Our financial plan is based on raising approximately $349,000 by way of private equity investment.
We will achieve profitability in just over two years and due to the nature of the exponential growth of access charges, we will realize an excellent percentage net profit on sales by year one.

8.2 Important Assumptions
The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table as annual figures. The key underlying assumptions are:
We assume a slow-growth economy, without major recession. We assume that The Greensward will open in October with it's 12,000 people per day traffic.
We assume that there are no unforseen changes in the expectancy in the popularity of our restaurant.
We assume access to investments and financing which are sufficient to maintain and fulfill our financial plan as shown in the tables.

8.5 Projected Cash Flow
Because we are treating the new company as a start-up, the cash balance for FY2005 is somewhat exaggerated by the instant influx of new capital. Subsequent years however show a healthy growth in cash flow, mainly due to increased sales.
