NOTES:

The tax revenue is presented only through 4/1/03; the second-quarter report should contain a full accounting of the amounts received.

These totals do not include any reimbursement for Eagle expenses, as the Treasury had not received a statement from the editor. We expect such a statement to be forthcoming and plan to cover these expenses.

Nova Roma came close to breaking even this month despite the annual transfer of funds to our long-term goals. This argues well for our financial health.
