<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I have a couple of questions/.comments about the BVW financail statement. I am assuming that the list of capital assets represents the depreciated value of those assets. I'm not sure that the signs still have much value because the sponsors on them are no longer valid and they need to be replaced this year. So I'm not sure signage should be considered as a capital asset because their value may typically be gone after a year, unless we have the same sponsors each year. In any case they should probably be written off this year from what I understand, unless Amanda feels she can still use them somehow, maybe by putting new stickers on the signs to cover the old sponsors' logos.<br>
<br></div>How did you arrive at the "working funds" amount?

(I this amount is $250.) I don't know what expenses might also be associated with that contract.<br>

I have produced draft (pretty close to final) Year-End reports for
Bike Valet as of 2014-03-31. This includes depreciation and other
expenses to the end of the month.<br>
I have also eliminated the "BV Start-up advance" asset by
posting a "Founders honorarium" (nominally for David) for later this
month. I charged it to Bike Winnipeg (under Contractors) based on
the idea that it is from Bike Winnipeg for his help in setting up
Bike Valet. Thus it does not appear as an expense for BV. This may
or may not strike everyone as reasonable.<br>
The total depreciation for 2014-03-31 is $1737.09. If there are
no further capital costs in the next year the expected depreciation
will be $1389.68.
Any budgeted capital expenses should include a depreciation
allowance of 20% for the year in which they are incurred.<br>
<br>
Income/Expense reports are attached. They are also on the
website along with all previous years for BV. You'll find them on
the "About > Financial Reports" page (quite a ways down) or use <a href="http://bikewinnipeg.ca/about-us/financial-reports/#YE-all-BV" target="_blank">this
link</a>. (Yes, this is kind of an obscure place to put them). <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
