Dear Musicians, As noted in my message to you last March 21, 2005, to keep the participants abreast of information that impacts on their annual distributions, the SRSPF will periodically post its financial results to the website. Accordingly, below is the schedule of General and Administrative expenses, as reported in the SRSPF's audited financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2005. General and Administrative expenses for the year totaled $3,524,580, which was 3.3% below the amount budgeted for the year, excluding depreciation and amortization which is a non-cash item that does not effect the annual distribution. Also reported below are the unaudited General and Administrative expenses for the four months ended August 31, 2005. During this period expenses totaled $990,996, excluding depreciation, as compared to the $1,185,800 that was budgeted. While this is a 16.4% savings compared to the budget, ten percent of this savings is attributed to the timing of certain vendor payments, which if paid during the period would effectively reduce the savings to 6.4%. The next report of General and Administrative expenses is expected to be posted to the website in early spring 2006 and will cover the eight months ended December 31, 2005. Sincerely, V.
