Today we will attempt to explain how a piggy backed interest can be detected. We talked about total enterprise value being the outstanding shares. This is not authorized shares. Let me explain my self.

If you take treasury stock ie: shares issued too support bank debt or collateralized debt out of the outstanding shares total shares the balance should be the remaining deficit. Don’t include capital surplus. Capital surplus is revenue from the trading activities of the company minus administrative fees paid. It is regarded as an enterprise in it self and is part of the enterprise value. The enterprise is the ship mentioned that is controlled by the interest mentioned. What we are interested in is the parties that the company has no control of except the use of diplomatic diplomacy unless there involved in using illegal pressures.


If you add up company’s debt the value should equal the outstanding debt. To balance that debt you have too remove payables and treasury stock giving you the issued debt from the enterprise debt or outstanding shares.

If you now add up the values of all the debts including share holders debt the sum becomes larger then the outstanding enterprise debt. The difference should be the accounts receivable value.

The problem is it can be more then the receivables or less.

Less is often attributed too incomplete projects that can be worry some. Then there is risk in stepping backward to step ahead.

But what if it’s larger then the noted receivables. Because of liability issues most projects are done outside the enterprise it self. As you saw receivables are controllable by a judiciary process but what is not always controllable is new adventures and there supporters. Yes folks if you got this far you will of discovered that retained earnings plus capital surplus is part and parcel of your deficit. If the retained earnings is less then the administration fees the piggy back shares are loosing money. This does not mean that the enterprise it self is in jeopardy. If your revenue is greater then the cost ie: depreciated assets then there is positive revenue cash flow.

Revenue cash flow is not to be mistaken with cash flow. Cash flow comes from two sources receivables and debt for the receivables.

Receivables is a combination of depreciated assets and gross revenue.


I hope this clarifies things but don’t take our word. We are here for the trade.
