Financing activities
• Business activities are financed with either
liabilities or equity.

• Liabilities ( financing liabilities and operating liabilities) –
normally reported as current or non current.
• Equity – claims of owners on the net assets of the
company.

liabilities unsecured loans
• Reasons to analyze liabilities:

• Prohibition on disbursement of evidence
• Terms of indebtedness
• Restrictions to deploy resources and pursuing business
activities
• Obligations for working capital.
Lease
• Contractual agreement between lessor and lessee
• The lessor owns the asset and for a fee allows the
lessee to use the asset.
• The lessee is the party in a lease liable for periodic
payments in exchange for the right to use the asset.
• Can be classified as:
• Finance lease
• Operating lease
A.Operating Leases
• Usually not fully amortized
• Usually require the lessor to maintain
and insure the asset
• Lessee enjoys a cancellation option
B.Financial Leases
Essentially opposite of an operating lease.
1. Do not provide for maintenance or service by the lessor.
2. Financial leases are fully amortized.
3. The lessee usually has a right to renew the lease at
expiry.
4. Generally, financial leases cannot be cancelled.
Implication of lease
• Step in preparing amortization table:
• Determine the present value of the leased asset.
PVA = PMT (PVIFAi,n)
• Compute interest
interest expenses = interest rate x beginning year
liability
• Compute principal for each year
total lease payment – interest expenses
Implication of lease
• example:
• A company lease an asset on January 2016. The assets
has 5 years useful life. The company will depreciate this
assets using straight line method. The company paid
RM2,505 lease at the end of each year. The interest rate
on the lease is 8 percent per year.
• You are required to analyze the lease by preparing the
amortization schedule.

• Comments:
• From balance sheet perspective, capital lease
accounting recognizes the benefits (assets) and
obligation (liabilities) that arises from lease transaction.
• Operating lease methods ignores these benefits and
obligation and fully reflects these impacts only by end of
the lease term.
• Thus, the balance sheet under the operating lease
method fails to reflect the lease assets and obligations
of the company
Shareholders’ Equity
• Analyzing the equity includes:
• Classify among major sources of equity financing
• Examining the rights class of shareholders and priorities
in liquidations
• Evaluating legal restrictions of distribution of equity
Shareholders’ Equity
