So far the discussion has covered the financial figures and various developments from them. But the financial figures are only a shorthand for the company itself. Although most liabilities are financial in nature, most assets are not and the features in a company’s business which affect its earning capacity, its risk and its ability to withstand risk must be carefully related to the financial figures.
