4. A relatively small amount of cash was provided by operating activities during the year as a result of large increases in accounts receivable and inventory. Most of the cash that was provided by operating activities was paid out in dividends. The small amount that remained, combined with the cash provided by the issue of bonds and the issue of common stock, was insufficient to purchase a large amount of equipment and make a loan to another company. As a result, the cash on hand declined sharply during the year.
