WHEREAS, the Organic Law directs that His Majesty's Government submit a Budget by the second Clark of the current term of the Cosă,
SECTION A - Financial Report THEREFORE, His Majesty's Government notifies the following financial report to the Ziu:
The current funds of the Kingdom consist of a checking account, a savings account, and a PayPal account. The former two are currently held at Ally Bank, and are in the process of being transferred to Wells Fargo Bank by the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue.
Based on reporting from the Burgermeister of Inland Revenue as of 30 June 2024, and subsequent payment of registration fees between July 2nd and July 11th, these accounts stand at the following balances:
- Checking: 31¤04 (US$46.60)
- Savings: 826¤39 (US$1,239.97)
- PayPal: 427¤04 (US$640.59)
Total: 1284¤46 (US$1,927.16)
Between the June 30th Treasury report and the previous Treasury report as included in the Budget for the 59th Cosă, the following changes had occurred:
- Savings: + 19¤57 (US$29.93) from interests earned
- PayPal: + 54¤08 (US$81.21) from a contribution by one citizen totaling 3¤20 (US$5.00), payment of registration fees by COFFEE and IND, and sales of coins, stamps and items on printify.com
Total : + 74¤06 (US$111.14)
No expenditures have occurred, as Talossa's webpresence is run at no cost for the time being.
Since the June 30th Treasury report, a number of registration fee payments have been publicly noted by the Burgermeister, along with a single contribution:
- PayPal: + 46¤40 (US$70.00) from a contribution by one citizen totaling 3¤20 (US$5.00) and payment of registration fees
