In order to know if companies are conservatively financed I query an API that gives me the financial information. Yet when if the information it gives for the current assets, I can't understand what are the non current assets. For instance this is the balance sheet of Microsoft:

>>> from yahooquery import Ticker
>>> ticker = Ticker("MSFT")
>>> ticker.balance_sheet()

        maxAge  endDate     cash    shortTermInvestments    netReceivables  inventory   otherCurrentAssets  totalCurrentAssets  longTermInvestments     propertyPlantEquipment  goodWill    intangibleAssets    otherAssets     deferredLongTermAssetCharges    totalAssets     accountsPayable     shortLongTermDebt   otherCurrentLiab    longTermDebt    otherLiab   totalCurrentLiabilities     totalLiab   commonStock     retainedEarnings    treasuryStock   otherStockholderEquity  totalStockholderEquity  netTangibleAssets

I try to sum the totalCurrentAssets with the rest, which I guess are the non current assets?

sum(df.iloc[0, cols.get_loc('totalCurrentAssets')+1: cols.get_loc('totalAssets')].to_dict().values()) + df['totalCurrentAssets'][0]

And it gives me 294092000000, which is higher than totalAssets which is 286556000000

Note that 294,092,000,000 - 286,556,000,000 = 7,536,000,000, which is the exact value of "deferredLongTermAssetCharges".

If you exclude that column, then totalAssets equals totalCurrentAssets plus the 5 columns after that.

So in that dataset, non-current assets would be the sum of:

longTermInvestments
propertyPlantEquipment
goodWill
intangibleAssets
otherAssets

or just totalAssets - totalCurrentAssets
