What is a Balance Sheet?  What does it show?
The purpose of a Balance Sheet (also knows as a Statement of Financial Position) is to summarize the Assets, Liabilities and Equity position (Ownership-Net Worth) of the company at a specific point in time. The Assets must equal Liabilities plus Equity (Net Worth)
Assets = Liabilities + Equity

The Balance Sheet can classify assets and liabilities as short term or long term. 

It can indicate trends in these categories. Combined with the income Statement, you can do a ratio analysis that can indicate how well the company is being run, how strong it is and how it compares to similar operations.
