5. The importance of cash
Profit is opinion, cash is fact
COMPANIES CAN LIE, BUT CASH CAN’T
Thursday, 28 March, 13
6. Opinion in the P&L
✤ Revenue booked at time of sale
✤ Length of useful life of fixed assets
✤ Some expenses might be capitalized as assets
✤ Sales to related entities recorded as ordinary revenue
✤ Non-operating or “Other” income
✤ “Extraordinary” or “one-time” profit/loss; investment write-downs
Thursday, 28 March, 13
10. Depreciation
✤ Takes into account the decline in value of fixed assets over time
✤ Unlike property, equipment wears out and needs to be replaced
✤ Recorded as an expense on the P&L
✤ Has nothing to do with cash!
✤ Is added back in to profit on the cash flow statement
✤ “Amortization” works in the same way

Annual cost of goods sold A MEASURE OF THE
AGE OF INVENTORY
(Beginning inventory + final inventory)/2

20. Some other red flags
✤ Declining trend in net and operating profit over several years
✤ Compare cash flow from operations with net profit
✤ Are both trending higher, by same general percentage?
✤ Off-balance sheet entities
✤ Presence of “non-recurring charges” year after year
