Canaan Group Financial Analysis

This document provides a financial analysis for Canaan Group's forestry container business over three phases. In Phase 1, Canaan Group would handle 200 containers per week, generating $1 million in annual contribution and $40,000 in annual profit. Phase 2 projects handling 400 containers weekly, contributing $2 million annually and $1.04 million in profit. Phase 3 forecasts 1,200 containers weekly, with $6 million annual contribution and $5.04 million profit. Key assumptions include freight rates declining to $400 per container and overhead remaining flat. Royalty payments and their structure require negotiation with Cache Creek. Overall, the analysis models Canaan Group's business becoming highly profitable while also benefiting CP Rail and Cache Creek.
