Malcolm: The easy way to do it is to look at the cash flow statement. The top part is cash flow from operations, which will include depreciation and amortization, and they give you a sum. Go over the lines above, and any which are related to stock or stock options, subtract them from that sum. (IMO those belong in the cash flow from financing section). A couple lines below the sum of the cash flow from operations is a line "investments in property, plants and equip" or "capital expenditures." Even if you don't do any valuation analysis, it is worth going over the lines and playing with the numbers, just to see where a company is getting its money, and if it is even making any. - Pirah
