these current assets and liabilities should outright be
ignored unless these are not incorporated into books of
accounts.

10. FUND FROM OPERATIONS
Net income from operations is calculated after reducing COGS
and other expenses from the sales price of goods sold. But this
amount does not represent the operational profit for the funds
flow statement. Profit and loss may include those items which
do not affect working capital, therefore for calculation of
funds from operations for fund flow statement some
adjustments have to be made in net profit shown by profit and
loss account.
Two methods:
i. By Preparing Profit and Loss Adjustment a/c
ii. By Preparing Statement
Results:
i. Loss from operations = Uses of funds
ii. Profits in Working Capital= Sources of funds
10

11. Adjusted Profit and Loss A/c
• To Depreciation on Fixed Assets
• To Loss on sale of Fixed Assets
• To Transfer to Reserve
• To Goodwill/Patent W/O
• To Preliminary Exp. W/O
• To Premium on Redemption of
shares. Debentures

If the ‘provision for depreciation balance’ is given in the
balance sheet, then the assets will be treated ‘at
cost’, but if the same is given outside the balance
sheet i.e. in the additional information, then the
assets will be treated at the ‘written down value’
(WDV) and In this case Assert Account will be
brought At cost by adding Depreciation Opening in
Assets Opening and Accumulated Depreciation (acc.
dep.) is used while creating Account At cost and in
that case Provision for Depreciation Whereas annual
depreciation (annual depreciation) is used while
preparing the account on the written down value
(WDV).
