Understanding the Balance Sheet

What is a Balance Sheet?

A balance sheet is a snapshot of a company’s financial position at a specific point in time. It shows:

  • Assets (what the company owns)
  • Liabilities (what the company owes)
  • Equity (owner’s funds in the business)

1. Liability Side (Sources of Funds)

Liabilities represent the sources of funds a company uses. These include:

  • Share Capital – Money raised from shareholders (Equity & Preference Shares)
  • Reserves & Surplus – Retained earnings & other special reserves
  • Long-Term Liabilities – Loans, debentures, bonds issued for funding
  • Short-Term Liabilities – Creditors, outstanding expenses, unpaid dividends

2. Asset Side (Application of Funds)

Assets represent how the company utilizes its funds. Key components include:

  • Fixed Assets – Land, buildings, machinery
  • Current Assets – Cash, bank balance, stock, receivables
  • Investments – Stocks, bonds, securities
  • Intangible Assets – Patents, trademarks, goodwill

📌 Exam Tip: In banking, balance sheets are mostly in vertical format, listing sources and uses of funds.

Profit & Loss (P&L) Statement Explained

What is a P&L Statement?

The Profit & Loss Statement shows a company’s income and expenses over a period. It helps determine whether the company made a profit or loss.

Key Formulas:

  • Gross Profit = Net Sales – COGS
  • Operating Profit = Gross Profit – Operating Expenses
  • Net Profit = Operating Profit + Non-Operating Income – Interest – Taxes

Understanding Financial Ratios

To better analyze financial statements, you must understand key financial ratios:

  • Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
  • Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholders’ Equity
  • Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total Assets
  • Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income / Shareholder’s Equity

Understanding these ratios will help in making better financial decisions and preparing for banking exams.
