Liabilities and Net Assets 3-4. Revenues 5-6. Expenses 7. Ratio Analysis and Closing Remarks SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT CHANGES Decrease in cash of $163,000 is due to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements close to year end as well as a shift out of cash and into investments. Investments increased by $494,000 due to better market returns and fewer unrestricted funds being transferred over to cash. Of the $245,000 increase in receivables, $200,000 pertained to a contribution to the Dorothy Schwartz Opportunity Fund from the River Rock Foundation. Decrease in property and equipment of around $14,000 is caused by another year’s worth of depreciation expense. Prepaid expenses and deposits remained flat with the prior year.
