Out of Your Mind...and Into the Marketplace releases their latest version of Automate Your Business Plan.

Tustin, CA - July 25, 2003 - Out of Your Mind...and Into the Marketplace, publisher of business books and business planning software, makes Automate Your Business Plan 11.0 one of a kind.

For the past 10 years, lenders, educators, owners, consultants, government agencies, and various publications have praised the Comprehensive Planning Process in Automate Your Business Plan. In the February 2003 edition of Black Enterprise magazine, four of the most popular business plan software applications were tested and Automate Your Business Plan Version 10.0 received their Editor's Choice award.

Announcing the release of Automate Your Business Plan 11.0, an even better product with several new features designed to make the business planning process easier. Included free with the software is our book Anatomy of a Business Plan (Ben Franklin Award winner for Best Business Book of the Year), now in it's 17th year and 5th edition.

The new features of Automate Your Business Plan 11.0 are as follows:

Integrated (Linked) Spreadsheet Workbook
In the past, the financial spreadsheets have all been separate files that had to be individually customized by the user. Automate Your Business Plan 11.0 allows users to create a linked set of financial spreadsheets that is completely customized to their own chart of accounts. The Chart of Accounts Wizard takes users through a setup process with the end result being the development of a workbook of linked spreadsheets that are completely customized to their business. Numbers input in one spreadsheet will automatically be input in all related spreadsheets and when users update information, it will also be updated throughout the workbook.

Financial Statement Analysis is Auto-Generated
The financial statement workbook contains four separate quarterly budget analysis spreadsheets (one for each quarter). All of the information will be auto- generated from the cash flow and profit & loss statements, making it easy to perform a quarterly review of the company's profitability. Critical ratios are also auto-generated in the ratio table making it easy to measure a users business against industry standards.

New Business or Existing Business Option
Upon entering the software, the user will now be able to select the type of plan to be written, one for a new business or one for an existing business. After making their selection, the user will automatically be placed in the right environment for their type of business and have the appropriate spreadsheets for their financial plan.

Online Access to Market/Financial Research
A special Web Page file has been compiled into Automate Your Business Plan 11.0 that gives the user online access to extensive market and financial information. This information will aid in the researching and writing of the marketing plan and in the qualitative interpretation of the research into the financial planning portion.

Charts and Graphs Included
Automate Your Business Plan 11.0 has a charting and graphing component that automatically generates six charts and graphs reflecting the user's financial information.
