Adjustment for Gains and Losses Gains Gains must be subtracted from net income to avoid double counting the gain. Losses Losses must be added to net income to avoid double counting the loss. Transactions that cause gains and losses should be classified on the cash flow statement depending on their dominate characteristics. For example, if the sale of equipment produced a gain, it would be classified as an investing activity.

Interpreting Cash Flows from Operating Activities Accounts Receivable Changes Managers sometimes attempt to boost declining sales by extending credit terms or by lowering credit standards. The resulting increase in accounts receivable can cause net income to outpace cash flows from operations. Inventory Changes Inventory growth can be a sign that planned sales growth did not materialize. A decline in inventory can be a sign that the company is anticipating lower sales in the next quarter.

Interpreting Cash Flows from Financing Activities The long-term growth of a company is normally financed from three sources: 1.internally generated funds, 2.the issuance of shares, and 3.money borrowed on a long-term basis. The statement of cash flows shows how management has elected to fund its growth. This information is used by analysts who wish to evaluate the capital structure and growth potential of a business.
