Balance Sheet Analysis
 When analyzing a balance sheet, the Finance
Manager should be aware of three concerns:
1. Liquidity
2. Debt versus equity
3. Value versus cost

2-8
Liquidity
 Refers to the ease and quickness with which
assets can be converted to cash—without a
significant loss in value
 Current assets are the most liquid.
 Some fixed assets are intangible.
 The more liquid a firm’s assets, the less likely
the firm is to experience problems meeting
short-term obligations.
 Liquid assets frequently have lower rates of
return than fixed assets. 2-9
Debt versus Equity
 Creditors generally receive the first claim on
the firm’s cash flow.
 Shareholder’s equity is the residual difference
between assets and liabilities.

 Resources = sources

2-10
Value versus Cost
 Under Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), audited financial
statements of firms in the U.S. carry assets at
cost.
 Market value is the price at which the assets,
liabilities, and equity could actually be bought
or sold, which is a completely different
concept from historical cost.

2-11
2.2 The Income Statement
 Measures financial performance over a
specific period of time
 The accounting definition of income is:
Revenue – Expenses ≡ Income

Income Statement Analysis
 There are three things to keep in mind when
analyzing an income statement:
1. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP)
2. Non-Cash Items
3. Time and Costs

2-17
GAAP
❑ The matching principle of GAAP dictates that
revenues be matched with expenses.
❑ Thus, income is reported when it is earned,
even though no cash flow may have occurred.

2-18
Non-Cash Items
❑ Depreciation is the most apparent. No firm
ever writes a check for “depreciation.”
❑ Another non-cash item is deferred taxes,
which does not represent a cash flow.
❑ Thus, net income is not cash.

2-19
Time and Costs
❑ In the short-run, certain equipment, resources, and
commitments of the firm are fixed, but the firm can
vary such inputs as labor and raw materials.
❑ In the long-run, all inputs of production (and hence
costs) are variable.
❑ Financial accountants do not distinguish between
variable costs and fixed costs. Instead, accounting
costs usually fit into a classification that
distinguishes product costs from period costs.

2-20
2.4 Net Working Capital

❑ Net Working Capital ≡

Current Assets – Current Liabilities

 NWC usually grows with the firm – the change

in NWC

2.5 Financial Cash Flow
 In finance, the most important item that can
be extracted from financial statements is the
actual cash flow of the firm.
 Since there is no magic in finance, it must be
the case that the cash flow received from the
firm’s assets must equal the cash flows to
the firm’s creditors and stockholders.
CF(A)≡ CF(B) + CF(S)

2.5 The Statement of Cash Flows
 There is an official accounting statement called the
statement of cash flows.
 This helps explain the change in accounting cash,
which for U.S. Composite is $33 million in 2010.
 The three components of the statement of cash
flows are:
◼ Cash flow from operating activities
◼ Cash flow from investing activities
◼ Cash flow from financing activities

2.7 Cash Flow Management
 Earnings can be manipulated using subjective
decisions required under GAAP
 Total cash flow is more objective, but the
underlying components may also be
“managed”
◼ Moving cash flow from the investing section to
the operating section may make the firm’s
business appear more stable
