    has a well articulated plan. Projected financial

    statements have three important uses:

    1.To Estimate the free cash flows to measurethe current value and to investigate the impact ofproposed changes in strategy and operations.

    2. ToPlan for financing that will be required toexecute the operating plans.

    3. To provide a basis for a compensation plan

    OUTPUTS OF FINANCIALPLANNING:

    1. Projected Balance Sheet2. Projected Income Statement3. Cash Flow Statement4. Cash Budget5. Financing Plan

    Projected financial statements are used to analyze the effects of the operating plans on the projected profits and financial ratios. to determine the amount of external funds needed to establish a system of controls governing the allocation and use of funds to develop a feedback loop which triggers modification of plans in case of unexpected

    changes To establish a performance based compensation system

    To determine the value of the company using the free cash flows generated from theforecasted statements.

    The projected statements can be analyzed to determine how much value the plancreates for shareholders.The price of the stock as of the end of the forecasted yearshould be estimated. If the statements do not meet the targets,that is, if the value is not

    acceptable ,then the elements of the plan should be studied to see if changes shouldbe made.

    CASH BUDGETS

    Forecasting future cash needs is called a cash budget.The cash budget is the tabulationof the plans of the firm in terms of their impact on the receipts and disbursements ofcash.The basic aim is to predict when and in what quantity payments of cash will bemade.

    In most cash forecasts , receipts and payments are broken down by months.If uneven

    inflows and outflows are anticipated within the monthly intervals, it may be necessary tobreak the forecast down into weekly or even daily periods.

    The most critical estimate in cash flow forecasting is the forecast of sales.Most cashreceipts and payments are closely related with sales.

    Cash budgeting involves projection of cash inflows, outflows and financing needs.Cash

    budgeting is directly linked with the lag between transactions and the related cashflows,with cash needs and with excess cash.

    9/35

    CASH BUDGETS

    A cash budget consists of two parts:

    1.The planned cash receipts

    2.The planned cash disbursements

    Evaluation of the cash position may indicate:

    1.The need for financing to cover the cash deficit

    2.The need for planning to put excess cash to profitableuse.

    The cash budget is closely related to the sales plan,

    expense budgets, and capital expenditures budget.

  • 7/29/2019 Adex Week 04a-Financial Planning.

    10/35

    PURPOSES OF THE CASHBUDGET

    The purposes of preparing cash budgets may be summarized as:

    1.To indicate the probable cash position as a result of plannedoperations.

    2. To indicate cash excess and shortages

    3.To indicate the need for borrowing or the availability of idle cash forinvestment.4.To coordinate cash with (1) total working capital (2) sales

    (3)investment (4) debt5.To establish a sound basis for credit6.To establish a sound basis for control of the cash position.

    The cash budget is concerned with timing of cash inflows andoutflows whereas other budgets are concerned with the timing oftransactions.( accrual basis).This is the basic distinction of cashbudgets form other projected statements.

    11/35

    TIME HORIZONS IN CASHPLANNING

    1.Longterm: The timing is in accord (1)with the time dimensions of the capitalexpenditure projects(2) time dimension of

    the 5 year plan.

    2.Shortterm: The timing is in accord withtha annual profit plan.It forms the basis for

    assessing the credit needs and for cashcontrol during the year.

  • 7/29/2019 Adex Week 04a-Financial Planning.

    12/35

    CONTROL OF THE CASHPOSITION

    The deviations of actual cash balance from the budgets may resultfrom:1.variation in factors affecting cash2.unexpected changes influencing operations3.lack of cash control

    Cash control can be based on two procedures:

    1.A continuous evaluation of both present and probable cash positionon a monthlybasisThis involves reporting monthly actual cash position to date which

    helps reprojection of cash flows taking into consideration theunexpected developments.

    2.Evaluation of daily cash fluctuations.This is useful in companies having widely fluctuating cash demands.

    13/35

    INPUTS OF CASH BUDGETS

    The main inputs of the cash budgets are:

    1. Sales forecasts

    2. The percentage of credit sales

    3. Receivables collection policy

    4. Payments for purchases policy

    5. Capital expenditures for the year that are generated fromcapital budgets.

    6. Dividend payment policy7. Cash inflows from rent, dividend receipts, sales of assets

    8. Outflows revealed by the expense budgets

  • 7/29/2019 Adex Week 04a-Financial Planning.

    14/35

    BASIC PROBLEMS IN EFFECTIVECASH FORECASTING

    1.An important limitation to effective cash forecasting is the needfor comprehensive and detailed planning data.

    2.The difficulty of predicting the future due to high variability.

    As the degree of uncertainty increases ,

    the management should recognize margins for error inherent in itsforecasts

    cash budgets can be prepared based on different scenarios withvarying underlying assumptions.

    simulation techniques can be used with clear definition of theassumptions upon which forecasts are based.

    Cash Budget: Purpose and Timing

    Purpose: Forecasts cash inflows, outflows,and ending cash balances. Usedto plan loans needed or funds

    available to invest.Timing: Daily, weekly, or monthly,

    depending upon purpose offorecasts. Monthly for annualplanning, daily for actual cashmanagement.

  • 7/29/2019 Adex Week 04a-Financial Planning.

    16/35

    A. Other Potential Cash Inflows Besides Collections:

    1. Proceeds from sale of fixed assets

    2. Proceeds from stock and bond sales

    3. Interest earned4. Court settlements

    B. How can interest earned or paid be incorporated in the

    cash budget?1. Interest earned: Add line in the collections section.

    2. Interest paid: Add line in the payments section.

    3. Calculation: Interest rate x surplus or loan of cash budget for

    preceding month.

    C. How are bad debts included in cash budget?

    Collections would be reduced by the amount of the bad debtlosses.

    III. SOURCES AND USES OFFUNDS STATEMENT

    A funds flow statement is a useful aid to a financial manager ora creditor in evaluating the use of funds by a firm and indetermining how these uses are financed.The analyst canevaluate the future flows by means of a projected funds flowstatement which is based on forecasts.Such a statement

    provides an efficient method for assessing the growth of thefirm, and its resulting needs and to determine the best way tofinance those needs.

    Funds may be defined in several ways depending on the

    purpose of analysis.Although they are mostly defined ascash,many analysts treat funds as working capital.

    The flow of funds is a continuous process. The assets of thefirm represent net uses of funds; its liabilities and net worth

    represent net sources.

    CASH SALES GOODS

    COLLECTIONS CREDIT SALES

    (A/R)DEBT

    A finished good is produced by a variety of inputs-raw material, net fixedassets, and labor.These inputs are paid in cash. The product is sold eitherfor cash or on credit. A credit sale involves a receivable, when collectedbecomes cash.The reservoir of cash fluctuates over time with theproduction schedule, sales, collections, capital expenditures and financing.

    STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

    Cash flow statement is a means by which we study the net funds flowbetween two points in time. These two points conform to thebeginning and ending financial statement dates for whatever

    examinationperiod is relevanta quarter, a year, or five years.The cash flow

    statementrepresents the net rather than gross changes between two comparablestatements at two different dates.

    A statement of cash flows is prepared by :

    1.Classifying net balance sheet changes that ocur between two pointsin time into changes that increase cash and changes that decreasecash

    2.Classifying from the income statement the factors that increase anddecrease cash.

    3.Consolidating the changes into a financial statement form.

  • 7/29/2019 Adex Week 04a-Financial Planning.

    20/35

    SOURCES OF CASH:1.A net decrease in any asset other than cash or fixed

    assets

    2.A gross decrease in fixed assets3.A net increase in any liability4.Proceeds from sale of common stock5.Funds provided by operations.( Net income+

    Depreciation)

    USES OF CASH:1.Any net increase in any asset other than cash or fixed

    assets.

    2.A gross increase in fixed assets.3.A net decrease in any liability4.Dividend payments5.Net losses

  • 7/29/2019 Adex Week 04a-Financial Planning.

    21/35

    The statement separates the activities into three categories:

    1.Operating activities, which include net income,changes in current assets and

    current liabilities other than cash,short-term investments and short-term debt.2.Investing activities, which includes investments in or sales of fixed assets3.Financing activities,which includes raising cash by selling short-term

    investments, or by issuing short-term debt, long-term debt or stock.Dividendspaid, retirement of bonds are transactions that are included.

    When the total sources of cash is subtracted from total uses , the differenceshould be equal to the change in cash between the two statement dates.If itdoes not, the analyst should search for the discrepancy. Frequently, it is due tothe surplus adjustments.

    Depreciation is not a source of funds, for funds are generated only fromoperations. Depreciation is a noncash outlay and because it was deducted from

    revenues, it should be added back as a source of funds.Accumulateddepreciation account in the balance sheet is treated as a liability account and anincrease in accumulated depreciation is a source of funds.To avoid doublecounting, gross changes in fixed assets are considered.

    Conversion of net income from accrual to cash basis: ( An example)

    Reported net income xxxxAdd:

    Depreciation

    Amortization of intangiblesLosses on sale of assetsDecrease in accounts receivableDecrease in prepaid expensesIncrease in income taxes payable

    Deduct:Increase in inventoriesDecrease in accounts payableGains from sale of assets

    Equals:Net income on cash basis

    An increase in retained earnings account may be the result of:1.Net income only2.Net income minus dividends

    3.Net income dividends+/- corrections of prior years earnings4.Some similar combination.

    IMPLICATIONS OF CASH FLOWSTATEMENT

    A financial manager may detect imbalances in the use of funds andundertake appropriate action. An out of proportionate growth in one ofthe assets relative to sales, uncovers inefficiencies in assetmanagement.

    Another use of cash flow statement is its use in evaluation of

    financing.An analysis of the major sources of funds reveals what portionis financed externally.In addition, the kind of financing policy that themanagement adopts is identified and evaluated in terms of its impact oncorporate return and risk.

    The cash flow statement also reveals if the company has expanded at a

    very fast rate and whether financing is strained.The kind of financingused at present will restrict the future financing policies .

    An analysis of forecasted cash flow statement is valuable to the managerin planning intermediate and longterm financing of the firm. It revealsthe firms total prospective need for funds, and the investments for

    which they will be used.

    poperations.A company may boost profits by accounting tactics . So, acompany may report profits until the time it declares bankruptcy. In suchcases , the cash flow from operations start deteriorating much earlier andanalysts can predict trouble by analyzing the trend in cash provided byoperations. Microdrive has $ 2.5 million of cash shortfall from operations.It covered this shortfall by liquidating marketable securities and borrowing

    long-term and short-term loans.

    Microdrive finances some portion of its fixed assets by long-term debtand some by short-term debt which may be risky if the firm can notgenerate funds in the short run. However, financing with short-term fundsmay reduce costs , assuming short-term interest rates are below long-termrates.

    As can be seen in the above statements , the company makes excessiveinvestment in current assets ,especially in inventories, which cause thecash flow from operations to be negative despite the increases in payablesand accruals.

    *The company had positive operating profits which increased by 8%, butEVA was negative because of the faster increase (26%) in the cost offinancing . So, the company should improve its ROIC and/or reduce itscost of capital. A reduction in asset investment may reduce TOC andimprove EVA while improving asset turnover and profitability of the firmas well. Lower investment in working capital can help improve the cashflow from operations.
