Wholesome A new Wholesome restaurant can be opened in Cape Town. This will however require funds, which Feast does not have available internally. To bridge this, Feast has identified a savings fund into which equal semi-annual payments can be made for 2 years. The saving fund offers an interest rate of 8.9% compounded monthly. After the 2-year period, the payments into the fund will seize, however, the accumulated funds will be kept in the savings fund for a further year and six months period in order to receive further interest. Once this time has lapsed, 3 annual payments of R1 036 400 will be made to Feast from the saving fund at the start of each period.

All funds required by Feasts restaurants are obtained from Feasts general pool of funds
