What are you talking about?
If DSH threw away inventories written down,it did not need to spend money except threw away expenses.
Inventory write down is non cash accounting method and reduce the value of stocks(current assets) and add the expenses including throw away costs if any.
Even if wrote down inventories DSH can sell them and must add on sales revenues.
After writing down inventories and buy new stocks is another matter.Buying new stocks are cash trading.
