5.1 The financial position of the company
A company can be considered as a succession of investing and financing projects. The
following steps describe how a company works from a financial point of view:
has to raise the needed money by issuing capital or liabilities (debt) , thereby defining the
financial structure of the company. The financial structure of the company , therefore, is the
specific mixture of capital and liabilities a company uses to finance its operations. The company
commits itself to remunerate the fund providers in return.
project. An asset can be defined as any resource with economic value which is expected to
generate future cash-flows.
consequence, other assets of (expected) higher value will arise. For example, if a company
buys a good by 10 € and sell it by 12 €, the company will loose that good (that asset
“disappears” or it is consumed) but, in exchange, it receives a new asset which value is
higher (money or a credit). Therefore, the operations of the company are expected to
increase the value of the assets that belong to the company. The increasing in the value of
the assets of a company in a given period of time is called the Operating Income of that
period.

not receive assets of higher value, but assets of lower value. In this case, the
operations will produce an operating loss. In addition to that loss, the company will
still have to pay the interests to the debtholders, so those interests must be added to the
operating loss to produce an even larger net loss. Again, the value of the stockholders
equity will decrease.

5.2 The assets of the company
The assets of the company are the investments of that company. That is to say: an asset is
any economic resource controlled by the company which is expected to produce cash-
inflows in the future.
In the development of its operations, the assets of the company will disappear and they will
be replaced by other assets that are expected to be of the same or higher value. The
disappearance of an asset is called the consumption of that asset.
For example, let us consider the case of an industrial company. Its operations would be:
Buys raw materials
Convert raw materials
into finished products
Sell finished
products
Collect the
price
Money disappears

5.2 The assets of the company
We can classify the assets into two groups depending on the time required to be
consumed. However, to make this classification, we have to define first the
company’s life cycle.
The company’s life cycle is composed of the set of procedures that take place in the
company from the moment in which the company makes an investment in its operations,
till the moment the invested money is returned.
The life cycle of a commercial and an industrial companies would be the following:
Goods
purchase
Goods sell
Collection of
receivables
Commercial

Raw material

5.2 The assets of the company
Fixed or noncurrent assets are those which will not be consumed in the company’s
life cycle.
There are three main kinds of fixed assets:
A) Plant, property and equipment : tangible assets that are typically used in the
operations of the company. They comprise land, buildings, furniture and
equipment.
B) Intangible assets : assets that lack real substance, but they are expected to generate
future cash-flows. They usually represent rights, privileges and competitive
advantages backed by a legal agreement. Examples of intangible assets are patents,
copyrights, trademarks, goodwill, software licenses…
C) Long-term investments : financial investments of the company in another
company’s debt or equity, as well as long-term collection rights.

5.2 The assets of the company
Long-term invested will be consumed as the collection rights are fulfilled. Real
fixed assets (that is, those which are tangible or untangible assets), however, will be
consumed in the operations of the company, although they will not be fully
consumed in one single life cycle, but in various life cycles.
The partial consumption of the value of the fixed asset occurred in a period of time
is called depreciation (in the case of tangible assets) or amortization (in the case of
intangible assets).
Not all the tangible assets, however, are depreciated: land assets are not depreciated
because it is assumed to have an unlimited useful life, that is to say, it would be
consumed in infinitum life cycles.

5.2 The assets of the company
Example: the cost value of a car is 30,000 €. The company estimates that this car wil be
used during 4 years, being sold after that time by 5,000 €. Estimate the annual
depreciation of this car.
Useful life: 4 years

Example: the cost value of a car is 30,000 €. The company estimates that this car wil be
used until it has run 300,000 Km, being then sold by 5,000 €. If the car has run 130,
Km this year, estimate the depreciation for this year.

5.3 The financial statements
Most income is related to assets operations. The sales revenue, the gains in the
disposal of fixed assets, or the revenues and gains on their financial investments are
income related to the investments of the company.
Income from financial operations is much less usual. The only example we will
study is the periodic recognition of the income generated by a grant.
Expenses related to assets operations are all those expenses the company has to incur
to produce and sell its products. For instance, the consumption of inventories,
depreciation, wages and salaries, services, losses in assets disposals….
Financial-related expenses are the interests paid for the money the company
borrows, as well as the commissions, fees and other costs associated to the liabilities
operations.
