Broussard Skateboard's sales are expected to increase by 25% from $7.2 million in 2013 to $9.00 million in 2014. Its assets totaled $6 million at the end of 2013.

At the end of 2013, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 65%.
