Chapters 4 B
Statement of Cash Flows

2. Objectives of this Chapter
I. Identify business activities which can generate or use cash and differentiate between income flows (i.e., accrual basis) and cash flows from operating activities.
II. The Importance and the usefulness of the statement of cash flows.
Statement of Cash Flows

3. Objectives of this Chapter (contd.)
III. Learn how to prepare the statement of cash flows.
VI. The “cash burn rate” and the use of this rate in evaluating the financial viability of start-up companies.
V. Learn the two alternatives (direct and indirect methods) in preparing net cash flows from operating activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

4. Statement of Cash Flows
I. Activities which can either generate cash or use cash for a business entity
A. Operating activities.
B. Investing activities.
C. Financing activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

5. A. Operating Activities (i.e., sales revenue, expenses)
All these activities are reported in the I/S (income statement). However, I/S only provides the accrual-basis net income (revenue –expense + gains – losses ) which very often is not the change in cash.
Therefore, we need to adjust from net income flows to cash flows in order to report the net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

6. A. Operating Activities (contd.)
There are two approaches to reconcile net income to net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities:
1. Indirect Method
==> Lump-Sum Adjustment
2. Direct Method
==> Individual Account Adjustment
Statement of Cash Flows

7. Statement of Cash Flows
1. Indirect Method
Adjust net income (the lump sum amount of all revenues and expenses) for all differences between income flows and cash flows.
Statement of Cash Flows

8. Statement of Cash Flows
2. Direct Method
Adjust each revenue account to cash collection and adjust each expense account to cash payment. Subtract total cash payments from total cash collections to derive net cash flows of the operation activities.
SFAS No. 95 allows a choice between the direct and indirect approach for the cash flow statement
Statement of Cash Flows

9. Cash flows from operating activities
Cash Inflows:
1. Collections from customers including cash received from sales (or services) and collections of A/R.
2. Cash receipts of interests or dividends.
3. Collections of other operating receipts (i.e., unearned revenue, rent revenue).
Statement of Cash Flows

10. Cash Flows from Operating Activities (contd.)
Cash Outflows:
1. Payments to suppliers.
2. Payments to employees.
3. Payments for interest expense.
4. Payments for income taxes.
5. Payments for other expenses(i.e., Prepaid expenses; rent expenses).
Statement of Cash Flows

11. Statement of Cash Flows
Activities which can either generate cash or use cash for a business entity
A. Operating activities.
B. Investing activities.
C. Financing activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

12. B. Investing Activities
In addition to generate cash from or use cash in the operating activities, companies can also generate cash from (or use cash in) investing activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

13. Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Transactions involving acquiring (Investing (Cash outflows)) and selling (Disinvesting (Cash inflows)) :
a. Property, Plant and Equipment.
b. Investments (current and non-current).
c. Notes Receivable (current and non-current).
Statement of Cash Flows

14. Statement of Cash Flows
Notes Receivable
Notes Receivable (current and non-current), including:
Lending money (N/R , cash outflow);
Collecting of loan (N/R , cash inflow);
Selling of N/R (N/R, discounting N/R, cash inflow)
Statement of Cash Flows

15. Statement of Cash Flows
Activities which can either generate cash or use cash for a business entity
A. Operating activities.
B. Investing activities.
C. Financing activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

16. C. Financing Activities
Companies can also generate cash or use cash through financing activities:
Statement of Cash Flows

17. Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Obtaining resources from owners and creditors (cash inflows) and repaying the amount borrowed (cash outflows).
Cash inflows:
Cash received from issuance of common stock.
Cash received from issuance of bonds.
Cash received from issuance of N/P (short-term or long term).
Statement of Cash Flows

18. Cash Flows from Financing Activities (contd.)
Cash Outflows:
Retirement of bonds.
Retirement of stock.
Payments of N/P.
Payments of dividends.
Statement of Cash Flows

19. II. The Importance and Usefulness of the Statement of Cash Flows
Possible earnings managements may result in unreliable accrual earnings.
Accrual accounting relies on many subjective judgments that may introduce measurement error and uncertainty into reported earnings.
One-time write-offs and restructuring charges can reduce the quality of reported earnings.
For these reasons, analysts scrutinize a firm’s cash flows—not just its accrual earnings—to evaluate performance and creditworthiness.

20. The Importance and Usefulness of the Statement of Cash Flows (cont.)
In order to show cash flows of a company, cash flows of all three activities should be reported.
In doing so, investors can also obtain all the information of operating, investing, and financing activities of a company. Moreover, the following questions can also be answered:
Statement of Cash Flows

21. Statement of Cash Flows
The Importance and the Usefulness of the Statement of Cash Flows (contd.)
1. What is the relationship between net income and cash provided by operations?
2. Why did cash decreased when net income increased?
3. What expansion (investment) activities took place and how were they financed?
Statement of Cash Flows

22. Statement of Cash Flows
The Importance and the Usefulness of the Statement of Cash Flows (contd.)
4. How much is the cash provided by operating activities?
5. What happened to the proceeds received from issuance of bonds or common stock?
All of these cannot be answered from either the income statement or the balance sheet statement.
Statement of Cash Flows

23. Statement of Cash Flows
SFAS No. 95
To improve the comparability, SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” requires companies present the statement of cash flows using a specific format.
Statement of Cash Flows

24. Statement of Cash Flows
SFAS No. 95 (contd.)
Following SFAS No. 95, the statement of cash flows should have three sections:
1. Cash flows from operating activities (using a direct or an indirect method).
2. Cash flows from investing activities.
3. Cash flows from financing activities.

1. Direct Exchange
Direct exchange: An example of a direct exchange is issuing bonds to acquire a building. This transaction should appear in the supplementary schedule of the cash flow statement as an investing activity (i.e., acquisition of building) and as a financing activity (i.e., issue bonds for building).
Statement of Cash Flows

60. 2. Partial Cash Investing and Financing Activities
Example: acquiring land costing $10,000 by paying $1,000 down and signing a $9,000 notes payable.

conversion of bonds to stock.
purchase of assets with issue of stock.
purchase of assets with debt.
declaration (but not payment) of cash dividend.
stock dividends and stock splits.

(1)No impact on cash of the current year; only increase dividends payable (D/P).
(2)When D/P decrease next year, reported as a cash outflow of financing activity.
Statement of Cash Flows

65. IV. Cash Burn Rate (Source: RCJ textbook)
The ability to generate positive operating cash flow is critical to the survival and success of any company.
This is particularly true for start-up companies:
Cash is essential for establishing the business and for growth.
Investment outlays are often large.
Operating cash flows are negative.
Cash burn rate is a popular metric for assessing how quickly a start-up firm will consume its cash reserves:
Cash used for operations
Cash used for capital expenditures or acquisitions +
Cash burn rate =
# of months covered by cash flow statement

66. Cash burn rate: Amazon.com illustration
Months to burnout:
= - ($119,782 + $50,321 +$6,198)/12 months = -$14,692 per month
= $996,585/14,692 = 67.8 months

67. Cash burn rate: Selected companies

68. V. Cash Flows from the Operating Activities ( the Direct Method)
Activities can be presented using:
a. Indirect Method (as used in examples 1,2,and 3):
N/I  Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash flows.
b. Direct Method: The operating cash outflows are deducted from the operating cash inflows to determine the net cash provided by (or used in) operating activities.
Statement of Cash Flows

69. Cash Flows from the Operating Activities (contd.)
SFAS No. 95 allows the use of both methods, but encourages the use of the direct method. However, if the direct method is used, a reconcile of net income and cash using the indirect method must also be provided in the supplementary statement.

70. Using The Direct Method in Preparing The Operating Cash Flows
Cash inflows from operating activities:
1. Collections from customers.
2. Interest & dividends collected.
3. Other operating receipts.
