FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 ADOPTED BUDGET
The adopted consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $106,375,000. This amount includes $44,000,000 from State Special Funds, $312,000 in Federal Funds and $62,063,000 in Revenues from Internal Sources.
Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $18,575,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to a change in contributions assigned through Act 178-2010, which established that part of the Puerto Rico Rum Promotion Program budget will be assigned to local rum producers so they are able to compete with United States rum producers.
State Special Funds, per Act 143 of June 30, 1969, as amended, are generated from rum export tax revenues. These resources will be used to continue the marketing of Puerto Rico's rum and liquors in the United States and to continue to provide incentives to local producers to increase the rum export volume.
Federal Funds included are the result of collaborations between the Company and the US Defense Department for the financing of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTAC). The Federal Government contributes 75% of funds for PTAC and the remaining 25% are matched with the Company's revenues. The program provides technical assistance to industries for the offering of products and services to the Federal Government.
