The computer is still not integrated within 75% of town businesses. The computer will
not be superseded within the next five years, and even then it is hard to see a dramatic
change in hardware that will not be backward compatible.

available. SME Office space is increasing by 10% per annum. There are currently
10000 SME's in each district in the South Bengal Expected Client Profile.

will take place.
Short - Medium Term Trading Page 7
Objective Short-term
COMPUTERS
An average of 5 computer sales per week, and 2 service contracts. The trainee
assembler to be competent at assembly within 6 months, and to service a computer on
site within 9 months.
TRAINING
Mr. Oashim training for average of 3 days per week within 3 months. New
training staff to be working an average of 4 days per week by 9 months.
At the 12 month plus period, a number of Oashim and soeb tried and
tested ex-colleagues and friends will be approached to join the company
with equity available.
In a real emergency, say, We became ill, it is anticipated that the new staff
could continue with 'basic' computer servicing or training - the requirement
of a mature Office Manager is a strategic and important position.
Financials Page 8
As you can see from the other the business is expecting to make a
average net profit of in the first year. The figures include the salary of the
full complement of staff as outlined on page 6 (c) above. The second year
shows a net profit of £275,000: if this does happen they will purchase their
own premises for 250000. The total compliment of staff at the end of 2010
is 25.
The projected figures show the anticipated reinvestment of all profits for
the first two years: this trend will continue. Stock at the end of the second
year is high but the discounts on bulk purchase are a profitable option in
the computer industry, if technology allows.
In the first year the cash flow will remain positive unless an opportunity to
buy bulk computer parts presents it's self. Likewise the entire second year
is planned to be in the black and consideration will be given at that time as
to the purchase of assets.
