Discussion and analysis of the statement of cash flowsThe decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities has largely been influenced by the necessity to make substantialup-front payments to suppliers in respect of major contracts commenced in the latter part of the financial year.These costs were invoiced to customers but not collected until after the end of the financial year.Repayment of borrowings and payment of related interest was in accordance with the agreements entered into withthird parties.Payments for property, plant and equipment totalling $201,411 were made during the financial year.STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE <strong>1999</strong>Consolidated<strong>1999</strong> 1998Note $ $CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIESCash receipts in the course of operations 19,488,414 19,827,168Cash payment in the course of operations (18,170,555) (17,661,817)Interest received 46,748 28,471Borrowing costs paid (9,376) —NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES 1,355,231 2,193,822CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIESProceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment 4,000 —Proceeds from sale of equity investments 60,062 —Purchase of equity investments (39,564) —Payments for property, plant and equipment (201,411) (823,389)NET CASH (USED IN) INVESTING ACTIVITIES (176,913) (823,389)CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIESRedemption of preference shares (250,000) —Repayment of borrowings by related entity 87,400 16,379Loans to related entity — (9,550)Lease and hire purchase payment (314,846) (658,343)NET CASH (USED IN) FINANCING ACTIVITIES (477,446) (651,514)NET INCREASE /(DECREASE) IN CASH HELD 700,872 718,919CASH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 932,774 213,855CASH AT THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 1,633,646 932,774The statement of cash flows is to be read in conjunction with the discussion and analysis above and the notes to thefinancial statements set out on pages 20 to 21.PAGE 19
