Design is to be complete by August 2005. Construction is expected to begin September 2005 and to be completed in phases during 2005 and 2006. Financial Analvsis Table 1 shows a summary of the funding sources for the project. The total estimated cost of the project is $607,200. The construction will be partially funded by NRCS at 75% after the Project is completed.

The loan will be reduced to $227,700 after the Project is complete and the Company receives funds for 75 percent of the construction costs ($379,500) from NRCS. Table 1.
