Rivalry Among Existing Firms Threat of Substitute Products Threats of New Entrants Industry Growth Concentration Differentiation Switching costs Scale/Learning economies Fixed-Variable costs Excess capacity Exit barrier Scale economies 1st mover advantage Distribution access Relationships Legal barriers Relative price and performance Buyer’s willingness to switch Bargaining Power of Suppliers Bargaining Power of Buyers Switching costs Differentiation Importance of product for cost and quality Number of suppliers Volume per supplier Switching costs Differentiation Importance of product for cost and quality Number of buyers Volume per buyer Industry Structure & Profitability (Porter 5 Forces) DEGREE OF ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL COMPETITION Industry Profitability BARGAINING POWER IN INPUT AND OUTPUT MARKETS
Porter Analysis Rivalry Among Existing Firms: High • 5000 companies in the computer service industry in 1982 • Active competition each of the areas of Anacomp’s services: • computer service area • manufacturers of mainframe computers • companies developing in-house computers service capabilities Threat of New Entrants: High • There is minimal barriers to new entrants Threat of Substitute Products: High • There are 5000 companies in the computer services industry in 1982 • Like Oracle, Microsoft
Porter Analysis Bargaining Power of Buyers (buyer power): High • Anacomp is selling the products to banks only. (The Buyer power is strong) Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Medium • Limited number of qualified IT personnel in the industry during the 1980’s
Additional Risks • Regulatory and technology changes • Reliability and timeless of the services and product provided • Uncertainty about the success and failure of the final product

3 1 • Additional Financing from Third Party • Partners: $1.444-million • Bank Loan: $3.25-million • Anacomp Loan: $2.2-million • Additional Loan: $1.5-million RTS Associates ANACOMP® RTS Associates the Separate Entity • RTS Associates established November 1979 (initial funding unknown) • Additional funding from third parties • R&D expenses incurred by Anacomp, Inc. charged to RTS Associates R&D expenses incurred 2

RTS Associates ANACOMP® RTS Associates a Separate Entity • Anacomp does not consolidate RTS • Anacomp’s expenses are offset by payments from RTS • All debt and expense of software are in general ledger of RTS • Financial statement of RTS are not reported separately SEVERE CONFLICT OF INTEREST!!! • Top managers of Anacomp, Inc. are also part owners of RTS Associates • Partners: $1.444-million • Purchase CIS: $16-million • (actual cost: $6-million + $1.5-million)
Current Situation Case: • A new development of software called Continuous integrated system (CIS) for the major financial institutions. • The company had entered an agreement in November 1979 with a limited partnership, RTS associates. • Anacomp will develop the CIS system on behalf of the partnership
Adjustment • Anacomp is reporting billing to limited partnerships as revenue on the income statement (P13) => Anacomp is transferring certain amount of debt to RTS and report that as revenue of the company. In actual, it is not appropriate (Assume revenue reduction of 20%)
Adjustment • When Anacomp buy back the software, CIS, from RTS, it seems like the software is overpriced. The initial investment of the software is about $6 millions plus administration and expenses but Anacomp buy back at $16 million => There may be some conflict of interest as a couple of the Officers and Directors in Anacomp also invest in the partnership agreement, Anacomp may overpay the product (write down assumed asset of 30%)
Adjustment • In the financial statement, Goodwill is amortized over 40 years (P16) => For a high tech company, it appears to be too long. It should be amortize over 7 years
Adjustment • In the financial statement, Software purchase is amortized over 5 to 10 years (P16) => For a high tech company, it appears to be too long. It should be amortize over 4 years
Adjustment • Debt capital raise from limited partnership to develop other software does not appear in the Balance Sheet. (P18-19) => The estimate debt raise from the limited partnership are as follow: EFT, CEFT, CBS, CIBS
Adjustment • The total debt should included payment under lease as lease is a form of borrowing => Assume interest rate incurred for borrowing is about 14% and the present value of annuity over 5 years is 3.433* (P23)

Forecast Assumptions • Drivers • Sales Growth • NOPAT Margin (Net Operating Profits After Taxes/Sales) • After-Tax Net Interest Rate on Debt • Net Operating Working Capital/Sales • Net Operating Long-Term Assets/Sales • Net Debt/Net Capital • Cost of Equity
Forecast Assumptions • Sales Growth • High-Tech Industry – Extensive R&D • Optimistic = Extremely High Sales • Capitalize on development projects with EFT, CEFT, CBS, and CIBS • Assume 200.0% Sales Growth • Pessimistic = Extremely Low Sales • R&D projects under development could potentially be unrealized • Assume 50.0% Sales Growth – based on historical results (i.e. status quo) • Terminal Year • Assume 7.5% Sales Growth – Average Economic Sales Growth
Forecast Assumptions • NOPAT Margin • Optimistic • Assume 20.0% • High NOPAT margin due to high sales • Most costs already incurred through product development • May incur some distribution & tailoring costs • Pessimistic • Assume 6.5% • Typically increase by historical amount for a couple periods before leveling off • Terminal Year • Assume 5.0% - Average Economic NOPAT
Forecast Assumptions • After-Tax Net Interest Rate on Debt • Assume 5% • Net Interest Rate = Interest x (1 – Tax) • Interest Rate for 1980’s is 10% • Anacomp Tax rate is 50% • Net Operating Working Capital/Sales • Assume 25.0% • Based on historical – capital structure will not tend to change significantly
Forecast Assumptions • Net Operating Long-Term Assets/Sales • Optimistic = 20.0% • Software already developed • Assume 50% for Optimistic & Pessimistic for simplicity based on historical values • Net Debt/Net Capital • Assume 50% • -ve value = more cash than debt • +ve value = more debt than cash
Forecast Assumptions • Cost of Equity • Assume 14.0% • Reasonable estimate size of Anacomp and time period
Valuation • Discounted Abnormal Earnings • Present value of forecasted earnings • Manager’s estimates included in forecasts • Advantages • Accurate estimates provided mangers choose appropriate accounting methods • Disadvantages • Inappropriate accounting methods result in noise • Discounted Cash Flow Analysis • Present value of forecasted cash flows • Inside information of managers ignored • Advantages • Inappropriate accounting methods smoothed • Disadvantages • If accounting methods appropriate, omits valuable inside information from managers • Valuation Based on price Multiples • Values firm based on comparison to other similar firms • Advantages • Market valuation • Disadvantages • Market may not be efficient • Should be compared with other valuation models
Valuation Optimistic Pessimistic • Negative Valuation – 2 Interpretations • 1. Limitations of the spreadsheet • 2. Anacomp not worth the price! • Reference Dot.Com companies • Price Earnings Method – Valuation based on the market • Is the market correct, or are we correct? • Options Pricing Method – May be a better method for valuation • Based on the probability of success of the company • Commonly used in valuation of bankrupt companies – e.g. Delphi
