1. Step 1- Calculate the changes (∆𝑡1 − ∆𝑡0 ) in the balance sheet.
2. Step 2- Identify the sources and uses Sources of funds Asset (decrease) Liability (increase) Net income / EAT/ Net profit after tax Depreciation and other non-cash expenditures Uses of funds Asset (increase) liability (decrease) Net loss operations Dividend payment ∆𝑅𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 − 𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑟 𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡0 + 𝐸𝐴𝑇 − 𝐷𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑡1 = 𝐵𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑡1 *notes the groups of net income such as EAT/Profit tax/ Net profit/ Net Profit after tax/ Net income 3. Calculate NCE 𝑁𝐶𝐸 = 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡1 − 𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐹𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡0 + 𝐷𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 *Student need to identify weather NCE is in the group of sources and uses of fund based on the ∆ 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑁𝐶𝐸 . If the ∆ 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝑪𝑬 increase (+) it indicate uses of fund while if the ∆ 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝑪𝑬 decrease (-) it indicate sources of fund. * Always try to get the value of depreciation from income statement due to the actual depreciation. 4. Make a statement of sources and uses of fund.
