FINANCIAL DATARevenues and Expenses: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2008
Balance Sheet: Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2008Note: The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot long survive, but the types of assets and liabilities also must be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
Financial Comments from the OrganizationIn fiscal year 2007, 82 percent of all Association expenses were committed directly to program activities that support those living with Alzheimer's and those advancing Alzheimer research.
