It has been widely speculated that Facebook will hold its IPO sometime in 2012. As we near the day when the giant social network files their S-1, revealing, at long last, the financials behind their operations, industry experts continue to speculate on exactly how much the company is worth and what they bring to the table for investors. After unearthing Facebook’s failed attempt to purchase Boston-based SCVNGR, which could have played a key role in establishing Facebook Deals, sources, who are former employees of Facebook, have said the company’s revenue for 2011 will be north of $5 billion and skyrocket to an estimated $9.2 billion in 2012. These financials paint a very optimistic view of the near future for Facebook after Reuters yesterday published a report claiming Facebook’s revenue for the first half of 2011 doubled to $1.6 billion . The revenue number, if held constant for the remainder of the year, would put 2011 totals at $3.2 billion.

Starting Wednesday, SharesPost is releasing an index that will track the values of seven startups over time.

Today on MBA Mondays we are going to talk about one of the most important things in business, the profit and loss statement (also known as the P&L). Picking up from the accounting post last week, there are two kinds of accounting entries; those that describe money coming into and out of your business, and money that is contained in your business. The P&L deals with the first category. A profit and loss statement is a report of the changes in the income and expense accounts over a set period of time. The most common periods of time are months, quarters, and years, although you can produce a P&L report for any period.
