The number is listed as a Current liability. You would imagine that refurbishment cost is in there.
In the end though, its a $634m payout that is Current. Cash is needed to pay it. Assume that you get real smart and take all year to pay these guys. It will still have to come out of cash flow this year.
Add to that at least $500m of interest payments that cNP must make to be up to date in the year.
That is cashout of $1134m before counting any new trade creditors, employee payments etc for the year.
On income of $750m - $800m for the year, you can see that either, some new cash is needed of a heap of payables dont get paid.
