  3. St James’ 2013 Financial Update • Section 1 – Balance Sheet • Section 2 – Review of Endowments • Section 3 – 2013 Results of Operations • Section 4 – 2014 Budget Discussion

  4. Some Important Points before we begin the Financial Review • What a Difference a Year Makes! • Our Operating Shortfall declined 60% to ($14,000) from ($35,000) • Many people came through and made extra donations beyond their pledges!! Thank you for your praises to God!! • Endowment balance is up 31% to $616,000 • We decreased the amount withdrawn from the endowments by 46% • Withdraws were only $19,000 for capital projects (as opposed to support operating shortfalls) • Stock market helped, but so did Bequests!! • The 2014 Budget is basically balanced on an operating basis!! • It’s based on realistic assessments of likely revenue and expenses • No more “faith based or hoped for” income!! • Vestry may elect to make withdraws from the endowment in 2014, but they will be for specific projects and improvements not to balance the budget
