In compiling these estimates, we rely on the experience of our affiliate in the construction and development of Restaurants. These amounts are the minimum recommended levels to cover your operating expenses for 3 months. Additional working capital may be required if sales are low or fixed costs are high. The disclosure laws require us to include this estimate of all costs and expenses to operate your franchise during the "initial phase" of your business, which is defined as 3 months or a longer period if "reasonable for the industry." We are not aware of any established longer "reasonable period," so our disclosures cover a 3 month period.
