Working Financial Statements
Financial statement data comes from materials and annual reports from IAAPA, IALEI and candid conversations with existing owner/operators. Some of the reports used in completing our financial statements are;
| US Amusement Industry Consumer Survey |
| Statistical Survey - Games |
| Statistical Survey - Food Service |
| Capital Investment Survey |
| Managing Attractions for More Profit |
| IALEI Industry Reports |
Included in the Template Business Plan is a 'linked' Microsoft Excel Spread-Sheet. The spread-sheet includes;
| Base-line Assumptions |
| Start-up Costs - View Sample 1, Sample 2 |
| Income Statement - Year One |
| Income Statement - Year Two |
| Monthly Cashflow - Year One |
| Cashflow Statements - Years Two through Five |
All (6) pages within the Excel spread-sheets are 'linked'. You simply input costs for each activity, your building lease expense, the amount of staff and hours of operation, advertising and marketing budgets (this information is included in the plan as a percentage of gross sales based on the industry average), modify any of the included industry assumptions as they relate to your specific business goals (such as your proposed admissions fee, costs for each of your activities) and the sheets fill in the rest of your data! Print and include in your completed plan.
This is a great package because it allows you to run a wide variety of "what-if" scenarios... by modifying your startup inputs you can quickly determine your profit and loss based on building size, market size, activity mix, or number of employees, or annual operating expenses!
