- Separate cash inflows and outflows
- Group Cash outflows into couple of main items, for example: Opex, Debt Service, tax and Equity.
-Then depending on what you want to reflect, you can express it on a per unit basis of the project’s output or as a percentage of revenues.

You can use this statement when you are negotiating the tariff by showing the different components of tariff.
