Examples
When a company sells products/services on account, a sale is recognized at the time of delivery. At this point, net income increases but there is not (yet) cash received.
When a trading company pays for merchandise, cash is spent, but the matching principle will treat this cash outflow as an asset. The merchandise is to be sold at a future profit, so it is considered to have value. Hence, cash has been paid, but no expenses were booked.
Another example would be investments. If a company spends cash on a new machine, the machine is treated as an asset (resulting in future depreciation), but cash is reduced.
One more example is repayment of a loan. Loan payments consist of a principal portion and an interest portion. Only the interest portion is considered an expense (for calculation of net income), but the entire amount that you paid will affect cash flow.

Net income is after deducting non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization. To determine net cash, these non-cash amounts must be added back: Net cash = Net income + depreciation + amortization In preparing financial statements, additional adjustments are necessary to account for changes in receivables, inventories, and payables that have occurred between the beginning and the end of the period in question. For example, a net decrease in a current asset such as receivables should be added back to net income, or a net increase in receivables should be subtracted from net income, to get net cash. The opposite is true for changes in payables or other current liabilities - add back a net increase in payables, or subtract a net decrease in payables.
