Borrowings in 2017 has hiked to 42.2 which was -4 in 2016 and 9.1 in 2015. Interest received is maximised in the latest year and interest paid have been accounted for and increased as well. Income tax paid in 2017 was 21. Payment from PPE is increased in recent years. Computer software payment is accounted for and maximised to 26.5 in 2017. Sale of PPE is increased and cash inflow is being generated. Loans repaid to parties are made in 2015 only and as such, no after payments were made. Proceeds from bank is maximised as it was 679.8 in 2015, 801.1 in 2016 and maximised to 941 in 2017. Loans repayments are increased in the latest financial year.

Investing activities are good as non-current assets are sold and cash has been produced. Financing activities were 89.4 in 2015 while, it became -184.6 in 2017 which means outflow is accomplished as cash is used in paying dividends. However, cash position is good.
