Approved by those present.

ANNUAL REPORT

Pete presented the annual report written on the wiki.

ACCOUNTS

• Turnover of £17,285.
• We have £8,240 in the bank.
• Julian and Dom have been preparing the accounts for auditing.
• We are now ready to appoint an auditor.
• Our rent has recently doubled following the new office next door to the old one.
• We plan to get revenue in through the operation of a Linux helpdesk.
• Cooperatunity are a possibility for verifying our accounts, and will do so for £250+VAT. This would be cheaper than a full audit, and would fall under the heading of a lay audit. All agreed to take this route.
• We have agreed to submit the accounts as they are, aside from the few typographical errors.
• We shall apply to change the year end to the 31st March.
