The distributors of the Koi Doctor and Koi 2Kichi are asking if the AKCA Bookstore wishes to distribute those books?  If was felt that we need more information.  The CFO is handling the 2005 Seminar registration; is taking time but is running much smoother than past years and expect the final result to be much cleaner plus the money is in our bank account.  19 vendor booths and 104 Seminar registrants have paid so far for Tulsa Seminar.  All but 11 people have taken Package 1 (86 are couples).  There are 41 first time attendees.  44% are using the on-line website with credit card.  Received the new satellite credit card machine and it is up and running in the Bookstore.  Gave the fixed credit machine to Connie and she will have it switched over to the Accounts Receivable Nova account.   Doug needs a policy to require people to submit their expense reports in a timely manner to keep the expenses in the proper fiscal year.  He will call for end of the year expense reports to be submitted by June 30th.  Motion:  That the be an AKCA Financial Policy stating that AKCA will only reimburse expenses less than 12 months old.  Motion by Doug, 2nd by Burt.  Approved, 1 opposed.  .  Motion:  That end of the year expense reports be submitted by June 30th.  Motion by Doug, 2nd by Bob.  Approved.  Doug received $12,081 tax refund from the IRS.  Still no refund from the State.  The tax review for years 1999-2003 have been completed.  Amnesty forms for all years have been sent to the state.  Amended tax forms for all years will be prepared and submitted by May 30.  Total amount of back taxes due will be $57,675.  Doug sent the AKCA Board recommended answers and By-Laws for the new KOI USA subsidiary to the attorney with a letter requesting a written estimate and list of documents and actions required to complete this task.  The attorney replied he has been remiss and busy but feels our goal of 7/1 is reasonable for this effort and will send him detailed information next week on what is involved and hopefully a cost estimate.  Total expenses for the month were $42,525.93.  Net income was $28,841.93.
