  • Patent number: 7177834
    Abstract: A financial simulation computer program product and method to create a project preparation, negotiating, and testing environment using standard project finance tools. A computer usable medium having computer-readable program code is embodied in a medium for generating financial statements, financial data, charts, graphs and reports using the standard project finance tools. The product and method allow automatically generated or manual entry of and editing of capital expenditure time series for multiple contracts in multiple capital expenditure categories. Limited recourse including debt service reserve accounts, stand-by loans and risk-sharing with suppliers and off-takers is taken into account. A desired financing time horizon is selected for each loan. For each loan the user can either manually enter disbursements or select a capital expenditure category and finance a percentage of the category. A loan disbursement time series is automatically generated.

  • Publication number: 20030182225
    Abstract: A financial simulation computer program product and method to generate a graphic user interface at a workstation which creates a project preparation, negotiating, and testing environment using standard project finance tools. A computer usable medium having computer-readable program code is embodied in a medium for generating financial statements, financial data, charts, graphs and reports using the standard project finance tools. The product and method allow the user to automatically generate and manually edit one variable interest rate time series (scaleable to more reference variable interest rate time series as computing power increases). The user can also choose for an individual loan a fixed interest rate, a variable interest rate or a manual interest rate. A three-stage production process can be specified. An intermediate product can be used as input for next stage or can be sold. Intermediate produce can be procured to prevent production losses due to shortfall of intermediate product.

    Abstract: A financial simulation computer program product and method to generate a graphic user interface at a workstation which creates a project preparation, negotiating, and testing environment using standard project finance tools. A computer usable medium having computer-readable program code is embodied in a medium for generating financial statements, financial data, charts, graphs and reports using the standard project finance tools. The product and method allows the user to apply cash from the cash account to close a financing gap. Two interest earning accounts can be specified to deposit surplus cash. Furthermore, the user can draw down a loan to close an existing financing gap up to a loan maximum according to the position of the loan in a loan rank hierarchy. The user can draw down a loan to close a percentage of an existing financing gap.
