Feastudy 6.0 Professional - Devfeas Pty Ltd

Feastudy 6.0 Professional is the best computer software for the financial feasibility study of Australian real estate development and investment proposals in a Microsoft Windows ® environment.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional is the industry standard software tool for developers, investors and valuers for investigating:

• The financial feasibility of undertaking property development projects.
• After-tax investment feasibility studies for income-producing real estate.
• Real estate values of property development sites and property investments.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional can quickly, accurately and comprehensively calculate and display forecast profit and loss statements (including margin and internal rate of return information) monthly cashflows, sensitivity analysis tables for variations in critical variables (such as construction cost and interest rates) and inputs detail reports for all types of development proposals.

Graphs for development proposals are also available for viewing on-screen and printing to paper.

Comprehensive financial information for an investment proposal is given in similar types of reports in Feastudy 6.0 Professional, taking into account the investor's borrowing interest rate, equity, marginal tax rate, negative gearing, depreciation on building, plant and equipment, capital gains tax, rental escalation, etc.

When the user enters his or her required IRR and/or margin criteria, after all other relevant variables have been entered, Feastudy 6.0 Professional can be used to help determine the residual value of a development site for a particular development proposal and it can also be used to determine the residual investment value for an investment proposal.

In addition to investment feasibility studies, Feastudy 6.0 Professional also provides the following features:

(1) Data entry and calculations for secondary debt (“mezzanine”) finance, in addition to primary debt finance, for development proposals;

(2) The ability to export reports to Microsoft Word and Excel programs (97 or higher);

(3) The consolidation of cashflow output from up to and including thirty development data files;

(4) Monthly, quarterly and annual cashflow interval options for development and investment studies;

(5) Loan to value ratios (LVRs) for development cashflows; and

(6) An email facility as a “hotline” for queries or feedback.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional is user-friendly in that it enables easy entry of data in a logical and consistent fashion, gives explanatory text for all data inputs, provides context-sensitive help for all data entry windows, allows convenient functions for creating, copying and deleting cost or income items in lister windows and gives on-screen and hardcopy report information in a comprehensive and easily understood format.

Advantages of the Feastudy 6.0 Professional Program

• It is quick, accurate and comprehensive, in dealing with all types of development and investment proposals, including multi-staged and multi componented projects.
• It can give you all of the critical information you need for four types of property feasibility studies: development, investment, development site valuation and investment valuation.
• The program's output is readily acceptable information for property financiers and accountants.
• Feastudy 6.0 Professional can save you many hours of time creating and maintaining a feasibility study/cashflow worksheet on a spreadsheet program because only data entry is required. The program sets up a cashflow according to the dates you enter. No re-programming is required.
• It gives you the certainty that, even though your data from development to development or investment to investment will vary, the program will deal with your inputs in the same flexible and consistent fashion for all calculations. This means you can compare project or investment returns on an "apples for apples" basis.
• Sensitivity analysis tables and graphs for critical variables help you readily perceive the importance of securing a certain sale price, a certain interest rate, etc. to achieve required returns.
• The program is very user friendly and its reports are very reader friendly.
• Considering the time it can save you and its reliability, Feastudy 6.0 Professional is an inexpensive tool for the important job of establishing financial feasibility.

Feastudy 6.0 Professional's GST & Taxes Features

• A GST rate can be entered which applies to specific costs and incomes for development and investment proposals and residual land or investment value calculations. (The default GST rate is 10%).
• GST input tax credits on costs and GST debits on income for developments and investments are calculated and displayed in the upgraded Cashflow Report; and summaries of GST amounts appear in the Forecast Profit & Loss Statements and in the new GST Summary Report.
• The current Capital Gains Tax formula for dealing with investment properties purchased after the 21st September 1999 has been incorporated into the program, enabling accurate and up-to-date feasibility return calculations.
• Databases for Australian capital cities' property rates and taxes scales have been incorporated into the program for the financial year 2006-2007 and these scales can be edited as the scales change.
