Study Notes
Statement of Changes in Equity
- Reflects changes in equity items like share capital and retained earnings over a specific period.
- Changes in share capital occur due to capital introduction/withdrawal by owners.
- Retained earnings change due to net profit and distributions to owners.
- For Softomation, changes arose from owner transactions (Suresh's withdrawal) and non-owner transactions (routed through profit and loss).
- Suresh withdrew ₹4,500 from March earnings of ₹13,400, retaining ₹8,900.
- Distribution of profit appears in changes in equity, not as an expense in profit and loss.
Statement of Cash Flows
- Reports cash effects from three activities: operations (goods/services), investments (asset transactions), and financing (fund management).
- Softomation ended March with cash of ₹15,200, starting from zero.
- Generated ₹6,700 from operations, spent ₹58,000 on equipment, and received ₹46,500 from Suresh (net of withdrawal) and ₹20,000 from Manish.
Effects of Transactions on Financial Statements
- Most transactions impact multiple financial statements.
- For example, cash service provision affects balance sheet (cash, equity), profit and loss (revenue), and cash flow statement (operating cash flow).
- Transactions, like loan acquisition, impact both balance sheet (cash, borrowings) and cash flow statement (financing cash flow).
Financial Statements of Softomation (March 31, 20XX)
- Balance Sheet Assets totaled ₹82,900, with cash at ₹15,200, trade receivables at ₹8,000, supplies at ₹1,700, and equipment at ₹58,000.
- Liabilities stood at ₹24,000, with trade payables of ₹4,000 and a loan payable of ₹20,000.
- Equity consisted of Suresh's capital of ₹50,000 and retained earnings of ₹8,900.
Understanding Financial Performance
- The balance sheet provides a snapshot of assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific time.
- The profit and loss statement summarizes revenue of ₹20,000 and expenses of ₹6,600, leading to a net profit of ₹13,400 for March.
- Softomation's asset turnover seems low but may improve as business grows.
- Accounts receivable are 40% of sales, indicating potential delays in customer payments.
- Softomation can comfortably pay its suppliers with ₹15,200 in cash against ₹4,000 owed.
Key Financial Ratios

- Debt-to-equity ratio is 0.34:1 (₹20,000 in loans to ₹58,900 in equity), showing low reliance on debt.
- Payout ratio calculated at 34% (withdrawal of ₹4,500 from profit of ₹13,400).
Asset Classification
- Long-term assets include tangible assets (property, equipment) and intangible assets (goodwill, software).
- Current assets are those easily convertible to cash within 12 months, including inventories and cash equivalents.
Liabilities Classification
- Non-current liabilities due after a year include financial liabilities and provisions (employee benefits).
- Current liabilities cover financial obligations due within a year, such as trade payables and taxes.
