Summary
I am presenting the Statements of Cash Flows this month. This statement compiles all the operating, investing, and financing activities of AMA for the past year and consequently shows the increase/decrease in cash over the year.
Operating Activities
Looking at the line "Net Cash Provided by Operating Activity" for 2003/2002, you will see a substantial increase. The net increase over last year is $471,241. That number does not appear on the statement but is arrived at by subtracting $883,883 (2002) from $1,355,124 (2003).
Investing Activities
Investing activities show income and expenditures related to property and equipment and stock market investments. This year we spent more on investments than we received from the sale of those investments.
Financing Activities
Our financing activities are the principal payments on our bond issue. This continues to be a good financing arrangement: we are paying 1.2% interest and, with the addition of fees, the effective cost is roughly 4%. It is a floating-rate instrument that must be monitored closely; it can be switched to a fixed rate, but that is not a consideration at this time.
Cash Position
Cash equivalents for 2003 increased over 2002 by $557,438. Our cash position remains strong, and AMA continues to grow in life memberships and enrollment.
Note
It is important to continue your education because the man who knows how to do something will always have a job; the man who knows why to do it will always be his boss.
