- A new record performance in monthly revenue with $212k in sales for an increase of 12% from the previous record month’s sales of $190k
- Sales of paper tabs drove the record revenue as paper tab sales were $100k while e-tabs were $103K.
- The paper tab / e-tab sales ratio of 97% is the highest on record; to put the 97% into perspective, in December 2021, the paper tab / e-tabs sales ratio was 38%.
- Gross profit on paper tab sales also established a new high at $20k driven by a solid gross profit margin of 20.4% in March 2022.

- In other gambling news, Dawn has inquired if FRYS would be willing to sponsor/purchase a new video horse racing game to be played at Boxers, costing ~$1,500 for the system
- Assuming all the tickets are sold, gross profit per game is guaranteed at $92 per game ($308 purse); however, costs to purchase the paper cards and profit-sharing with Boxers are taken out of the $92 gross profit for a net income per game likely around the $50 mark, requiring ~30 games be played to break-even on the investment
- The “shelf-life” of the computer system is many years, so FRYS will turn profits for years to come once the break-even point is reached
- On a motion by Jake Cook with a second by Dr. Huston, FRYS membership approved the purchase of horse racing system
- With regards to monthly expense approval, the following sought membership approval:
