The balance sheet shows the position of the firm at one point in time. It shows the amounts of assets and liabilities at that particular time. In this sense it is like a snap shot. The income statement shows the effect of business activities over the entire year. Since it captures events over an extended period, it is more like a video. The statement of cash flow is like the income statement in that it summarizes activity over the full year, so it too is like a video. Accounting revenues and expenses can differ from cash flows because some items included in the computation of revenues and expenses do not entail immediate cash flows. For example, sales made on credit are considered revenue even though cash is not collected until the customer makes a payment. Also, depreciation expense reduces net income, but does not entail a cash outflow. Conversely, some cash flows are not included in revenues or expenses. For example, collection of accounts receivable results in a cash inflow but is not revenue. Purchases of inventory require cash outlays, but are treated as investments in working capital, not as expenses. Working capital ought to be increasing. The firm will be building up stocks of inventory as it ramps up production. In addition, as sales increase, accounts receivable will increase rapidly. While accounts payable will probably also increase, the increase in accounts receivable will tend to dominate since sales prices exceed input costs.

Cash 6lo5 6rom operations can be positive even i6 net income is negative. @or e)ample, i6 depreciation e)penses are large, then negative net income might correspond to positive cash 6lo5 because depreciation is treated as an e)pense in calculating net income, but does not represent a cash out6lo5. Conversely, i6 net income is positive, but a large portion o6 sales are made on credit, cash 6lo5 can be negative since the sales are revenue but do not yet generate cash.
