I agree in the right measure. Planed income was 5M$ bigger than planed expenses. Thats fine.

But actual income were 3M$ higher than planned. And actual expenses were 2,3M$ lower than planned yielding in more than twice savings than planed.

And it makes even more difficult to me to understand why we have 0,5M$ expenses in bank fees, 0,4M$ in capital expenditures and not a single cent in financial incomes.

AIUI, it was long a goal for the foundation *not* to be living hand to mouth, but to start keeping an actual reserve to hand.
