Therefore, this is reflected in the accounts both as an income and an expense, as we both received the income and also refunded the payment, and received a refund of host fees and payment provider fees. Affected line items are denoted with an asterisk.<\/p>\n<p>With this being said, we continue to work hard to generate revenue for Mautic so that we can meet our goals for the year and continue to grow sustainably. At this time we are forecasting some challenges in cash flow liquidity towards the end of the year as a result of less than expected income from several revenue streams.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Income<\/h3>\n<p>This month saw the Mautic World Conference sponsorship really kicking off with nearly $9,500 of revenue generated against a target of $20,000. We&#8217;ve also started to sell tickets to the event, with just over $200 in revenue against an overall target of $10,000 for the in-person event and $3,000 for the online event. It&#8217;s early days as we&#8217;ve not yet announced the speakers and agenda, but we&#8217;re pleased to see people booking their place early at our flagship conference.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\" style=\"width: 740px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"border-block-start-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.5);\">Description<\/th>\n<th style=\"border-block-start-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.5);\">Amount<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">Corporate members<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">$10,000 *<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Event sponsors<\/td>\n<td>$9,465.74<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">Refunds<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">$1,499.51 *<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Monthly sponsors<\/td>\n<td>$780<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">Individual members<\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">$700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Event tickets<\/td>\n<td>$201.78<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\"><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\">Total<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color: rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.07);\">$22,647.03<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expenditure<\/h3>\n<p>As noted above some of the expenditure line items are a bit confusing this month due to the refund of a large membership.
