CHAPTER 1: Introduction

Introduction to Subject

“Comparative financial statements are accounting reports that show more than just the current-year activity or balances. The three major financial statements are the balance sheet, the income (or profit and loss) statement and the cash flow statement. Comparative statements are required in order to comply with generally accepted accounting principles. They give readers a more complete view of the direction of the company over time.”

Financial statements are a collection of reports about an organization's financial results and condition. They are useful for the following reasons:

• To determine the ability of a business to generate cash, and the sources and uses of that cash.

• To determine whether a business has the capability to pay back its debts.

• To track financial results on a trend line to spot any looming profitability issues.

• To derive financial ratios from the statements that can indicate the condition of the business.

• To investigate the details of certain business transactions, as outlined in the disclosures that accompany the statements.

The standard contents of a set of financial statements are:

• Balance sheet shows the entity's assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity as of the report date.

• Income statement shows the results of the entity's operations and financial activities for the reporting period.

• Statement of cash flows shows changes in the entity's cash flow during the reporting period.

• Supplementary notes. Includes explanations of various activities, additional detail on some accounts, and other items as mandated by GAAP or IFRS.

If a business plans to issue financial statements to outside users (such as investors or lenders), the financial statements should be formatted in accordance with one of the major accounting frameworks, such as GAAP or IFRS. These frameworks allow for some leeway in how financial statements can be structured, so statements issued by different firms even in the same industry are likely to have somewhat different appearances.

5

If financial statements are issued strictly for internal use, there are no guidelines, other than common usage, for how the statements are to be presented.

At the most minimal level, a business is expected to issue an income statement and balance sheet to document its monthly results and ending financial condition. The full set of financial statements is expected when a business is reporting the results for a full fiscal year.

Comparative financial statements are the complete set of financial statement that an entity issues, revealing information for more than one accounting period.

The financial statements that may be included in this package are:

• The income statement (showing results for multiple periods)

• The balance sheet (showing the financial position of the entity as of more than one balance sheet date)

• The statement of cash flow (showing the cash flows for more than one period)

Another variation on the comparative concept is to report information for each of the 12 preceding months on a rolling basis. Comparative financial statements are quite useful for the following reasons:

• Provides a comparison of an entity's financial performance over multiple periods, so that you can determine trends. The statements may also reveal unusual spikes in the reported information that can indicate the presence of accounting errors.

• Provides a comparison of expenses to revenues and the proportions of various items on the balance sheet over multiple periods. This information can be useful for cost management purposes.

• May be useful for predicting future performance, though you should rely more on operational indicators and leading indicators than on historical performance for this type of analysis.

It is customary to issue comparative financial statements with additional columns containing the variance between periods, as well as the percentage change between periods.The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that a publicly held company use comparative financial statements when reporting to the public on the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

CHAPTER 2: Balance Sheet

In financial accounting, a balance sheet or statement of financial position is a summary of the financial balances of a sole proprietorship, a business partnership, a corporation or other business organization, such as an LLC or an LLP. Assets, liabilities and ownership equity are listed as of a specific date, such as the end of its financial year.

A balance sheet is often described as a "snapshot of a company's financial condition “Of the four basic financial statements, the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time of a business' calendar year.

A standard company balance sheet has three parts: assets, liabilities and ownership equity. The main categories of assets are usually listed first and typically in order of liquidity. Assets are followed by the liabilities. The difference between the assets and the liabilities is known as equity or the net assets or the net worth or capital of the company and according to the accounting equation, net worth must equal assets minus liabilities.

A business operating entirely in cash can measure its profits by withdrawing the entire bank balance at the end of the period, plus any cash in hand. However, many businesses are not paid immediately; they build up inventories of goods and they acquire buildings and equipment. In other words: businesses have assets and so they cannot, even if they want to, immediately turn these into cash at the end of each period.

Often, these businesses owe money to suppliers and to tax authorities, and the proprietors do not withdraw all their original capital and profits at the end of each period. In other words businesses also have liabilities.

CHAPTER 3: Income Statement

An official quarterly or annual financial document published by a public company, showing earnings, expenses, and net profit. Net income is determined from this financial report by subtracting total expenses from total revenue.

The income statement and the balance sheet are the two major financial reports that every public company publishes. The difference between this statement and the balance sheet deals with the periods of time that each one represents. The profit and loss statement shows transactions over a given period of time (usually quarterly or annually), whereas the balance sheet gives a snapshot holdings on a specific date.

Profit and loss account is that part of final account is made for calculating the net profit or net loss. In the debit side of this account, we show all indirect loss and expenses and in the credit side of this account, we show all indirect incomes. After matching debit and credit side of profit and loss account, we can find net profit or loss of business.

If organization is company, we transfer this balance to profit and loss appropriation account; otherwise, we transfer this balance to capital account.

CHAPTER 4: Cash Flow Statement

“A financial statement that reflects the inflow of revenue vs. the outflow of expenses resulting from operating, investing and financing activities during a specific time period”

Cash flow statements and projections express a business's results or plans in terms of cash in and out of the business, without adjusting for accrued revenues and expenses.

The cash flow statement doesn't show whether the business will be profitable, but it does show the cash position of the business at any given point in time by measuring revenue against outlays.

The cash flow statement should be prepared on a monthly basis during the first year, on a quarterly basis for the second year, and annually for the third year.

The following 17 items are listed in the order they need to appear on your cash flow statement:

1. Cash refers to cash on hand in the business.

2. Cash sales are income from sales paid for by cash.

3. Receivables are income from the collection of money owed to the business resulting from sales.

4. Other income is income from investments, interest on loans that have been extended, and the liquidation of any assets.

5. Total income is the sum of total cash, cash sales, receivables and other income.

6. Material/merchandise is the raw material used in the manufacture of a product (for manufacturing operations only), the cash outlay for merchandise inventory (for merchandisers such as wholesalers and retailers), or the supplies used in the performance of a service.

7. Direct labor is the labor required to manufacture a product (for manufacturing operations only) or to perform a service.

8. Overhead is all fixed and variable expenses required for the operations of the business.

9. Marketing/sales is all salaries, commissions and other direct costs associated with the marketing and sales departments.

10. R&D is labour expenses required to support the research and development operations of the business.

18

11. G&A is labor expenses required to support the general and administrative functions of the business.

12. Taxes are all taxes, except payroll, paid to the appropriate government institutions.

13. Capital represents the capital requirements to obtain any equipment needed to generate income.

14. Loan payments are the total of all payments made to reduce any long-term debts.

15. Total expenses are the sum of material, direct labor, overhead expenses, marketing, sales, R&D, G&A, taxes, capital and loan payments.

16. Cash flow is the difference between total income and total expenses. This amount is carried over to the next period as beginning cash.

17. Cumulative cash flow is the difference between current cash flow and cash flow from the previous period.
