Treasurer's Report

Nothing spectacular. The cost of renovations are hitting, we spent about $1800 in February, and of course the rent was paid, which wasn't budgeted for.

On a side note, I am recognising the rent as equal monthly payments of $2,013 over the course of the lease, instead of the arbitrary swings that result from the way we negotiated it. This number may change from time to time based on changes in our "additional rent" (covering snow clearing, propery taxes and building insurance), but should be fairly predictable this way. The difference between the cash costs and the regular rent charge shows on the balance sheet as either prepaid rent, or as a lease liability.

Bikeworks remained fairly busy in February, and we're entering the season where business picks up, so hopefully we'll see the benefits of that. Donations also remained strong.

All in, we spent about $4k more than budget in February, somewhat offset by $400 extra in revenues. So far this fiscal year, we're still $5,500 ahead of where our budget expected to be, so despite my instinct to get stressed about spending too much money in the winter, we're actually doing quite well.
