		The cash gap is the number of days between a business’s payment and receipt of cash from its customers for goods and services bought and sold.
		Sometimes a company reaches a stage called “fallen off the edge” where both cash gap and sales are growing but the cash outflows exceed inflow (cumulative cash outflow is more than net sales).
		The cash gap is a simple and effective tool in the hands of financial executives, to convince finance and operating managers to pay attention to the company’s cash flow.

	MANAGING THE CASH GAP
		The cash gap is the number of days between a business's payment of cash for goods and services bought and the receipt of cash from its customers for goods or services sold.
		If both the cash gap and sales are growing, a company rapidly reaches a point at which cash outflow exceeds inflow—a situation that can quickly lead to bankruptcy.
		When a company falls into this position, it must either reduce the cash gap, increase its margins or slow down the rate of sales growth until the cash flows come back into balance.

	Fool.com: The Credibility Gap [Motley Fool Take] November 19, 2004
		In further support of an investment thesis for Gap, the company argues in its press release that it has strengthened its balance sheet and is maximizing shareholder returns with debt paydowns and share buybacks.
		What's more, Gap is less than halfway through its currently authorized $750 million share-repurchase plan and still has net cash (cash and equivalents minus long-term debt) of $1.8 billion -- plenty to complete this buyback plan and start one or two more when it's finished.
		Rather, as we've seen with companies such as Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC) and DoubleClick, the buybacks appear to be designed more to mask the effects of stock dilution than to add value to Gap shareholders' investment.
