Some formulas and links are "broken" in the Excel sheet.

Broken links are marked with a red font. In particular, my interest calculation and tax schedules look a bit messed up.

Tasks are:

1. To restore all broken links and to fix the balance sheet. (One hint - cash calculation is circular).

2. To reproduce the (new, separate) Cash Flow statement starting "from Net Income" (as opposed to "from EBITDA", as it currently is).

3. To replace the "summary" deferred tax item by two separate/dedicated deferred tax items: one on the asset side and the other on the liability side of the B/S.

NB:
Basically there should be a link between the income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet on the "Financials - ABC Industries" sheet.

And this should also link to the tax and interest schedules on the "Supp Schedule - ABC Industries"

By using a correct formula for the "cells" in red, it should be able to balance the sheet.

So for instance if you look at the balance sheet, you can see that its not balanced.
