Balance Sheet: Assets
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-02-26), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-02-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-02-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-03-02), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-03-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2017-02-25).
The analysis of the annual financial data reveals distinct trends in the company's asset composition and overall financial positioning over the six-year period.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents exhibited a fluctuating pattern, starting at a high level in early 2017, then declining in 2018, peaking significantly in 2020 and 2021, before sharply decreasing in 2022. The peak in 2020 and 2021 may indicate a strategic liquidity holding or cash inflow, followed by a substantial reduction the following year.
- Short Term Investment Securities
- Short term investment securities data is partially missing. Where available, values increased markedly from 2018 to 2019, followed by a decrease in 2020, and then the data becomes unavailable, implying possible divestment or changes in reporting.
- Merchandise Inventories
- Merchandise inventories show a steady downward trend throughout the period, declining consistently each year from 2017 to 2021, with a slight increase in 2022. This may reflect inventory reduction strategies or changes in sales volume or supply chain management.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- This category fluctuated considerably, increasing from 2017 to 2018, then decreasing sharply in 2019 and 2020, followed by a notable rise in 2021 and a sharp decline again in 2022. The volatility suggests variations in advance payments or asset reclassifications impacting current assets.
- Assets Held-for-Sale
- Assets held-for-sale are only reported in 2020, indicating a one-time or temporary holding of assets pending disposal during that year.
- Current Assets
- Current assets remained relatively stable from 2017 through 2020, with a modest decrease in 2021 and a significant decline in 2022. This overall decrease, mainly pronounced in the final year, aligns with the reductions in cash and other current asset categories.
- Long Term Investment Securities
- Long term investment securities remained relatively stable and low throughout the years, showing little fluctuation, indicative of a consistent but small long-term investment position.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- Net property and equipment values declined steadily over the period, with a sharp decrease post-2019, indicating possible asset disposals, impairments, or reduced capital expenditures.
- Operating Lease Assets
- Operating lease assets were not reported until 2020, when they appeared at a substantial value, slightly decreasing over the subsequent two years. This reflects the implementation of new leasing accounting standards or acquisition of significant leased assets starting 2020.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill showed a decline from 2017 through 2019 and was not reported after 2019. This may suggest impairment write-downs or reclassification of intangible assets post-2019.
- Other Assets
- Other assets remained relatively stable through 2017 to 2020, with a reduction in 2021 and a further decrease by 2022, indicating possible asset disposals or reclassifications.
- Noncurrent Assets
- Noncurrent assets fluctuated across the period, with a notable increase in 2020, possibly due to the recognition of operating lease assets, followed by decreases in 2021 and 2022. The overall trend suggests significant asset base restructuring during this period.
- Total Assets
- Total assets reflected a general pattern of growth until 2020, reaching the highest point during that year, after which there was a marked decrease in 2021 and a further drop in 2022. The contraction in total assets after 2020 corresponds with decreases in both current and noncurrent asset categories.
