Archer's assets? Sitting pretty at $539.6 million, like a Monopoly player who owns both Boardwalk and Park Place. But, dig deeper, folk. The sizzle is in the detail - $390,000 in prepaid expenses and $471.8 million in other current assets. Translation? There's money set aside for future costs and these big-brained aviators have assets they expect to turn into cold, hard cash within a year.

Equity, like a good rock band, is the balance sheet's backbone. Archer's is standing tall at $364.5 million, which is music to any value investor's ears. This tells you shareholders' investments and retained earnings paint a rosy picture. But remember, handcuffs shine too, so always dig deep.

Now let's chat liabilities - that nasty L-word. Archer is carrying $175.1 million. Yeah, debt can be a fun-sucker, but it isn't all doom and gloom. Our friends in Archer's accounting office have split this into $117 million of current liabilities and $58.1 million noncurrent. A close look tells us they’ve got $15.6 million in accounts payable, $14.1 million in wages, and a whopping $87.3 million in other current liabilities. In man-on-the-street speak, that’s money needed to keep the lights on in the short term.

Noncurrent liabilities - the equivalent of your buddy who keeps borrowing more beer money whenever he wins a round at pool - are $58.1 million, including $2.3 million of long-term debt and $55.8 million of other noncurrent liabilities. Simply put, these are debts not due for at least a year.

Here's where things get a bit gloomy - a net income loss of $51.6 million. Enough to replace any top-tier sci-fi flick's popcorn with tears. It underscores the importance of revenue generation - 'cause Archer's got nil.

In the cash flow hood, Archer reports net cash flow from operating activities at a loss of $66.8 million. Hold onto your hats, this is money spent on the day-to-day of running the show.

In conclusion, smarty pants, Archer is backed by solid assets and equity, saddled with debt, and losing money faster than a clumsy magician. What's our takeaway?
