Equity Section of the Statement of Financial Position Retained Earnings: This comprises the cumulative net income earned by the company that has not been distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.
The purpose of the statement of financial position is to summarise a company's assets (what it owns), liabilities (what it owes), and equity (assets less liabilities) on a particular date—usually at the end of a financial month, quarter, or year.
A statement of owner's equity is a one-page report showing the difference between total assets and total liabilities, resulting in the overall value of owner's equity. Tracked over a specific timeframe or accounting period, the snapshot shows the movement of cashflow through a business.
A balance sheet is a financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time. An income statement is a financial statement that reports a company's financial performance over a specific accounting period.
This figure is calculated by subtracting total liabilities from total assets; alternatively, it can be calculated by taking the sum of share capital and retained earnings, less treasury stock. This metric is frequently used by analysts and investors to determine a company's general financial health.

The value of owner's equity is derived in part from a company's assets, but owner's equity is not itself an asset. Owner's equity is calculated as the total value of a company's assets minus the company's liabilities. A company with higher assets than liabilities will show a positive owner's equity.
