8 What is the Cash Flow Statement? n The cash flow statement summarizes the period’s cash flows to reconcile the opening and closing cash balances of the company. The sources and uses of cash are distinguished between the operating, investing and financing activities of the company. The cash flow statement is prepared by calculating the change in each balance sheet account, classifying that net change as either a cash inflow or cash outflow, and categorizing those inflows and outflows as operating, financing or investing flows. This represents somewhat of an oversimplification, since the net change in an account may be the result of any combination of these three categories of activities. Hence, three elements: n The cash flow statement summarizes the period’s cash flows to reconcile the opening and closing cash balances of the company.

9 Reconciling Opening and Closing Cash Balances n “Cash” comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. n “Cash Equivalents” are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

11 Categorizing Cash Inflows and Outflows as Operating, Financing and Investing Flows n “Operating Activities” are the principal revenue-producing activities of the enterprise and all other activities that are not investing or financing activities. n “Investing Activities” are the acquisitions and disposals of long term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents. n “Financing Activities” are the activities that result in changes in the size and composition of equity capital and borrowings of the enterprise.

12 Operating Activities n An enterprise should report cash flows from operating activities using either the direct method or the indirect method. n Under the indirect method, the net cash flows from operating activities is determined by adjusting net income or loss for the effects of: a.non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions for losses, future taxes, unrealized foreign currency gains and losses, undistributed profits of equity accounted investees and non-controlling interest. b.changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables; c.other deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments; and d.revenues, expenses, gains or losses associated with investing or financing cash flows.

16 The Forzani Group Ltd. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont’d) nDuring the year, the Company refinanced its operations. The refinancing was achieved with the support of suppliers, landlords, the Company’s principal lender and with the issue of common equity. The purpose of the refinancing was to provide liquidity to fund operations, to ensure that the Company could meet its obligations as they came due and to support its restructuring initiatives. The voluntary financial support provided by the Company’s major suppliers and landlords by way of deferral of existing and future liabilities, in the amount of approximately $20 million, carried no interest. The supplier deferrals due were repaid during the year. The landlord deferrals are repayable over three years. One-third of the landlord deferrals were repaid during the year. The principal lender provided additional support of $8 million carrying interest at an effective rate of prime plus 4%. The Company repaid the advance during the year, and subsequently obtained a secured term credit facility of $5,400,000 (see Note 6). nThe equity infusion was made via insurance of 10,900,000 special warrants (see Note 7). Proceeds from the offering were applied against the Company’s revolving credit facility, thereby improving its general working capital position. Subsequent to year end, the Company issued an additional 4,650,000 special warrants (see Note 14). The proceeds from this offering were used to repay the secured term credit facility and to provide additional working capital to support store renovations and additions. n Tabular amounts in thousands of dollars Refinancing 2.
