The depreciation is trending downward over the three-year period indicating less long-term assets are being purchased/capitalized to run operations. While depreciation does not involve cash, it does impact net income. In addition, account payables have been decreasing over the last two years and significant cash has been used in the last year to pay the liability. In 1990 there are significant costs associated with restructuring activities. There

Kohl's Corporation displays a positive trend of cash flows mainly due to an increase in cash from operating and financials activities while reducing negative cash from investing activities.

In this case, we can see that Reebok had reported positive cash flows from operations, for example in 1990 reported $39.2M while LA Gear reported a negative (40M) the same year. Looking closely, we can see that LA Gear was retaining huge quantities of inventory while at the same time, not collecting enough money from customers (A/R). Hence we can conclude that for Reebok, operations was a source of cash but on the other hand, LA Gear was quite the opposite: operations was a use (or drain) of cash. Turning our attention to “cash flows from financing activities” we can see that more differences. Reebok is borrowing little money, instead it is paying loans. LA Gear is borrowing huge quantities of money, for example in 1990 it borrowed $56M. As a result of this, we can see where the money to finance
