McKenzie Roller Rink

Financial Plan

The financial plan contains these essential factors:

  1. A growth rate of 5% for the year 2004.
  2. Do not depend on credit lines to support cash flow.
  3. An average sales per business day (305 days per year) in excess of $1,000.

8.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on Important Assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table. The key underlying assumptions are:

  • We assume a slow-growth economy, without major recession.
  • We assume there will not be any direct competitors for at least several years.
  • We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan as shown in the tables.

Long-term Interest Rate 15.00% 15.00% 15.00%

Average Percent Variable Cost 11%
Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost $31,332

8.3 Projected Profit and Loss

The most important assumption in the Projected Profit and Loss statement is a steady growth into 2006. The increase in gross margin is based on an agressive marketing approach, and it is critical.

Month-by-month assumptions for profit and loss are included in the appendix.

8.4 Projected Cash Flow

The following table and chart illustrate McKenzie Roller Rink’s cash flow situation. Cash Flow will be negative for year one as we start up the business and slowly create awareness about our facility. We have planned for this with enough extra cash to keep the cash balance positive.

8.6 Business Ratios

Business Ratios for the years of this plan are shown below. Industry profile ratios based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 7999, Roller Rinks are shown for comparison.

The following will enable us to keep on track. If we fail in any of these areas, we will need to re-evaluate our business model:

  1. Gross margins at or above 88%.
  2. Do not depend on credit line to meet cash requirements.
  3. Month-to-month annual comparisons indicate an increase of 5% or greater.
