<font face="times new roman" size="3"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">Several of our staff and I use a spreadsheet to track purchases. My book keeper tracks the actual funds spent.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: times new roman; font-size: 12pt; word-wrap: break-word;">We do not bother encumbering funds. We never spend our legal budget. Our income is no where close to what we could spend, so we aim low over all. I do keep our material budget pretty accurate with a cushion, but we rarely spend all of it.</p>
