Section 1: Summary and Highlights

Financially speaking, 1999 was a very good year for Randonneurs USA. We contributed over $15,000 towards our retained income and now have almost $23,000 in the bank. We also have prepaid souvenir inventory worth over $5,000 at member purchases prices. We have no major outstanding debts and RUSA is on firm financial footing entering the new year.

I must note the outstanding effort that our President has put in over the past year in several major areas affecting our financial status: processing of PBP registrations, management of the PBP video sales process, production and distribution of souvenirs. These areas have required an enormous amount of effort and between these alone, RUSA has a solid financial base for the years to come. Thank you Jennifer!

Section 3: Notes

Note 1: Activities Income and Expense
The original budget anticipated a "wash" between activities income and associated expenses. There is a corresponding Income category for each Expense category. Also note that true net income from activities is affected by two other factors: it is reduced by most of the amount shown in Administrative Postage and Shipping, as most of this expense went to shipping souvenirs, videos, and medals; and it is increased by the items remaining in inventory (see below).

Note 2: Bank Fees
Bank fees were higher than expected due to the large number of checks which had to clear in the months leading up to PBP. The RUSA account had a 60 item­per­month limit, with a charge for each item over 60. The account now has a 200 item­per­month limit, which should serve us well for the next several years.

Note 3: Cummulative Retained Income
The cummulative retained income of $22,985.41 corresponds to our end of year bank balance. Since we have additional assets in inventory, the true number is somewhat higher than the bank balance.

Note 4: Souvenirs and Inventory
Souvenir sales have been quite successful. RUSA netted about $2,000.00 (Sales, less purchases and postage) plus remaining inventory. RUSA has inventory is valued at over $5,000 retail:
