Financial Plan

The most important element in the financial plan is the critical need for improving several of the key factors that impact cash flow:

  1. We must at any cost stop the slide in inventory turnover and develop better inventory management to bring the turnover back up to eight turns by the third year. This should also be a function of the shift in focus toward service revenues to add to the hardware revenues.
  2. We must also bring the gross margin back up. This, too, is related to improving the mix between hardware and service revenues, because the service revenues offer much better margins.
  3. We plan to extend our Private Placement for another two month. The funds will enable DCH to purchase the software company, and begin to market our hardware, and service to their established clients. 

Our financial plan seems agressive when compared to our past performance; however, it really isn’t. We must use our sales force, and the dealers and consultants that have signed with us, to jointly sell the S.E.A.T. Management program to its fullest potential. This program officially started on July 1, 2003, and we have already closed sales in companies that we have not been able to sell to in the past.

7.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table. The key underlying assumptions are:

  • We assume a slow-growth economy, without major recession.
  • We assume of course that there are no unforeseen changes in technology to make products immediately obsolete.
  • We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan as shown in the tables.
General Assumptions
FY 2004 FY 2005 FY 2006 FY 2007 FY 2008
Plan Month 1 2 3 4 5
Current Interest Rate 10.00% 10.00% 10.00% 10.00% 10.00%
Long-term Interest Rate 10.00% 10.00% 10.00% 10.00% 10.00%
Tax Rate 30.00% 30.00% 30.00% 30.00% 30.00%
Other 1 1 1 1 1

7.2 Break-even Analysis

For our break-even analysis, we assume fixed costs and margins based on projections for the coming year. We hope to attain high margin in the future. The chart shows what we need our divisions to produce in revenueper month to break even, according to these assumptions.

Break-even Analysis
Monthly Units Break-even 392
Monthly Revenue Break-even $1,154,547
Assumptions:
Average Per-Unit Revenue $2,946.68
Average Per-Unit Variable Cost $884.01
Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost $808,183

7.3 Projected Profit and Loss

The most important assumption in the Projected Profit and Loss statement is the Gross Margin, which is supposed to increase over the last year’s performance. The increase in Gross Margin is based on changing our sales and marketing mix, and it is critical.

DCH is housed in the corporate administrative offices of KMCI, and does not have to pay rent, utilities, office equipment depreciation and other insurance other than normal FICA, Social Security, and Medicare on its employees. Month-by-month assumptions for profit and loss are included in the appendices.

7.4 Projected Cash Flow

The cash flow depends on assumptions of sales by the KMCI sales team, and on servicing our existing clients. Our projected 60 day collection days is critical, and it is also reasonable. We do need to assume somewhat standard receivables-based credit line, but aside from that, which is supported entirely by receivables, we are not assuming any new borrowing, or funding to support the KMCI operation. KMCI is self supporting.

We have not included the revenue of the proposed acquisition of the software company. The software company does have, and has maintained a strong profit margin; however, we are too early into the acquisition process to begin to forecast additional revenues coming from this proposed acquisition.

7.7 Long-term Plan

We expect to increase our KMCI sales substantially by 2008, while also increasing gross margin. To achieve this will require the sales force to sell reasonable numbers of units each month. In the past our greatest problem was simply that our sales force was not effective. We have designed and implemented programs to correct this problem, and it has been working.
