DealSense Plus+ frees you from mind-numbing spreadsheets (PDF) so you can focus on the implications of the numbers and value-creating strategies.
The key components of DealSense Plus+ are interwoven and build upon each other for a more focused and in-depth review of an acquisition:
Insightful Financial Analysis
The system includes the analytical tools you need to assess historic and adjusted (recast or normalized) financial statements as well as Pre-Acquisition projected financial statements. The analytical tools include common-size statements (detail and summary), tradition business ratios, Z-Score risk assessment, Sustainable Growth model, DuPont analysis and MoneySoft's Five-Minute Diagnostic(tm).
Detailed Financial Projections
The system allows you to prepare two sets of fully linked, line-item projections of the Income Statements, Balance Sheets, Statements of Cash Flows, Statements of Retained Earnings and Sources & Uses of Funds. You have control over every line-item assumption. Projections are prepared on monthly and annual basis using Pre- and Post-Acquisition assumptions.
Fair Market Valuation
The methods and approaches necessary to prepare a supportable, Fair Market Valuation are included. The system was designed to conform to the rigid standards of Practitioners Publishing Company’s (a Thompson Company) Guide to Business Valuations authored by Shannon P. Pratt, Jay E. Fishman, J. Clifford Griffith, D. Keith Wilson and Stanton L. Meltzer, recognized leaders in the field of business valuation. The Fair Market Valuation is available to provide a reference point when considering purchase price.
Pricing and Deal Structuring
Embedded in DealSense Plus+ is a pricing approach that is designed to inoculate a buyer from paying too much for an acquisition—the “winner’s curse.” There are numerous metrics and data points that will guide a buyer toward a viable acquisition price and structure.
Financial Simulation
DealSense Plus+ includes a second set of detailed financial projections that allow you to evaluate the impact of a multitude of assumptions. Purchase price, structure, and an array of funding options are integrated into the projections along with the impact of operating assumptions. The projections automatically update as assumptions are changed to provide instant feedback on their implications to support the negotiating and decision-making process.
Post-Acquisition Risk Assessment
Post-acquisition financial projections are subjected to a number of analytical tests that point to potential problems. This assessment includes tradition ratios and common-size statements along with Z-Score and the Sustainable Growth model.
Free Cash Flow ROI Modeling
The system includes various metrics based on Free Cash Flow to analyze the returns on Total Invested Capital and Invested Equity. Returns are calculated for both the business entity and investor groups.
Executive-level Presentation and Reporting
The tools you need to create professional, in-depth reports and visual presentations are included. The user can print any schedule (individually or as a batch) with just a click of the mouse. A built-in graphing utility helps bring the analysis to life. A “smart” report generation system is included to link the user’s numeric analysis with a preformatted narrative that automatically documents the analysis. This narrative can be easily edited in Microsoft Word. The acquisition report can be adapted for presentation to senior management, funding sources and other members of the acquisition team.
Corporate finance professionals, M&A advisors, investment bankers and savvy business buyers use DealSense Plus+ to streamline acquisition analysis and planning so they can focus on value-building strategies. Use DealSense Plus+ to make sure your deals make sense.
