NET CASH FLOW When we looked at the profit and loss account, the emphasis was on profit after tax (also called the bottom line). In finance, however, the focus is on cash flow. A firm’s cash flow generally differs from its profit after tax because some of the revenues/expenses shown on its profit and loss account may not have received /paid in cash during the year. The relationship between net cash flow and profit after tax is as follows: Net cash flow = Profit after tax – Non cash revenues + Non cash expenses Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
NET CASH FLOW An example of non cash revenue is accrued interest income that has not yet been received. It increases the bottom line but is not matched by a cash inflow during the accounting period – the cash inflow would occur in a subsequent period. An example of a non cash expense is depreciation. In practice, analysts defined the net cash flow as: Net cash flow = Profit after tax + Depreciation + Amortisation However, note that the above expression will not reflect net cash flow accurately if there are significant noncash items beyond depreciation and amortisation. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
ACCOUNTING INCOME VERSUS ECONOMIC INCOME • Accounting income diverges from economic income due to the following reasons: • Use of the accrual principle • Omission of changes in value • Depreciation • Treatment of R & D and advertising expenditures • Inflation • Creative accounting Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore

TAXES • Taxes may be divided into two broad categories : direct • taxes and indirect taxes. • A tax is a direct tax if the impact and incidence of the tax • is on the same person. Example : Income tax • A tax is an indirect tax if the impact is on one person but • through the process of shifting, the incidence is on • another. Example : Excise duty Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
CORPORATE INCOME TAX • A company’s taxable income is determined by taking into account its revenues, expenses, and deductions on account of various incentives and reliefs. The taxable income is subject to a tax rate of 30 percent for domestic companies and 40 percent for foreign companies. • While computing the taxable income, among other things, bear in mind the provisions relating to the following - depreciation, interest expense, dividend payment, dividend income, unabsorbed business loss and depreciation, exemptions and deductions, minimum alternate tax, and advance tax. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
CORPORATE INCOME TAX • • A variety of exemptions and deductions are granted • under the Income Tax Act. • If the income tax payable on the total income of a • company, as computed under the Income Tax Act, • is less than 10.0 percent of its book profit, the tax • payable shall be deemed to be 10.0 percent of such book • profit. • Advance tax is payable on the current income of the • company in four installments during the financial year. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
CORPORATE INCOME TAX • Depreciation is charged on blocks of assets which represent a group of assets within the broad class of assets such as buildings, plant, machinery, and furniture, for which a common rate of depreciation is applicable. • While interest on borrowings is a tax-deductible expense, dividend on share capital is not. • Unabsorbed business loss of any year can be carried forward and set off against income under the head of business of subsequent years. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
INDIRECT TAXES • The three most important indirect taxes are the excise duty, the sales tax, and the customs duty. • The excise duty is a levy on the goods manufactured in • the country. • Sales tax is a levy on “sale of goods.” • Customs duty is a levy on the import of goods into India • or the export of goods out of India. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
FREE CASH FLOW Free cash flow is the cash flow available for distribution to investors (lenders and shareholders) after the firm has made investments in fixed assets and working capital to support its operations. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
CASH FLOW SUMMARY • The cash flow identity • Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to lenders + Cash flow to shareholders • Cash flow from assets • Cash flow from assets = Operating cash flow – Net capital spending – • Change in net working capital • where • Operating cash flow = PBIT – Taxes + Depreciation • Capital spending = Ending net fixed assets – Beginning • net fixed assets + Depreciation • Change in net working capital = Ending net working capital – • Beginning net working capital • Cash flow to lenders • Cash flow to lenders = Interest paid – Net new borrowing • Cash flow to shareholders • Cash flow to shareholders = Dividends paid – Net new share capital • raised Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
SUMMING UP • The balance sheet shows the financial position (or condition) of a firm at a given • point of time. It provides a snapshot and may be regarded as a static picture. • The income statement (referred to in India as the profit and loss account) reflects • the performance of a firm over a period of time. The cash flow statement • portrays the flow of cash through the business during a given accounting period. • Assets are classified into following categories : (i) fixed assets, (ii) investments, • (iii) current assets, loans and advances, and (iv) miscellaneous expenditures and • losses. Liabilities are classified into the following categories : (i) share capital, • (ii) reserves and surplus, (iii) secured loans, (iv) unsecured loans, and (v) current • liabilities and provisions. • The important items in the profit and loss account are: (i) net sales, (ii) cost of • goods sold, (iii) gross profit, (iv) operating expenses, (v) operating profit, (vi) • non-operating surplus/deficit, (vii) profit before interest and tax, (viii) interest, • (ix) profit before tax, (x) tax and (xi) profit after tax. • The important topics in finance can be keyed to the balance sheet and the profit • and loss account.

From a financial point of view, a firm basically generates cash and spends cash. • The activities that generate cash are called sources of cash and the activities that • absorb cash are called uses of cash. Increase in owners' equity and liabilities and • decrease in assets represent sources of cash. Decrease in owners’ equity and • liabilities and increase in assets, on the other hand represent uses of cash. • To understand how cash flows have been influenced by various decisions, it is • helpful to classify cash flows into three categories: cash flows from operating • activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing • activities. • Corporate managements have discretion in influencing the occurrence, • measurement and reporting of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities. They • may use this latitude to manage the bottom line. • Taxes can be one of the major cash outflows for a firm. The magnitude of the tax • burden is determined by the tax code, which is subject to change. Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
Taxes may be divided into two broad categories: direct taxes and indirect taxes. • A tax is referred to as a direct tax if the impact and incidence of the tax is on the • same person. Income tax, wealth tax, and gift tax are examples of direct taxes. • A tax is regarded as an indirect tax if the impact and incidence of the tax is on • different persons. Excise duty, sales tax, and customs duty are the three • important indirect taxes. • We have a balance sheet identity which says that the value of a firm's assets is • equal to the value of its liabilities plus the value of its equity. In the same • manner we have a cash flow identity which says that : • Cash flow from assets = Cash flow to lenders + Cash flow to shareholders Centre for Financial Management , Bangalore
