II. Finance

A.

Monthly Financials

CSBM reviewed the financials.

 

Total current liabilities are 2.2 million.  A working capital ratio of 2.9 is left.

 

Total assets are at 10.7 million, total liabilities of 10.2.  Net assets are at 8.5 million.

 

The team worked on the amended budget; this is capturing all of the updates.  In next month's report, everything will be based on the new numbers.

 

Depreciation is projected to be 400K leaving a net surplus of non-cash of 439.

 

At the bottom is a comparison, there are some updates. 

 

State revenue - per pupil is based on 700.  The amended budget will still include 696 students.  The increase in federal revenue has to do with the spend in FY22 and the money received from IDEA funding.  The budget did not consider any billing for Yonkers students; that will add into the revenue.

 

The projected expense for the year is expected to be 15.7 million; after depreciation there is expected to be a 39K surplus.

 

III. Investment Accounts

There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 6:00 PM.
