I have answered your first question in reply to your other post of it. In year 1 they have not charged tax on loss. We always assume that the company is already making profits and is therefore currently paying tax. Therefore a 'loss' on the new investment reduces their existing taxable profit and therefore saves tax. The 1,796 is a tax saving and therefore appears as a tax saving in arriving at the net cash flow.
