Financial Statements
Learning Objectives
• Understand the four financial statements 1. Balance sheet 2. Statement of operations 3. Statement of changes in net assets 4. Statement of cash flows § Footnotes
Understanding Financial Statements • Balance Sheet
– presents a record of an organization’s assets, liabilities, and net assets (equity) at a specific point of time. In essence, it is a financial snapshot of the organization at a certain date.
• Statement of Operations (Income Statement or Statement of Revenues and Expenses) – details the organization’s revenues and expenses
during the accounting period – typically, one year.
• Statement of Changes in Net Assets – lists how equity changed during the period
• Statement of Cash Flows – describes how cash was generated and used
• Notes to the Financial Statements (Footnotes) – provide detail on the organization’s structure, accounting
practices, and financial standing. Not considered to be part of the four primary financial statements.

Understanding Financial Statements
Current Assets: Assets that are expected to be exchanged for cash or consumed during the operating cycle of the entity (or one year, whichever is longer)
Accounts Receivable: Represent legally enforceable claims on customers for prior services or goods.
Cash & Cash Equivalents: Cash consists of coin, currency, and available deposited funds at banks. Cash equivalents include savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and other temporary marketable securities.
Assets Whose Use is Limited: Typically, cash and investments that can only be spent for specific purposes
C. Property and Equipment
1. Land and Improvements
2. Buildings and Equipment 3. Construction in Progress
4. Allowance for Depreciation D. Other Assets
1. Investments in Affiliated Companies
2. Goodwill 3. Debt Issuance Costs
Allowance for (Accumulated) Depreciation: represents the accumulated depreciation taken on the asset to the date of the financial statement – this is different than “depreciation expense” on the Income Statement.
Goodwill: represents the difference between the price paid to acquire another entity and the fair market value of the acquired entity’s assets, less any related obligations or liabilities
Property and Equipment: represent investment in tangible, permanent assets; they are sometimes referred to as the capital assets (or net fixed assets) of the organization.
Understanding Financial Statements
E. Current Liabilities
1. Current Installments of LTD
2. Accounts Payable 3. Accrued Expenses
4. Construction Payable
5. Estimated Third-Party Settlements
6. Deferred Revenue F. Non-Current Liabilities
1. Long-Term Debt
2. Deferred Revenue
3. Estimated Malpractice Costs G. Net Assets
Long-term Debt: represents the amount of long-term indebtedness that is not due in the next year
Net Assets (Equity): the difference between assets and the claim to those assets by third parties or liabilities
Current Liabilities: obligations that are expected to require payment in cash during the coming year or operating cycle, whichever is longer
Current Installments (Portion) of LTD: represents the amount of principal that will be repaid on the indebtedness within the coming year
