3. Income Statement - Introduction
Profits are a measure of a company’s well being and perceived value addition by the customer.
The Profit & Loss account is a report card of the financial performance of the firm, for a particular period (and not as on a particular day)
Profit & Loss Account is also known as P&L statement or Income statement.
The word Earnings and Profits are also used interchangeably.

4. Introduction
Profit and Loss account gives an idea about what has transpired during the year, in terms of business activities. It is one of the linking points for the 2 Balance sheets – at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year.

5. Different Views of Profits
Based on the requirement of people working in a company or analyzing it, various views of profits are available.
These can be calculated from a basic income statement by moving from top to the bottom.
Sales are known as topline since they are at the top of an income statement.
Profits are known as bottom line since they appear as the last
line in the Income statement.

Depreciation - Any fixed Asset purchased is not written off as an expense in the same year. The capital expenditure is assumed to be divided over its life. Only the value which goes away in one year is accounted as an expense in the P&L account.
Interest - Interest paid on loans the company has raised
PBT - Profits Before Tax ( EBITDA + Other Income - Depreciation - Interest)
Tax - Corporate Tax  Profits - Net profit available for distribution to shareholder

16. Depreciation
Refers to gradual consumption of a long term resource or asset. This gradual consumption is captured by reducing the accounting value of the resource in each period.
The Balance sheet shows a reduction in the value of the asset
Let’s say a truck is purchased in year 2010 for Rs10 lacs. We assume the truck can be useful for the next 10 years, after which, it will have to be replaced.
The reason could be wear and tear or obsolescence of the model

17. Depreciation
This is pure accounting treatment and need not indicate actual sale of the truck in any year.
Actual outflow of cash took place in year 1, but is accounted for over 10 years.
Remember – Depreciation is a notional expense.

18. Amortization
Depreciation for Intangible assets is known as Amortisation.
For Example, if a telecom company bids for a license for 10 years, and pays Rs 4000 crore, then every year, it will write off Rs 400 crore. This is known as amortization.

19. Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition can occur independently of cash movements—for example, in the case of the
sale of goods and services on credit or
receipt of cash in advance of providing goods and services
A fundamental principle of accrual accounting is that revenue is recognized (reported on the income statement) in the period in which it is earned.
Specific Situations – Revenue Recognition
Long Term Contracts
Instalment Sales
Barter Transactions
Accrual accounting - records revenues and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged

20. Expense Recognition
The Fundamental principle is that a company recognizes expenses in the period in which it consumes (i.e., uses up) the economic benefits associated with the expenditure.
Matching principle: Costs are matched with revenues.
As with revenue recognition, expense recognition can occur independently of cash movements.
Inventory and cost of goods sold or Plant, property,
and equipment and depreciation
