  2. Before Reviewing Statements Consider the Source History - Merchant’s need for additional share capital • Balance of Estate becomes Balance Sheet and the continuous corporation is born. • East India Company in 1600 Societal considerations • Open versus Close • China versus the U.S. Look at stock ownership in the society? • Population investment levels differ widely across countries. • 6.3% in Germany, 23% in UK and 56% in U.S. as of 6/30/11 according to the Deutsches Aktien-Institute Blue Point Investment Management

  3. Before Reviewing the Statement Consider the Source Value of Auditor Opinions • Is it qualified? Above all do not forget your claims position. IFRS versus U.S. GAAP • The importance of IFRS will grow as the role of global markets grow. In 2011 46% of S&P 500 company revenue came from outside the U.S. Blue Point Investment Management

  4. Before Reviewing the Statement Consider the Source Some important differences between IFRS & GAAP • R&D is capitalized versus expensed. • Asset impairments are more likely under IFRS with single step impairment. • Extraordinary items are not recognized on the income statement. • Control versus financial stake is the basis of consolidation.
