  • Two large accounts payable amounts (~$9,600) are from two orders last year that out parts supplier forgot to invoice for. These will appear on May financials, and were expected
  • Bike sales are low due to projected due to inability to build bikes due to reduced bike builder hours; we are on target for YTD, but March and April were below target
    • two new bike builders are about to join the team, this should increase builds and thus sales; other factors are the quality of donations, due to continued increase in market demand;
