Net cash provided by operating activities
Consolidated cash provided by operating activities increased slightly during the
three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The modest increase was primarily due to Omega Protein's generation of net
income during the quarter.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities
Consolidated cash used in investing activities decreased during the three months
ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Variations in Zapata Corporate's net cash (used in) provided by investing
activities are typically the result of the change in the mix of cash and cash
equivalents and short and long-term investments during the period. All highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents and all investments with original maturities
of greater than three months are classified as either short or long-term
investments. Accordingly, the decrease was primarily due to the increase in
purchases of short-term investments during the quarter as compared to the same
period in the prior year, and the purchase of long-term investments during the
current quarter.
Net cash used in financing activities
Consolidated cash used in financing activities increased slightly during the
three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The modest increase was primarily due to an increase in Omega Protein's
repayments of long-term obligations during the quarter as compared to the same
period in the prior year.
Because Zapata's cash management activities are separate and distinct from those
of Omega Protein and Zap.Com, it is useful to separately review Zapata
Corporate's cash flows separately. The following table summarizes this cash flow
information (in thousands):
