Balance Sheet
• The balance sheet is a snapshot of the firm’s assets (owns) and liabilities (owes) at a given point in time. In Cambodia, an annual balance sheet is normally prepared as at 31 December of each year.

Assets
• An asset is an item of value owned by the business.
Assets
• Current Assets: assets that are relatively liquid, and are expected to be converted to cash within a year.• Cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable,
inventories, prepaid expenses.
• Property Plant, and Equipment: machinery and equipment, buildings, and land.
• Investment• Intangible Assets such as patents and
copyrights.
Cash
• The most liquid of assets• Generally includes currency, coin, balances
in checking and other demand or “near demand” accounts
Marketable Securities
• Refers to short-term investments that the firm INTENDS to hold for less than one year (thus a “current” asset)
• Generally reported on balance sheet at market value
• May include t-bills, CDs, stocks, bonds• Sometimes combined with cash and reported
as Cash Equivalents
Accounts Receivable
• Arise from credit-sale transactions• Reported on the balance sheet at NET
REALIZABLE VALUE• Accounts Receivable 20000• Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (500)• Net Accounts Receivable 19500
Or Account Receivable, net 19500
Inventory
• Consist of items held for sale or used in manufacture of goods for sale
• Merchandising Company• one type of inventory (finished goods)
• Manufacturing Company• three types of inventories (raw materials, work-
in-process, finished goods)
Prepaid Expenses
• Represent expenses paid in advance -- included in current assets if they expire within one year or operating cycle
• Usually not a material item• Present few or no reporting or valuation
issues
• ON TO NONCURRENT ASSETS…….
Property, Plant & Equipment (PP&E)
• Often called “fixed assets”• Represent major resource commitments
which benefit a firm for more than one year• Recorded at HISTORICAL cost; cost allocated
over asset’s useful life through DEPRECIATION (exception: land is not depreciated)
• PP&E is reported on balance sheet at historical cost less accumulated depreciation to date
Investment
• Investments of a business represent assets of a permanent nature that will yield benefits a year or more after the date of the financial statement. These may include: investments in related companies such as affiliates (partly owned) and subsidiaries (owned and controlled); stocks and bonds maturing later than one year; securities placed in special funds; and fixed assets not used in production. The value of these items should be shown at cost.
Intangible Assets
• Resources with expected future economic benefits but lacking a physical substance
• Some examples are patents, copyrights, goodwill
• Goodwill can be material if firm is heavily involved in acquisition activity
LIABILITIES & EQUITIES
REPRESENT CLAIMS TO ASSETS• LIABILITIES: Creditor Claims• EQUITIES: Owner Claims
Constitute the “right” side of equation
LIABILITIES
• May be CURRENT or LONG-TERM -- same criteria of “one-year or operating cycle, whichever is longer” applies here as well
• Represent claims by creditors of the firm
A Look at Current Liabilities
• Accounts Payable• Short-term Notes Payable• Accrued Liabilities• Unearned Revenues (Deferred Credits)• Current Maturity Portion of Long-term Debt• Deferred Taxes (some, not all or even
most…)
…and Long-Term Liabilities?
• Notes or Mortgages Payables• Bonds Payable• Pension and Lease Obligations
Accounts Payable
• Usually defined as obligations arising from purchases of merchandise for resale or of raw materials
• Few valuation or reporting issues• Significant changes from period to period
often result from changes in sales volume
Short-Term Notes Payable
• Promissory notes due within a year (or operating cycle if more appropriate)
• Usually are interest-bearing• Usually reported at face value because of
short-term nature
Accrued Liabilities
• Result from accrual basis of accounting• Represent expenses that have been
INCURRED and thus ACCRUED, but have NOT BEEN PAID in cash
• Examples are Interest Payable and Wages Payable
• In this case, cash flow follows expense recognition
Unearned Revenue
• Sometimes called “deferred credits”• Results from a prepayment received in
advance for services or products• Under accrual accounting, revenue is
recognized when EARNED, not when received in cash -- in this case, cash flow precedes revenue recognition
Current Maturities - LT Debt
• Represent principal payments on debt that are due within one year
• Confirms the old adage that nothing is long-term forever -- eventually it has to be paid as a current item!
• Now, how about those items that are STILL LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Notes or Mortgages Payable
• Represent any mortgages or notes payable that do not have any principal repayment requirements during the coming year
Bonds Payable
• Once again, represent items that do not have any principal payment requirements within the next year
Pension & Lease Obligations
• Generally reported at the present value of expected future cash outflows
• Can represent MAJOR liabilities for many firms and have a significant impact on the balance sheet
Stockholders’ Equity
• Represent claims to assets by OWNERS, i.e. stockholders
• Is often referred to as a RESIDUAL; this flows from a restatement of the basic equation:
ASSETS - LIABILITIES = EQUITIES
More on Stockholders’ Equity
• Usually consists of STOCK ACCOUNTS AND ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL and RETAINED EARNINGS -- may have other equity accounts
• May have more than one “class” of stock: common stock and one or more issues of preferred stock
• Shares of common stock represent ownership of the firm
• Stock usually has a PAR VALUE
STOCK AND ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL
• Common and Preferred Stock accounts often carry balances representing “par value” of outstanding shares
• Preferred Stockholders: received fixed dividends, and have higher priority than common stockholders in event of liquidation of the firm.
• Common Stockholders: residual owners of a business. They receive whatever is left after creditors and preferred stockholders are paid.
• Additional paid-in Capital accounts reflect balances over and above par value (from original sales of stock)
Retained Earnings
• In simplest terms, represents the cumulative undistributed earnings of the business since its inception
• Represent funds the company has chosen to “retain” and reinvest in the business
• RETAINED EARNINGS DOES NOT REPRESENT A PILE OF CASH!!!!!!!
Income Statement
• The income statement is more like a video of the firm’s operations for a specified period of time – “between balance sheets” (IS Equation: Rev-Expenses=Income).
• In Cambodia, the normal accounting period is the year ended 31 December.
• You generally report revenues first and then deduct any expenses for the period
• Matching principle – GAAP say to show revenue when it accrues (not necessarily when the cash comes in) and match the expenses required to generate the revenue
