1、176 24 CFR Ch. V (4110 Edition) Pt. 572 appropriate) were determined to be realistic and met the projects break-even point (which is generally the point at which all revenues are equal to all expenses). Gen-erally speaking, an economic development project that does not reach this break-even point ov
2、er time is not financially feasible. The following should be noted in this regard: A. some projects make provisions for a negative cash flow in the early years of the project while space is being leased up or sales volume built up, but the projects pro-jections should take these factors into ac-coun
3、t and provide sources of financing for such negative cash flow; and B. it is expected that a financially viable project will also project sufficient revenues to provide a reasonable return on equity in-vestment. The recipient should carefully ex-amine any project that is not economically able to pro
4、vide a reasonable return on equity investment. Under such circumstances, a business may be overstating its real equity investment (actual costs of the project may be overstated as well), or it may be over-stating some of the projects operating ex-penses in the expectation that the difference will be
5、 taken out as profits, or the business may be overly pessimistic in its market share and revenue projections and has downplayed its profits. ii. In addition to the financial under-writing reviews carried out earlier, the re-cipient should evaluate the experience and capacity of the assisted business
6、 owners to manage an assisted business to achieve the projections. Based upon its analysis of these factors, the recipient should identify those elements, if any, that pose the greatest risks contributing to the projects lack of finan-cial feasibility. 5. Return on equity investment. To the ex-tent
7、practicable, the CDBG assisted activity should provide not more than a reasonable return on investment to the owner of the as-sisted activity. This will help ensure that the grantee is able to maximize the use of its CDBG funds for its economic development objectives. However, care should also be ta
8、ken to avoid the situation where the owner is likely to receive too small a return on his/ her investment, so that his/her motivation remains high to pursue the business with vigor. The amount, type and terms of the CDBG assistance should be adjusted to allow the owner a reasonable return on his/her
9、 in-vestment given industry rates of return for that investment, local conditions and the risk of the project. 6. Disbursement of CDBG funds on a pro rata basis. To the extent practicable, CDBG funds used to finance economic development ac-tivities should be disbursed on a pro rata basis with other
10、funding sources. Recipients should be guided by the principle of not plac-ing CDBG funds at significantly greater risk than non-CDBG funds. This will help avoid the situation where it is learned that a prob-lem has developed that will block the com-pletion of the project, even though all or most of
11、the CDBG funds going in to the project have already been expended. When this happens, a recipient may be put in a po-sition of having to provide additional financ-ing to complete the project or watch the po-tential loss of its funds if the project is not able to be completed. When the recipient de-t
12、ermines that it is not practicable to dis-burse CDBG funds on a pro rata basis, the re-cipient should consider taking other steps to safeguard CDBG funds in the event of a de-fault, such as insisting on securitizing assets of the project. 60 FR 1953, Jan. 5, 1995 PART 572HOPE FOR HOMEOWN-ERSHIP OF S
