  2. 2018 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • 7th Tradition of Self-Support – $8.4 million, almost equal to 2017 record • Cost of Services Provided to Fellowship – $11.4 million, up 11.8% from 2017 • Shortfall between 7th Tradition of Self-Support and Cost of Services Provided to the Fellowship – $3.0 million • AAWS publishing profits – $3.4 million, down 4%, used to cover shortfall between 7th Tradition and Cost of Services, resulting in net GSO profit – $0.4 million • Grapevine subscription levels declined in 2018. GV would have essentially broken even, if not for severance payments • General Fund support of La Viña service activity – $148 thousand • Reserve Fund – $15.9 million, resulting in ratio of 9.7 months

  5. NEW AUDITORS IN 2018 • Auditors changed to Mark Paneth • With this change, we also changed to “Limited Review” procedures for our quarterly results, versus prior “Compilation” procedures • “Limited Review” provides the Boards and Fellowship with a higher level of assurance that the quarterly results are accurate • Limited Review is not an audit, so the level of assurance is less than audit, but more than a compilation • Audited 2018 financial statements reflect new accounting presentation standards changing our income and functional expense statements, creating significant differences between the two.
