《Q & A - Interpretation of Financial Statement & Annual Report》
1. What is Non-Controlling Interest(Minority interest)
Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest (greater than 50% but less than 100%) and consolidates the subsidiary's financial results with its own.
Example:
- Company A acquires 80% of the outstanding stock of company X.
- Because A owns more than 50% of X, A consolidates X's financial results with its own.
- The 20% of X's equity that A does not own is recorded on A's balance sheet as NCI.
- Consolidated net income is allocated to the parent and non-controlling interests (minority shareholders) in proportion to their percentages ownership.
- 80% to A and 20% to the non-controlling interests
2. What is the different of Group vs Company?
- Company = Financials without that of its subsidiaries
- Group = Consolidated Financials with its subsidiaries(> 51% interest)
- Holding company + 0 subsidiaries; Company=Group
- Holding company + many subsidiaries = Group
- Although the holding company may only own 51% shares in the subsidiaries, 100% of the financial performance of the subsidiaries (less inter-company adjustments) is taken into the Group financials which are therefore considered as CONSOLIDATED.
- In Financial statement, we are referring to "GROUP" instead of "the company" column for a company financial performance & balance sheet.
3. What is "Balance Sheet/Statement of Position"?
- Balance sheet shows a firm’s assets (what it owns) and liabilities (what it owes).
- The difference between a firm’s assets and liabilities is the firm’s net worth(Shareholder's Equity)
Assets - Liabilities = Equity
4. What is Statement of Comprehensive Income/Profit(loss) Account/ Income Statement?
- Revenues and expenses for the business(operation & non operation)
- Earning after Taxation(Net Profit) = Sales/Revenue/Income – COGS – Operating Expenses – Other Expenses + Other Income – Finance/Interest Cost - Taxation
5. What is Statement of Cash Flow?
Summarizes the levels of cash being generated or consumed by the business (cash inflow VS cash outflow)
- 3 main part:
(a) CFFO - cash inflow VS cash outflow - operating activities
Example: Changes in trade receivables, payables, inventories
(b) CFFI - cash inflow VS cash outflow - investing activities
