Dear Musicians,
To keep the participants abreast of information that impact their annual distribution, the SRSPF periodically posts it's financial results to the website. Accordingly, below are the SRSPF's Statement of Activities and Schedule of General and Administrative Expenses for ten months ended February 28, 2007 and 2006. For the ten months ended February 28, 2007, Total Unrestricted Revenue decreased approximately $764,000 (5.7%) over the prior year. This was mainly attributed to the combination of Employer Contributions decreasing $1,250,000 (10%), which was offset in part by a $356,000 (140%) increase in interest income and a $90,000 (3.2%) savings in General and Administrative Expenses.
The next report of the Fund's financial information will be posted to the website during the summer in conjunction with the report on the Fund's annual distribution scheduled for August 1, 2007.
Best regards,
V. Robert DiPaola
Fund Administrator
