Period: April 1 – April 30, 2026 Basis: Accrual Prepared by: J2 Bookkeeping Sent: [date]
April was a planned investment month for Nob Hill. Revenue held steady at the Q1 run-rate, but expenses spiked $12K above trend due to Nob Hill startup costs. Net income came in at ($4,330) for the month. Year-to-date you're still solidly profitable at +$59,123.
You also personally invested $20,166 into the business this month to fund Nob Hill — that's reflected on the balance sheet as a Contribution to equity, not as money you'll need to recover from the company.
| Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | YTD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 88,142 | 78,051 | 88,620 | 77,966 | 332,778 |
| Expenses | 64,606 | 56,734 | 69,833 | 82,144 | 273,317 |
| Net Income | 23,492 | 21,263 | 18,698 | (4,330) | 59,123 |
Revenue: $77,966 — essentially flat with February, slightly below January and March. No demand softness; April had a normal mix.
Expenses: $82,144 — up ~$12K vs. the Q1 average of ~$64K. The bump is concentrated in three places: - Office Supplies $11,777 — driven mostly by Nob Hill setup purchases (signage, fixtures, small equipment). Q1 average was ~$1,200/month, so April is ~10x normal. This should normalize back to baseline in May once Nob Hill is operational. - Software & Apps $4,922 — captures Nob Hill systems setup booked via the month-end Nob Hill startup entry (JE04302026). - Utilities $6,673 — Water came in at $4,600, on the higher end of normal seasonal variation.
Net Operating Income: ($4,178) — first negative month of the year. Driven entirely by the Nob Hill setup spend, not by any operational issue at the existing stores.
| Line | Amount | Funded by |
|---|---|---|
| Cash injection to Nob Hill operating account | $14,750 | Owner personal funds |
| Leasehold improvements (Joshua Craighead) | $3,000 | Owner personal funds |
| Setup supplies & fixtures | ~$11,500 | Business operating |
| Software & systems setup (month-end entry) | ~$4,700 | Business operating |
| Total Nob Hill April investment | ~$34K | Mixed |
Your direct cash injection of $17,750 ($14,750 + $3,000) is now properly recorded as a Contribution to equity. Your previous balance sheet showed this as a confusing reduction to your distributions — the cleanup this month restated it correctly.
| Account | Balance |
|---|---|
| Filbert (6702) | $1,343 |
| Pacifica (6652) | $778 |
| Walnut Creek (6736) | $734 |
| Nob Hill (5121) | $3,575 |
| TOB Savings | $2,005 |
| Total business cash | $8,435 |
Operating cash is tight across the board. Once Nob Hill begins generating revenue, this will rebuild quickly. In the interim, the AR aging is clean ($0 outstanding) and AP is current ($0 outstanding).
Three legacy or in-progress items that affect how the financials look but are not new April activity:
Equipment line on the Balance Sheet shows a negative number. This is a presentation quirk — Accumulated Depreciation ($811,787) is netting only against the Equipment subgroup, even though it actually covers all fixed assets (Equipment + Improvements + Furniture + Intangibles totaling $924K of cost). The bottom-line Total Fixed Assets of $112,506 is correct; the line-item Equipment display will be cleaned up in next month's COA restructure.
"Reconciliation Adjustment" of ($317,013) in the equity section. This is a legacy bank-reconciliation plug from pre-J2 bookkeeping. We are not unwinding it (would require forensic review of bank statements going back several years); recognizing it openly so you know what that line is.
Office Supplies includes ~$6,282 of payments to Barclay (personal credit card). Going forward, business expenses on the Barclay card require receipts under a formal Accountable Plan — we'll get that set up before next month's close so the underlying charges land in their proper expense categories instead of "Office Supplies."
