Yes and No. If the method of accounting followed is Mercantile, Yes. If the method of accounting followed is Cash System, No. In Mercantile method of Accounting, Negetive Income represents the excess of expenditure over income. In this method; Income and Expenditure considered are on accrual basis, i.e., income or expenditure is taken as such in the books of account; the moment a right to receive income or a liability to pay for expenditure has crytallised. The movement fo cash into the business or out of business is not the criteria. Therefore, inspite of a negative income in a particular year, a business may have a positive Cash flow on account of excess of cash flow arising out of previous years income, which is held as an asset in the form of Sundry Debtors, over the payments made in respect of previous years expenditure which is held as a liability in the form of Sundry Creditors on the balance sheet.
