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 loss −$11.73M − net operating adjustments $43.55M = operating cash −$55.27M. The loss reduces the earnings basis of the reconciliation; it is not a cash payment. The signed loss remains a deduction at the operating reconciliation junction.
  • 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 purchases of property, plant and equipment equals free cash flow: negative 55,272,000 US dollars minus 11,197,000 US dollars equals negative 66,469,000 US dollars.
