FINANCIAL UPDATE
An update from your friendly neighbourhood Finance Committee:
May financials have been finalized as follows:
Offerings:
1. Good News – May offerings exceeded our May budget by $4,100. Not so Good News: We are still $12,600 behind our offerings YTD budget. Rental Income is ~$6,800 behind our YTD budget. Some of this is timing, but also impacted with less rentals than expected.
Expenses:
1. Other Good News – Operating Expenses continue to be managed well, with YTD expenses being ~$18,000 under budget.
Summary:
Thanks to your financial support and our good expense management, the YTD deficit has been reduced to ($23,300) compared to a budgeted deficit of ($39,700). However, we still have a ways to go to balance the annual budget. Fortunately, we do have the financial strength to continue to invest in operating and strategic initiatives.
Thanks for your support and we encourage everyone to donate on a regular basis to offset our monthly expenses. We want to minimize the need to liquidate income generating investments to cover expenses.
If you have any questions on the above, please reach out to Lindsay Duffield or Scott Wetmore. Thanks for your ongoing time, talent and financial support.
