earnings a company has brought in that have
not yet been distributed to shareholders. This figure is calculated by subtracting the amount paid
out in shareholder dividends from the company's total earnings since inception. A company that's
been profitable for quite some time will probably show a large amount of retained earnings.
The statement of shareholders' equity enables shareholders to see how their investments are faring.
It's also a useful tool for companies in helping them make decisions about future issuances of stock shares.

A company's financial statements offer investors and analysts a portrait of all the transactions
that go through the business, where every transaction contributes to its success. The cash flow statement
is believed to be the most intuitive of all the financial statements because it follows the cash made by the
business in three main ways—through operations, investment, and financing. The sum of these three
segments is called net cash flow.
There are two different branches of accounting—accrual and cash. Most public companies
use accrual accounting, which means the income statement is not the same as the company's cash
position. The cash flow statement, though, is focused on cash accounting.
Profitable companies can fail to adequately manage cash flow, which is why the cash flow
statement is a critical tool for companies, analysts, and investors. The cash flow statement is broken down
into three different business activities: operations, investing, and financing.
