The statement of financial position (SFP) is another name for the balance sheet. It
is one of the main financial statements. It displays the assets of a company and their sources of
financing, debt and equity.
Learning Competencies:
The statement of financial position (SFP) is a statement that gives the financial
condition of a business as of a given date. It is composed of three elements- assets, liabilities,
and capital. SFP provides the owner with an understanding of the financial position of the
business. How much are the assets it owns? What is the total of its obligations to suppliers and
external parties? As a capitalist, what is the balance of the owner’s interest in the business?
The following illustration of the financial information of Galaxy Company as of 30 June 2021.
1. ASSETS are properties or rights on properties owned by the business. They are items
of value that belong to the business. In general, common examples of assets are cash, tools,
equipment, building, and land.
An asset is under the control and custodianship of the entity as result of a past
transaction such as purchase, an exchange, or a donation. The asset will generate income for
the entity. The following describe further what an asset is.

purchase from a supplier, or an agreement to assume the debt of another party. Settlement of
the liability will decrease the assets of the entity.
The payment of a liability may be done through (a) cash payment, (b) distribution of other
assets, (c) rendering of services, (d) substitution with another liability, and (e) conversion of the
liability into ownership interest of the lender in the borrower’s entity.
3. CAPITAL account shows the net worth of a business at a specific point in time. It is also
known as owner's equity for a sole proprietorship or shareholders' equity for a corporation, and
it is reported in the bottom section of the balance sheet.
In the world of business, the term capital means anything a business owns that
contributes to building wealth. The capital will grow when the business earns profits, but will
decrease when the business incurs a loss.
Financial assets that can be liquidated like cash, cash equivalents, and marketable
securities.
Tangible assets such as the machines and facilities used to make a product.
Human capital; i.e. the people that work to produce goods and services.
Brand capital; i.e. the perceived value of a brand recognition.
