                          NWC = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

    • NWC is normally positive in a healthy firm. It measures the short term ability of the firm            – the balance in your checking account,
      to pay its bills.                                                                                   – bills that come due this month,

    • What are the disadvantages of having a lot of NWC (excess liquidity)?

                                                                                                     • You need to maintain liquidity, but additional assets might be better off invested in

The income statement does not really reflect cash flow. There are several differences:                     • The income statement also includes non-cash items, e.g., depreciation.

    • Revenues are recorded when they accrue (when the sale is made) rather than when the                   – The cost of fixed investments is not incurred all at once, but rather as they are

    • Remember: the cash flows of interest in finance are not the same as what is recorded in the                       cash flow from assets         =      cash flow to creditors
      accounting “statement of cash flows”.                                                                                                                    + cash flow to stockholders
    • Why is depreciation added into OCF?
         – The reason is that EBIT has subtracted depreciation off, but it is a non-cash item. We                             Cash flow to creditors        =    interest paid
           just need to undo this subtraction.
                                                                                                                                                                    – net new borrowing
    • Note that the accounting definition of OCF is net income + depreciation. This differs from our
      definition of cash flow in that interest is deducted.                                                               Cash flow to stock holders         =    dividends paid
         – We treat interest as a financing expense. That is, it will be part of the cash flow to                                                                     – net new equity raised
           creditors. The reason for this will be clearer later.
    • Why do we treat depreciation as a positive component of cash flow in NCS?
         – Again, we are simply correcting for the fact that it was written off in the balance sheet,
           but is not a cash item.                                                                     Note: Remember that financial cash flows are different from the accounting statement of cash flows.
         – NCS reflects the amount of cash actually spent to purchase fixed assets this period.

Publicly traded firms have to file audited annual reports, but that doesn’t mean that “accounting irregularities”     See posted article.
never slip by the auditors. Companies that deliberately manipulate financial statements may benefit in the short
run, but it eventually comes back to haunt them. Cendant Corporation is a good example.                             —
Cendant was created when CUC International and HFS, Inc. merged in late 1997. The combined company
owns such name brands as Century 21 and Coldwell-Bankers. In April 1998, the combined company announced
that accounting irregularities had been found in the CUC financial statements and earnings would need to be
restated for 1997 and possibly 1995 and 1996 as well. Cendant’s stock price dropped 47 percent the day after
the announcement was made (it was announced after the market closed).

The problems haunted Cendant throughout 1998. In July, it was announced that the problem was much worse
than originally expected and the stock price plummeted again. By the end of July 1998, the stock price had
dropped more than 60 percent below the price before the original announcement. The company also had to take
a $76.4 million charge in the third quarter of 1998 for the costs of investigating the accounting irregularities.

Criminal charges have been filed against several former executives of CUC International and several class action
lawsuits have been filed against Cendant. The stock was trading at about $41 per share prior to the announcement
and dropped as low as $7.50 per share in October 1998. The price still had not recovered by early September
2000, with a closing price on September 1, 2000 of about $13.
