Forecast of Operating Revenues and Expenses

Introduction AMS Planning & Research has developed financial projections for a "base year" of operations which is assumed to be the third year after opening when operations have stabilized. No allowance has been made for additional "start up" funds that will be required during the planning, development, pre-opening and first two years of operation. Following is a description of the format and structure of the pro-forma, followed by a detailed review of assumptions and guidelines. It must be recognized that the resulting program of events, presented below, is not an exact forecast of activity, given that:
  • The building will not be operational for at least three years
  • The level of demand will be affected by the actual dates made available for specific use and users. This is to say that the demand for dates might be diminished by the fact that there are limited Saturday nights available in a year
Format and Structure The complete operating projections are presented in the Appendix which includes: a review of the assumptions used in the estimates, use forecasts and a summary of operations; a summary of revenues from rentals and ancillary activities (based on the forecast of use); detailed expenses for the administration, operation and occupancy of the theaters; as well as the result of operations; specifies salaries and benefits for staff
