2. The Four Core Financial Statements Explained in Detail
2.1 Income Statement (Profit & Loss Account)
What it shows: How much money the company made (or lost) during the period.
Key lines Bangladeshi investors must understand:
- Revenue / Turnover / Sales → top line growth rate is one of the strongest signals
- Gross Profit = Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
- Operating Profit / EBIT = Gross Profit − Operating Expenses
- Profit Before Tax (PBT)
- Net Profit After Tax (PAT / Profit for the period)
- Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) → unrealized gains/losses
- Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) = PAT + OCI
Real example interpretation: If a company shows 35% revenue growth but only 8% PAT growth → margins are compressing → possible red flag (rising costs, competition).
Significance for DSE investors:
- Strong & consistent PAT growth → candidate for top performers, top value stocks
- Declining margins → watch sector-wise performance and company-wise gainers / losers

2.2 Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position)
What it shows: Snapshot of what the company owns (assets), owes (liabilities), and what belongs to shareholders (equity) at a specific date.
Key sections Bangladeshi investors focus on:
Assets
- Current Assets (Cash, Receivables, Inventory)
- Non-Current Assets (PPE, Intangibles, Long-term investments)
Liabilities
- Current Liabilities (Payables, Short-term loans)
- Non-Current Liabilities (Long-term loans)
Equity
- Paid-up Capital
- Retained Earnings
- Reserves
- Net Asset Value (NAV) per share = Total Equity ÷ Total Shares
Critical ratios from Balance Sheet
- Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities → >1.5 preferred
- Debt-to-Equity = Total Debt ÷ Total Equity → <1 is safer for most sectors
- Book Value per Share (NAV) vs current market price → tells if stock is trading below/above book value
Red flags
- Rapid increase in receivables → possible channel stuffing
- Inventory piling up → demand slowing
- Sharp rise in short-term loans → liquidity stress

2.3 Cash Flow Statement
What it shows: Where cash really came from and where it went (operating, investing, financing activities).
Three main sections
- Cash Flow from Operating Activities — the most important number
- Positive & growing → company generates real cash from business
- Negative for many years → red flag even if PAT looks good
- Cash Flow from Investing Activities
- Usually negative (capex for growth)
- Large negative + positive operating cash flow = healthy expansion
- Cash Flow from Financing Activities
- Positive = borrowing or issuing shares
- Negative = repaying debt or paying dividends
Golden rule Bangladeshi investors use: If Operating Cash Flow is consistently lower than Net Profit → earnings quality is questionable (aggressive accounting possible).
Example: A company reports BDT 200 Cr PAT but only BDT 40 Cr operating cash flow → investors become cautious → possible DSE gainers turning into losers.

2.4 Statement of Changes in Equity
What it shows: How equity changed during the period (new shares issued, dividends paid, profit transferred to reserves, etc.)
Key items to watch
- Dividend payout ratio = Dividends ÷ Net Profit
- Retained earnings growth
- Bonus / Rights issue impact
Significance
- High dividend payout + low retained earnings growth → limited reinvestment → future growth may slow
- Consistent dividend increase → sign of top value companies DSE
