- Best Exports has noticed their current year net income is only $60,000. In order to get a loan from their bank to assist the business they will need to provide a statement of cash flows. In reviewing the statement of cash flows, you notice a large increase ($80,000) in accounts receivable due to two of your largest customers being behind in payments.
