Financial Statements- the Basis of Analysis

• At the end of the accounting process/period , financial statements are prepared to report on the financing and investing activities at that point in time, and to summarize operating activities for the preceding period.

• Financial statements are the object (basis) of both accounting and financial analysis.

• Recall the relationships between business activities and financial statements presented in the last class

Financial Statements

2-6

Statement of Financial Position

• This portrays the financial position of the business by showing what the company owns (controls) and what it owes to outsiders and owners at the report date. It is a snapshot, since it reports the company’s financial position at a specific point in time.

2-7

Statement of Financial Position cont..

The Statement divided into two halves:

• Assets, always presented first• Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity• In the standard accounting model, the

formula of Assets=Liabilities + Shareholders’ Equity applies. Both halves are always in balance.

2-8


• The two sides balance because, from an economic viewpoint, each dollar of assets must be “funded” by a dollar of liabilities or equity.

• Reported assets, liabilities, and shareholders’ equity are subdivided into line items or groups of similar “accounts” having a dollar amount or “balance.”

2-9


• The Assets section includes all the goods and property controlled by the company, and uncollected amounts due (receivables) to the company from others.

• The Liabilities section includes all debts and amounts owed (payables) to outside parties.

2-10


• The Shareholders’ Equity section represents the shareholders’ ownership interest in the company--what the company’s assets would be worth after all claims upon those assets were paid.

2-14

STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

• The statement of comprehensive income should provide information about the performance of the entity. The statement of comprehensive income should include all items of income and expenses recognized in a period.

2-15

STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME CONT…

• This can be thought of more like a motion picture, since it reports on how a company performed during the period(s) presented and shows whether that company’s operations have resulted in a profit or loss.

2-16


• IAS 1 requires enterprises to present all items of income and expenses recognized in a period either

• (a) in a single statement of comprehensive income; or

• (b) in two statements; ( a separate income statement and a statement of other comprehensive income), separately from owner changes in equity

2-17

The Statement of Income cont

• Other comprehensive incomes are items of income and expenses not recognised in profit or loss items that ordinarily would be excluded in the profit or loss for the period but affect shareholders equity.

• They are items that bypass the income statement but affect shareholders equity.

2-18

The Statement of Income cont

• Examples include:• changes in revaluation surplus• actuarial gains and loses on defined benefit

plans• exchange gains (losses) arising from

translating financial statements of foreign operations

• gains and losses on re-measuring available for sale financial assets

2-19


• A statement of income is a statement that shows the results of operations of a business entity during an accounting period. This is reflected by the revenues earned matched with the expenses incurred to generate the revenue.

2-20


• Revenue refers to increases in assets resulting from sale of goods or performance of services in the ordinary course of business.

• It consists of cash, claims to cash or a promise to receive cash in the future (accounts receivable).

2-21


• Revenue represents compensation for the sale of goods or performance of services. Other types of revenue may include:

• Sales revenue/Turnover• Interest earned• Dividend earned• Rent earned• Royalty earned

2-22


• Expenses refer to decreases in assets resulting from the costs incurred in order to earn revenue.

• They are measured by the amount of asset consumed or the amount of liability incurred. They may involve immediate cash payment or promises to pay in the future.

2-23


• An entity has the alternative of presenting an analysis of expenses in the profit or lossusing a classification based on either the nature or their function within the entity.

• The guiding criteria in selecting the basis of the classification should be relevancy and reliability.

2-24


• Classification of expenses by function involves grouping expenses based on the purpose for which the cost was incurred. For example, advertising costs, depreciation of motor vehicles used for the purpose of distributing products and uncollectible debts would be classified as selling and distribution costs.

2-25


• The Extract below shows the statement of income of Colgate for the year ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

Statement of Cash Flows

• Operating,• Investing and • Financing

2-33

Statement of Cash Flows cont..

• The basic purpose of a statement of cash flows is to provide information about the sources and application of cash and cash equivalents of an entity.

• It communicates information about the financial adaptability of an enterprise for a given period of time.

• Cash comprises of cash on hand, and demand deposits (including those in foreign currencies) net of bank overdrafts.

• Operating activities involve the company’s primary business activities, for example the production and delivery of goods and services.

• They reflect the cash effects of transactions, which are included in the determination of net income.

2-38

Statement of Cash Flows cont..• Since many items enter into the

determination of net income, the indirect method is often used to determine the cash provided by or used for operating activities.

• This method requires adjusting net income to reconcile it to cash flows from operating activities.

• The direct method can also be used to compute the cash flows from operating activities

2-39


Common examples of cash flows from operating activities are:

• Cash Collected from customers• Payments to suppliers of goods• Payment for insurance• Payment for Salaries and Wages• Tax payments
