Looking at the P&L we can see sales not including Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) were $70,935, significantly higher over the prior period’s sales of $64,390. COGS was slightly higher than the prior period at $17,552 due to increased sales which left WSO with a Gross Profit of $53, 383 before deducting operating expenses.

Overall Distribution Center expenses were $49,065. This left us with a net surplus for the publishing side of the organization of $4,318 for the period.

The Fellowship Services side of the ledger shows Total Income of $11,790 with $7,880 of that coming from 7th Tradition Contributions from members, groups, and intergroups. The remaining balance came from audio and e-book sales. No royalties were received this month for international literature printed of the U.S.

Expenses for the month were lower than last month at $11,094.

This left WSO fellowship side of the organization with a net gain for the month of $696 which when combined with the publishing income gives WSO a net surplus of $5,014 to add to the prudent reserve.
