REMARKABLE INTRODUCES B-PLAN BUSINESS PLANNING SOFTWARE

A new business planning, budgeting, and forecasting PC software to overcome
the three most common barriers to writing an effective business plan.

Northvale, NJ--Remarkable Technologies Inc unveils today its latest
product, B-Plan for Windows. This new PC software package for business
planning, budgeting, and forecasting, makes it easier and more affordable
for small and medium-size businesses to create a business plan.

And it does this by eliminating the three most common barriers to writing a
business plan, according to Jack Lahav, President of Remarkable
Technologies, publisher of B-Plan for Windows.

"A recent survey of entrepreneurs shows that more than 95 percent of small
business have no formal business plan, yet a business plan can give a
small company an edge in finding investors, raising capital, and competing
successfully in today's marketplace," he says.

Overcomes 3 barriers to better business planning

According to Lahav, B-Plan eliminates three major barriers to doing a
business plan:

Lack of computer knowledge. "Forecasting tools like Lotus 1-2-3 require you
to be a fairly sophisticated business computer user," he notes.

B-Plan, by comparison, does not require the user to know how to use
spreadsheets, graphics, or other programs. On-screen, fill-in-the-blank
forms allow for easy data entry and guide the novice user step-by-step in
building a business plan by answering simple questions.

Once the information is entered, B-Plan automatically analyzes the data and
generates profit & loss projections, cash flow projections, financial
ratios. break-even analysis reports, projected balance sheets, and other
key financial highlights. The software even lets the user perform
"what-if" sensitivity analysis -- all without knowing how to use a
spreadsheet.

Lack of business knowledge. Many small business owners know their trade or
field but lack indepth knowledge of business management and finance,
observes Lahav.

"With B-Plan, it doesn't matter if you don't know a 'financial parameter'
from 'opening balance influence,'" states Lahav. "B-Plan explains each
term and even tells you which pieces of information are appropriate to
your type of business."

In addition, B-Plan has a template that provides an on-screen outline --
with headings, tables, and instructions for filling in text -- that allows
even business novices to write an effective business plan quickly and
easily.

B-Plan automatically converts key reports and ratios to pie charts, bar
charts, and other appropriate graphics at the click of the mouse, and the
B-Plan template shows exactly where to incorporate each B-Plan report and
graph into the plan.

Also, because the business plan exists as an electronic document under
Windows, it is easy to access, review, update, and revise your B-Plan
business plan at any time. "In this way, your B-plan business plan becomes
a living, working document, not a written report that sits on a shelf
gathering dust," says Gerald Damon, technical support manager.

Lack of time and money. Another reason many small business owners don't
write a business plan is lack of the resources to do so -- specifically
time, money, and expertise.

According to Damon, B-Plan overcomes these obstacles. "By automating the
process of writing a business plan, B-Plan enable the non expert to create
a business plan in a small fraction of the time it would take to do
without the software," he says.

In addition, Remarkable Technologies advertises that the purchase of B-Plan
is one of the most cost-effective investments any small business can make.
"To hire an outside consultant to create your business plan costs between
$2,500 and $10,000," observes Lahav. "B-Plan costs only $99.95 and can be
used to create your business plan not only this year but for every other
year you're in business ... paying for itself many times over in
consulting fees and staff resources saved."

running Windows 3.1 or higher. Also required are a hard disk drive with 4
