NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.
Financial Projection as of 03 December 2012
*** Condition: Cautiously Optimistic ***
501(c)3 status rescinded. Refiled 1023 for retroactive
status 25 June 2012. Did not hear back within 90 days;
therefor, must assume that there are issues and our case
must be assigned to an agent. IRS is currently assigning
applications received in February 2012. Ours was received
in June. We will not have our status reinstated for the
2012 tax year. To current financials, HBD is officially
bankrupt in May. Due to recent political developments,
HBD.org will likely have to be dissolved per the bylaws
once funding runs out.
Projected 2012 Budget $3191.79
Expended against projection $3137.96
Unplanned expenditures $ 331.88
Projected Excess/(Shortfall) $1282.62
As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged
and accounted for on the HBD web page. Thank you.
