C10 - PAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows
A statement of cash flows is a component of financial statements summarizing the operating, investing
and financing activities of an entity.
Operating activities are the cash flows derived primarily from the principal revenue producing activities
of the entity.
a. Cash receipts (increase cash) from sale of goods and rendering of services
b. Cash receipts from royalties, rental, fees, commissions and other revenue
c. Cash payments to suppliers for goods and services
d. Cash payments (decrease your cash) for selling, administrative and other expenses
e. Cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance enterprise for premiums and claims, annuities
and other policy benefits
f. Cash payments or refund of income taxes unless they can be specifically identified with
financing and investing activities
g. Cash receipts and payments for securities held for dealing or trading purposes
Investing Activities
Investing activities are the cash flows derived from the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and
other investments not included in cash equivalent.
As a simple guide, investing activities include cash flows from transactions involving nonoperating
assets.
a. Cash payments to acquire property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-term
assets
b. Cash receipts from sales of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and other long-term
assets
c. Cash payments to acquire equity or debt instruments of other entities and interests in joint
ventures (current and long-term investments)
d. Cash receipts from sales of equity or debt instruments of other entities and interests in joint
venture
e. Cash advances and loans to other parties (other than advances and loans made by financial
institution)
f. Cash receipts from repayment of advances and loans made to other parties
g. Cash payments for future contract, forward contract, option contract and swap contract
h. Cash receipts from future contract, forward contract, option contract and swap contract
Financing Activities
Financing activities are the cash flows derived from the equity capital and borrowings of the entity.
In other words, financing activities are the cash flows that result from transactions:
As a simple guide, financing activities include the cash flows from transactions involving nontrade
liabilities and equity of an entity.
a. Cash receipts from issuing shares or other equity instruments, for example, issuance of ordinary
and preference shares
b. Cash payments to owners to acquire or redeem the enterprise’s shares, for example, payment
for treasury shares
c. Cash receipts from issuing debentures, loans, notes, bonds, mortgages, and other short or long-
term borrowings
d. Cash payment for amounts borrowed
e. Cash payments by a lessee for the reduction of the outstanding principal lease liability
Cash payments to settle obligations such as trade accounts and notes payable, income tax payable,
accrued expenses and similar items are operating activities, not financing activities.
Interest
PAS 7, paragraph 33, provides that interest paid and interest received shall be classified as operating
cash flows because they enter into the determination of net income or loss.
Alternatively, interest paid may be classified as financing cash flows because it is a cost of obtaining
financial resources.
Alternatively, interest received may be classified as investing cash flow because it is a return on
investment.
For a financial institution, interest paid and interest received are usually classified as operating cash
flows.
Dividends
PAS 7, paragraph 33, provides that dividend received shall be classifies as operating cash flow because it
enters into the determination of net income.
Alternatively, dividend received may be classified as investing cash flow because it is a return on
investment.
PAS 7, paragraph 34, provides that dividend paid shall be classified as financing cash flow because it is a
cost of obtaining financial resources.
Alternatively, dividend paid may be classified as operating cash flow in order to assist users to
determine the ability of the entity to pay dividends out of operating cash flows.
The classification of dividend received and dividend paid as either operating, investing or financing
activity shall be made on a consistent basis from period to period.
Simple Company reported the following comparative statement of financial position and income
statement for 2019.
Sales 6,500,000
Cost of goods sold:

Purchases 3,200,000
Expenses:
Salaries 950,000

Amortization of patent 10,000
Interest expense 55,000 1,605,000
Income before tax 1,850,000

Direct Method
PAS 7, paragraph 18, provides that an entity shall report cash flows from operating activities using either
the direct method or indirect method.
The direct method shows in detail or itemizes the major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash
payments.
The cash receipts are listed one by one, the cash payments are listed one by one, and the difference
represents the net cash flows from operating activities.
4. Salaries 950,000
Accrued salaries payable – 2018 10,000
Total 960,000
Accrued salaries payable – 2019 (25,000)
Salaries paid 935,000
5. Insurance 40,000
Prepaid insurance – 2019 15,000
Total 55,000
Prepaid insurance – 2018 (20,000)
Payment for insurance 35,000
PAS 7, paragraph 32, provides that interest paid is disclosed separately whether it has been recognized
in profit or loss or capitalized.
Paragraph 35 provides that income tax paid is also disclosed or presented separately.
Observe that the depreciation of P50,000 and amortization of P10,000 do not appear in the statement of
cash flows using the direct method.
The reason is that these are noncash expenses or expenses not requiring use of cash.
PAS 7, paragraph 19, provides that entities are encouraged to report cash flows from operating activities
using the direct method.
Indirect Method
The indirect method means that the net income or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a
noncash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts and payments, and
items of income or expense associated with investing and financing activities.
The indirect method of presenting the cash flow from operations begins with the accrual basis net
income and applies a series of adjustments to convert the income to a cash basis.
The following general guidelines are offered for the adjustments of net income to cash basis:
1. All increases in trade noncash current assets are deducted from the net income.
2. All decreases in trade noncash current assets are added to net income.
3. All increases in trade current liabilities are added to net income.
4. All decreases in trade current liabilities are deducted from net income.
5. Depreciation, amortization and other noncash expenses are added back to net income to
eliminate the effect they had on net income.
6. Any gain on disposal of property or gain on early retirement of nontrade liabilities is included in
net income but it is a nonoperating item. Thus, this is deducted from net income.
7. Any loss on disposal of property or loss on early retirement of nontrade liabilities is deducted
from net income but thus is a nonoperating item Thus, this is added back to net income.
8. Other noncash income or gain is deducted from net income and other noncash expense or loss
is added to net income to eliminate the effect on net income.

follows:
