Cash Flow Analysis

A company with more cash coming in then going out, is considered Cash Flow Positive while the opposite is Cash Flow Negative. Cash Flow is an extremely important element for any business to monitor. Even companies that have assets well in excess of the liabilities may end up bankrupt simply because they failed to monitor their cash position appropriately and could not generate enough cash to meet current obligations.
