Note that there may be an amount related to foreign exchange fluctuations, which you can put in a “plug” line at the end to make the SOCF flow.  I will be assessing your ability to take the financial information provided to construct this SOCF, an exact answer may not be possible, but I will assess your ability to use what is given (BS & IS and the latter information) to generate your estimated SOCF.
