"Lets define what cash flow positive means. It does not mean that Amanda says it is positive with yet a new definition. Looking at Q4 Cash flow report, top of Page 4 is the cash flow from Q to Q. Note that both Free (very little change) and Restricted cash are negative in spite of what Amanda says. Do you agree That this is the way it should be judged?"
Free cash flow (FCF) is a measure of a company's financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.
It's exactly as AL states.
* Free cash flow (revenue less operating costs and CAPEX) of A$0.9million.
You must not understand the concept.
A$2.767m was used from the restricted bank account to make the principal debt repayment which is reason for reduction.
"Next is amount and if any one thinks they can guess this they are fooling themselves. As I have said before this is a easy number to legally manipulate. All you have to do is slip a payment or two from September 30 to Oct 1 and poof better free cash."
But that just means it will need to be paid the next Q. As long as the company can generate enough free cash every Q to pay debt obligations who cares.
"Or one that Lynas uses, as well, is receive an order in September for a delivery in October"
Besides FY16 Q3, and the company made it clear why, can you point out any other Q this has occurred? Again rather irrelevant if the company can generate enough free cash every Q to pay debt obligations.
"You can guess at Prepayment By looking at sales and cash receipts. When cash receipts are higher than sales then there was either back payments collected or prepayments."
Can you show an example from one of the quarterlies please?
It's a timing different between invoiced sales and when cash is received. In other instances it could also be sale of product from inventory.
"Why is an easily manipulated number that showed a decrease last year of 8,6M when the actual was 90M, so important to you??? Is it that you have lots of shares and looking at total picture crushes your dreams of future wealth? That you can keep your dreams by continually saying volume up and Plant quality is improving and not looking at deferred debt"
It's not as easily manipulated as you suggest dude. Basically it's a way of seeing how much free cash is being generated by the company to pay debt obligations.
I'm under no illusions about company debt dude. Made my POV about this very clear. You have either chosen to ignore it or just font understand.
"(I proved to you no interest or principle was paid into reserve cash Q3, Q4 like you said it was)."
Never said it was dude. The company did make interest payments for the the January period, you just repeated what I already posted to try and prove me wrong about something I never said. Totally bizarre.
1. The balance that has already been deposited into the JARE restricted interest account in respect of the period commencing January 2016 (being approximately US$1.37 million) will be refunded to Lynas, and repayment of that amount into the JARE restricted interest account is postponed to the end of December 2016 without additional interest or penalty

"Goofy are you going to reply to my comments where you said I was crazy? You were correct in a few of your comments but way off on others. You quickly changed subject to Cash flow with no comment at all. Your silence says allot about character."
I have and I gave my reasons why, again you just choose to ignore or don't understand. Simple solution is to see the FY17 Q1 results and then I can explain to you where you went wrong 
You make many speculative comments and just plain make up many of them as well. To be honest you post so much irrelevant stuff it's not worth replying to most of it. One post your not interested in ever buying shares in the company and then the next post you might consider it one day lol. Seriously dude at least try and get your story straight.
