Medical Supply (REMS) - trade name/DBA. The plan was written to show the profitability and the growth
potential of the company over the course of three years. The owners of the company have invested a solid

REMS is seeking funding in the amount of $150,000.00 to mass-produce 700 Surround Shower Chairs.
REMS will mass-produce 700 chairs at a cost of $84,000.00. The remaining funds will be used as working
capital to launch a massive advertising campaign to brand our products, and pay legal fees. REMS will sell
500 chairs wholesale ($250.00 per chair) totaling $125,000.00 and 200 at retail ($450.00 per chair) totaling
$90,000.00 with gross sales of $215,000.00 and net profit of $131,000.00. Our monthly break-even point is
137 units per month. REMS’s anticipated direct sales will produce these numbers and more. Distributors
have already been identified that will ultimately exceed REMS’s target break-even point for the first twelve to
twenty–four months. Suarez Corporation has requested 100 chairs as soon as possible and a range of 1,000
- 5,000 units per rollout/order. REMS will exceed the break-even point with the 1,000-unit order from Suarez
Corporation. The Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President will not receive income for the first nine
months of 2009 and will reinvest all revenues. A portion of the revenue from the sale of the initial order will be
used to order our next 1,000 chairs.
REMS is aware of the importance of Public Relations and Advertising we realize that our advertising
campaign must include television, magazines, tradeshows, newspapers, and weekly mail outs. A portion of
our Advertising will be accomplish without a cost due to Allison Starling’s request to interview us at Walter
Reed and Veterans Hospital when we donate shower chairs to military personnel returning home from Iraq.
Allison Starling from channel 7 WJHL featured the Surround Shower Chair on her Working Woman segment
in May 27, 2007. Tennille Robinson editor for Black Enterprise Magazine also wants to feature REMS as a

billion the previous year.
Medical devices marketed to consumers for their personal/in-home use was a growing category during the
mid-2000's. According to a 2004 investment report from the Citigroup Smith Barney, the home medical
equipment (HME) industry was valued at approximately $13 billion in 2006. Some industries anticipated
annual industry growth of six, to eight percent through 2010. Historically, a sizeable share of home medical
equipment has been provided to consumers via home healthcare agencies that also provide related
healthcare services such as, skilled nursing care, respiratory therapy, and physical therapy, and intravenous
infusion services.

walkers, crutches, canes, beds, bedpans, special toilet seats, and shower chairs, etc.
Financial Projections
The objective of the company is to successfully bring the chair to market and capture a significant market
share. Projected sales for the first 12-months is $408,500.00 and these are conservative figures. Sales over

success.
Major distributors have indicated their usual order minimums. Initial test orders are usually 100 units.
Depending on market acceptance, orders subsequently range from 1,000 to 5,000 units. Our forecasted sales
are well below this mark, in order to remain conservative.
The company forecasts profitability by the end of 2011. Adequate budgeting has been assigned for marketing
and other sales efforts necessary to push the product aggressively. Response from our target audience has
been overwhelmingly positive. REMS has participated in multiple tradeshows and appeared on TV programs
on more than one occasion.

Advertising Strategies:
Advertising will focus on awareness of REMS brand, and marketing (internet/online) services as a better,
and cost effective way for purchasing the Surround Shower Chair. Advertising will direct interested
prospects to RMES website, and to authorized resellers, and their websites. Advertising mediums will
include the following channels:
● Magazines
● Television
● Radio
● Web Advertising/New Media
b. Wholesale
Sales people: Sales people will be utilized to spur purchases of our products in wholesale quantities.
Commissions: Commissions will be 18% of wholesale quantities sold.
d. Web Site/internet
Revolutionary Equipment Medical & Supply will have a website that includes information about the
company, products, mission statement, prices, sales, return policies, dispute process, warranties and
order forms etc. Developing a web site with flash capabilities that allows the customers to view the
product and its features will encourage web site purchases. Discounts and free samples will be offered to
individuals purchasing from the web site.
6.4.1.Sales Forecast
Equipment & Medical Supplies:
Sales of medical supplies are value based. The unit sales price represents total value sold. This
approach is used because prices of medical supplies vary widely and are difficult to track per unit
sales. Cost of Sales is estimated at 39% of total sales value.
Retail Sales:
Based on the total market size, and sales and marketing strategy, we have conservatively
estimated initial sales at 700 units with a monthly break-even of 137 units totaling $56,762.00.
The growth rate expected which has also been conservatively stated is 10% from month to
month. There is a substantial demand for our product locally and nationally. Our web-based
presence allows us to reach our target market. REMS will hold the minimum of inventory on hand
1,000 units. These units will be re-ordered when inventory is below 1,000 units or as needed.
Wholesale:
The management team of REMS has attended numerous tradeshows and established contacts
with retailers and distributors who have expressed solid interest in purchasing wholesale amounts
Page 22
Revolutionary Inventions, Inc
of the Shower Chair. As an example, Suarez Corporation Industries, one interested distributor, as
well as, Anderson Medical and Invacare Supply Group have stated that their general test orders,
is typically 100 units. Suarez Corporation quoted a range of 1,000 - 5,000 units per rollout (see
attachments). This underlying assumption makes it difficult to be conservative in our forecast
because of the positive feedback we receive after displaying and presenting the product to
distributors. Thus we have applied a 50% growth rate to our wholesale forecast, even though it
does not reflect the sudden huge demand we expect from the many distributors we will be
targeting. An aggressive sales team will also drive increased quantities demanded.

8. Financial Plan
Our Start-up requirements for cash, inventory, expenses and assets will see us through the first year, as
we hire our contracted sales representatives and secure increasing market share. Even with our
conservative estimates, based on market research and the industry knowledge of the founders, we will
far surpass the break-even point from the first month of sales. We will repay the initial $150,000.00 loan
with interest (TBD). We do not expect future rounds of investment or loans, since the business will be
self-sustaining by the end of year one. By the end of the third year, REMS will have a net worth over
$1,714,340.00.
All expenses indicated below reflect sums spent by the company over a 16-month pre-production
period.
The principal owner of REMS invested $312,441.00 of equity capital into the business to pay for legal
& operational expenses, capital equipment, prototypes and the Surround Shower Chair patent. The
patent is reflected as a long-term asset on the balance sheet.
Total additional funding of $150,000.00 to mass-produce 700 Surround Shower Chairs. REMS will mass-
produce 700 chairs at a cost of $84,000.00. The remaining funds will be used as working capital to
launch a massive advertising campaign to brand our products, and pay legal fees. REMS will sell 500
chairs wholesale ($250.00 per chair) totaling $125,000.00 and 200 at retail ($450.00 per chair) totaling
$90,000.00 with gross sales of $215,000.00 and net profit of $131,000.00.

based on conservative forecasts. See sales forecast assumptions.

Gross margin is estimated to be roughly 50 - 60% monthly. There is a 5% marketing and promotion
budget that will allow necessary exposure for the product.

$1,160,262 million in profit reflects the performance of a mature company. Over all, gross margins of
67.34% are excellent.

We began with $312,441 in cash from the owner. This provided our start-up capital. A loan of
$150,000.00 expected in April 2009. Thus, our cash flow will be sufficient in year one even if we can't
conclude a product licensing agreement. If sales and profits hit targets then further investment needs
will be limited to higher value options to rollout a worldwide distribution.
