11. Proprietary and Confidential Move To True Sustainability

13. Let’s Start With The Basics Five questions you need to ask: Tells you how engaged ownership is in business Reveals how profitability is calculated Validates that there is a system to understand true costs of business Confirms if company has built sustainable infrastructure 13 ™ &©

15. 15 What You need to askWhat You want to hear Walk me through how you calculate velocity of money? We calculate velocity of money by tracking the steps and how quickly $1 of investment is returned to us. This enables us to know exactly how long it takes to get our return on investment. If You HearIt Means What do you mean by velocity of money? They do not actively manage/measure key financial activities like creating an invoice, A/R collection duration. Typically they are using a line of credit as a lifeline that continually grows. Question 2 ™ &©

16. Question 3 16 What You need to askWhat You want to hear What is your cost to quote? How much does it cost you to prepare a quote? There is a fully cross-functional team; there is a template that all participants contribute to; prices updated monthly on all core buy items; targeted GM vs gross GM. If You HearIt Means What do you mean or we have a quote engineer who reviews? Suspect accountability at best; little traction/reporting on how quotes are developed and priced. ™ &©

17. Question 4 17 What You need to askWhat You want to hear What is the smallest order you'll entertain? Actual order numbers based on gross margin relationship to cost to prepare quotes. If You HearIt Means I don’t know what you mean?Company is packing dollar bills with each order. ™ &©

18. Question 5 18 What You need to askWhat You want to hear What is your WACC?We know exactly what our costs of equity and debt are. If You HearIt Means What is WACC? Or, my CFO calculates it only when we need to do a transaction! Business Owner and Stakeholders do not know the relationship between WACC and cap rate. If the company wants to sell ultimately, have no idea how to approach. ™ &©
