Prepare the monthly board update from our financial results, sales pipeline, and delivery progress.
September revenue closed at $900,000 against a $1 million plan, a 10% shortfall. Gross profit was $540,000, producing a 60% margin versus the planned 62%. Cash was $1.8 million; the simple twelve-month runway illustration assumes the current $150,000 monthly net burn remains unchanged.
The finance variance log attributes the revenue gap to $70,000 of unaccepted delivery milestones and $30,000 of unclosed expansion work. Neither amount should be counted as recovered revenue merely because an owner expects progress next month. I have kept actual results, pipeline context, and recovery scenarios separate.
The board’s immediate questions are whether delivery can secure the outstanding customer acceptances, how Sales will qualify the expansion opportunities, and whether discretionary spending should be revisited if the gap persists. The report includes named proposed owners and checkpoints. It does not convert the $2.4 million unweighted qualified pipeline into a revenue forecast or treat the illustrative runway as a cash-flow model.
