Oga Samking, I think the answered seek is embedded within your question (your last sentence - bolded part).

Keep your eyes on the Cashflow(from operations) to Debt Ratio when companies decide to do as Oga KOD mentioned.

But...
Its not that simple. Many companies have a negative free-cash flow, but have learned how to reward shareholders with cashflow from operations, and going ahead to borrow long-term(cashflow from finance) to fund capital investments like Oga KOD highlighted(mind you this borrowing is not to fund operating accounts/current assets O). I suspect Nestle does this.

studying the cash flow statement, i seem to get confussed about the cash and cash equivalent at the start of year which is being added to the net cash flow to make cash and cash equivalent at the end of year. my question, is it that the cash and cash equivalent at the start of the year is not used during that period

Another one in the kitty. Next?

Some of the companies in the Agricultural sector are not doing badly. Used to know when this stock was selling for N2.00, that was when Osunkeye was the Chairman of the company.
For Stanbic IBTC Asset Mgt to have a seat on the board of this company, they might know some thing which some of us do not know.

Do you know how they got the seat? I hope it was not like the case of 7UP where they were the underwriters of a rights issue that was not fully subscribed so they ended up being stuck with a huge chunk of shares.

My Ogas, why are some of the coys declaring 2011 FYE results putting their payments dates 3 to 5(as is d case with presco) months after declaration? I think 2 months is a fair time for whatever collation that needs to be done and I see this as inefficiency on the part of management. Abi dem no get cash?
