  15. Cash Flow StatementExample of Indirect Method Using Sleeman Breweries Ltd., let us examine the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement for the quarter ended on September 29, 2001.

  16. The Statement of Cash Flows will begin with Sleeman’s Net income from the Income Statement.

  17. The Net income number will be adjusted for non-cash items. In the case of Sleeman’s, those adjustments included depreciation and amortization expense ($1,845) These numbers may not be obvious in the Income Statement, so often they must be derived from other sources, such as the Notes to the Financial Statements, or the General Ledger Trial Balance.

  18. With the indirect method, always start with the net income or net loss for the period. Next, adjust for the non-cash items included in net income.

  19. To complete the Cash flows from operating activities section, you must examine a comparative balance sheet to determine the changes in current assets and current liabilities from the beginning of the period to the end of the period.

  20. Now, make adjustments for changes in current assets and current liabilities using the decision table below.

  21. Add the $11,473 decrease in Accounts Receivable.

  22. Subtract the $3,093 increase in Inventory.

  23. Add the $1,450 decrease in Prepaid Expenses.

  24. Subtract the $2,295 decrease in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities.

  25. Statement continued . . .

  26. The balance sheet indicates that Property, Plant and Equipment increased by $3,172 during the quarter.

  27. Long-term investments increased by a net $71 during the quarter.

  28. $8,636 was repaid against a line of credit during the period.

  29. Now we can reconcile the change in cash to the ending cash balance that appears on the Balance Sheet.

  30. A Comparison of the Direct and Indirect Methods • Net cash flow is the same for both methods. • The direct method provides more detail about cash from operating activities. • The investing and financing sections are identical for the two methods.
