<br /> Brief Summary/Explanations:
<br /> The audit for the fiscal year ending 06/30/2023 was conducted by the auditing firm of
<br /> Davenport, Marvin, Joyce, Price and Sprinkle (DMJPS) with Mason Barringer as lead auditor. The
<br /> completion of the audit was delayed by late reporting of OPEB calculations performed by Cavanaugh
<br /> MacDonald, the Board's long-time actuarial firm. However, DMJPS was able to submit the audit to
<br /> the NC ABC Commission in time to comply with the mandatory 09/30 reporting deadline.
<br /> Highlights:
<br /> • Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) decreased by 14.18% over the
<br /> prior year. Current assets ($7,777,839) decreased -$214,083 while current liabilities
<br /> ($3,400,630) increased $508,963, due primarily to the allocated net pension liability
<br /> (state retirement) ($1,413,742, +$1,050,280) (pages 4 & 10).

<br /> • Net position increased$1,205,540, down-$748,373 (38.30%) from the previous
<br /> year's unusually high ($1,953,913) growth, due primarily to the Board's decisions to
<br /> pay off the BB&T/Truist debt and finance only the money necessary to pay the
<br /> builder for the construction of Store 004. All other expenses for Store 004 -furniture,
<br /> fixtures, equipment, architect, engineering,permits etc.-were paid by the Board using
