Basis of the management presentation
FY1: November 2026-December 2027 (14 months). FY2: January-December 2028. Receipts are assumed in the month of sale.
Founder-provided resources have a management memo value of about $460,000. This forecast assumes no cash purchase or transfer of title and excludes that memo value from assets and equity.
Statutory recognition depends on the executed agreements. Software capitalisation and amortisation follow the stated planning assumptions, with eligibility and available-for-use dates supported by project records.
Additional equipment and software purchases remain $159,000 and must be reconciled against the supplied inventory. Prepared people and internal orders are not separately capitalised.
The $50,000 cash buffer is a reference, not a binding minimum. No additional funding or reserve replenishment is requested. Timing of subscriptions and customer receipts follows the stated schedule.

Revenue basis

Oristella revenue basis (USD)
Planned client schedule
January 2027: two related-company clients (Farafina Resources SA, Lions Head Resources SA); forecast receipts on standard terms.
April 2027: two external clients targeted after on-site equipment testing.
May-December 2027: target one new client a month, reaching twelve clients at December 2027.
November-December 2027: revenue held at the October 2027 level; 2028: +10% at the start of each quarter, constant within the quarter
Revenue by stream, first twelve months (November 2026 - October 2027)USD

Module tariffs: trial geological model $1,000; full model $5,000; standard update $300. Each contract defines scope and module composition.
Source: management service-stream and monthly receipts forecast. The stream total reconciles to monthly receipts; the client schedule is a commercial target, not a quantity-times-tariff calculation.

Cash is retained. The founder contribution of $460,000 is non-cash and is excluded from receipts.
Tax, development capitalisation and payment timing follow the operating model. Profit is separate from cash flow.
The first reporting period contains 14 months; the second contains 12 months. No new franchise or token revenue is assumed.

Inputs

Oristella development project assumptions
AssumptionValueSource
Revenue growth at the start of each quarter in 202810.0%Managementinstructionassumption: monthly revenue is constant within each quarter. January 2028 is 10% above December 2027; the first month of each subsequent quarter rises a further 10%. Operating expenses remain unchanged.
Revenue growth November-December 20270Held at the exit rate of months 10-12
Operating expenses from November 202761,333Held constant at the average of months 10-12 (managementinstructionassumption: costs stayheld flat)
Exit revenue base: month 12 (October 2027)133,400Revenue held at the October 2027 level in November-December 2027, so no month falls below the previous one
Corporate tax rate, United Arab Emirates (Dubai)9.0%Planning rate: 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000; no 0% free-zone rate assumed. Source: UAE Ministry of Finance corporate tax threshold announcement, 31 January 2023.
Annual depreciation and amortisation rate (straight line, 5 years)20.0%Management assumption: 20 % a year from 2027, charged once at year end (31 December); non-cash
Approved cash distributions (USD)0No repayment or distribution is assumed. Cash remains available for operations and development.
Share of development team costs capitalised as software development45.0%Management capitalisation assumption: 45% of development-team costs allocated to qualifying software development, at quarter end. The model amortises from the following year. Eligibility and the available-for-use date require project cost records; the percentage alone does not establish IAS 38 compliance.
Taxable income taxed at 0 % (AED 375,000 at 3.6725 per US dollar)102,110Cabinet Decision on the taxable income threshold
MODEL VARIANT (enter 1 or 2)21 = development expensed in FY1; 2 = development capitalised from the start (selected). Capitalisation and tax eligibility are assessed separately.
Share capitalised in financial year 1 (November 2026 - December 2027)45.0%Variant 1: 0 %; variant 2: same as 2028
Founder cash contribution0No founder cash contribution. Existing resources are available without cash purchase in this forecast.

Founder resources made available (memo value)460,000Existing land, buildings, infrastructure, equipment, software and prior work, made available without a cash purchase in this forecast. Management memo value: about $460,000. No transfer of title or accounting recognition is assumed.
Stress reduction in revenue and customer receipts20.0%Management stress assumption: revenue and matching customer receipts are reduced by 20% in every forecast month.
Stress uplift in cash operating expenditure10.0%All monthly cash operating costs increase by 10%. Extra costs are expensed; capitalised development and fixed asset purchases are unchanged.
First subscription - November 2026300,000Management funding schedule.
Second subscription - January 2027110,000Management funding schedule.
Third subscription - April 202750,000Rounded funding request of $460,000; final tranche increased to $50,000.
Total requested cash financing460,000Same amount in both cases. No additional financing.
Founder resources in this management forecastMemo onlyThe forecast records no acquired founder asset or related depreciation. Statutory recognition depends on the executed ownership, licence and use agreements; rights of use are not automatically off balance sheet.
Dubai company formationAlready paidManagement information. Formation costs have already been paid. No new founder cash contribution or separate incorporation charge is added.
Prepared team and internal ordersOperating readinessPrior salaried development and the prepared team support readiness. People are not booked as property. Internal orders are not added to the contribution value; sales are recognised in the existing operating forecast.
Incremental purchases159,000Existing forecast retains $90,000 equipment and $69,000 software purchases, additional to the provided base. Reconcile inventory before procurement to prevent overlap.
Operating modelOristella operating model (management)Service-stream and monthly operating schedules supplied by management. This is a standalone Oristella project forecast.
Accounting basisManagement project balanceManagement project forecast. Founder-provided resources are shown as a memo item. Statutory treatment follows the actual agreements and applicable accounting standards.
