7.3 Key Financial Indicators

The following benchmark chart indicates our key financial indicators for the first three years. We foresee major growth in sales, with only the normal inflation rates affecting our day to day operating expenses. There is a significant increase in operating costs for the Fiscal Years 2001 and 2002, attributed to the start of payroll for the principals.

7.4 Projected Profit and Loss

The financial plan depends on carefully researched operating expenses. Actual cost was used in calculating these expenses.

It is important to note that the Projected Profit and loss does not reflect any cost of sales. These costs are included in our actual operating expenses. The main reason this is so is that many of the services we provide have virtually no direct cost, as they are paid to our company as commissions.
