Companies occasionally engage in non-cash transactions. Examples include asset exchanges, acquisitions made in exchange for stock of the parent company, or the exchange of convertible bonds into shares.

Since such transactions do not involve cash, they are not reported on the face of the statement of cash flows. However, significant non-cash transactions must be disclosed in the financial statement notes or a supplement to the cash flow statement.
