What does tangible net worth means?

Net worth means the cost (amount paid at the purchase date plus any capitalized costs like major improvements) offset by the accumulated depreciation/amortization.

For example, you purchase a building for $1m and made a major improvements of 500k. The cost of the tangible asset is on the balance sheet for 1.5m. Then as time goes by you will depreciate the building based on its expected life. Let's say the building has a ten year life then you will depreciate 150k every year.

Two years from the purchase/improvement date, you have the cost of $1.5m and the accumulated depreciation of $300k. the net worth of the building is $1.2m

While the word 'unqualified' may seem to have a negative spin on it, it is actually the best type of audit report a company can receive.

What does chargeback item mean on bank statement?

Could mean a few things. Could mean you have sold something that the buyer never received and you were charged back for the money they payed you. It could also mean you cashed a check at your bank that was refused by the bank on which it was written and so your bank has charged you back with the money you received.

This is becoming a real problem for people involved in online auction selling as the charge-back is just applied on the say so of the buyer. Consequently, some people are receiving the goods then claiming not to have done so and getting a refund leaving them with the goods and the money. Even proof of delivery seems insufficient to reverse this decision and if someone says they didn't authorise the use of the credit card, the charge-back happens automatically. Seller beware as I speak from personal experience.
