Monthly Financials
All metrics are strong. Budget versus actuals. As of November 30, we have recognized 7MM in revenue against a budget of approximately 17 million. Contingency was adjusted with 28K remaining. 4MM in salary and benefits spent against a budget of approximately 11. OTP budget 8.48. There were a few reclassifications in spending.
