What are the items of significance between net income and total for operating activities?
Is the business providing cash flow from operations?
Category: Investing and Financing Activities
Describe significant long-term assets (type and dollar amount) purchased, sold, or retired during the current period and last year (the value will be a line item on the Statement of Cash Flows).
