Overview
In the fourth webinar session, participants review the competitive forces at work that management must influence and control to assure sufficient profit and cash flow in servicing interest-bearing debt. Based on all the information at their disposal and an assessment of management competence, they identify the most likely projection values for the Business Drivers. They manually create a projected UCA cash flow statement using a Cash Flow Snapshot worksheet to translate projection assumptions to results. Based on the projected performance, participants identify the likely future sources of cash to service interest-bearing debt, given the loan request and associated debt service requirements.

- Identify the competitive forces at work in the borrower's market and assess their likely impact on key Business Drivers and subsequent financial performance.
- Shape pragmatic assumptions about future Business Driver values in both a "most likely" and "worst case" projection scenario.
- Identify borrowing causes, cash repayments sources, likely repayment risks, and possible mitigants to those risks based on the projected UCA cash flow statement.
- Identify the likely amount of additional short and long term interest-bearing debt required by the borrower and compare those amounts with the borrower's requests based on the projected UCA cash flow statement.
