The approved audited financial statements can be found in the Appendix of the 2018 RCA Annual Report.

The following is a summary of the results:

1. Our surplus for the year from operations is $55,613. Factors contributing to this result are as follows: • Our membership fees were more than budget by $40,000. • T he Governance and National operations cost were down by $15,000 from savings on rent and employee cost.

2. W e incurred $128,607 expensed to Communication, Marketing and Initiative cost that was reimbursed through our National Sport Federation Enhancement Contribution Program. This program will end in fiscal 2019.

3. T he cash resources at the end of the fiscal year were $1,115,953, this is a result of receiving all funds from our support partners by the end of the year. Our prepaids and accounts payable are higher than last year as it reflects cost incurred for World Cup and Championships all of which are post March 31, 2018 events.

The net surplus for the year was $79,120 after inclusion of the gain on disposal of assets of $23,507.

The year again reflects the hard work of our staff and leadership to manage the operations in a cost-efficient manner to achieve a minor surplus.
