Consolidated Financial Statement Page

See Also...

The Consolidated Financial Statement appears in small business applications. Your financial institution determines whether a financial statement is required, optional, or not-applicable on a product by product basis.

For best results: Enter full financial statements (income statement and balance sheet) in order to get the most accurate scoring results and to ensure that the most appropriate credit policies are applied. If you only have a partial financial statement, it is best not to enter any information here.

Note: In the case of a sole proprietorship, you will most likely have only an income statement and no balance sheet available for the business. We recommend that you do not enter business financial information in this type of application. Instead, enter the income information as part of the financial data for the principal for the most accurate scoring results.

Click the business_menu_icon.gif icon at the right end of the business subsection heading bar and choose Open Consolidated Statements to open the Consolidated Financial Statement page and enter one or more financial statement periods for this business applicant.

If at least one product on the application is configured to use Baker Hill Statement Analyzer for statement spreading, click the business_menu_icon.gif icon and choose the Spread Statements option to launch Baker Hill Statement Analyzer and begin editing the historical statement for this client.

Note: If the business client has not yet been associated with a client record in Baker Hill Statement Analyzer, the Search for Statement Analyzer Customer Dialog Box is displayed, allowing you to search for an existing client or create a new one and begin spreading statements.

Statement Analyzer Integration

Your institution has the option of licensing the Baker Hill Statement Analyzer solution to be used in conjunction with Baker Hill Bank2Business. This provides you with the option to enable integration of the Baker Hill Statement Analyzer statement spreading capabilities with Bank2Business.

When enabled, the integration allows your institution to specify whether Baker Hill Statement Analyzer should be used for collecting financial data on a product-by-product basis. If a product that uses Baker Hill Statement Analyzer is added to a Bank2Business application, the integration changes some of the functionality available on the Consolidated Financial Statement page. Each of the sections that follow describe different features of the Consolidated Financial Statement page, along with an indication of whether Baker Hill Statement Analyzer integration is required for access to the feature.

Note: Statements spread in Baker Hill Statement Analyzer include a number of detail lines and “other” lines that are not represented in the summary statement presented on the Bank2Business Consolidated Financial Statement page. The way in which the Statement Analyzer rows are mapped into the Consolidated Financial Statement depends on the industry in which the statement is spread. Please refer to the mapping table for details on how the data is consolidated for a particular industry.

Required or Optional Financial Information

For each Bank2Business product, the Business Financial Information section can be required or optional. If Baker Hill Statement Analyzer integration is enabled, each product has the additional option of requiring Baker Hill Statement Analyzer to enter the financial data. These settings affect the way the Consolidated Financial Page behaves when you create a new application, as described in the following.

Creating and Spreading a Statement

Use the steps that follow to create and spread a financial statement using the Consolidated Financial Statement page.

Note: These steps apply to the standard Consolidated Financial Statement only. They do not apply if you are using Statement Analyzer to spread statements.

  1. Click Create Statement at the bottom of the page. The New Period Information dialog box displays.

  2. Type the closing date of the statement period in the Period Ending field, or use the calendar tool to select the date. The Number of Months field defaults to 12, but you can change this value as needed to enter a partial statement.

    Click Accept to create the statement and first period.

  3. The statement and period are generated as a table. The end date of the period and the number of months appear in the name of the period at the top of the column.

    • To enter values in any field on the statement, click the cell in the period you want to change, and type the value.

    • To save the value and move to another cell, press Enter or one of the arrow keys.

    Note: The user interface does not recognize parentheses when used to indicate a negative value. Use the dash character (-) before the number, as in -500, to enter a negative number.

  4. For any line item cell in the statement, you can right-click on the cell and choose Explain to open a comment dialog box.

    Note: The Explain option is not available for total and calculated cells in the statement.

  5. In the comment dialog box for the line you selected, enter a description of the “other” value in the text box. Click Accept to save your comment and return to the statement.

    Any cell that has an associated comment is marked with a yellow highlight. Use your mouse cursor to hover over the cell to see the comment text. Right-click the cell and choose the Explain option again to modify the text.

  6. When you have finished spreading the statement, click Save at the bottom of the Consolidated Financial Statement page.

    Note: None of the changes you make on this page, including creating and deleting periods, is saved to the application until you click Save.

Statement Calculations

The Total Current Assets, Total Assets, Total Current Liabilities, Total Liabilities, Total Equity, Income Before Taxes, and Net Income fields in the Consolidated Financial Statement are calculated by the system — the system automatically completes these fields based on what you entered for other fields.

Working with Statement Periods

Right click on the heading cell for any period to see the options available for working with statement periods.

Note: These options apply to the standard Consolidated Financial Statement only. They are not available if you are using Baker Hill Statement Analyzer to spread statements.

Note: Any changes you make in the Consolidated Financial Statement, including the addition and deletion of periods, are not saved to the application until you click Save at the bottom of the page.
