income and expense items as a percent of net sales.
• Statement of cash flows

Quality and Financial Analysis
• The quality of a firm’s earnings is positively related to the proportion of cash earnings to total earnings and to the proportion of recurring income to total income.
• The quality of a firm’s balance sheet is positively related to the ratio of the market value of the firm’s assets to book value of the assets and inversely related to the amount of its hidden liabilities.

Problems in Reporting
• Time of revenue recognition
• Establishment of reserves
• Amortization of intangible assets
• Including all losses and debt
• “Pro forma” profitability measures
![Page 19: Evaluation of Financial Performance](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56814fd1550346895dbd90c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Balance Sheet Quality Issues
• Charging off assets
• Hidden liabilities
• Hidden assets
• Off balance sheet financing

Analysis Based on the Market Value of the Firm
• Market value added (MVA) = Market value – Capital– The capital market’s assessment of the
accumulated NPV of all of the firm’s past and present projected investment projects
• Economic value added (EVA) = (r – k) Capital– The yearly contribution of a firm’s
operations to the creation of MVA
![Page 21: Evaluation of Financial Performance](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56814fd1550346895dbd90c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Problems Caused by Inflation
• Inventory profit as a result of timing of price increases
• Inventory valuation methods – (LIFO)– (FIFO)
• Rising interest rates causing a decline in the value of long-term debt
• Differences in the reporting of earnings
• Recognition of sales
![Page 22: Evaluation of Financial Performance](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56814fd1550346895dbd90c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Cash Flow Concept
• Accounting income vs. Cash flow
• Cash flow is the relevant source of value
for the firm.
• ATCF = EAT + Noncash charges– Noncash charges = Depreciation + Deferred taxes
![Page 23: Evaluation of Financial Performance](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062315/56814fd1550346895dbd90c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Statement of Cash Flow
• Presents the effects of operating, investing, and financing on the cash balance– Direct method presents the effects to net cash
provided by operating, investing, and financing.
– Indirect method presents the adjustments to net income showing the effects to net cash.
• Used for public financial reports
• The final results for both are identical.

Complex International Aspects of Financial Statement Analysis
• Influenced by fluctuating exchange rates
• Statement of Accounting Standards No. 52 deals with foreign currency translation.

Accuracy of Financial Statements
• External auditor
• Generally accepted accounting principles
• Corporations pose for a financial statement like people pose for a picture.
