<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The issue is more to do with the ratio of income to expenditure in the 22/23 scheme financial year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The scheme raised $304k for the financial year yet spent $406k. That spend did not contain any particularly anomalous expenditure. I drafted the projected budget based on estimates per previous expenditure
and potential current costs, which equated to an Admin fund spend of approximately $378k, which I would suggest would be close to the genuine running cost of the Scheme at present. Due to the gap in income and expenditure for the previous fin yr, the deficit
remains and must be erased.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The final (4<sup>th</sup>) quarterly instalment for the 22/23 fin yr instalment was due 1 Dec 22 for the period to 28 Feb 23. The first instalment for the new fin yr (23/24) is due 1 March, hence
the injection of funds by end March per your attached report. These funds are attributed to the current financial year, not the last.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I hope that helps to explain, however if you’d like to discuss further, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As you will see, the scheme ran a large Administration Fund deficit last year financial of over $96K.

<p class="MsoNormal">The proposed Administration fund income had been raised from $304,000.00 to $378,000.00 ($152k already levied) in order to arrest the currently deficient budgeted income and to cease further deficit at the conclusion of this financial year.
Also, in order to erase the deficit from the previous year, a one-off special levy of $97,000.00 has been proposed as per the guidelines within the Act.<o:p></o:p></p>
