the games on a walk-in basis in what would be considered a pick- up game made up of numbers of small groups of people or individuals who desire to play the game. The game software includes a reservation system so that groups can schedule specific times and people ca~ buy tickets in advance. This allows for better scheduling in peak times and encouragement of activity in non peak times. :rIIfUCXAL From a financial standpoint, business can be quite lucrative. While there are accessory sales of wearables and beverages, our primary focus is on the entertainment sales. with the basic sale being entertainment, once the cost of staff, rent and insurance is paid for and breakeven is achieved, virtually all additional revenues fall directly onto the bottom line. We estimate that it requires about 1500 plays per week to break even at an average cost of $6.50 per game play including tax. The sites that we have visited in the united states have consistently been doing 2500 to 3000 games per week. Laserport's laser tag game is budgeted to produce $600,000 to $700,000 (78-85% of total) in income per year. Additional revenue will be provided by food and beverage servi~e, arcade games and merchandise sales. The food and beverage format has not been fully worked for this location out but at a minimum, soft drinks and snack foods will be offered and potentially, pizza or some similar food may be served, perhaps on a contracted basis from other facilities. This portion of the operation is budgeted to produce $25,000 to $100,000 (4-8% of total) in sales per year depending on the format eventually chose~. Arcade games are an integral part of the game as they provide an activity while participants wait for the game to be played as well as a revenue opportunity for the facility. It would appear from preliminary plans that the site would support 15 - 20 games. This portion of the facility is budgeted to produce income of $50,000 to $75,000 (7-8% of total) per year. Merchandise sales would be of goods with the Laserport logo on them such as t-shirts and caps. Sales of merchandise are budgeted at $25,000 to $50,000 (4-6% of total) per year. The cost of opening a facility is in the neighborhood of $400,000 for equipment, game improvements and front entry displays. This amount has been raised in equity and therefore no debt will be used to open the center.
