Financial Projections
Income Statement
The intent of an income statement is to show how much net profit the business will be generating. First, it calculates gross profits. Gross profit is sales revenue minus the cost of sales. Then, the statement begins to account for the other expenses like personnel expenses, rent, and utilities, advertising, etc. Once that is calculated and subtracted from gross profit, it leaves the net profit.
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is a snapshot in time about a company's health. The balance sheet totals the company's assets and liabilities. It also tracks the owner's equity by placing it with the liabilities, this provides a way for the two categories to balance. When totaling the assets and liabilities with owner's equity should equal each other. What one finds with this financial is where the business capital and liabilities are placed.
Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement shows how cash is flowing in and out of the business. It can be argued the cash flow statement is similar to the income statement with a lot of the same categories. However, a cash flow statement accounts for loan payments, owners draw (dividends outflow), and capital purchases (fixed assets), but not depreciation or write-offs. Any cash transaction is accounted for, so a company's liquidity is being tracked. Its goal is to point out when a business will need cash or be cash rich.
