Section 2.1
Statement of Financial Position
Analysis
When analyzing a SFP, the financial manager should
be aware of three concerns:
1. Liquidity
2. Debt versus equity
3. Value versus cost
2-6
Section 2.1
Liquidity
Refers to the ease and speed with which
assets can be converted to cash.
• Current assets are more liquid than long-term assets.
• The more liquid a firm’s assets, the less likely it will
experience problems meeting short-term
obligations.
• Liquid assets frequently have lower rates of return
than long-term assets.
2-7
Section 2.1
Debt Versus Equity
• Liabilities are obligations of the firm that require a
payout of cash within a stipulated time period.
• Generally, when a firm borrows it gives the
bondholders first claim on the firm’s cash flow.
• Shareholders’ equity is the residual difference
between assets and liabilities.
2-8
Section 2.1
Value Versus Cost
• In 2011, publicly traded firms in Canada adopted
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
• The accounting value of a firm’s assets is frequently
referred to as the carrying value or book value.
• Market value is a completely different concept. It is
the price at which willing buyers and sellers trade
the assets.
• Whenever we speak of the value of the firm, we will
normally mean its market value.

Section 2.2
Statement of Comprehensive
Analysis
• There are three things to keep in mind when
analyzing the statement of comprehensive
income:
1. The accounting standards used – i.e.
International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS)
2. Non-Cash Items
3. Time and Costs
2-15
Section 2.2
International Financial Reporting
Standards
1. IFRS have been developed to provide information
for a broad audience not necessarily concerned
with cash flow.
• The accrual basis of accounting is used.
– Revenues are recognized when earned and the earnings
process is complete even though cash flows may not
have been received.
– Expenses incurred to earn the revenue are recognized at
the same time the related revenue is reported even
though no cash may have been paid.
2-16
Section 2.2
Non-Cash Items
2-17
Section 2.2
Time and Costs
• In the short term:
– certain costs related to equipment, resources, and
commitments of the firm are fixed;
– other costs are variable based on production levels such
as inputs for labour and raw materials.
• In the long run, all costs are variable.
• Financial accountants do not distinguish between
variable costs and fixed costs.
– Instead, accounting distinguishes product costs
(production costs) from period costs (time period costs).

Section 2.3
Financial Cash Flow
• In finance, the most important item that can be
extracted from financial statements is the actual
cash flow of the firm.
• In finance, the value of the firm depends on its
ability to generate financial cash flow.
• Just as the value of firm’s assets is always equal to
the value of liabilities plus equity, the cash received
from the firm’s assets must equal the cash flows to
the firm’s bondholders (creditors) and shareholders:
CF(A) = CF(B) + CF(S)

Financial Cash Flow
Important observations:
• Cash flow from operations measures cash generated
before investment in capital requirements and net
working capital.
• Net income is based on accruals and deferrals and is
not cash flow.
• Free cash flows represents cash flow from assets.
It is calculated as cash flow from operations less
investments in capital expenditures and NWC.

Financial Ratios: Summary and
Conclusions
1. Measures of profitability do not consider risk or
timing of cash flows.
2. Financial ratios are linked to one another.
3. Financial ratios cannot be looked at in isolation; an
appropriate benchmark is needed.
4. Judgment and experience are important in
interpreting ratios.
5. Comparisons with other companies may be
difficult due to different year ends and one-time
2-54
events.
