II. Finance

A.

Monthly Financials

Cash on hand is 1.92 million.  Total current assets 5.9.  Total liabilities 1.4.  Working ratio of 4.15. 

 

Debt ratio of 0.14.  Total net assets are 8.8.

 

Total revenue is expected to be 16 million.  Total expenses are expected to be 16 million.  A deficit of approximately 8,000 is expected.  Depreciation is expected to be 399K.

 

Details were further reviewed.  Total revenue did decrease due to a slightly lower scholar enrollment.  There is a variance of just over 200K.  

 

There continues to be a savings in payroll based on prior dates and positions that still may be open.  There is an over budget in professional fees - this is due to areas such as sports program costs, etc.

 

The contingency line has been removed as per the March meeting. 

 

School culture is over budget by 43K.  This has to do with items such as school events, graduation events, end of year events, etc.

 

The group reviewed the anticipated deficit.  Robb shared that we do not want to end the year at a deficit.  The school will continue to monitor this and ensure appropriate oversight takes place for the remainder of the FY22 school year.
