[Board] Funding for booth at Location Intelligence

[Dave McIlhagga]

Tyler, Board,

I'm just getting caught up after a few weeks away, so apologies if I'm 
behind in some background information.

I reviewed the financial statement for jan 06-07, but I'm feeling a bit 
concerned about our realistic financial status looking forward over the 
Jan '07-'08 period.

I think it would be irresponsible to approve the location intelligence 
funding, or the vis com budget without the comfort that we have 
reasonable certainty of sufficient cash-flow to meet our minimal 
commitments over the course of the year.

Is there any documentation that I'm missing that would give some ideas 
in terms of financial standing and expected revenues/expenses during the 
'06-'07 budget year?

Dave
