REDW (2013 Financial Audit Report) By Tony Gerlach and Tom Friend 3. Finance Update By Business Talk (Continued from page 4) That may be where a consultant comes in. Most lenders don’t do that. Cash flow is always a vi- tal consideration when ana- lyzing a company. It affects all aspects of the operation. One of those, of course, is debt service for the new fi- nancing. Some of the easily iden- tified variable factors that affect cash flow are: Own- Page 5 ers Salary; Depreciation & Amortization Expense; Rent; and Other Income/Expense. Changes in these areas can often give relatively quick and positive results. Once financing is deter- mined to be approvable, the structuring of the loan be- comes important. A good structure will usually succeed. A bad structure is a sure recipe for failure. Lenders don’t want that. Neither do borrowers. Sometimes there may be a blending of financing from two or more sources with each source having its own rates and conditions. Putting that kind of a deal together is an art. The final result will be bet- ter financing for the business and good business for each of the financing sources. Everybody wins. What a deal. Central Oregon Auto & Truck Repair 85 SW Third St., Madras OR 97741 541-475-2370 Reuben Henry-yes, Delvis Heath-yes, Raymond Tsumpti-yes; Motion Carried 5 yes, 0 Against, 1 out of room, and Vice-Chairman not voting. Students at the Roots education program took part in a mock election before the mid-term vote last week. Roots is the the alter- native education pro- gram to Madras High School, based in Warm Springs. Twenty-two students participated in the mock election. One ballot was disregarded for being marred with an extra mark. Oregon’s 2014 state measures were on the mock ballot, along with U.S. Senate candidates, U.S. representative, Gov- ernor, state representa- tive for the Fifty-Ninth District, and Jefferson County commissioner candidates. The students re- elected incumbents Sen. Jeff Merkley (D) and Rep. Greg Walden (R) to represent Oregon in Wash- ington, D.C. This was the same result as the overall state vote. Gov. Kitzhaber took 38 percent of the votes in the mock election, beating Dennis Richardson. This also was the same result as the state vote. The Roots students ap- proved state Measures 91 and 92. Measure 91 passed statewide, legalizing marijuana subject to state regulation and taxation. Measure 92 failed statewide. This measure would have required food labelling for “genetically engineered” food prod- ucts. Like the voters state- wide, the Roots students voted against Measure 90, which would have changed to Oregon Primary sys- tem.
