            <div>At first glance, it looks good. GST owing looks right.
              It would probably be good to have a clearer indication
              what figures include GST (or don't) -- I guess the
              registration amounts are what was collected ex-GST, eg?
              DDU FY summary looked odd, but obviously that's only
              because the expenses didn't happen 'til this year.
              Conferences look to be on the order of:</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>    LCA: $400k budget? $50k profit?</div>
            <div>    PyCon AU: $42k budget, $7k profit</div>
            <div>    Drupal Down Under: $40k budget, $5k profit?</div>
          </div>

        <div>Interesting to look at the conferences as a return on
          investment?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>LCA = 12.5%</div>
        <div>PyCon AU = 16.5%</div>
        <div>Drupal Down Under = 12.5%</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>All twice as good as just putting the money in the bank
          (which is roughly 6%pa). Maybe we should do more conferences!</div>
