Thanks for the link. Greatly appreciated: can anyone explain what this means though: Is this a good thing or is it a bad thing????
1. What to Include: Income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flow must be included. • Historical data of the Applicant for the last 4 years, or for as long as the Applicant has been in business, if less than 4 years, must be entered into the templates and also submitted into the RUS DCS Operating Report System. • Pro-forma data of the Applicant for 5 years must be entered into the templates. • In addition to the above, the last 3 fiscal year ending audited financial statements must be submitted. If audited statements are not available, the Applicant must submit unaudited financial statements reports for those years. • If the Applicant has a parent company and/or one or more subsidiaries, the historical financials for the preceding fiscal year of those entities are also required. Audited financial statements are preferred; however, see the preceding item for unaudited alternatives if audited financial statements are not available. These statements do not have to be entered into DCS. http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/utp_proforma.html
