1.Look at the bottom line of the income statement and you will see net income.
2.roughly, the net cash flow = net income + depreciation + amortization.
3. NOPAT = net income + Interest(1- Tax rate) or use EBIT x (1-T)..
4. Operating cash flow, you can look directly in the cashflow statement of the company.
5. EVA = NOPAT - (WACC x Investment Capital),
and Investment Capital = Equity + long-term debt
WACC = Weight average cost of capital.

Actually, cash flow can be determined by several method. The one that I give you in 2. is just the rough method. I you want more explanation, please ask me again.
