Memo To: All Senior Staff From: Kristen Huffman, CEO & President Re: New Strategic Direction Thank you for attending our annual strategic planning session. Given recent changes in the economy and customer needs, a new direction for our company is necessary. After reviewing how other companies restructured themselves in recent years, we will mirror how UPS® conducts business as a partner/consultant with large customers. For our company, however, we will go a step further and become a warehousing/local just-in-time (JIT) delivery source, instead of providing logistics advice to clients, as UPS® does. To accomplish this, we must integrate this new direction into our upcoming strategic plan and financial planning. First, I need all department managers to prepare their budgets. I would also like our accounting department to move ahead on a preliminary set of pro forma statements, even without final budgets, using the following assumptions. They must determine if external funding is needed. I have attached a summary of assumptions about this new direction. New Strategic Direction Page 2 1. Assume inflation of 4% on expenses, not including depreciation and taxes. This is in addition to the new initiative’s costs. New Strategic Initiative Assumptions Huffman may overcome increased competition and economic slowdown by initiating a new strategy; this will turn our company into a one-stop shop and key logistics company. We will provide consulting services, generate revenues, and become a JIT warehouse/delivery source. A local retailer selling products .

Memo To: All Senior Staff From: Kristen Huffman, CEO &
President Re: New Strategic Direction Thank you for attending
our annual strategic planning session. Given recent changes in
the economy and customer needs, a new direction for our
company is necessary. After reviewing how other companies
restructured themselves in recent years, we will mirror how
UPS® conducts business as a partner/consultant with large
customers. For our company, however, we will go a step further
and become a warehousing/local just-in-time (JIT) delivery
source, instead of providing logistics advice to clients, as UPS®
does. To accomplish this, we must integrate this new direction
into our upcoming strategic plan and financial planning. First, I
need all department managers to prepare their budgets. I would
also like our accounting department to move ahead on a
preliminary set of pro forma statements, even without final
budgets, using the following assumptions. They must determine
if external funding is needed. I have attached a summary of
assumptions about this new direction. New Strategic Direction
4% on expenses, not including
depreciation and taxes. This is in addition to the new
initiative’s costs. New Strategic Initiative Assumptions
Huffman may overcome increased competition and economic
slowdown by initiating a new strategy; this will turn our
company into a one-stop shop and key logistics company. We
will provide consulting services, generate revenues, and become
a JIT warehouse/delivery source. A local retailer selling
products from a distant manufacturing plant, for example, may
accept JIT deliveries, instead of 40-foot trailer loads. This
5. would be fulfilled by the local operation. 2. Assume the
following regarding variables versus fixed-nature-of-income-
statement operating expenses for the existing business: a. 80%
of wage benefits is variable and 20% is fixed. b. 100% of fuel
expenses, purchased transportation, and operating supplies is
variable. c. 100% of operating taxes is fixed. d. 20% of
insurance and claims is fixed; the balance is variable. e. Assume
depreciation, even with new expenditures, is fixed as the
retirement of written-off assets, equaling new equipment. 3.
There will be new spending areas reflected on future budgets to
reflect added satellite warehouse costs and space rental and
costs of running the locations. a. In the first year, add $10
million of inflation, space rental, and operating costs at 25% of
revenues from the new initiative. b. In the second year, add $10
million space rental, with inflation at the same variable
percentage of sales. c. In the third year, add $7.5 million of the
variable percentage of sales. 4. In marketing, budget accounts
have been added for new incurred costs. We will continue our
present promotion and launch a new program, with the
assistance of our marketing partner, the ABC Marketing
Agency. They will advise us on the type, frequency, and content
of new messages. Assume 100% of the existing budget is fixed
with respect to volume along with new expenses. We expect
incremental expenses, with $5 million of inflation in the first
three years. 5. Our existing sales force, comprised of four
national account managers, will call on clients such as Wal-
Mart®, Sears®, and Best Buy®. Existing expenses are assumed
to be 100% fixed in relation to revenue. To tap into specialized
markets, our strategy is aimed at adding four industry-specific
managers, each with a salary base of $50,000 and 2%
commission of generated revenues. 6. The human resources
budget will not change substantially aside from added hiring,
recruiting, training, and drug testing fees. Assume 10% of
expenses is fixed; the balance is variable with volume. New
liabilities are variable. Expect an addition of $10 million to
6. operating property, spent in the first year. Our payment to
vendors, suppliers, and taxes will be in thirty-day terms. We
expect all payments to be in sixty-day terms. 8. Assume revenue
growth from our existing business will grow at 8% versus 10%
in past years. Our new strategy, however, adds incremental
consulting revenues of $3.5, $4.5, and $6.5 million in the first,
second, and third years. New warehousing will add revenue of
$10, $30, and $40 million in the first, second, and third years.
All new revenue will be subject to commissions for industry-
specific managers.
