Step-by-Step Guide to Preparing the Statement of Cash Flows (Part I)

This item reflects cash paid by an enterprise for purchasing or constructing fixed assets, acquiring intangible assets and other long-term assets (e.g., investment property), including cash paid for machinery and equipment, cash paid for construction projects, and wages paid to personnel working on construction-in-progress, among other cash outflows. It excludes capitalized borrowing costs incurred for acquiring or constructing fixed assets, intangible assets, and other long-term assets, as well as payments made under installment purchase arrangements for long-term assets. Note: Capitalized borrowing costs incurred for acquiring or constructing fixed assets, intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reported under the item “Cash paid for dividends, profits, or interest repayment.” For long-term assets acquired via installment payment arrangements, each installment payment is reported under the item “Other cash payments related to financing activities.” Notes: ① Payments for equipment or construction projects recorded in accounts payable or prepaid expenses must be consistent with the amounts deducted from operating activities—i.e., the beginning and ending balances of accounts payable and prepaid expenses related to such payments. ② If the increase in fixed assets does not include amounts transferred from construction-in-progress, then no deduction for such transfers is required. ③ Input VAT paid for acquiring or constructing long-term assets shall also be presented under this item. (7) Cash paid for investments This item reflects cash paid by an enterprise for equity investments and debt investments, including cash paid for acquiring trading financial assets and derivative financial assets (excluding cash equivalents), as well as commissions, handling fees, and other transaction costs. When an enterprise purchases stocks or bonds, any declared but unpaid cash dividends or bond interest due but not yet received, included in the actual purchase price, shall be reported under the item “Other cash payments related to investment activities.” Conversely, when such previously paid but uncollected dividends or interest are recovered, they shall be reported under the item “Other cash receipts related to investment activities.” (8) Net cash paid for acquisition of subsidiaries and other business units This item reflects the net amount of cash paid by an enterprise as part of the purchase consideration for acquiring subsidiaries and other business units, after deducting the cash and cash equivalents held by those subsidiaries or other business units. Acquisition of an entire business unit may involve various settlement methods—for example, full cash payment, or partial cash payment combined with non-cash settlement (e.g., physical assets). Moreover, since acquisitions of subsidiaries and other business units constitute holistic transactions, the acquired entities may hold not only fixed assets and inventories but also cash and cash equivalents. Therefore, the cash flow arising from such acquisitions shall be reported as the net amount of cash paid as part of the purchase consideration, less the cash and cash equivalents held by the acquired subsidiary or other business unit. If this net amount is negative, it shall be reported under the item “Other cash receipts related to investment activities.” (9) Other cash payments related to investment activities This item reflects other cash payments made by an enterprise in connection with investment activities, excluding those covered by the above items. Where such other cash payments are material in value, they shall be disclosed separately as a distinct line item. 9. Cash flows from financing activities Financing activities refer to activities that result in changes in the size and composition of an enterprise’s capital and debt.
