This was the second month closing the books in Vantaca and things have moved along very well. The financials were completed on time, and we see better reports than were available in the prior reporting system.

We are working with Imagineers to clear the old amounts due to the community. The $81,814.87 in account 2120 – Due to Reserves has been cleared.

There are still outstanding invoices in acct. 2100 – Accts Payable to be cleared. When those outstanding invoices are cleared, there will be a small balance outstanding. We will increase the reserve contribution each month to clear the account year by year end.
