[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] financial summaries posted for Sugar Labs' 4 fiscal years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015

[James Cameron]

I've a related degree in business, which covered much accounting.

The statements show considerable health; assets greater than
liabilities, income greater than expenses, over a reasonable time
span.

Sugar Labs should spend a bit more.  I've no suggestions on what to
spend on, but I'm sure the board can come up with some ideas.
