* Cash in Hand (Total Debit) + Cash at Bank (Total Debit) + OD (bank facilities Amount) is
         more than pay supplier + pay bank interest + pay expenses + pay installment.
      * Therefore source of income is 100% from Sales. or else XX% from Business owners.
      * In whatever cases, normally business operation would not have a negative cash balances &
         negative bank balances such as follows :

         For example below:
         March 2007 = Bank -153,390.53 + Cash in Hand 23,099.06 = -130,291.47

         Cash in Hand Debit 534,023.17 = sales, part of it bank in 373,007.90
                                                                      part of it pay cash purchase, expenses 161,015.27
         At bank, even though it has 373,007.90, it able to make payment of 663,251.34?
         (* remember if your OD is 100K, you would not issue unpresented cheque over 100K)
         (* if you say not enough, you must have your bank accounts the full OD usage) 
         (* if your OD is 100K, normally you won't goes as low as OD 4K , and as high as full OD)
          * in other words, cash & bank balance should maintain the min positive daily & monthly
