The difference might be due to the noncash items (i.e. depreciation and amortization) that were deducted in computing the net income but were not considered in computing the net cash provided by operating activities. Accrued expenses such as interest expense might also be the reason why there is a difference. These expenses reduce the amount of the income but does not affect the cash flows.
