2. 2010 Planned balance

Ineconomical terms, the balance on Dec 31^st 2009 is sufficient for Kidlink to run the server in 2010.

The planned balanceis assuming less members in 2010. Inthe 2010 plan Linode bill is considered payed on a yearly basis (minus 10%) and bank costs set at a « high Â» level.

This plan (figure 2) shows a positive balance at the end of 2010.
