- 0:01well nicely done you've made it to the
- 0:03last video and by the way don't be put
- 0:05off by the busyness of this screen uh
- 0:08you know all the stuff here income
- 0:10statement statement of cash flows
- 0:12there's the balance sheet uh what I'm
- 0:14going to do now is do a very fast rattle
- 0:17through all three of these and uh just
- 0:20to just to cover off all the work that
- 0:22you already know all right you ready
- 0:25Let's uh let's get going oh one thing by
- 0:28the way and that is that you'll see
- 0:30negative numbers don't have a dash in
- 0:31front of them they're represented uh
- 0:33with brackets around them okay ready go
- 0:37this is for January for Acme web design
- 0:39the income statement starts off with
- 0:41sales of $5,000 and a corresponding cost
- 0:44of good sold of 1,000 we know to
- 0:47subtract the one from the five to get to
- 0:50$4,000 then we have a bunch of expenses
- 0:52General and administrative $6,000 that's
- 0:55your rent uh telecommunications costs
- 0:58administrative costs that's type of
- 1:00thing no research and development cost
- 1:02we have sales and marketing there was a
- 1:04salary in there and a small campaign add
- 1:06all those up to get to $9,000 and then
- 1:09subtract uh
- 1:104,000 subtract 9,000 from 4,000 to get
- 1:14to minus 5,000 that's our fancily named
- 1:17subtotal earnings before interest taxes
- 1:20depreciation and amortization or called
- 1:23eota we have no interest we didn't pay
- 1:25anything to the bank and so therefore
- 1:27our net income is $5,000 loss which
- 1:30means we didn't make any money here that
- 1:33$5,000 goes over to the top of the
- 1:36statement of cash flows and then um the
- 1:39uh $5,000 wor the sales wasn't paid to
- 1:43us half of it uh instead went to
- 1:45accounts receivable and when that
- 1:47happens uh it decreases the cash we have
- 1:50available there that's why a negative
- 1:51number but you can also see that it
- 1:53increases the accounts receivable
- 1:55showing on the balance sheet but then we
- 1:58didn't pay some of the uh costs uh this
- 2:01month and so that increased our accounts
- 2:03payable and also increased the amount of
- 2:05cash that we have on hand there's the
- 2:07accounts payable uh down here so total
- 2:11um cash from operations is a minus 6500
- 2:15we didn't buy any equipment we didn't
- 2:16take out a loan but the founder did put
- 2:18in
- 2:20$225,000 uh against common stock
- 2:22therefore the total cash uh proceeds
- 2:25coming into the company this month is
- 2:2818,500 there's the total of this this
- 2:30and this and this uh cash at the start
- 2:33of the period was Zero therefore cash at
- 2:36the end of the period was1 185 and this
- 2:38starts off our balance sheet right here
- 2:41we know what the accounts receivable is
- 2:43therefore total current assets is 21,000
- 2:45no equipment um there's the accounts
- 2:48payable total Uh current liabilities of
- 2:51a th000 no long-term liabilities total
- 2:53overall liabilities of a th000 there's
- 2:55the common stock 25,000 sliding in here
- 2:59and and retained earnings as you know is
- 3:01the total of all of the uh profits and
- 3:04losses since the company began and if
- 3:06you look down you see a total of
- 3:09liabilities and Equity of 21,000 which
- 3:11balances with the total assets are
- 3:14balance sheet
- 3:15balances okay we're almost there I got
- 3:18to show you one more
- 3:22thing okay so what I've done here is
- 3:24added in another month we're going to go
- 3:26through the month of February and we're
- 3:28going to do very quickly all right sales
- 3:30of 7,000 is up from the previous month
- 3:33corresponding 20% cost of good sold
- 3:35leaves a gross profit of
- 3:365600 uh expenses hasn't changed still
- 3:39$9,000 worth of expenses 5600 of gross
- 3:42profit minus the 9,000 in expenses
- 3:44equals the EA of- 3,400 so we're still
- 3:47losing money but not as bad which is
- 3:49exactly what you want to see in a new
- 3:50company we did pay the bank $100 worth
- 3:53of interest and I'll show you why in
- 3:54just a minute and 3400 - 3400 - 100 is
- 3:58equal to - 35 00 the loss for the month
- 4:01and that starts off our statement of
- 4:04cash flows at the top okay here's a
- 4:06little trickiness the $2500 in accounts
- 4:09receivable last month got paid to us
- 4:11this month but we also then took half of
- 4:15this sales then went back into accounts
- 4:18receivable the difference between the
- 4:202500 from last month and the $3500 from
- 4:22this month is $1,000 so accounts
- 4:24receivable went up by $11,000 as you can
- 4:27see here uh which just reduces our cash
- 4:30the accounts payable we paid our bills
- 4:32from last month but then didn't pay some
- 4:34of our bills from this month so accounts
- 4:36payable is still at $11,000 unchanged uh
- 4:40net cash from operations minus 4500 we
- 4:43then bought some equipment we paid
- 4:45$112,000 for it we took a a loan from
- 4:48the bank for 10,000 of that common stock
- 4:51remains unchanged therefore the total of
- 4:54the cash flows from operations and
- 4:57investing and financing is equal to-
- 5:01$6,500 um so the in the month $6,500
- 5:05went out of the company but we started
- 5:07off we ended up last month with 1885
- 5:10cash that starts off this month and
- 5:12therefore we still have $122,000 in the
- 5:15bank as you can see here starting off uh
- 5:18but ending off this month there's our
- 5:20total current assets longterm there's
- 5:22the $112,000 equipment right here and uh
- 5:26so the total assets is 27,500
- 5:29um the equipment loan of $110,000 shows
- 5:32up right here in our balance sheet
- 5:33that's a liability something that we
- 5:35have to pay back and so our total
- 5:37liabilities is 1,000 + 10 is equal to 11
- 5:41common stock remains unchanged retained
- 5:43earnings as you'll recall is the total
- 5:46of all of the uh profits and losses
- 5:49since the company began which is indeed
- 5:518500 and you can see that at the bottom
- 5:53the total of liabilities and owners
- 5:55Equity is 27,500 and so our balance
- 5:57sheet balances perfect
- 6:01well listen you've been a great student
- 6:03and I've really appreciated that you
- 6:06spent this time with me uh financial
- 6:08statements are an excellent tool to
- 6:10guide you to success so the best thing
- 6:13you can do is to hire a bookkeeper uh to
- 6:15do your financials uh every single month
- 6:18and then meet with your accountant
- 6:19regularly uh monthly or uh no less
- 6:22frequently than every three months and
