Depreciation Nerds: Need help

Hi guys,

i'm looking at a company with a very asset-heavy business model that should depreciate a lot. They include D&A in their financial statements under OpEx, with no further breakdown (just line item OpEx, not even the amount of D&A). In their cash flow statement, however, they have a D&A expense figure which is way lower than it should be (think 1k instead of 1m).

Now I realize that they view their D&A as OpEx, but shouldn't they have to add it back in their CF calculation?
If the CF statement doesn't give me the right answer, is there any way I can deduce D&A? Have Gross PP&E but don't think it would work since i do not have CapEx or Net PPE.
What is this weird depreciation expense that's way too low?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Chad
