Balance Sheet

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE AUGUST 2020 BALANCE SHEET

In reviewing the Balance Sheet we can see ACA WSO ended the month with $756,792 in Total Assets. This is an increase of $75,080 from the previous month of $681,712.

Account 1000 which is our Total Cash and Cash Equivalents increased by $50,112. Our inventory assets also increased by $34,616.

WSO’s Total Liabilities and Equity was $756,792 at the end of the period. This still leaves us with a Year-To-Date net income of $106,670. This is primarily due to the cancellation of the ABC AWC which WSO has subsidized much of the expenses in the past to keep costs down for members and the payoff of about $80,000 in back sales taxes which removed that accrued liability from the balance sheet.

Looking at the P&L we can see Total Income for the month was $106,668 which was a little bit down from $113,209 the month before. This was a decrease of $6,542 in income for the month, which is still about a 4% increase over our budgeted monthly target income amount of $102,420. Please remind your fellow travelers we depend on contributions to fund the rapidly expanding fellowship services side of the fellowship. It is part of spiritual responsibility to to ACA.

The combined Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) was $61,009 which was slightly less than the prior month’s COGS due to an overall decrease in sales. This left WSO a Gross Profit of $45,658 before expenses.

Overall WSO Expenses were down from $30,065 to $20,985 this month. These expenses include payroll, overhead, and operating expenses and we had less staff working this past month due to two leaves of absence. After deducting the expenses from the Gross Profit WSO was left with a net income of $20,985 for the month.

P&L Actual to Budget

This report that shows us how we are performing monthly compared to the approved budget. We are slightly below budget for total income for the month in by $4,816 due mainly to lower than forecast literature sales out of our warehouse in Signal Hill. This was partially offset by better than budgeted sales in Amazon and improved 7th Tradition contribution for the month.

Our expenses were also lower than budgeted by $13,724 due in part to lower payroll due to staff leave of absences and a significant gain of $5,637 in Foreign Exchange fees from transferring international funds from Paypal at a time that was more favorable to the US dollar than when they were originally received. Overall for the month we out performed the budget by $10,560.
