II. Finance - Financial Statement Review

A.

Committee review of Previous Month's Financial Statements

Jeff Barry led a discussion tracking the Fincom notes document. Highlights include:

- current proceeds from state are based on average enrollment of 206.2 students. We are trying to confirm how the state arrived at that number.  It is anticipated that we will know our final revenue/financial results in the coming months. But current numbers are a good indication of where we stand.
- the June 2019-June 2020 annual statements will show a net profit, which was the objective of the Financial Committee and Board and reflects much work done, in a tumultuous year
- 2021 enrollment projections continues to be strong with 220-228 students expected  
- we reviewed and commented the various items included in the separate notes document.  One item that did not figure in the notes relates to the long-term unemployment negotiation with the state. We have sent multiple inquiries with a view to close this matter but have not received any responses to date.  This matter will be discussed with our auditors
