Net Operating Cash flow

Cash collected from clients                    $167,000     $197,000

Less: Cash Disbursement  

Salaries                                                     $97,000       $107,000

Utilities                                                      $33,500       $47,000

Purchase of insurance policies               $62,100        $0

Net Operating Cash Flow                     -$25,600        $43,000

Therefore, net operating cash flow for year 1 is -$25,600  and year 2 is $43,000.
