4. Treasurer's Report

• The financial accounts have now been audited.
• Liz's salary is divided under projects and allocated by time, rather than listed as a 'salary'
• Query raised as to whether there are any guarantees of income. To see note 2 in the annual report. At present LSA is financed by LTNZ via HSC for national networking. Would be good to see health funding as well as recreation funding also. Suggested that to be sustainable, 3-4 sources of income would be ideal.
• Noted that with such little money, a lot is achieved.
