Proforma statements assist financial managers to plan accordingly, in terms of the company’s financial needs. How much financing is needed and when it is needed can be determined by acquiring an estimate of the company’s future balance sheet accounts and income statement.

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.

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.

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.
