See attached Cashflow forecast year beginning 2000

Notes: 1. Cash sales are from booked tours only. This will be higher with adhoc tours.

2. Cash income is also from advertisers from the hire of open DZ coaches.

4.                    No direct income figures to the community are included. As a comparison amongst 100 registered members at the Midlands Meander the gross income to the community last financial year was R 180 million.

5.                    All surplus at the end of each financial year is to be spent on wealth creation projects to be identified by the following groups: The Nkukwini Development Committee , The Carisbrooke Development Committee, The Nokweja Development Committee, The Webstown Development Committee, The PCNGR and the Ubuhlebezwe Town Council ( Ixopo Municipality) as well as the Department of Agriculture. The project aims to create wealth at the grass roots level where it is most needed.

6.                    Estimates of total income to the greater Ixopo community indicate that some 2 000 people will each derive an annual gross income in excess of R 24,000,000-00. this huge capital injection to the district will resul in a huge transformation not only in the Ixopo district but also the Umzimkulu district.
