1. What has created the need for additional finance by AMT since 1983?

Extraordinary sales growth for AMT of 30% annually is resulting in major operating losses, and external funds are necessary to be able to continue with this rapid expansion. The net operating losses from 1983-1985 were $1,289,000 in 1983; $1,176,000 in 1984; and $1,487,000 in 1985. The bulk of these losses were a direct result of both SG&A and R&D.
The President of AMT believes that sales will continue to grow at the same rate at 30% annually for the next 5 years. However, cost of goods sold and SG& A is growing at 45% and 40% respectively. In addition, accounts receivable has also continued growing at 96.75% over the last 2 years, and thus, the cash cycle time has also increased. The 2-year growth rate for R&D is high at 89.22%, which has led to a shortage in cash.
All of these things have resulted in the additional need for financing by AMT to maintain its current market position and to aggressively enter new markets.
The Net Working Capital of AMT is the Current Assets less the Current Liabilities. | | | | | | | | | | 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | 1989 | 1990 | Current Assets | $7,617 | $12,370 | $17,700 | 17,848 | 23,203 | 30,164 | 39,213 | 50,977 | Current Liabilities | $2,965 | $11,056 | $9,942 | 4,510 | 5,853 | 7,599 | 9,869 | 12,820 | NWC | $4,652 | $1,314 | $7,758 | $13,338 | $17,350 | $22,565 | $29,344 | $38,157 |

Based on the above information, NWC has increased over the last 6 years. The current assets are made up of accounts receivable and inventories, as well as cash and cash

    A bit of a concern in a year with decreased sales and profits and increased debt is the increase in “other expenses.” This could be an indicator that management is not watching the budget and allowing spending to get out of control. If not watched and controlled these “other expenses” could continue to grow and take more money and cause a larger strain on the finances of the company. Part of the concern is also the difficulty to plan for an increase in non-essential spending and increasing by 4% is quite a jump.…

    It is my belief that the retreat was not successful because there was ineffective communication to the hospital administrators. The retreat should have been an opportunity to motivate the individuals that attended to make choices to increase the organizations value by impressing on everyone that the organization can become more competitive by aligning the plans, processes, decisions, reporting, people, actions, and results effectively. This would include them understanding the importance of the needed information (accurate and complete reporting) and how it would improve the security of the organization and increase the organizational value. The hospital itself is a system, a sociotechnical system that people and machines carry out specific actions that follow specific procedures and guidelines. It should be explained that top management is interested in seamless and cost effective operation of the organization.…
