Sharpen your pencils folks, because we're plunging headlong into A.K.A Brands Holding’s balance sheet. Now, every eagle-eyed investor knows that basic earnings per share (EPS) is a good barometer of business health. For this stock, it's got a bit of a cold with a negative EPS of -6.58. Many casual investors might stop there, but we're going beyond the headline data.

Notice that the operating income loss is at a whopping -$70,349,000. That's sending up red flags already. Also, take a quick look at the operating expenses, a chunky $148,317,000, which seems to be making a significant dent in the revenues standing at $140,833,000.

But what about the assets? Ah, you've got a keen eye! A.K.A Brands holds a substantial $276,8000 in fixed assets, $663,45000 in intangible assets, and a noteworthy $99,950,000 in inventory. There are also ‘Other current assets’ to the tune of $54,213,000 and a generous $130,217,000 in ‘other non-current assets’. That makes a grand total of $378,405,000 in assets, impressive isn't it?

Wait though, before we get carried away, we need to look at the liabilities. So, gather up your calculators because this is a biggie. A.K.A Brands is looking at $88,148,000 in current liabilities, another $106,685,000 in long-term debt, and $29,354,000 in ‘other noncurrent liabilities’. Add to this ‘other current liabilities’ of $ 60,668,000, and the liability column totals up to $224,187,000. Ouch!

From this monetary tug of war between assets and liabilities, we're left with equity valued at $154,218,000. Now, if we peer at the actual money flow, the net cash from operating activities stands at $10,752,000, but sadly, the net cash flow is a negative -$5,273,000.

So, summing it up, despite an impressive array of assets, the company's liabilities and negative cash flow are worrying. Is it undervalued? Perhaps. Is it a perfect stock pick? Certainly not. Therefore, it'd be wise not to overlook these details while considering this investment. Remember, great investors aren't just born; they're made at the corner of Detailed Analysis Street and Patience Avenue!
