Overstock’s Cash Flow Analysis
Professor Ilia Dichev
1. Examine Overstock’s reported Statement of Cash Flows in the 10-K. Provide a brief evaluation of the sources and uses of cash for Overstock in 2003. Assuming Overstock continues on its current trajectory of rapid growth and weak profitability, how long can the company last without additional infusions of external capital?
2. Briefly explain why the following items appear in the Operating section of the Statement of Cash Flows in the 10-K:
a. Amortization of stock-based compensation of 846 in 2003
b. Realized gain on marketable securities of (15) in 2003
c. Amortization of debt discount of 242 in 2002
d. “Prepaid expenses and other assets” appears as (2,250) in 2003. Does this mean “Prepaid expenses and other assets” went up or down in 2003?
3. Derive the Statement of Cash Flows for Overstock for 2003, using only information from the Income Statement for 2003 and the Balance Sheet for 2002 and 2003. Limit your work to deriving only the Operating section and the Investing section of the Statement of Cash Flows. For this question, avoid looking at the actual Statement of Cash Flows in the 10-K, and do not try to reconcile your derivation with the actual Statement. Clearly show your work.
