Income Statement

The income statement reports a company's income or loss for a specific period. It lists revenues and subtracts from them the period's expenses. A positive balance results in an income and a negative balance indicates a loss. In the example below revenues of $6,000 minus expenses of $3,000 results in a net income of $3,000. This figure is used on the Statement of Owner's Equity.
