    Business Revenue includes receipts from core business operations. Interest Income and Other income (such as rents and royalties) are

    generally detailed separately below Operating Income. While Business Revenue is separated from Interest Income for most classifications,

    Business Revenue includes interest income from the private sector where i t is central to financial industry operations, including Finance and

    Insurance (NAICS 52xxxx except NAICS 5242xx Insurance Brokers and Other Insurance Activities); Real Estate-Rental-Leasing (53xxxx); and

    Management of Companies and Enterprises (55xxxxx).

    Cost of Sales includes materials and labor involved in the direct delivery of a product or service. Other costs are included in the cost of sales

    to the extent that they are involved in bringing goods to their location and condition ready to be sold. Non-production overheads such as

    development costs may be attributable to the cost of goods sold. The costs of services provided will consist primarily of personnel directly

    engaged in providing the service, including supervisory personnel and attributable overhead.

    Gross Margin represents direct operating expenses plus net profit. In addition to the labor portion of Cost of Sales, wage costs are reflected

    in the Officers Compensation and Wages-Salary line items. In many cases, SG&A (Sales, General and Administrative) costs also include

    some overhead, administrative and supervisory wages.

    Rent covers the rental cost of any business property, including land, buildings and equipment.

    The Taxes paid line item includes payroll other paid-in tax items, but not business income taxes due for the period. Although it canbe calculated in many ways and is a controversial measure, the EBITDA line item (Earnings before Interest Expense, income tax

    due, Depreciation and Amortization) adds back interest payments, depreciation, amortization and depletion allowances, andexcludes income taxes due to reduce the effect of accounting decisions on the bottom line of the Profit and Loss Statement. Since

    some firms utilize EBITDA to "add back" non-cash and flexible expenses which may be altered through credits and accounting

    procedures (such as income tax), paid-in income taxes from the Taxes Paid line item are not added back in the EBITDA calculation.

    Pre-Tax Net Profit represents net profit before income tax due. Income Tax calculates the federal corporate tax rate before credits,

    leaving After-Tax Profit at the bottom line.

    Advertising includes advertising, promotion and publicity for the reporting business, but not on behalf of others.

    Benefits-Pension includes, but is not limited to, employee health care and retirement costs.

    In addition to varying proportions of overhead, administrative and supervisory wages, some generally more minor expenses are

    aggregated under SG&A (Sales, General and Administrative).

    Operating Expenses sums the individual expense line items above, yielding the Operating Income or net of core business operations, when

    subtracted from the Gross Margin.

    Sources and Uses: The Sources and Uses of Funds table tests the accuracy of the balance sheet and distinguishes the sources offunds from their use. It is the basic worksheet preliminary to a formal cash flow statement examining the liquidity of a business. A

    multi-year industry benchmark common size balance sheet, which includes overlapped but not identical sets of firms in each year, is

    not well-suited for the presentation of a formal cash flow analysis.

    Total Liabilities: Net Worth (%) 1.66 1.56 3.83 1.05 1.07

    Accounts Payable: Business Revenue: Accounts Payable divided by Annual Business Revenue, measuring the speed with which a

    company pays vendors relative to Business Revenue. Numbers higher than typical industry ratios suggest that the company may be using

    suppliers to float operations.

    Current Liabilities: Inventory: Current Liabilities divided by Inventory: A high ratio, relative to industry norms, suggests over-reliance on

    unsold goods to finance operations.

    Current Liabilities: Net Worth: Current Liabilities divided by Net Worth, reflecting a level of security for creditors. The larger the ratio relative

    to industry norms, the less security there is for creditors.

    Current Ratio: This is the same as Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities, measuring current assets available to cover current

    liabilities, a test of near-term solvency. The ratio indicates to what extent cash on hand and disposable assets are enough to pay off near term

    liabilities. The Quick Ratio is applied as a more stringent test.

    Days Payables: 365/(Cost of Sales: Accounts Payable ratio): Reflects the average number of days for each payable before payment is made.

    Quick Ratio: Cash plus Accounts Receivable, divided by Current Liabilities, indicating liquid assets available to cover current debt. Also

    known as the Acid Ratio. This is a harsher version of the Current Ratio, which balances short-term liabilities against cash and liquid

    instruments.

    Total Liabilities: Net Worth: Total liabilities divided by Net Worth. This ratio helps to clarify the impact of long-term debt, which can be seen by

    comparing this ratio with Current Liabilities: Net Worth. Creditors are concerned to the extent that total liability levels exceed Net Worth.

    EBITDA: EBITDA: Business Revenue: Earnings Before Interest, (income) Taxes due, Depreciation and Amortization divided by Business

    Revenue. EBITDA: Business Revenue is a relatively controversial (and often criticized) metric designed to eliminate the effect of finance and

    accounting decisions when comparing companies and industry benchmarks. Tax credits and deferral procedures and non-cash expenditures

    (Amortization and Depreciation) are not deducted from the profit equation, as are interest expenditures.

    Return on Assets: Pre-Tax or After Tax Net Profit divided by Total Assets, a critical indicator of profitability. Companies which use their assets

    efficiently will tend to show a ratio higher than the industry norm. The ratio may appear higher for small businesses due to ownercompensation draws accounted as net profit.

    Return on Net Worth: Pre-Tax or After Tax Net Profit divided by Net Worth. This is the 'final measure' of profitability to evaluate overall return.

    This ratio measures return relative to investment, how well a company leverages the investment in it. May appear higher for small businesses

    due to owner compensation draws accounted as net p rofit.

    Return on Business Revenue: Pre-Tax or After Tax Net Profit Net Profit divided by Annual Business Revenue, indicating the level of profit

    from each dollar of Business Revenue. This ratio can be used as a predictor of the company's ability to withstand changes in prices or market

    conditions. May appear higher for small businesses due to owner compensation draws accounted as net profit.

    About the Data

    Raw data analyzed for BizMiner reports is sourced from an array of the nation's government and private statistical sources. None of these raw

    data sources creates the final measures reflected in BizMiner industry profiles. In total, BizMiner accesses over a billion sourced data points

    from 15 million business operations for each of its twice annual updates covering a 3-5 year time series. Historical data and BizMiner

    algorithms are used to inform and test projections for non-reporting firms. Data elements are sourced specifically from:

    While 100% firm coverage is desirable for analysis purposes, the greatest value of BizMiner reports rests in discerning patterns of activity,

    which are reflected in the large samples used to develop our reports. The overall current coverage of the databases surpasses 13 million

    active business operations at any point in time.

    As is the case with any databases this large, some errors are inevitable. Some firms are missed and specific information on others is lacking

    from the database. Not all information received is uniform or complete, resulting in the need to develop projection algorithms for specific

    industry segments and metrics in some report series. No representation is made as to the accuracy of the databases utilized or the results of

    subsequent analyses. Neither the Brandow Company nor its resellers has undertaken independent primary research to confirm the accuracy

    of the data utilized in the Profile analyses. Neither the Brandow Company nor i ts resellers are responsible for conclusions drawn or decisions

    made based upon this data or analysis. In no event will the Brandow Company or its resellers be liable for any damages, direct, indirect,

    incidental or consequential resulting from the use of the information contained in BizMiner reports.
