Answer to Question 1

Yes Many start-up companies or research companies in high growth industries are financed by borrowing money or
selling more shares of stock to cover operating losses and finance development costs until, hopefully, the companies
become profitable and cash-flow positive. Many of the familiar Internet companies of today, such as Amazon and
Yahoo, began with negative income and high negative operating cash flows as infrastructure and business
relationships were put into place. Investors are willing to provide capital to such companies hoping that business
growth will lead to positive and growing cash flows in the future. If financing cash flows are more than enough to
cover operating losses and additional investments in working capital and long-term assets, then the company's cash
balance could actually increase despite negative net income and negative operating cash flow.
