III. Finance

A.

Monthly Financials

There is not much to report as it is the beginning

Cash on hand is 2.3 million.  1.89 months cash on hand.

5.673 current assets, 3.3 million for current liability.  Working capital ratio is 1.76.

Total assets 10 million plus.  Total liability of 3.7.  Current liability and total are now the same due to not having the PPP loan.  The debt ratio is 0.36.

Total net assets are 6.6 million. 

Annual projections are based on the annual budget. 

Annual revenue is estimated at 15 million.  Total expenses just under with a net surplus of 1,752.  This amount is only slightly higher due to not updating income interest that the bank accounts make.  This shows what the bank has made so far.

There is no variance right now.

Unaudited is FY21.  We are close the releasing the audit package to the auditors.  Total revenue was just over 14 million and total expense over 13 million; there is an estimated net surplus of 862K.  With removing depreciation this would be 1.1 million.  This shows the variance between the projected year and the variances due to the forgiveness.

On the second page of the financial report there are no variances.
