FINANCIAL COMMENTS AND DATA AS OF THE END OF JULY 2024

I would like to thank our owners for reading our various reports. With this report we are reverting to the original way of releasing monthly information, all financial information will be on a standalone report, then we will issue two more types of reports that will be properly identified on our new website.

We are forecasting a loss of $ 14,337.00; time is of the essence, we do not believe that over a period of two and a half months before our fiscal year ends at the end of October, we will be able to reverse this situation. This is mainly due to the building maintenance cost with an overrun of $65,000.00 compared to budget, partially offset by a savings of $ 49,500.00 in the salary group of expenses.

Cash flow was an issue during May and June, and we now can reimburse our borrowing from the Working Capital reserve used to pay the insurance premium.

There have been limited changes in the REVENUE section. Total revenue remained stable at $2,421,065.00 inclusive of a total contribution to the reserve accounts of $305,500.00. In addition, interest revenue will generate an extra $42,000.00. We requested a monetary portion of existing CD and Annuities where it was possible without a penalty and invested in a higher interest producing CD, a strategy we do every year. Interest rates have been coming down quickly. At the beginning of the year, it was possible to obtain a CD with an interest of 5.30%, now it is down to 3.90%.

In the UTILITIES section, we increased the total group of utilities expense by $ 2,000.00 resulting from a further increase of $2,000.00 in cable TV, due to a major breakdown of transmission equipment and repair to the coaxial cable.

The ADMINISTRATIVE expenses forecast came down by $6,400.00 due to payroll components forecast reduction compared to last month.

 We incurred an increase in the MAINTENANCE group of expenses, the forecast going up by $ 17,000.00. This was the result of building maintenance, up by $ 25,000.00 on top of the previous month’s increase in the forecast. We now forecast to be over budget by $65,000.00 in this area.  This rise reflects the reality of increased expenses necessary for upkeep and repairs to our aging buildings and infrastructure. There was plus and minus in a variety maintenance account.

 Let’s hope for the best during the hurricane season, so far so good. Thanks for reading.

First, we would like to thank Monique Dell who after more than 11 years of service to our community decided to retire. We had a small gathering to wish her the best for the future.

Much of the association’s excellent fiscal condition is directly due to Monique’s dedication and skill in handling our various financial transactions. She performed her many responsibilities including cost control and year end audit reports with efficiency and expertise. We hope we will see her from time to time at Waterside.

1. GENERAL COMMENTS
The office hours were modified due to the shortage of one employee and these opening hours are under consideration and they may be maintained in the future. There were a lot of exchanges on the pickle ball request to increase the number of courts over the tennis facilities, no solution has been found so far. Written complaints were received from residents about noise and resulting stress. More verbal ones were also expressed. The current situation of two courts over the tennis courts will remain, until an acceptable solution is found. On Wednesday February 21, 2024, we found a way to resolve the insurance issue, still waiting for confirmation from the Town of Hypoluxo legal counsel….
