These are the resources of the firm. Liabilities are probable, measurable, future economic sacrifices arising from a company’s obligations to convey assets or perform services to a person or other organization outside of the company at some time in the future.

You can connect an ending balance sheet (e.g., end of year) to a beginning balance sheet (e.g., start of year) through the simple idea that: what you start with, plus what you add to it, minus what you take away from it, is what you end with.

Challenges that Might be Encountered in Interpreting Financial Statements There are certain problems and issues that might be encountered in analyzing financial statements which demand care and Verdict. The basic problem in financial statement is that there is no theory which tells us which numbers we need to look at and how to interpret them. In the absence of a fundamental theory, financial statement analysis appears to be informal and subjective. Again many organizations, particularly the big ones, have set-ups spanning a varied range of industries. This makes it very difficult in trying to find suitable standards for evaluating financial performance. In solving this issues organizations have to put in place an underlying theory and standards (Rao, 2008). This will prevent errors and confusion that arises after reading such documents. Key...

...ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEET ASSETS Total assets increased $233.1 million, or 7%, as of December 31, 2002, primarily as a result of higher cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other non-current assets, partially offset by lower deferred income taxes, inventories, property, plant, and equipment, and goodwill. Current assets increased by $96.1 million, or 8%, principally reflecting increased cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, substantially offset by a decrease in deferred income taxes. The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflected strong cash flows from operations during the year, offset by contributions of $308.1 million to the Corporation's pension plans. Prepaid expenses and other current assets reflected higher prepaid pension expense associated with the funding of pension plans during the year and increased original margin balances for commodity futures. The elimination of current deferred income taxes resulted primarily from the significant liability related to the tax effect on other comprehensive income associated with the gains on commodity futures contracts during the year. Property, plant and equipment was lower than the prior year primarily due to depreciation expense of $155.4 million and the retirement of property, plant and equipment of $19.0 million, partially offset by capital additions of $132.7 million. The decrease in goodwill primarily reflected the impact of the sale of certain...

Long-term investments can also include land or buildings owned by the company but not currently being used by the company. These investments can gain value over time which makes them an asset to a company. Long-term investments may never be sold.

...Balance sheet ratios The important ratios that arise from the Balance Sheet include working capital, liquidity, net worth, debtors turnover, return on assets and return on investment. Working capital ratio This ratio is also known as "the current ratio", and is one of the best-known measures of financial strength. The main question this ratio addresses is: "Does your business have enough current assets to meet the payment schedule of its current debts with a margin of safety for possible losses in current assets, such as stock shrinking or uncollectable debtors?" A generally acceptable current ratio is 2:1; but whether or not a specific ratio is satisfactory, depends on the nature of the business and the characteristics of its current assets and liabilities. The minimum acceptable current ratio is obviously 1:1 but that relationship is usually playing it too close for comfort. Because there is a time lag between paying for materials and labour used to produce your goods and the receipt of the cash for those goods, the business needs money to fund its day-to-day operations. This money is referred to as working capital and is represented by the difference between current assets and current liabilities. The formula for working out your working capital ratio is as follows: Current Assets ($120,000) / Current Liabilities ($80,000) = 1.5 : 1.0 In this case it means that there is $1.50 available in current assets to meet every $1 of current liability. This ratio...
