      <Paragraph>This template is a graphical template to simulate the cash flow
		for an estimate. The cost data comprises of total cost amount and the date of
		incurring cost. The sales information comprises of net sales amount and the
		date of expected sales. This template provides the additional profit or loss
		figures, which can be simulated and viewed graphically. With the help of the
		graphical view and the simulation, you can arrive at the optimum sales/payment
		schedule. The net sales amount and the total cost amount cumulative appear in
		terms of the reference currency of the current company.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Total Cost Amount = Landed Cost Amount + Escalation Amount +
		Contingency Amount</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>To perform the simulation, you can click the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Simulation</GUIRef> icon ( <HTML:IMG xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" height="23" width="25"
                   SRC="images/nt_ico_us000310_1.png"
                   alt="[...]"/>) to trigger two questions: the minimum number of days
		for interest calculation and the interest percentage. With every click of the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Simulation</GUIRef> icon, you can repeat the same process, enter a
		different interest percentage, and the minimum number of days for which the
		interest must be calculated.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph> 
         <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Chart 1</GUIRef> shows the cumulative net sales amount,
		cumulative total cost amount, and the difference between the two cumulative
		amounts plotted against the time periods. The time periods are generated based
		on the value you enter for the minimum number of days for which the interest
		percentage is to be calculated. In addition, a trend line is drawn which is a
		polynomial of order six.</Paragraph>
