### Chart connections

- Beginning cash plus operating, investing and financing cash flows plus the exchange-rate effect equals ending cash. Negative amounts reduce cash.
- Financing contributions meet at a reconciliation junction before connecting to the net cash total.
- Investing contributions meet at a reconciliation junction before connecting to the net cash total.
- Operating reconciliation adjustments are not all independent cash receipts.
- Net income or operating cash is negative. The full signed reconciliation is retained: losses remain deductions, and any negative operating-cash total enters the junction from the cash pool. No positive direct-income connection is implied.
- Each activity has one net cash bar connected to the shared cash pool. Positive activity totals enter the pool; negative activity totals leave the pool to fund that activity's net payments. The central pool does not assign a particular funding source to a particular payment.
- The intermediate calculation bars include both sides of the displayed activity breakdowns; they are not additional cash flows.
- Operating cash flow minus cash spent on productive assets equals free cash flow: negative 390,000,000 US dollars minus 528,000,000 US dollars equals negative 918,000,000 US dollars.
