Gil
In the absence of ever receiving my CPA, I've made a stab at providing you a brief and broad overview of the financial
operation of Five Flags Center for the past three years.
I took my numbers from the Financial Statement Highlights For the Twelve Months Ending June 30, 2005, 2006, and 2007
(revised version).
For specific information about our Key Expenditures, I went to the same set of financials but utilized the Indirect Expense
Summary document.
I provided you with about six bullet points or talking points that I ferreted out of the financial data.
I'm at my desk all afternoon if you need additional information or if you have questions.
