Show and Tell

New Business

March 31 Budget Report

Point of Contact: Terry W

Bank Balances 7/31/13 3/8/14 3/31/14
Emergency Fund $5,009 $5,010 $5,010
General Fund $10,441 $16,781 $17,333
Laser Fund $1,529
Vinyl Fund $0

Exec Summary: All accounting is current. The transition is over. Financial Fitness Grade : B+

April and May should be normal months and give us some normal data to analyze. I expect the bank balance to dip over the next two months as pent up spending hits the books. Utilities/BNektar adjustments should hit in April books.

March 31.2014 Report Spreadsheet (pdf) and a full report are in i3 Data Vault, Admin/Budget folder.


Three cheers for Budget Drone! (applause)
