Areas of concern Food and Beverage
We were cognizant of costs in this department but were committed to offer a service when customers required it, the operational model of “fresh” was difficult to adhere to when demand is inconsistent for services.
F&B payroll was running at 61% of revenue, overall expense at 121% of revenue.
Pro-shop expenses over double revenue.
Some revenue departments running a deficit but required to introduce and grow programs and revenue.

Pro-shop items now sold through Customer service and space is now leased out. Lease will add $5,400 to surplus compared to $12,000 loss in 2017
Both fitness and CC programs are running at a slight loss, but required to build reliable and consistent programs.

9. Statement of Cashflows
Not to be alarmed as it shows we used up close t $140,000 in cash and have a negative cash flow.
Three key items:
Adjustment to working capital of $75,983 is due to timing of reciept of payment from the muni for the monthly transfer of funds.
$79,666 purchase of fixed assets for the betterment of the center.
Deferred funding, money received for items such as the Field 5 improvement of which money was received a few years ago but is recognized over time.
