Cash flows question?
How can a company record negative cash flows from operating activies for three quarters yet repot a net postive cash flow at the end of the fiscal year?

Aside from having nothing to sell for those three quarters, then having great sales for the 4th Q, it's possible to have great investments that are non-operating earnings, heavy depreciating assets or the sales of assets.

Operating income is different from "other activities". I can easily operate a company that sells nothing but still have a positive cash flow at the end of the year.

There are 3 parts to the cash flow statement, cash flows from operations, investing, and financing. Usually when a company has negative cash flow from operations, they make up for it by generating positive cash flows from financing. Cash flows from financing can come from the sale of stock or from bank loans. All this means is that the company is supporting operations with debt or shareholder money. This is typical in start-up companies. If this isn't a start up company, it may be a bad sign.
