Zenovar promotes strategic plans in its areas of expertise. The combination of expertise and intensive teams that are hand-picked for each project, offers a broad perspective that takes the smallest details into account. Our strategic projects are implemented through joint steering committees with our clients, and our processes involve all relevant stakeholders. The main components of the plans are: • Analyzing the current situation • Defining vision and goals • Presenting alternatives • Cost-benefit analysis • Risk analysis • Assessment of compatibility with company goals • Selecting the preferred and most applicable alternative • Plan of action, including budget, responsible entities, scheduling and milestones

Business plans are drafted for projects before the implementation decision is reached. The most important components of these plans include market evaluation and assessment of demand for quantity and cost for each specific project. The plans include income analysis, expenses and investments, a projected profit and loss statement, and cash flow report. The findings are presented using the following parameters: • Net present value • Required investment capital • Payout period • Internal rate of return • Assessment of vulnerability to key parameters A separate chapter is devoted to risk analysis, which is a significant decision-making tool.

An important component of every business or strategic plan is a survey of the market and business environment. Zenovar conducts market research and uses this research as a decision-making tool. Market analysis includes: • Professional literature review • Analysis of clients or potential public • Involving the public • Quantitative and economic information analysis • Interviewing experts The results are presented by performing a complete analysis of the value chain, from the raw material until the end consumer.
