Limitations Of Funds Flow Statement
• The main limitations of fund flow
1. Fund flow statements provide additional information regarding changes in working
capital. They are not replacements for income statements or balance sheet.
2. Although cash inflows and out flows are shown in a fund flow statement, no
information Is given about the reasons for this
3. As a matter of fact a fund flow statement is simply a rearranged statement of
financial data
4. Fund flow statements are historical in nature as they are the outcome of old
financial data, which are simply a window dressing.
5. Fund flow statements can sometimes be misleading especially when an analyst
does not know the reality and the soundness of the figures from which they are
computed

Total
Working capital is calculated based on Current Assets and Current
Liabilities
After deduction of Current Liabilities from Current Assets, Working
capital is calculated
Increase in Current Assets with Current Liabilities at constant, there
is an increase in Working Capital, leading to direct relationship
Decrease in Current Assets with Current Liabilities at constant, there
is an decrease in Working Capital, leading to indirect relationship
Funds from operation
Funds from operations refers to the profit earned or loss incurred from the regular
business operation
The ascertainment of funds from the operation is vital for the preparation of fund
flow statement
Funds from operations (FFO) is nothing but operating Net Profit is calculated by =
Net Profit (+) Non Operating Expenses (Depreciation, Provision for taxation, Loss on
sale, Interim divident, Preminum on Redemption, Discount on issue of shares or
deventures) (–) Non Operating Income (Profit on sale of machinery, Rent etc)
If its positive trend called as Funds From Operation
If its negative called as Loss from Operation
FFO (Sources) are more and LFO (application) are less, there is an increase in
working capital
FFO (Sources) are less and LFO (application) are more, there is an decrease in
working capital leading to less money
Preparation of Fund flow statement
Fund flow satement has two parts:
1. Sources of Fund
2. Application of Fund
The difference between these two parts that is sources and uses of funds
represents net changes in working capital
Excess of sources of funds over uses of fund is the net increase in working
capital and excess of uses over sources of fund is net decrease in working capital
The amount of net increase or decrease as fund flow statement should be equal
to be amount shown by schedule of working capital changes
After recognizing the funds/loss from operations, fund flow statement is prepared, which will show
the net increase or decrease in the working capital
Basically, any change in the assets and liabilities may result in the inflows and outflows of funds, but
not always, as in case of depreciation or revaluation of assets, there is no inflow or outflow of funds
Hence, only those assets or liabilities will become a part of the statement, which actually leads to
the flows of the fund to/from the business
Conclusion
Gives information about amount of working capital and changes in the
amount of working capital
It analyses Balance sheet to reveal the financing & investing activities
It analyses the Profit & Loss Account to reveal the effect of business
activities of the concern on the flow of funds
It is a tool for planning future activities of business
