Cash Flow Analysis Explained Cash flow is a measure of how much cash a business brought in or spent in total over a period of time. Cash flow is typically broken down into cash flow from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities on the statement of cash flows, a common financial statement. While it’s also important to look at business profitability on the income statement, cash flow analysis offers critical information on the financial health of a company. It tells you if cash inflows are coming from sales, loans, or investors, and similar information about outflows. Most businesses can sustain a temporary period of negative cash flows, but can’t sustain negative cash flows long-term. Newer businesses may experience negative cash flow from operations due to high spending on growth. That’s okay if investors and lenders are willing to keep supporting the business. But eventually, cash flow from operations must turn positive to keep the business open as a going concern. Cash flow analysis helps you understand if a business’s healthy bank account balance is from sales, debt, or other financing. This type of analysis may uncover unexpected problems, or it may show a healthy operating cash flow. But you don’t know either way until you review your cash flow statements or perform a cash flow analysis. In addition to looking at the standard cash flow statement and details, it’s often also useful to calculate different versions of cash flow to give you additional insights. For example, free cash flow excludes non-cash expenses and interest payments and adds in changes in working capital, which gives you a clearer view of operating cash flows. Unlevered free cash flow shows you cash flow before financial obligations while levered free cash flow explains cash flow after taking into account all bills and obligations. Why Is Cash Flow Analysis Important? A cash flow analysis determines a company’s working capital — the amount of money available to run business operations and complete transactions. That is calculated as current assets (cash or near-cash assets, like notes receivable) minus current liabilities (liabilities due during the upcoming accounting period). Cash flow analysis helps you understand if your business is able to pay its bills and generate enough cash to continue operating indefinitely. Long-term negative cash flow situations can indicate a potential bankruptcy while continual positive cash flow is often a sign of good things to come. Regards, Willjoe

Spectrum Login steps Step 1: Connect the modem to the cable outlet If you plan on using a receiver for your Spectrum cable TV service, use the splitter you got in the Spectrum internet self-installation kit to connect the modem to the cable outlet. Using a splitter to connect to the cable outlet ensures you can use the receiver as well. You can pick the shorter coaxial cable to connect the wall outlet to the IN end of the splitter. The modem and your Spectrum receiver will then connect to the OUT end of the splitter. If however, you are only using Spectrum Internet, you can connect the modem to the cable outlet in the wall directly through a coaxial cable. Step 2: Connect the modem to the power cable Plugin the A/C power cable into an electrical outlet on the wall to fire up the device, and turn it on. Be patient. The modem can take up to five minutes for the status light to become stable and turn solid. That is when you will know the modem is connected. Step 3: Connect the modem to the router via Ethernet cable The next on the list is the router. With one end of the Ethernet cable plugged into the modem, and the other into the internet port at the back of your router you’d be good to go. Step 4: Connect the router to the power cable Plug the A/C cable into an electrical outlet and power your router. Once done, you will see the status light flashing. Wait another 10 minutes for the status light on your Wi-Fi router to become stable. Step 5: Connect your wireless device to Wi-Fi At the back of your router, you’ll find the default network name (SSID) and password. Use these details in the Wi-Fi settings on your internet-enabled device (smartphone, PC, Tablet, etc.). And, your device will connect to Spectrum internet in no time. If you own a dual-band router, you’ll see two network names (SSIDs)—one for each band, albeit only one password. It is however your choice, whether you want to allocate two different network names and passwords to the two bands, or the same. In the Wi-Fi settings menu on the internet-enabled devices (s), such as your laptop or mobile, choose the band you prefer. You can choose to connect via the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. Save the network particulars. Repeat the process for other devices if any that you want to connect wirelessly. And, you’ll be able to access your home internet in no time via Spectrum Wi-Fi. Step 6: Activate the Service With your modem, router, and internet-enabled devices connected, you now have to move to the next step i.e. activating your Spectrum internet service. Open the browser, and you will be led to the activation window automatically. If not, visit https://activate.spectrum.net/ where you will receive step-by-step prompts on how to activate your Spectrum internet service. You’ll need your account information, so make sure you have that readily available. Step 7: Create your Spectrum account With your Spectrum internet service activated, you can create a Spectrum account next. This way, you’ll be able to monitor your in-home Spectrum Wi-Fi—you can keep an eye on the activities conducted on all connected devices, and manage your internet usage as well as settings.
