Best Answer

The Income Statement is the financial report that calculates net income (profits) so that is one place to look for the reason behind low profits. However, if the company doesn't have enough cash or other resources or it has too much debt, it could cause them to miss opportunities for sales or for financing to get the necessary resources.

The structure of the income statement is:

+ Revenue

- Costs of Goods Sold (direct cost of the product sold above)

___________________

= Gross Profit

- Operating Expenses (related to usual costs of running of business)

_____________________

= Operating Profit

+ Other Income (gains on sale of assets or other unusual "money in")

- Other Expenses (losses on sale of assets or other unusual "money out")

______________________

Net Profit (Income)
