...Analyzing Pro Forma Statements Christopher Radko has been in business for thirty years making blown glass Christmas ornaments. They have expanded their line to include snow globes and cookie jars and even a line of jewelry. I propose that Christopher Radko market a new product to their collectors; a home décor line that showcases their style. This line would include throw pillows, rugs, paintings and tabletop accent pieces. Pro Forma statements are hypothetical assumptions of a company for a time span, in this case five years. Taking an already successful company and adding to the line can be both a good idea and tricky because the customer base can split two ways. They can either decide that they love the addition and buy it or become upset at the perception that the company is changing its product line. A pro forma statement can include and exclude whatever the company feels is relevant or irrelevant; onetime expenses are usually not used in pro forma statements either. The pro forma guidelines are not as strict as generally accepted accounting principles. The calculations that were arrived to for Christopher Radko show how the line would be beneficial if it included a new home décor line. It is worth mentioning that the net income does not reflect one time buys therefore the pro forma statement does not reflect that information. While it was not shown in the attached pro forma statement there are companies that write off merchandise to in attempt to manipulate their outcomes...

...What is the purpose of a Pro Forma income statement? How would you use the information from the Pro Forma income statement? Provide an example. According to businesstown.com, Pro Forma income statements are “an important tool for planning future business operations. If the projections predict a downturn in profitability, you can make operational changes such as increasing prices or decreasing costs before these projections become reality.” Pro Forma income statements are used to let investors know a company’s operating results, conforming to investopedia.com, “Pro Forma financial statements take out one-time charges to smooth earnings.” In addition, “Pro-forma earnings describe a financial statement that has hypothetical amounts, or estimates, built into the data to give a "picture" of a company's profits if certain nonrecurring items were excluded.” (investopedia.com) The information from a Pro Forma income statement can be used through: * To give investors a clearer view of company operations - This applies to the nature of a business. investopedia.com explains that “Companies in certain industries tend to use pro-forma reporting more than others, as the impetus to report pro-forma numbers is usually a result of industry characteristics. For example, some cable and telephone companies almost never make a net operating profit because they are constantly writing down big depreciation costs.” (businesstown.com) But; * For companies that do not include cash charges...

...Check Point Financial Forecasting November 12, 2012 The most comprehensive means of financial forecasting is to develop a series of pro forma, or projected, financial statements. Financial forecast is about the pro-forma income statement, cash budget, and pro-forma balance sheet. The statements are often required by bankers and other lenders as a guide for the future. A brand new company needs to have sales projection plan, production plan, and have a pro forma income statement because it is a new business, so it would not have any prior financial reports. If there was a new business that I would trying to open, I would have to know, how much money products are going to cost, how much revenue. I would need to make and what is expected of the business. Family owned company, would need the same thing. It is still treated like a brand new company because you still need financial reports, which are production plan, cash balance and sales projections to get the banks to finance and to know how the bill are going to be paid. A long-standing corporation is a little different because they have been there longer and there are more financial statements. There are pro-forma income statements, cash budget, and other budgets used together equal pro-forma balance sheet are used by business small and large to obtain lending, set production levels, forecast sales, and forecast profits. There is an end budget plan because the business has been there longer, than the other...

...Introduction Managing the risk of changing prices of gold is central to the business strategy of American Barrick Resources Corp., one of North America's largest and most successful gold-mining firms. The case contrasts this firm's hedging policies with those of its rivals that do not hedge and details the wide range of hedging products (gold loans, forwards, options, and spot deferred contracts) used to manage price risk. In 1992 the management of American Barrick is pleasantly surprised by unexpected new gold finds, but this new production places demands on the firm's hedging program and tests the firm's commitment to hedging when prices of gold and of many hedging vehicles are unattractive. The gold mining industry has been heavily impacted by the fluctuating gold prices and continuously rising operating costs. Hedging gold prices has become important to ensure financial stability in a sector where mines are unprofitable due to high volatility. Through this case we question the value created by hedging and analyse various instruments to decide upon the best available instrument to Barrick. In this document we explore: 1. Popular theories of hedging and focus on hedging in the gold industry. 2. Analyse features and risk of the gold hedging program at Barrick. 3. Analyse characteristics of Barrick’s gold hedging program. In this document we conclude that value of hedging gold prices creates value for shareholders especially when other firms remain exposed. ...

B1 Until Quarter four I did not fully grasp the purpose of the Pro forma statements. I did not understand that the pro-forma was a projection of your decisions that you were making in the current quarter. Had I closely analyzed my Pro forma statement in quarter two I would have seen that I had set my demand for my sales team at zero and overspent in production. My revenue was not enough to cover the cost of production and overhead. Just by doing the simple math using my Pro-forma sheet I could have quickly assessed that the Revenues of +$990,900 would not cover the Cost of production-$576,338 and an excess capacity cost of -$491,524. Q1 my largest investment was in $470,000 in the sales office. I chose to open offices in Tokyo and New York since the market research showed this would be the best investment for my targeted segments Traveler and Mercedes. I invested $120,000 in market research, which was a very important resource throughout the simulation I wanted make sure I didn’t overspend during the first quarter...

Sales reached $516Mand had a return of 195.8%. Quaker Oats & its Strategy Quaker Oats is an American food conglomerate. The story of Quaker Oats’ success is one of a company led by a strong management effectively growing in the face of increasing competition and economic cycles through internal and inorganic growth. Its non-beverage businesses were growing only at 1% in real terms. It had a 10% growth target set, and that target was accomplished through acquisition strategy. To maintain this growth rate the management felt that Snapple presented highly compatible product offering. Overall, the company has used a growth through acquisition strategy and diversification. Diversity is necessary to secure the whole company’s survival. In addition, Quaker Oats thought they had the resources to make Snapple expand internationally. Gatorade Acquisition - A Huge Success Purchase of Gatorade in 1983 (as part of the Stokely-Van Camp purchase) catapulted Quaker to the top of an untapped beverage segment that, to this day, dominates 80% of the market.

TPC also has a small number of private uninsured patients, many of them people from outside the country. TPC bill their insurer customers as soon as the bills are ready to submit, with all medical details and doctor sign offs in place, and the insurers pay twice a month, with a very detailed remittance advice specifying which claims have been paid (and to what extent, and which claims have been cut in part, rejected in full or deferred seeking further information or details). Approximately 90% of claims by number (but slightly less by value) are paid on time by the insurers (many of them at an agreed fixed price for the more typical procedures), but once a claim has been queried or rejected it can take up to nine months or more to be resolved and paid. The insurers will pend, query or reject claims for a variety of reasons, quite typically because the person is no longer a valid insured member but also because the insurers believe the treatment that the member has received was excessive or unjustified and thus unduly expensive for the insurer.

...operating margins shrink in an attempt to acquire 20% market share by 1990. To accomplish this, MCI will need to infuse huge capitals into their business. As per the pro forma statements, MCI would need significant amounts of capital to finance their plans. The figures range from $890 million in 1984 to $2.76 billion in 1987. Looking back at history, MCI has been known for issuing stock and debentures/convertible debentures. To finance their forecasts, MCI will begin by selling $481 million in common stock in 1984 the same way it did in the past. The share price is currently $47 per share and MCI needs to capitalize on the high value while it can. From 1985 to 1989, MCI will sell convertible debentures. A Convertible debenture is a type of loan issued by a company that can be converted into stock by the holder and, under certain circumstances, the issuer of the bond. The debentures allow investors to turn them into stock while at the same time allow MCI to issue more debt. Thus, each year from 1985 to 1989, MCI can take on more debt while converting older ones. The additional cash will provide for MCI’s growth plans and allow them to compete in a dynamic market. Pro Forma Statements Pro Forma statements are helpful in estimating future inflows and outflows. In any growing company, pro forma statements are vital in constructing future plans for growth. For MCI, we made assumptions based off growth in the case book.
