Appendix B Statement of Cash Flows

2
General Information on SCF

• Required for financial statements by SFAS 95
  (1987).
• Primary purpose is to provide relevant
  information about cash receipts and cash
  disbursements of the company during the year.
• Serves to complement the other financial
  statements.
• Focus is on cash flows, not income.
• Reconciles the balance sheet and the income
  statement.

Content of Statement of Cash Flows

• Explains change in cash and cash equivalents.
• Cash equivalents are defined as short-term,
  highly liquid investments near to maturity.
• Examples of cash equivalents are Treasury bills
  and money market funds.
• Format of SCF includes the following three
  sections
• A. Cash flow from operating activities.
• B. Cash flow from investing activities.
• C. Cash flow from financing activities.

A. Cash Flows from Operating Activities

• CF from operating activities is based on the
  income statement, and converts income activity to
  a cash basis in its presentation.
• There are two formats for the presentation of CF
  from operating activity
• direct method this technique shows cash received
  from customers and cash paid to various entities
  for operating activities.
• indirect method this technique starts with net
  income and makes adjustments to net income to
  convert it to a cash basis.

5
A. Cash Flows from Operating Activities

• If the direct method is used, the indirect method
  must be presented in a supplementary schedule.
• The direct method is more informative, but the
  vast majority of companies present only the
  indirect method.
• FASB is considering a change to require the
  direct method.

6
B. Cash Flows from Investing Activities

• CF from investing activities explain the changes
  in cash from the purchase or sale of the
  companys (primarily) long-term assets.
• Examples of investing activity includes
• cash paid for purchase of equipment, land,
  buildings, marketable securities
  (available-for-sale and equity), intangible
  assets, and most other long term assets.
• cash received from sale of equipment, land,
  buildings, marketable securities
  (available-for-sale and equity), intangible
  assets, and most other long term assets.

7
C. Cash Flows from Financing Activities

• CF from financing activities explain the changes
  in cash from the issue or retirement of the
  companys (primarily) long-term liabilities and
  equity.
• Examples of financing activity includes
• cash received from issue of bonds, mortgages and
  other long-term debt.
• cash received from issue of common stock and
  preferred stock.
• cash paid for the retirement of long-term debt.
• cash paid for the repurchase of treasury stock.
• cash paid for dividends.
• Note that cash paid for dividends is classified
  as a financing activity. However, cash paid for
  interest is classified as an operating activity.
  Also, cash received for dividends and cash
  received for interest are both classified as
  operating activities.

A. Cash Flow from Operations Components of
Indirect method

• To understand the adjustments to get from net
  income to CF from operations, we will classify
  the adjustments into 3 categories
• (1) Noncash items.
• (2) Double counted gains and losses.
• (3) Change in related (accrual basis) assets and
  liabilities
• Remember net income includes many activities
  that are noncash, or only partly cash.

9
(1) Indirect Method - Noncash Items

• Noncash activities include
• -Depreciation expense. For example
• Depreciation Expense xx
• Accumulated Depreciation xx
• -Amortization expense on intangible assets such
  as patents and goodwill.
• Amortization Expense xx
• Patent xx
• -Bad debt expense on the estimation of
  uncollectibles
• Bad Debt Expense xx
• Allowance for Doubtful Accts. xx
• Since these expenses originally reduced net
  income, the amount of these expenses would need
  to be added back to net income to get to cash
  from operations.

10
(2)Indirect Method - Double Counted Items

• The double counted items come from gains and
  losses on investing and financing activity.
• For example, assume that land is sold for 10,000
  cash, and the original cost was 9,000
• Cash 10,000
• Land 9,000 Gain on Sale of Land 1,000
• In this case, the 10,000 cash received would be
  shown in Investing. However, if the gain is not
  adjusted out of net income, we would be double
  counting that effect.

11
(2)Indirect Method - Double Counted Items

• Therefore, any gains or losses from sale of
  investing assets (equipment, land, buildings, AFS
  and equity investments, intangibles). The
  adjustment to reverse out the effects would be
• add the amount of loss to net income.
• subtract the amount of the gain from net income.
• The same holds true for gains and losses from the
  early extinguishment of debt (like the
  gains/losses from the retirement of bonds).
• add the amount of loss to net income.
• subtract the amount of the gain from net income.
  

12
(3) Indirect Method - Change in Related Assets
and Liabilities

• The third category examines the change in the
  assets and liabilities that relate to the
  remaining income statement items, after the items
  in (1) and (2) have been removed.
• The adjustment for the effect of these changes is
  to effectively squeeze the income statement
  item from the accrual basis of accounting to the
  cash basis of accounting.

13
(3) Indirect Method - Change in Related Assets
and Liabilities

• For example, assume that total sales revenue
  recognized for the year is 100,000. At the
  beginning of the year, A/R were 2,000 at the
  end of the year, A/R were 3,000.
• What amount of cash was collected from customers?
• To analyze this effect, we must analyze the A/R
  account, and how it is increased and decreased.

(3) Indirect Method - Change in Related Assets
and Liabilities
Accounts Receivable
First assume that all sales are on account. Now
note that the relationship can be expressed in a
formula involving A/R and Sales
Beginning Balance Sales
Cash Collection on A/R
Ending Balance
A/RBeginning Sales - Cash Collections
A/REnding
Or
A/RBeginning Sales - A/REnding Cash
Collections
15
(3) Indirect Method - Change in Related Assets
and Liabilities

• A/RB Sales - A/RE Cash Collections
• 2,000 100,000 - 3,000 Cash Collections
• 99,000 Cash Collections
• Note that, to convert from accrual basis sales
  revenues to cash basis sales revenues, an
  increase in A/R should be subtracted from net
  income to convert net income to a cash basis.
• Correspondingly, a decrease in A/R should be
  added to net income to convert net income to a
  cash basis.

16
(3) Indirect Method - Change in Related Assets
and Liabilities

• This pair of rules can be expanded to a general
  set of rules to convert NI from accrual to cash
  basis
• Subtract increases in related assets.
• Add decreases in related assets.
• Add increases in related liabilities.
• Subtract decreases in related liabilities.
• Assets Opposite Liabilities Same AOLS
• The types of assets that relate to the income
  statement are primarily current assets, but not
  always. To decide, you must look at each asset
  and its related income statement component.
  Also, remember that we are looking at the
  remaining assets and liabilities (after the
  eliminations in part 1). Since we have already
  eliminated depreciation expense and amortization
  expense, etc., we would not include the changes
  in these related assets (Accum. Depr., Patents,
  etc.).

17
(3) Indirect Method - Change in Related Assets
and Liabilities

• Examples of related assets are
• Accounts Receivable.
• Dividends Receivable (relates to dividend
  income).
• Inventories.
• Prepaid Expenses.
• Deferred Tax Assets (because this relates to
• income tax expense).
• Examples of related liabilities include
• Accounts Payable.
• Interest Payable.
• Income Tax Payable.
• Other Current Liabilities.
• Unearned Revenues (short and long term).
• Deferred Tax Liabilities (because this relates
  to
• income tax expense).

Additional Issues - SCF

• The FASB requires that significant noncash
  investing and financing activities be disclosed
  in a supplementary schedule to the SCF.
• Examples of significant noncash investing and
  financing activities include
• 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.

22
Operating Cash Flow versus Net Income

• A simple metric can capture the relative
  difference between operating cash flow and net
  income
• Operating Cash Flow
• Net Income
• If this ratio is less than one (or negative), the
  implication is that there has been significant
  noncash activity, and may indicate a potential
  (think Chainsaw Al) manipulation.
