<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This is a report on the OFA’s financial position as of June
30. As you all know the OFA’s financial plan is to have a loss for 2020. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">While
this may not be prudent under conventional circumstances, we are going through
a rebuilding period which has already produced some remarkable results which have
been reported on in detail elsewhere. This includes the creation of the
important new FSDP program and the development of new Bylaws and IPR policy.
The former is an important new benefit for members. The FSDP program and new
bylaws and IPR policy will be beneficial for recruiting new members.</span><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This year we’ve suffered a reduction in membership due to
mergers and acquisitions and some companies deciding it’s not in their business
interests to be Promoter members. The budget is based on reduced dues income,
$124,000. We plan for an operating loss of $9,943 but the actual loss is
slightly better at $1,765. There are no significant operating expenses on the
horizon, and there’s some chance the biggest single expense, marketing, might
be reduced, though we don’t yet know by how much.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The results are not as good, and the outlook is also not
good in the area of Other Expense. The budget for the Executive Director was
reduced significantly to $42,188 because of actual expenses in 2019. However,
the expense was $30,284 due to the significant time required for Workshop planning,
the Bylaws project, and other activities. While there may be a slight
improvement, significant progress is doubtful.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our Chair, Doug Ledford, has carefully negotiated scheduled
payments to UNH-IOL to $24,500 for support of the FSDP program this year. Additional payments have been scheduled for 2021. This is an
unplanned expense and the benefits we expect to see won’t materialize until 2021.
This will potentially come in the form of new members and increased membership
dues.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The result of all this is an operating loss of $59,433
against a full-year planned loss of $47,692.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Again, these losses, budgeted and in some cases unexpected are
part of a conscious plan to manage through this period of significant change.
We also have a significant reserve of $172,523 compared to what we agree is
required, $100,000 based on very conservative estimates.</p></div>
