Cash Flow Analysis
Most important component Debt service coverage (DSC) ratio Minimum requirements Riskier loan types
©2012 46
Revenue stability & growth Margin protection: Gross Margin/Sales less COGS
(cost of goods sold) Cash flow Fixed charge coverageWhat is the hurdle?What is pro forma (forecast or projected) coverage? How much cushion is implied? Perform a sensitivity analysis
Capacity Components
©2012 47
Quality of InformationOnly use recurring revenues and expenses in DSC
calculationAny projections used should be fully supported
and carefully examinedMust be forward-looking projection, upcoming
threats to revenues should be noted
Capacity Components

Capital Measurements

Please review example provided
Example
©2012 51
Composition of the capital is important. You cannot repossess or sell retained earnings.
Quality of information is critical. Most often working with unaudited statements.
If a capital item is critical to your credit decision, it should be verified.

Where the case for making the loan is documented. It should be complete and comprehensive. A “stand alone” document that details the reason for granting the credit.
Loan Presentations
©2012 63
Should at least contain the following: Proposed terms of the loanMay have alternative terms that will be presented
to borrower Loan policy should specify latitude given to loan
officers to make minor changes in loan before going back to get it re-approved.
Loan Presentation Requirements
©2012 64
Opening description of borrower and proposed loan, covering at least:Purpose of the fundsNature of the businessHistory of the businessOwners, guarantors, and related entities are
discussed and their relationship to this credit made clear. Outside interest and contingent liabilities should be revealed.
Sources and uses of funds
Loan Presentation Requirements

Sources of payment in order of preference Typically cash flows, guarantor support, and
liquidation of collateral Entity Cash FlowsAt lease 3 years of cash flows. Look for trends.
There should be verbal explanations for fluctuations
Loan Presentation Requirements
©2012 66
Entity balance sheet At least 3 years of examples; unusual fluctuations
should be explained verbally. Fluctuations should be consistent with fluctuations in
the cash flow trends
Guarantor evaluation Type of guaranty: unlimited vs. limited At least 3 years of financial information for all
significant guarantors Compute personal DSC Evaluate credit report

RISK RATING COMMERCIAL LOANS
©2012 71
Loan Risk Rating System
Primary indicator of credit exposure Used for a variety of purposes Approval requirements Portfolio management Identifying problem loans Loan pricing Loan loss reserve calculations
An important element No one correct rating system
©2012 72
Structure of Rating System
Four minimum categories1. Pass2. Substandard3. Doubtful 4. Loss
Additional categories1. Watch list2. Special mention
©2012 73
PassSub
Pass ratings (At Least 3 Categories)
1. Exception Risk Unquestioned primary source of loan
repayment; no apparent risk
2. Very Good or Good Quality Primary source of repayment very likely to be
sufficient, with secondary sources readily available; strong financial position; minimal risk; profitability, liquidity and capitalization are better than industry norms
©2012 74
Pass ratings (At Least 3 Categories)
3. Acceptable or StandardPrimary source of loan repayment is
satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary; loan within normal credit standards; requires average amount of Loan Officer attention; company is of average size within its industry and may have difficulty accessing or does not have access to public markets for short term or capital needs
©2012 75
Marginal Rating
Risk rating systems should have a transitory or marginal classification with at least one of the following categories: Watch List Loans having potential weaknesses deserving
management’s attention; they don’t go on the special mention list. Not adversely classified and don’t expose CU to significant risk.
Special Mention Commercial loans needing close operating attention or
action to mitigate possible weakness; have emerging identifiable problems.
©2012 76
Adversely Classified Risk Ratings
Loans with some impairment Fall into three categories
1. Substandard (least severe) Defined weaknesses or negative trends meriting
close monitoring 2. Doubtful
Vital weaknesses exist where collection of principal is highly questionable
3. Loss (most severe) Uncollectible and of such little value the
continuance as an asset is not warranted ©2012 77
Substandard Definition
Asset inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any.
Assets so classified must have well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
Categorized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Non-interest accrual status has been attained.
©2012 78
Doubtful Definition
An asset having all the weaknesses inherent in “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
©2012 79
Loss Definition
Asset is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance on the books is not warranted.
Does not mean asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value; rather it’s not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.
©2012 80
Key Points
When are ratings assigned? How often are ratings reviewed? Segregation Examiners
©2012 81
Loan structure depends on the nature of the member’s business
To properly structure a member relationship, the credit union must:Project how the company will perform in the
futureAnticipate challenges and problems that may ariseDevelop covenants that protect the credit union
Loan Structure

Lines of Credit Seasonal or RevolvingPurpose is to fund short term cash flow shortages Collateral is generally short term assets, accounts

Credit Facilities

Term Loans Single advance, declining balance loansPurpose is to fund permanent working capital or
refinance debt or equityCollateral is generally first liens on fixed or long
term assetsMaturity of 2 to 10 years
Credit Facilities

Affirmative Covenants Timely delivery of financial information (default
rate penalty)Access to company’s booksRight to inspect collateral Timely notification of contingent liabilitiesMaintain operating accounts with the credit union
