We hope that the growth rate of sales for each month of the introduction will be [x] within [x] months

We will buy more efficient raw materials in the market or utilize new equipment to reduce the production process and reduce wastage. This will reduce our consumption ratio by [x%].

Gross profit will remain the same [new product introductions will wait until there is more profitability]. Selling and administrative expenses will go up, but as a percentage of costs will decrease [list some of the largest orders and what they mean] because we will have a higher market return.

R&D which was a larger percentage of sales in the early years will decrease as the percentage changes. After investing in [resellers/R&D/other sales channels] we will have greater value.

The basis on which you organize this data, and the calmness with which you are confronted with it, is very important for investors. Discuss the size of the market, the volume of the market, the timing to capitalize on the market, and the impact of your competitive pressures on these numbers.
