Project - Phase 1 - To Do
    FNCE 390 - Project - Phase 1
    GREENGO LTD.
    Formation of Business
    I    Introduction
        For several years now you have been working with three "boot-strap" business operations involved in
        the manufacture of agricultural crop nutrients. As a "hopeful my big day" business investor you have recently joined
        a boutique venture capital firm. You believe your time has come and have convinced the venture firm
        partners that there is unlimited potential if these three businesses are combined (your fellow school mates).
        You have also convinced your school mates that there are many potential benefits by combining the three operations
        and gaining access to your firms venture capital funding. Believing you, they have asked you to "make it happen "
        and complete the combination. Your documented project plan and implementation steps are outlined below:
        The business's will combine effective Fe
uary 1, 2022 into a single incorporated entity. You will create a
        Fe
uary 1, 2022 Opening Balance sheet reflecting the closing of the business combination transaction.
        The businesses will then transition operations from "as is" to an integrated entity over the next year.
        You will develop the forecast income statement for the first year of operations using the assumptions provided for the
        year ended January 31, 2023 as well as the January 31, 2023 Balance Sheet. You are doing this as you
        believe it will take one year to establish operations before heading down the growth plan you have in mind. Financial
        performance for the first year is based on 2022 combined results of the individual businesses with certain adjustments
        you expect to see from the formation of the new company.
    II    Project Plan
    A    Combination process - Entries for Column H
    1    Complete the column "Combined As Is" Balance Sheet by adding the respective balances of the individual entities.
        Column H reflects the totals of columns B-D-F
    2    Complete the column "Combined As Is" Income Statement by adding the respective balances of the individual entities.
        Column H reflects the totals of columns B-D-F
    3    Review the "Combined As Is" Ratios (each entity has formulas to work with)
        Test check accuracy of ratios in Column H
    B    Incorporation process - revaluation adjustments reflect in Column J - new Balance column K
    1    The incorporation process has been structured such that an incorporated entity created by your firm will acquire
        the operations of each entity. As such all assets are revalued to their fair market values at the time of
        acquisition. The fair market values are:
        Cash        All cash balances of original operations paid to founders - Combined cash = $0
                Opening Balance Sheet cash = $0
        Accounts receivable        Accounts receivable are revalued at 7% higheras no allowance for doubtfuls
        Inventory        Inventory is revalued at 9% lower due to obsolete raw materials
        Prepaid expenses        Transfer $105,000 to Inventory as goods received day of transaction.
        Defe
ed revenue        Reduce by 20% to reflect work completed - record change to venture capital
                short term loan as is considered a purchase adjustment
        Land        combined revised market value per appraisal            2,010,000
        Building         combined revised market value of            2,450,000
        Equipment         increase combined market value to            975,000
        Vehicles        revised market value            380,000
        Accumulated depreciation        Adjusted all historical balances to a zero balance as assets are revalued
                and reflect a new starting value
        Goodwill and intangibles        Add $330,000 for goodwill
        Accounts payable        Due diligence discovered an additional $280,000 in payables
        Income taxes payable        Nones
        Defe
ed tax liability        Add $415,000 for tax effect of transaction as defe
ed tax liability
        Term loan        No change
        Mortgage        No change
        Cu
ent portion of debt        No change
        Due to relatives        Convert 20% of balance to share capital - repay 80% using venture capital
                short term loan
        Proprietorship capital        Convert full balances to share capital
        Partnership capital        Convert full balances to share capital
        Share capital        Proprietor + Partnership capital + 30% of due from relatives converted
        Retained Earnings        None as the start-up of new legal entity
        Venture capital loan        Balancing figure of all other balance sheet balances and adjustments
    C     XXXXXXXXXXOperations - Operational Changes - reflect in XXXXXXXXXXadjustments column (Column P)
    1    Revenues will increase by $7,200,000
    2    Gross profit will be 29% based on XXXXXXXXXXpro forma ending revenues
    3    Selling costs will increase by 11% of incremental sales
    4    Administrating costs will increase by 8% of incremental cost of sales
    5    Amortization will increase by $180,000 per annum (in addition to historical)
    6    Interest expense will increase based on venture capital short term loan balance at 9% interest rate
    7    Income taxes will be 24% of combined incomes as now an incorporated entity - split as
        follows - 25% defe
ed - 75% cu
ent - adjust balance sheet accounts for these amounts
    8    Adjust final accounts receivable balances to reflect a 45 day collection cycle - difference to cash (use 360 days)
    9    Adjust final inventory balances to reflect 57 days on hand - difference to cash (use 360 days)
    10    Adjust final accounts payable balances to reflect a turnover ratio of 72 days - difference to cash (use 360 days)
    11    Acquired new formulation equipment for $154,000 and financed 100% with a new term loan at end of year.
        Term loan is repayable over five years and life of equipment will be 10 years.
    D    Balance Sheet Steps - balancing everything
    1    Columns B through to L will balance at the Balance Sheet level - ignore income statement effects.
    2    Columns N & P must reflect the income statement changes and will balance by recording the balance amount in cash
        If you leave cash blank - the figure reflected in line 57 * -1 should work. Once cash adjusted - line 57 = 0
    3    Column R will balance if 1 and 2 above are balanced
    E    Your Management Report
        Upon completion you are to prepare a
ief report and include as an Appendix your completed Template
        Your report should address the following:
            1) describe 3 benefits of incorporation into a larger entity
            2) 3 areas of financial improvement you want to address going forward based on ratio analysis
            3) identify 3 potential conflicts that could arise between management and your venture capital
            firm
            4) considering your growth plans - what senior management positions would you conside
             necessary to ensure credibility in the financial community? Maximun size is 6 members.
                  
            5) Build the Year 1 cash flow statement to support the change in cash for Year 1
            statement section and add as Appendix
            6) Should dividends be considered at this time.
        Maximum Report length is 2 pages plus Appendices
    F    Project Responsibility
        As you develop the project you are required to report to the Venture Capital Senior Manager to ensure work
        is progressing co
ectly. You are encouraged to ask for assistance at any time - email with questions
        and proposed solutions. DO NOT LEAVE THIS TO LAST MOMENT. Good practice for mid-term preparation.
        Each column must balance at the balance sheet level. Working on a column by column basis will
        be most effective with the respective columns cross adding.
        If a formula exists in a cell - do not alter it. If unsure of what to do - contact the Senior Manager.
        The cells with         require work by you.

GREENGO with the incorporation and forming a larger entity will make the company very competitive in the industry, the benefits of incorporating into a larger entity are as follows:
· Revenue base increase, as a result, the company can achieve economies of scale
· Customers are acquired through the acquisition of companies will ultimately help in increasing the sale of the company, and will result in a profit
· The incorporation will help increase the days to payable ratio, which will help the company reduce the cash conversion cycle.
Areas of Financial Improvement:
· Improving the day’s receivable ratio, the company has a very high day’s receivable ratio of 66 days which is making the cash conversion cycle to be high
· EBIT/Revenue is something which needs to be improved as it is just 8.24% when the gross profit margin is 29%
· Increase the EBIT/Interest, which is already good but improving this will mean that the company increases the EBIT and decreases the interest
Conflicts that could arise between management and venture capital are:
· Conflicts with the position at the senior management
· Strategy which the management is looking to use whereas the strategy which you want to use
· Business income usage conflicts between the senior management and your firm
Senior Management Position which are most important:
1. Chief Financial Office
2. Chief Executive Office
3. Executive Director
4. Chief Information Office
5. Chief Marketing Office
No, dividends should not be considered at this time because the firm is just starting out and with the business opportunity, we can look to reinvest the money instead of distributing them as dividends
