ABSTRACT


This manual explains how to use the FastFive microcomputer program. FastFive: 5 Year
Feasibility and Financial Statement Analysis Program provides the structure and method for
developing a five year analysis using a minimum dataset. It helps combine information from
crop, livestock, and other budgets into a financial outlook which includes cash flows, debt
payments, balance sheets, income statements and financial ratios with some diagnostics. This
program works well as a supplement to many financial and/or budgeting packages, including
FarmMgr. ALTCROP. BUDTIME. and FINPACK. FastFive quickly generates easy to use what-if
scenarios, especially with respect to longer term price, yield, interest rate, acreage and cost
variations.

FOREWORD


"To the extent that we can control the future we do not have to forecast it (just as we
do not forecast the weather in our homes because we control it). To the extent that we can
respond rapidly and effectively to changes that we neither control nor expect (as in driving
an automobile), we need not forecast them. The better we can adapt to what we do not
control, the less we need to control."1 The goal of FastFive is not only to improve the
manager's forecasting ability but to enable managers to Increase their control of the future
and their ability to respond rapidly and effectively to what they do not control.

Some long range goals and objectives should be discovered before building a forecast. It
is best to look as far into the future as possible, then step back and look at some specifics
on how to get there. Common long-term goals may be to provide stockholders, partners
and/or heirs with a certain level of income, growth, land, livelihood, and/or diversity of
business. Once these goals are established, FastFive can help managers find the specifics of
how to achieve these goals, provide some foundation for daily decisions, and adapt to
unpredictable changes. We need not have exact or even close forecasts to get a feel for how
to adapt.

Visualizing future financial positions becomes very time consuming without the aid of a
computer. It becomes even harder to visualize when changes in our climatic, economic, and/or
political environment occur. Planning is a continual process that prepares us to adapt. Ben
Franklin said, "Look before, or you will find yourself behind". If you do not know where you
are going, you can not adapt. If you do not know some specifics about where you're going,
you will not adapt quickly enough and probably incorrectly. FastFive makes it possible to
run multiple scenarios that will show the various impacts, dangers, and opportunities of these
changes in environment.

Description


FastFive (5 Year Feasibility and Financial Statement Analysis Program) provides the
structure and method for developing a five year analysis using a minimum dataset. It helps
combine information from crop, livestock and other budgets into a financial outlook which
includes cash flows, debt payments, balance sheets, income statements, and financial ratios
with some diagnostics. FastFive quickly creates easy to use what-if scenarios, especially with
respect to longer term price, yield, interest rate, acreage, and cost fluctuations.


Specifications

FastFive requires 256k of memory, and is compatible with MS-DOS computers using a
using 1-2-3 compatible software package (such as Lotus, Quattro, As-Easy-As, PlanPerfect, VP
Planner). No programming knowledge is required, but FastFive does require some spreadsheet
skills.

1-2-3 compatibility was chosen as the analysis environment not only for its well-known
user interface, but because it is widely used by farmers, lending institutions, and training is
available from many universities and community colleges. As the user becomes more familiar
with using these spreadsheets and FastFive, the two programs will provide a framework from
which individuals can modify or create decision tools designed to meet their own needs and
preferences.


Making Backuo Copies

Before using FastFive for the first time protect the original distribution disk by making
a backup copy of it. This backup copy will be your day-to-day working copy. Place the
original disk in a safe location. If your working disk should ever develop a fatal error you
will always have the original disk from which you can make a new working copy. To make a
backup copy, refer to DISKCOPY (floppy drives), subdirectories (hard drives) and the COPY
commands in the MS-DOS users manual.


Starting FastFive

To start a FastFive session from a dual floppy disk system follow these steps:
1. Put your FastFive working disk in drive B.
2. Start your spreadsheet program. Refer to their manuals for instructions on
loading.
3. If Drive B is not the default drive, use the command /FD (File Directory),
type B:\.
To start a FastFive session from a hard disk follow these steps:
1. Put your FastFive working disk in drive A.
2. Use the DOS commands MD and CD to make and change to a sub-directory
called FASTFIVE. Use COPY A:*.* to copy the FastFive files.
3. Start your spreadsheet program. Refer to their manuals for instructions on
loading.
4. Use the command /FD (File Directory) and provide the appropriate drive letter
and subdirectory name (Ex. C:\FASTFIVE).

Lastly: Use the /FR (File Retrieve) to load FastFive. Lotus IA users should /FR the
filename "FASTFIVE.wks", all other users should retrieve FASTFIVE.wkl. The
filename "BLANK" is a clean FastFive spreadsheet with zeros as data. After
retrieving "FASTFIVE", the first screen of FastFive should be displayed (Figure 1).









Enterprise Cash Flows1

The first screen displayed is a five year enterprise cash flow for crop #1, presented
annually. It calculates the net cash flow for a particular enterprise based upon Price, Yield,
Cash Cost/Acre, and number of Acres to be planted. By providing this minimum data set into
the first year's highlighted cells, a flat-strategy scenario will be calculated, by default. The
remaining years can be altered to reflect different scenarios by entering new values or by
editing the current formula to reflect changes. For example: Edit cell F7 from +E7 to,
+E7+.10, a ten cents per bushel increase, or to +E7*1.1 or +E7*.9, a 10 percent increase or
decrease in the value. This change could be copied to the remaining years to reflect a
consistent change over time. The worksheet calculates the results each time a new entry is
made. It is also possible to set recalculation to manual (/WGRM) and use the function key F9
(Calc) each time you wish to recalculate.

The page down (PgDn) key displays the screen located just below crop #1 to bring up
crop/enterprise #2 which may then be analyzed. The user may analyze up to 10 enterprises
by using the PgDn key to move down to each. PgUp will move the user back up to the
previous enterprise and the Home key will take the user to the first screen, crop #1. More
experienced spreadsheet users can expand the number the enterprises to a number limited only
by the computer memory. Most computers will handle over a hundred enterprises. Creating
more than ten enterprises is not difficult. Simply perform a worksheet insert row (/WIR) for
16 rows, copy the 16 rows from an existing crop screen to the newly created 16 rows, and
add the gross sales and total cost cells to the Total Enterprise Sales & Cash Expenses
formulas in the cash flow section. The NET FLOW (before Op.Loan) line at the top of each
screen provide users with a reference of how changes in a particular section affects the
overall cash flow status of the entire business.

Balance Sheet2


Just below all the enterprise screens (10 (PgDn)'s from Home or F5 (GoTo Key) then BS)
are the balance sheets screens. This screen is the asset section, the next (PgDn) is the
Liability & Equity section. Once again, providing the base numbers in the highlighted cells
will produce a flat-strategy scenario. Be careful to include all assets (such as land and assets
associated with the land) and all liabilities including personal loans used in the business.
Generally analysts suggest that assets be assessed at market value so the analysis can be
compared to alternatives such as the disposition of some or all the assets and/or the
reinvestment of the funds. It is still possible to produce a "book value or cost" balance sheet
and compare with the differences of the market value approach. Care should be taken when
adding large purchases in the mid stream of the analysis. Typically these purchases need to
be added to the asset section, the liability section for financing acquired, and the cash flow
statement under Purchase and Other Inflows (Loans).

Debt is analyzed on an aggregate basis for simplicity. You may group your liabilities
into Operating, Intermediate, and Long-Term and add them up. More advanced spreadsheet
users may wish to develop side schedules to sum itemized debt as well as other input
requirements such as assets, cost per acre, and other cash flow items. Itemizing may not be
necessary in all cases, such as feasibility analysis of a new business, but is recommended for
older or more complex operations.

Cash Flow1

The whole-business cash flow section (2 (PgDn)'s from the Balance Sheet section or the
F5 (GoTo Key) then CF)) automatically combines the enterprise cash flows, the cash balance
and the loan balances with all other cash flow items to show annual cash needs and
surpluses. All labor should be allocated to the appropriate enterprises. Any labor not easily
split between enterprises should fall under Unallocated Cash Expenses. Off-farm income used
by the business should be recorded as Additional Paid-in Capital. Use the grouping in the
liability section to sum the loan payments required annually. Again, for the more
experienced, side schedules may be developed to provide and sum the detail of any values.

FastFive may also be used to look at the effects of refinancing old operations or
financing new operations. The operating loan is automatically paid off and extended as cash
is needed. Therefore the line, NET CASH FLOW will contain new financing which may distort
the true cash performance for the year, so focus on the line, NET FLOW (before Op.Loan) to
identify cash flow problems or successes. The reference line mentioned earlier which is
displayed at the top of each section is this NET FLOW line.

Income Statement3


The income statement screen, (PgDn}, subtracts total expenses from total revenue. Note
that depreciation is an expense item and not a cash item and capital flows (Withdrawals &
Contributions) and loan principal are cash items and not income statement items. IRS tax
depreciation methods may be used such as straight line or double declining balance-
Quattro/1-2-3 Rel 2 functions @SLN & @DDB). Net Income provides the user with an
approximation of business income before taxes.

Financial Ratios4

These financial ratios (one (PgDn) from the Income Statement) provide a basis for
comparison with other scenarios. Return on Equity (ROE) indicates how well equity is
performing in this operation. If a planned change in the enterprise mix increases ROE, then
this alternative's feasibility should be investigated further, especially for concerns such as
additional expenditures and risk associated with the new enterprise or technology practice.
ROE is also often compared to capital market rates (i.e. CDs, bond yields, etc).

The Return on Assets (ROA) ratio provides the same kind of comparison except it shows
what performance will be if the operation was not carrying debt. Debt/Assets shows the
fraction (0.50=50%) of assets financed. The leverage ratio (Debt/Equity) shows the operation's
position (leverage) in obtaining additional financing. The current ratio (CA/CL) shows ability
of the operation to pay its short term debts. The working capital ratio is similar but
includes intermediate items. The gross ratio (0.94=94%) shows the amount of cash expenses
required to generate revenue. The expense structure ratio (0.04=4%) shows the portion of cash
outflow which is obligated to loan payments and the debt structure ratio (0.29=29%) shows the
portion of debt that is current (due within twelve months).

Summary


FastFive is an efficient way to gain insight into a multitude of scenarios, quickly. It
can test alternatives and variations in things such as crops, livestock, technology, prices, yield
fluctuations, financing, interest rates, firm size, etc., with immediate results reported on
screen and printed format. Further, the Quattro/1-2-3 data table (/DT) command option can
generate one and two-way tables for any given array of variations. FastFive also provides
users with the ability to expand and customize their analysis in a very simple and straight
forward structure.
