沃伦·巴菲特:伯克希尔 1978 年致股东信·补录 1

沃伦·巴菲特《伯克希尔·哈撒韦 1978 年致股东信》· 1978 Chairman's Letter · 投资

First, a few words about accounting. The merger with Diversified Retailing Company, Inc. at yearend adds two new complications in the presentation of our financial results. After the merger, our ownership of Blue Chip Stamps increased to approximately 58% and, therefore, the accounts of that company must be fully consolidated in the Balance Sheet and Statement of Earnings presentation of Berkshire. In previous reports, our share of the net earnings only of Blue Chip had been included as a single item on Berkshire's Statement of Earnings, and there had been a similar one-line inclusion on our Balance Sheet of our share of their net assets.

白话

首先谈谈会计。年底与多元化零售公司合并后,财务报告出现两个新复杂点。合并后,我们对蓝筹邮票公司的持股增至约58%,因此该公司的账目必须完全合并到伯克希尔的资产负债表和收益表中。在之前的报告中,我们仅将蓝筹邮票的净收益份额作为单列项目计入伯克希尔的收益表,资产负债表也类似地单列我们应占的净资产份额。这提醒我们,当持股比例超过50%时,会计处理会从权益法转为全面合并,报表数字会大变,但经济实质未必改变。

你是否能区分会计数字变化和实际经济状况?在分析公司时,是否关注实质而非形式?
